Educational IOM-based estimate — follow your clinician’s advice.

Introduction

Gestational weight-gain guidance from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) depends on pre-pregnancy BMI. This calculator estimates total recommended gain and an approximate expected range for your current week, then compares it with weight gained so far.

Benefits

  • BMI-based IOM ranges
  • Week-aware expectations

Educational wellness tool only — not medical advice. Consult a qualified healthcare professional for personal decisions.
