If you are gaining more than the recommended 28-40 lbs for Underweight BMI, talk to your provider. Focus on nutrient-dense foods, regular gentle activity, and avoid restricting calories without medical guidance.
If your gain is below the 28-40 lb range for Underweight BMI by week 22, discuss it with your provider. Inadequate gain can affect fetal growth. Small, frequent, calorie-dense meals may help.
