Answer to Question 1

B
A weight gain between 15 and 25 pounds during pregnancy is recommended for a woman who is overweight prior to pregnancy (BMI 25.0-29.9). Pregnant teens and underweight women should gain 28 to 40 lbs. Recommended ranges for weight gain are based on prepregnant weight and individual variables.

Feedback:
In a healthy woman, the recommendation for iron decreases during lactation (9 mg) from pregnancy (27 mg). There is no change in the recommendation for vitamin D, protein, and calcium.
