Very strict dieting is likely to result in very small and overweight babies. The baby will have reduced resistance in addition to having nutrition deficiencies. If your body weight is too much there are not much chances of losing weight after delivery. Try eating low calorie foods and do mild exercises like walking and swimming. But see to it that you don’t lose out on the essential nutrients during pregnancy. Consult dietician for advice.
I have a craving for sweets and milk products. my friend is advising me to avoid them and get used to eating some other foods. What other kind of foods should I take?
Milk, milk products and sweets have a lot of fat in them. So there is a possibility of putting on weight. Low calorie food and low fat food like vegetables and fruits should be your choice.
Your body weight should not increase by more than 10 and 12 kg than your normal weight during pregnancy. Both overweight and underweight could be risky. If the body weight does not increase beyond a point or becomes less, there are chances of premature delivery or still birth. When the weight is more, the baby would have toxemia apart from other complications; the baby is likely to suffer from problems associated with overweight at a later date. Take medical advice to maintain your weight and take a well balanced diet.
