Can an overweight woman have a healthy pregnancy?

Question

I'm a bit overweight and now I'm pregnant. I'm concerned about my health and the baby's. Can an overweight woman still have a perfectly healthy pregnancy and delivery?

Deepika Parikh · Answer

I was overweight and had terrible morning sickness, which actually made me lose weight in the first trimester. Don't stress, just eat healthy and focus on your strength.

Haan na, weight doesn't mean you can't have a healthy baby. Many overweight moms have perfectly normal deliveries, bas thoda active rehna padta hai.

Listen to me clearly: ignore anyone who body-shames you. Just eat nutritious meals, walk daily, and follow your gynac's advice properly.

Yes, absolutely! My tracking app helped me monitor my weight gain and baby's growth weekly to ensure everything was perfectly safe.

I am in my 20th week now and was so anxious about my high BMI. Are any other plus-size moms here having a smooth second trimester?

My family was very worried about my weight, but my doctor kept reassuring me that my blood pressure and sugar were perfect. Trust your doctor, not people's comments.
