Carbs: Speak to your GYN about this, as it is encouraging you are asking this question at all. Good for you! Watching Carbs in you diet will help, the less carbs, the ,ess weight you will gain. Stay fit, exercise is imprtant too. Being overweight, can carry one main risk factor which is gestational diabetes, so do your best to stay healthy and at a reasonable weight during your pregnancy.
