Aside from the other obvious health benefits like reduced risk for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and certain cancers, there are other special benefits for pregnant women as well.
By getting and maintaining a healthy weight before and during pregnancy, you can limit the potential of pregnancy related high blood pressure and the need for having an emergency c-section.
When a mother is overweight throughout pregnancy there is also a higher chance of the baby being premature as well as becoming overweight themselves.
When a mom is underweight throughout their pregnancy it can cause major health issues for both mom and baby as well.
In general, moms should be gaining about a pound a week if they are healthy weight or underweight during their second and third trimesters. Moms who are overweight are suggested to gain about half a pound per week during the second and third trimesters.
These are of course just suggested guidelines and you should always consult your doctor during pregnancy about any changes and any expected changes in routines or health.
