How Much Weight Should I Gain During Pregnancy?

Generally a weight gain between 25 and 30 pounds is recommended during pregnancy. Some women may gain more with no ill effects.

Weight gain in pregnancy begins slowly, only to pick up steadily later on. The timing of your total weight gain will be approximately:

0-12 weeks - little or no weight gain
12-20 weeks - 25% of weight gain
20-30 weeks - 50% of weight gain
30-36 weeks - 25% of weight gain
36-40 weeks - little or no weight gain

This calculator predicts ovulation dates based on the date of your last period and the length of your menstrual cycle. It provides approximate dates only. Having intercourse during the few days before ovulation will give you the best chance of becoming pregnant. Since sperm can survive for several days, keep in mind that these are not the only days to become pregnant.

Remember: If your periods are irregular, this calculator is not a good way to predict your ovulation dates. Speak to your doctor about other ways to help you identify when you can conceive.
