Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clients with a higher BMI (overweight or obese) are often advised to limit their weight gain during pregnancy to ensure both their health and the health of the baby. The recommendation for weight gain varies based on pre-pregnancy BMI, and for those with a BMI of 30 or higher, the recommendation is usually to gain between 11 and 20 pounds. This approach helps manage the risk of gestational diabetes, hypertension, and complications during delivery.
