Usually in the world of women one of the most talked about subjects is about miraculous and miraculous diets to lose weight and lose those blessed pounds that insist on not disappearing from the scale. When you start to plan to get pregnant, yes, it comes to concern, not only about your current weight, but how much you will reach the end of your pregnancy and losing weight to get pregnant becomes not only a matter of aesthetics, but of health.
In the minds of the vast majority of women everything is valid to be able to lose unwanted pounds, and they are looking for miracle diets, teas that dry fat and the much sought after remedies that work miracles in a short time. Or there are those who seek to plan better, enter the gym, exercise and start a healthy diet or even a good dietary reeducation to lose weight in order to get pregnant. When a woman becomes pregnant, the doctor is asked by a huge battery of tests to know about her health, after all she needs to be healthy to be able to generate a baby. A large part of the women would need to lose weight to get pregnant, but they already start the pregnancy with overweight and if there is no stricter control, she can reach obesity during pregnancy, which can result in gestational diabetes , hypertension, pre-eclampsia and even even increase the risk of postpartum hemorrhage .
Another very important detail is that obesity can hinder the realization of the dream of becoming pregnant, as studies show that overweight couples have more difficulty in having children , as obesity decreases fertility. When they manage to get pregnant, they have a high chance of the baby also being born with above average weight and with a high probability of reaching obesity in early childhood. Another factor is in relation to childbirth, which the vast majority of babies of obese mothers as they are born with an overweight weight are obliged to be removed through cesarean section, making it impossible for them to pass naturally through the woman’s vaginal canal, as the baby’s size can bring risks to both. In addition, the picture of deaths during childbirth indicates that the vast majority occur with obese women.
Have I Got Fat and Now?
When a pregnancy occurs without scheduling and the woman is already overweight, care must be doubled. Control is essential in food, especially fatty foods and sweets that are highly caloric. Restrictive diets are not recommended, as carbohydrates and nutrient-rich foods are required, which are often streaked from diets that in the absence of these foods in pregnancy can compromise the baby’s development.
The ideal is to talk to your obstetrician, who will have a balanced diet to follow or even refer to a specialist who will indicate what you can do, such as an endocrinologist or nutritionist. In addition to good nutrition, there are physical exercises recommended for pregnant women, such as water aerobics and light walking which, in addition to helping to control weight, will help when the time comes for delivery. Obviously, before any physical exercise is started, the doctor who accompanied the prenatal care must be requested to be released .
