    Of course it’s not necessary to “eat for two” during pregnancy. Your focus should be quality not quantity. The healthy pregnancy weight gain chart shows you how many extra calories you will need each trimester. Both low birth weight and excessive fetal weight at delivery are associated with an increased risk of newborn complications during labor and pregnancy. A pregnancy weight gain chart is one of the ways which can help you to check how your pregnancy is progressing. Of course you might also get an individual pregnancy weight gain chart from your doctor which will take your own circumstances into consideration. An individual pregnancy weight gain chart will be more accurate than the average ones that you can find on the internet. You have the choice: you could even choose to not use a pregnancy weight gain chart at all. It may be enough for you to know that your doctor is usually checking on your weight anyway. He or she will also let you know if everything is alright. The pregnancy weight gain estimator is a general educational tool only, and it should not replace advice from your GP or midwife during your antenatal appointments.
