Is it safe to reduce weight during pregnancy?

Question

Before I got pregnant, I was trying to lose some weight. Now that I am pregnant, I'm confused about whether it's safe to continue trying to reduce my weight, even a little bit, or if I should just focus on healthy eating? I don't want to harm the baby.

I was so worried about putting on weight, but my doctor told me healthy eating is what matters, not the numbers. It all balances out later.

I totally understand how hard it is to see the scale go up, but your body is doing a beautiful job. Please don't restrict your food and ask your doctor.

Trust me, you will lose plenty of weight running after the baby later, haha! Don't try any weight loss diets right now, just eat well.

I actually lost 2 kgs in my first trimester because of severe vomiting and got so worried. Did anyone else experience weight loss early on?

Anika Parmar · Answer

I agree with others, dieting to lose weight now is not safe. Better to consult your doctor for a healthy diet plan.

This is not the time to think about dieting, beta, the baby needs proper nutrition. Eat fresh ghar ka khana and let your gynac guide you on weight.

Dieting now? Your baby will definitely complain, haha! Just enjoy your healthy meals and leave the weight loss plans for next year.
