One-fifth of pregnant women in the United States are obese, and more and more doctors are advising them to watch their weight if they want an easy pregnancy and a smooth delivery. In May, the Institute of Medicine issued guidelines lowering the minimum recommended weight gain for obese women to 11 pounds, from 15. Now, a large four-year trial called the Healthy Moms study is going further, trying to keep obese pregnant women from gaining any weight at all. If they do gain weight, researchers want it limited to 3 percent of their baseline weight, about 5 pounds for a woman who weighs 170 pounds.
According to the Institute of Medicine, USA, a woman whose body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 24.9 should gain from 25 to 35 pounds (11.4-15.9 kilograms) during the nine months. A woman who is overweight at the start of pregnancy should gain between 15 to 25 pounds (6.8 to 11.4 kg).Weight gain recommendations may also vary, depending on the woman's age, fetal development, and her current health. Excessive or insufficient weight gain can undermine the health of both the fetus and the mother.owever, this does not mean she should eat for two, i.e. her calorie consumption does not double, it just goes up. A woman who is not overweight at the start of her pregnancy, should gain between 25 to 35 pounds by the end of the nine months. Weight gain, if the mother is carrying just one baby, varies considerably.
