Your weight gain (or loss) goals in pregnancy are largely dictated by your starting weight and BMI. Women who are starting with a higher BMI may actually see weight loss in the beginning of pregnancy as they exercise and eat healthy. By the end of pregnancy, we like to see weight gain no matter your starting BMI. Ask your doctor about the recommended weight gain for your pregnancy!
It is not recommended to lose weight while pregnant. The minimum weight gain is 15 pounds for women who start off with a higher BMI(body mass Index)
