Gestational weight gain is the amount of weight gained during pregnancy. It is an important factor in the health of both the mother and the baby. Women who gain too much weight during pregnancy are at an increased risk of developing gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, and other health problems. On the other hand, women who do not gain enough weight may be at risk for having a low birth weight baby. The amount of weight gain recommended during pregnancy depends on factors such as pre-pregnancy weight, height, and overall health.
