"Your healthy lifestyle habits can benefit your baby's health. Pregnancy can cause significant changes in a woman's body and daily routine. Most of the weight gain during pregnancy goes to the development of the fetus, growth, and the development of tissues that prepare the body for breastfeeding. The average pregnant woman gains between 11.5 kg and 16 kg during pregnancy.

25-40 pounds. Your doctor can tell you if you're in the right weight range or not.
It is a necessary biological response for a woman to gain weight during her pregnancy. The weight is added from fat that holds nutrients and water that both provide for and protect the baby. It is not possible to not gain weight during the pregnancy without harming the baby, but there are ways to lose the weight after the birth of the child.
A baby grows inside of you
10 lbs
Yes, this is normal. The amount of weight-gain will vary. If you were of an average weight before you became pregnant, you will probably gain about 25-30 lbs. during your pregnancy; if you are expecting twins, that number will be higher-- 35-45 lbs. The weight a woman gains during pregnancy usually will come off gradually, through diet and exercise, after the baby is born and her body recovers. Celebrities who seem to be extremely thin days after giving birth are not the norm; and doctors generally do not recommend extreme weight loss measures after a pregnancy.
I have found an excellent website that will answer all of your "weight-gain-during-pregnancy" questions. The link is: http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancyhealth/eatingfortwo.html It's The American Pregnancy Association's website's section on weight gain during pregnancy, but I think the advice there is good all over the world!!!
Usually what stops weight gain in a pregnancy is that your baby is not getting anymore nutrition causing it not to grow anymore.
In general, women gain pproximately 2 to 4 pounds during the first three months you're pregnant and 1 pound a week during the rest of your pregnancy.
Normal weight gain depends on your weight before pregnancy. If you are underweight you should gain 35 lbs, normal weight you should gain 25 lbs and if you are overweight you should gain 15 lbs. By 19 weeks you should have gained around 1/3 of the appropriate amount for you size.
I've had 2 babies and my doctor always told me that if a person is a normal weight, the weight gain should be between 25 and 35 pounds. A little more if you're underweight and a little less if you're overweight. But please keep in mind that everone is different and no amount of weight gain is "wrong".
Depending on ethnicity, heredity and nutrition given during pregnancy, average weight gain should be some where between 10 to 12.5 kg.
No, significant weight gain does not occur 3 weeks after conception. At this early stage of pregnancy, the embryo is still very small and not yet developed enough to cause noticeable weight gain in the mother. Weight gain during pregnancy typically starts becoming more noticeable around the second trimester.
