What is the normal weight gain during pregnancy?
Ideally you should be putting on around 2 pounds a week during pregnancy. However, some mothers do not put on this much weight, and for some mothers it depends on their starting weight before becoming pregnant. Nonetheless, it is important to eat healthy during pregnancy to provide nutrients for the baby.
