Pregnancy Weight Gain - The Mystery Solved

It is important that you remember that weight gain is a normal and healthy part of pregnancy. You have to gain weight in order to provide a healthy and comfortable home for the child that you will be nurturing for the next nine months.

体重增加对于怀孕的妈妈们来说是再正常不过的事，这也是为了健康考虑。为了给肚中的宝宝在接下来的九个月中创造一个健康舒适的空间，妈妈们也必须增加体重。

Most women want to know what the ideal weight is during pregnancy. Honestly, there is no one answer. Weight gain will vary from woman to woman. There is no one ’ideal’ weight during pregnancy, just like there is no one ’ideal’ weight that is just right for al women.

大多数的妈妈们都想知道怀孕期间体重增加至多少是理想值。老实说，没有确切的答案。每个妈妈体重增加的程度都不一样。怀孕期间没有什么“理想”体重。就像对女人来说没什么“标准”体重一样。

That said there are certain guidelines that you can follow to ensure that the weight you gain during pregnancy is healthy.

但是有一些参考，可以帮助你在怀孕期间健康地增加体重。

If you are normal weight before getting pregnant you should expect to gain between 25 and 35 pounds throughout your pregnancy.

如果怀孕前你的体重属于正常水平，怀孕期间增加25~35磅即可。

If you are underweight prior to pregnancy you will need to gain more weight, typically between 28 and 40 pounds during your pregnancy. Your healthcare provider will be able to provide you with more specific guidelines.

如果怀孕前偏瘦，你就需要多多增加体重了，一般来说，需要增加28~40磅。健康护理师会为你提供更有针对性的指导。

If you are overweight when you become pregnant you will only need to gain between 15 and 25 pounds during your pregnancy.

如果怀孕前超重，那么怀孕期间只需增加15~25磅即可。

Keep in mind that if you are carrying multiples (twins or more) you will typically be asked to gain even more weight, 45 pounds or more, depending on how many babies you are carrying.

值得注意的是，如果怀的是多胞胎，那么也许你还需努力增肥45磅以上，这主要看肚中有几个宝宝。

When you become pregnant it is important that you avoid dieting. A healthy diet that is composed of food from each of the four food groups will help ensure that you gain the right amount of weight during your pregnancy, making it easier to shed pounds after you give birth.

怀孕期间最重要的一点是不要节食。健康的饮食是四大类食物群均要涉及，这样才能确保怀孕期间健康地增重，以及孩子出生后更加容易地恢复身材。
