The recommended weight gain during pregnancy depends on the mother's pre-pregnancy weight and height. Since Hayley was underweight before becoming pregnant, her physician will recommend that she gain between 28 and 40 pounds during her pregnancy. This will help ensure the healthy growth and development of her baby. Choosing options A, B, or D would result in either insufficient or excessive weight gain for Hayley.
