How Pregnancy Weight Gain Calculation Works - Medical Methodology
Our Pregnancy Weight Gain Calculation System uses WHO-verified medical formulas and ACOG guidelines to provide accurate maternal health assessments. Here's the complete technical methodology:
BMI-Based Categories: Pre-pregnancy BMI determines total weight gain range: Underweight (BMI <18.5): 12.5-18 kg, Normal weight (BMI 18.5-24.9): 11.5-16 kg, Overweight (BMI 25-29.9): 7-11.5 kg, Obese (BMI ≥30): 5-9 kg.
Trimester Distribution: First trimester (weeks 1-12): 0.5-2 kg total, Second trimester (weeks 13-27): 0.5-0.7 kg per week, Third trimester (weeks 28-40): 0.5-0.7 kg per week.
Twin Pregnancy Adjustment: For twins/multiples: 16-24 kg total regardless of BMI, with 0.7-0.9 kg per week in second and third trimesters.
Weekly Calculation: Expected weight at current week = Pre-pregnancy weight + (Trimester-specific rate × Weeks elapsed in trimester).
AI Accuracy Enhancement: Our algorithms incorporate medical research data across different populations, pregnancy conditions, and health scenarios to provide context-aware pregnancy recommendations.
