Being overweight (BMI > 25) increases the risk of complications for pregnant women and their babies. With increasing BMI, the additional risks become gradually more likely, the risks being much higher for women with a BMI of 40 or above. The higher your BMI, the higher the risks.

Risks include-
Thrombosis
Gestational Diabetes
Pre-eclampsia & Hypertension

    My weight was 65 kg when I became pregnant. On my recent check up, it was 83 kg, all in a matter of 3months. I have also developed swelling over feet, and my BP was recorded high. Doc, my height is 5'2", what should I do ? What should be my ideal weight gain during pregnancy?
