Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), overweight women (with a body mass index between 25-29.9) should aim to gain 15-25 pounds during pregnancy. This range is lower than for women with a normal BMI to maintain a healthy pregnancy and reduce the risk of complications such as gestational diabetes, hypertension, and preterm delivery. However, individual weight gain goals should be determined by a healthcare provider based on the woman's health history and pregnancy progress.
