Healthy weight in pregnancy

Being at a healthy weight is always good for your health and it's helpful to be a healthy weight before you become pregnant. It's also beneficial to remain at a healthy weight during pregnancy as it helps your body prepare for the birth and lowers the risk of complications.

All women are different and health care professionals help women of all weights, without judgement. It's important to attend all your antenatal appointments and let them know if you have any concerns about your weight or any other problems.
