For a smooth and healthy pregnancy, it helps to keep an eye on your weight gain. Gaining too much can be risky for both you and your baby — raising the chance of gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, and delivery complications.

Healthy weight gain is gradual and varies by your starting weight. A balanced diet built on vegetables, fruit, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats — combined with gentle activity your doctor approves — keeps gain in a healthy range while giving your baby what they need. Try to limit sugary drinks and ultra-processed snacks, which add calories without much nutrition.
