Question
Genesis went together with her BFF, Cassy, who is also pregnant with a pre-pregnancy weight of 121 lbs with 5’7 in height. In Cassy’s case, she is to gain weight how much additional weight, as advised, in her pregnancy?*1 pointA.25 - 35 lbsB.15 - 25 lbsC.28 - 40 lbsD. 25 - 42 lbs
Solution
The recommended weight gain during pregnancy can vary depending on a woman's pre-pregnancy weight and BMI (Body Mass Index). For a woman who has a normal pre-pregnancy weight and BMI, the recommended weight gain is typically between 25-35 lbs.
In Cassy's case, we first need to calculate her BMI to determine which category she falls into.
BMI is calculated as weight (in pounds) divided by height (in inches) squared, multiplied by 703.
So, for Cassy:
- Convert her height to inches: 5'7" = 67 inches
- Calculate her BMI: (121 lbs / (67 in)^2) * 703 = 18.9
A BMI of 18.9 falls into the "normal weight" category.
Therefore, the recommended weight gain for Cassy during her pregnancy would be 25 - 35 lbs. So, the answer is A. 25 - 35 lbs.
