Pregnancy Weight Gain Chart By Week
It can be difficult to keep track of your pregnancy weight gain, especially as your belly grows. Use this pregnancy weight gain chart by week to help you stay on track.
The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends that pregnant women gain 25 to 35 pounds during pregnancy. However, how much you should gain depends on your pre-pregnancy weight and body mass index (BMI).
If you are underweight (BMI less than 18.5), you should aim to gain 28 to 40 pounds.
If you are normal weight (BMI 18.5 to 24.9), you should aim to gain 25 to 35 pounds.
If you are overweight (BMI 25 to 29.9), you should aim to gain 15 to 25 pounds.
If you are obese (BMI 30 or more), you should aim to gain 11 to 20 pounds.
Most women will gain about 2 to 4 pounds in the first trimester, 1 to 2 pounds in the second trimester, and about 5 pounds in the third trimester.

Signs Of Ectopic Pregnancy At 6 Weeks
There are a few symptoms of ectopic pregnancy that can be seen as early as six weeks into the pregnancy. Unfortunately, many of these symptoms are also common during a normal, healthy pregnancy. So it’s important to get checked out by a doctor if you think you might be experiencing an ectopic pregnancy.
The most common sign of an ectopic pregnancy is pain. This pain can be sharp and stabbing, or it can be a dull, constant ache. It’s usually worse on one side of the body, and it may get worse when you move around or cough. You might also have vaginal bleeding, which can be light or heavy. Other symptoms can include feeling dizzy or lightheaded, having trouble breathing, and feeling nauseous or vomiting.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to see your doctor right away. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential for an ectopic pregnancy, as it can be dangerous if left untreated.
