Weight Loss Can Be A Safe Pregnancy And Obese Women

Dr. Manny Alvarez

According to a new study that appears to go against the traditional logic of medicine, obese women may actually be able to lose weight during pregnancy without risk to themselves or their babies.

real weight loss - if done correctly - can reduce the risk of women having a caesarean section.

Previously, many doctors follow the recommendations of the Institute of Medicine (IOM), an advisory committee of the American government, who say that obese women should receive 11-20 pounds during pregnancy.

It is less than weight gain between 25 and 35 pounds recommended for normal weight women, but some researchers say it is not so simple. These researchers have criticized the IOM do not consider the different levels of obesity.

Dr. Mary Blomberg, author of the new study found that severely obese women (those with a BMI of 40 or more) may actually benefit from weight loss.

The results of the study showed that obese women who lose weight, rather than the recommended amount, had less need C-sections and were less likely to provide new-born great.

Personally, I fully agree with the study. I think the results are important for practicing gynecologists who have this type of questions to consider.

Hard-to-obese BMI for women over 40 should have little or no weight gain during pregnancy, as long as they continue to follow a balanced diet that contains nutrients essential to maintaining a healthy baby and healthy mother.

The mythology throughout pregnancy, weight gain, only the number is completely shot, and now, midwives should focus on the initial weight of the mother to wait and decide the best course of action from there.

A balanced diet and exercise - especially among women - as long as no other risk factors is essential to reduce or eliminate problems during pregnancy.
