Feedback
A The woman has gained the appropriate amount of weight. It would be inappropriate to
have her decrease her weight gain.
B A woman in her 28th week of gestation should have gained between 17 and 20 lb. The
normal pattern of weight gain is 2 to 3 lb total in the first trimester (by 13 weeks) and 1
lb per week after that.
C Weight gain needs to be consistent during the last part of the pregnancy and should not
be suppressed.
D She has gained an appropriate amount of weight and should not increase the weight
gain.
