Daily calorie target = Estimated maintenance calories + Selected calorie surplusThe calculation links Pre-pregnancy weight lbs, Height ft in — height Feet and Height ft in to recommended weight gain. A plotted or calculated range is tied to the selected starting category and pregnancy assumptions. It does not assess the cause of a weight change.

Explore the pregnancy weight-gain reference implemented by the tool from pre-pregnancy measurements and gestational stage. Distinguish a reference trajectory from an individual treatment plan.
A plotted or calculated range is tied to the selected starting category and pregnancy assumptions. It does not assess the cause of a weight change.
Prepare Pre-pregnancy weight lbs, Height ft in — height Feet, Height ft in, Current weight (optional) lbs, Current week and Number of babies. Use pre-pregnancy weight where requested and check the gestational week before reading the reference range.
A plotted or calculated range is tied to the selected starting category and pregnancy assumptions. It does not assess the cause of a weight change. Multiple pregnancy, medical conditions and clinician advice can require a different interpretation. Sudden changes and symptoms cannot be evaluated here.
Use the full settings in the worked-example table. They produce Recommended Weight Gain: 25 - 35 lbs. Compare the method and units as well as the displayed number.
The displayed relationship is Daily calorie target = Estimated maintenance calories + Selected calorie surplus Use pre-pregnancy weight where requested and check the gestational week before reading the reference range.
Multiple pregnancy, medical conditions and clinician advice can require a different interpretation. Sudden changes and symptoms cannot be evaluated here. For personal care, discuss the measurements and method with a qualified clinician.
Worked pregnancy weight gain calculator example. Set Pre-pregnancy weight lbs = 140; Height ft in — height Feet = 5; Height ft in = 4; Current weight (optional) lbs = 150; Current week = 20; Number of babies = One baby. The corresponding output is Recommended Weight Gain: 25 - 35 lbs. A plotted or calculated range is tied to the selected starting category and pregnancy assumptions.

Use pre-pregnancy weight where requested and check the gestational week before reading the reference range.
| Field | Example value | Entry check |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-pregnancy weight lbs | 140 | Use the measurement unit printed beside this field and a consistent measuring technique. |
| Height ft in — height Feet | 5 | Keep feet and any inch remainder in their separate fields. |
| Height ft in | 4 | Keep feet and any inch remainder in their separate fields. |
| Current weight (optional) lbs | 150 | Use the measurement unit printed beside this field and a consistent measuring technique. |
| Current week | 20 | Use the period unit in the field label; months and years are not interchangeable. |
| Number of babies | One baby | Use the stated unit and the measurement required by this model. |
Relationship used for this example: Daily calorie target = Estimated maintenance calories + Selected calorie surplus

| Output | Displayed result |
|---|---|
| Recommended Weight Gain | 25 - 35 lbs |
With these settings, recommended weight gain is 25 - 35 lbs. Use the same units and calculation mode when reproducing this example.
