Obesity is one of the problems that many families are struggling with today, dear ones.
Unfortunately, at present, a negative correlation between excess weight and
pregnancy is being seen as one of the main reasons why it is becoming difficult to conceive.
How does excess weight affect the body?
So, how does excess weight affect the body? As a result of the effect of obesity on hormones, hormonal balance in the body is disrupted:
🔹 In women, ovulation disorders and changes in the
menstrual cycle are observed.
🔹 In men, the count and quality of spermatozoa decrease.
As a result, the probability of pregnancy decreases, and treatments may also take more time.
Obesity is not a verdict
❗️It should not be forgotten that obesity is not a verdict. It is possible to bring weight to normal through proper nutrition, physical activity, and medical supervision. In many cases, with weight loss, the probability of natural pregnancy also increases. An important rule is to reduce weight not drastically, but gradually and under the supervision of a specialist.
Obesity in pregnancy: why does it happen?
Gaining some weight during pregnancy is a natural and necessary process because the body changes to support the future child. However, if obesity during pregnancy exceeds the norm, it can be an extra burden for the mother and the fetus. Excess weight increases the risk of gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, and other complications during pregnancy. For this reason, it is important to monitor weight during pregnancy together with a doctor.
Preventing obesity in pregnancy
The best way to
prevent obesity in pregnancy is to bring weight to normal before pregnancy. In addition, the following helps:
- balanced nutrition and agreeing on the diet with a doctor;
- physical activity to the extent permitted by the doctor;
- regular medical monitoring and weight control;
- sufficient sleep and stress reduction.
A specific diet or weight plan should only be determined by a doctor based on your condition — self-imposed strict diets can be dangerous during pregnancy.
