LifeCycle Project-Maternal Obesity and Childhood Outcomes Study Group gestational weight gain recommendations^[1]

Prepregnancy weight class	Prepregnancy body mass index (kg/m²)	Recommended weight gain
Underweight	<18.5	31 to <35 pounds (14 to <16 kg)
Normal	18.5 to 24.9	22 to <40 pounds (10 to <18 kg)
Overweight	25.0 to 29.9	4 to <35 pounds (2 to <16 kg)
Obese (class I)	30.0 to 34.9	4 to <13 pounds (2 to <6 kg)
Obese (class II)	35.0 to 39.9	Either weight loss or gain 0 to <9 pounds (0 to <4 kg)
Obese (class III)	≥40.0	0 to <13 pounds (0 to <6 kg)*

* The larger maximum weight gain in class III versus class II obesity likely reflects the relatively small number of women in these categories and the lack of statistical power to achieve more precise ranges.
