Using Pregnancy weight gain calculator
Compare your total weight change with CDC pregnancy weight-gain ranges for your pre-pregnancy BMI.
These are total-pregnancy reference ranges, not a target for your current week or instructions to change your diet. This lookup covers pre-pregnancy BMI below 40 and one baby or twins, matching the CDC table. For BMI 40 or above, triplets, swelling, rapid changes or individual concerns, discuss a personal range with your maternity clinician. Current weight does not change the reference range. No weekly gain curve is inferred.
A worked example
Someone 170 cm tall who weighed 65 kg before pregnancy (BMI 22.5) has a reference total gain of 25 to 35 lb for one baby.
