Would it be very likely for a pregnant woman to lose weight without hurting the baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tricky: See during pregnancy your daily caloric requirements increase because the baby is getting nutrition from your body. If you try to loose weight by compromising your diet that will directly effect the baby, yes what you should do is that eat a healthy balanced diet and do exercise daily like brisk walking etc. After the baby is born breast feeding helps loose weight.
