Should I be a certain weight for pregnancy?
Obesity affects ovulation and thus could make it difficult for women to fall pregnant or carry a baby to term.
In one study, a group of women who had a seventy-five percent miscarriage rate lowered that rate to just eighteen percent after adopting a healthy diet, exercising and losing weight. If you are infertile and overweight, losing weight may help you fall pregnant.
On the other hand, being underweight increases your risk for miscarriage, caesarean deliveries or giving birth to a premature baby. So a healthy weight is your best bet for fertility.
Chat to your doctor or gynaecologist if you are planning on having a baby and are concerned about your weight.
