Many new mothers are concerned with gaining weight when pregnant. This fear often doubles for women who are already overweight. Pregnancy is NOT the time to diet. When you’re pregnant it’s very important that you nourish your body and your baby with healthy food so your baby develops and grows. The suggested amount of pregnancy weight gain is 25-35 pounds. This weight will come off quite easily through nursing, exercising and eating healthy. Your focus should be taken off of weight and placed instead on chosing foods that will aid in your babies development.
