What if I'm gaining too much or too little weight?

Discuss any concerns about weight gain with your healthcare provider. They can assess your individual situation and provide personalized guidance on nutrition and exercise during pregnancy.

Is it normal for weight gain to vary week to week?

Yes, weight gain during pregnancy isn't always steady. You might gain more some weeks and less others due to factors like morning sickness, water retention, or growth spurts. Focus on the overall trend rather than weekly fluctuations.
