Generally, a total of 20-40 lbs of wt gain through the entire pregnancy is recommended. Very little is gained in the first 20 weeks.

Most women don’t gain much weight at all in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy and that okay as long as you are eating and drinking enough fluids per your body needs. Your appetite increases starting 18-20 weeks, then the weight gain will be steady.
Stay Healthy!
