Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nutrition of the Fetus Pregnancy is essentiallyfi'a problem in nutrition, and at this time the dominant metabolic forces are those Which favor growth. The mother's gradual but con sistent gain in weight amounts finally to about 30 pounds; exceptionally, it is as little as 10 to 15 pounds, and at the other extreme as much as 40 to 50 pounds. With individuals inclined to be stout the in crease is greater; and it is relatively greater in later pregnancies than in the first. During the early months of gesta tion the weight generally remains station ary or suffers a slight loss; even in those instances in which the weight begins to increase shortly after conception, the gain is less marked in the early months than later. For the last three months the aver age monthly gain has been found to be be tween and pounds. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
