Pregnancy and Being Overweight - Dr. Meeta Chawhan

Being overweight can adversely affect the pregnancy. If the woman is overweight, there can be problems getting pregnant in the first place, and she might put on more weight during the pregnancy as well. This could indirectly increase the weight of the baby, as well as result in gestational diabetes. There are chances of developing high blood pressure during the pregnancy too. Dr. Meeta Chawhan, Cloudnine Hospitals, advises that bringing down the weight before the pregnancy can be helpful for both the mother and the child. For more information, visit cloudninecare.com
