Generally: Ideally you should have a bmi between 20-25. Your bmi is well with an acceptable range of 27. However bmi >30 are classified as obese. So if you are planning a pregnancy, keep your weight stable by exercise, healthy eating habits, take Folic Acid 4 mg per day, and minimize alcohol, and no smoking. Healthy babies are gestated in healthy moms. Enjoy.

Body Mass Index: You can calculate your bmi at this website depending on your gender, height and weight: http://www.Nhlbi.Nih.Gov/guidelines/obesity/bmi/bmicalc.Htm. Health risks can also be determined by waist to hip ratio: http://www.Bmi-calculator.Net/waist-to-hip-ratio-calculator/. Be patient with yourself, you just created 2 human lives.
