Follow the steps to successfully complete the Prenatal Weight Gain Grid.
- Press the ‘Get Form’ button to access the Prenatal Weight Gain Grid and open it in your preferred online editor.
- Begin by entering your personal information. Fill in your name, identification number, date of birth, and expected delivery date (EDD) in the designated fields.
- Measure your height without shoes and record it in the appropriate space. This measurement is crucial for determining your Weight Classification based on your Body Mass Index (BMI).

- Refer to the weight gain recommendations corresponding to your chosen classification. Note the total recommended weight gain and the suggested gain during each trimester.
- Each time you have a current weight measurement, enter the date, current weight, the number of weeks pregnant, and total weight gain in the chart provided.
- On the grid, place an ‘X’ at the intersection of the number of weeks pregnant and the pounds gained or lost during your current visit.
- If your expected delivery date changes, make a note next to the EDD space and start plotting new weight measurements based on the adjusted weeks pregnant.
- After completing the form, save your changes. You can then download, print, or share the completed grid as needed.

During the final months of pregnancy, your baby gains the most weight. In fact, according to the American Pregnancy Association, a fetus weighs around 2 pounds at 27 weeks, 4 to 4 ½ pounds by 32 weeks, and grows up to between 6 ¾ pounds to 10 pounds, if you have a full-term delivery.
