Pregnancy Weight Gain
During pregnancy, it's a good idea to keep track of your weight gain. Always consult with your healthcare professional if you are concerned.
There are many things you can do to prepare for the delivery of a healthy baby. One of the most important things is eating right to gain the extra weight you’ll need to support another life. Your doctor will keep a close eye on your weight gain during your pregnancy to make sure it’s in the right range.
