The definition of healthy weight is different for every pregnant woman. There is no single number that can be called true for pregnancy weight.
It is believed that too much or too little weight gain is not good for both mother and child. How much weight gain in your pregnancy affects your health after delivery. It can also affect the health of the child when it is large.

Focus on BMI
Weight gain during pregnancy depends on how much your weight was before getting pregnant. Body fat is called BMI, depending on your length and weight. This shows how much your weight gain is right.
How much weight should increase in pregnancy
If your BMI is less than 18.5 (underweight) before pregnancy, then you can gain 13 to 18 kg during pregnancy.
At the same time, if your BMI is 18.5 to 24.9 (normal weight) then your weight should increase by 11 to 16 kg. Having a BMI (overweight) of 25 to 29.9 is right to increase the weight of 7 to 11 kg in pregnancy. If a woman has a BMI of 30 (obese) or more before conceive, then her weight should be increased by 5 to 9 kg.
