Weight Gain During Pregnancy
During pregnancy, a woman gains about 27.5
pounds. This weight gain is due to the changes
in the pregnant womans body: a growing fetus,
as well as the placenta and amniotic fluid. This
extra weight is also due to an increase in blood
and other bodily fluids, as well as growth in the
uterus, mammary glands, and fat stores.

Weight gain is crucial during pregnancy because
if the mother is not at a healthy weight, health
risks are created for both the mother and the
baby. If the mother is underweight, there is an
increased risk of fetal death and birthing an
underweight baby. If the mother is overweight,
the baby may be born with a high weight and
there is an increased risk of the mothers pelvis
being too small for the size of the baby or the
baby trying to come out in the wrong position. An
example of this is if a baby weighs 10 pounds
and is to be birthed through a pelvis suited for a
7 pound baby problems may occur.
