Pregnancy Tips

W: Weight should be controlled

W: Weight should be controlled
Weight is an important factor for the health of your baby. Being overweight or underweight during pregnancy may cause problems. Try to get within 15 pounds of your ideal weight before pregnancy. Do not diet during a pregnancy! Do not stop eating or start skipping meals as your weight increases. Both you and your baby need the calories and nutrition you receive from a healthy diet. Be sure to consult with your doctor about your diet.
