Q) I am pregnant now. My weight has increased a lot I look fat now. My doctor advised to shred some weight other wise he said i will be having problem during pregnancy and my child will be weak.
A) It is natural to increase weight during pregnancy, as the child grows in the womb and also other factors contribute to this increase in weight. You have mentioned your weight 68 pound (around 30 kg), I understand it is in kilograms.
It is common mistake to eat too much, including fats, during pregnancy. On the contrary, the requirement of energy is not increased drastically during pregnancy. It is true that too much of body weight have its own problems during pregnancy, child birth and in general. It should be based on the judgment of your doctor about how to go about it.
It should also be noted that if the weight increases faster than expected during pregnancy, than we need to be cautious.
Newer research have shown that those children whose mothers had a high pre-pregnant body mass index or large mid-upper arm circumference in late pregnancy, have a greater fat mass index at age nine years than other children in their age group.
