When Should I Gain the Most? Although no two women are going to gain weight at exactly the same rate, there are some guidelines to follow: In the first trimester, you should gain 3.5 pounds if you're of normal weight. Underweight women need to gain 5 pounds, while overweight women should gain just 2. In the second and third trimesters, your weight gain begins to speed up. An average-weight woman will gain about a pound a week between weeks 14 and 28.
First trimester weight gain should total right around three to five pounds. Your weight gain during the first trimester will probably be barely noticeable. Often, first trimester weight gain is most noticeable in the size of the breasts. Weight gain during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy is going to be more steady after the first trimester. During the second trimester of pregnancy, you will gain around 1 to 2 pounds per week.
