BMI calculator

Watching your weight & BMI
Aside from their micronutrient levels, the health of mothers and their babies is also affected by a mother's weight or her Body Mass Index (BMI). Calculating a Body-Mass-Index is easy to do with our BMI calculator. Enter your body weight (kg) and your body height (m) and click the button.
Fact is: Women who maintain a healthy balanced diet by using our tips are way ahead in the end. Because as any experienced mother knows: Excess weight gained during a pregnancy is always tough to lose afterwards.

(Formula for the calculator: body weight (kg) ÷ body height (m) 2 = body mass index (BMI))

From a medical point of view, at the start of a pregnancy a body mass index between 20 and 25 is considered to be ideal for most women.
