+340 calories per day
During the second trimester, you need about 340 extra calories per day. That is roughly a yogurt with granola and fruit.
If you are gaining more than the recommended 15-25 lbs for Overweight 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 15-25 lb range for Overweight BMI by week 24, discuss it with your provider. Inadequate gain can affect fetal growth. Small, frequent, calorie-dense meals may help.
Most women can safely exercise during week 24. Walking, swimming, and prenatal yoga are excellent options. Aim for 150 minutes of moderate activity per week. Always consult your healthcare provider first.
Women with lower pre-pregnancy BMI need more weight gain to support a healthy pregnancy. Overweight BMI (BMI 25-29.9) has a target of 15-25 lbs because this range optimizes outcomes for both mother and baby.
