Losing weight ok?

Question

I am now 14 weeks pregnant 5'11" 262lbs and diabetic. I have been bouncing from 265 to 273lbs and weighed myself this morning and now 262lbs is this safe I have heard that it is and I've heard it's not so I just wondering...

Answer

When you are overweight it is okay to not gain as much weight. Typically the weight-gain is mostly in the 3rd trimester so I wouldn't be too worried about it. I'm also overweight and my doctor told me he would like me to monitor my weight and try to gain less than 15lbs.  I'm almost 18 weeks and have gained 5 lbs so far (but I've been trying to eat extra healthy and make sure I go on a walk every evening).
