A member asked:
I'm 263lbs and almost 6 weeks pregnant what's the safest way for me to still lose weight and still making sure baby gets everything it needs?!?!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maintain weight: Would not recommend losing weight during pregnancy. Recommendations from the institute of medicine are to keep total weight gain during pregnancy between 11-20 pounds. Consider these: - Meet with a nutritionist to learn how to eat a healthy diet - Continue to stay active if your body will tolerate it. - Early diabetes screen to make sure you're not coming into pregnancy with diabetes
