Is it safe to lose weight during pregnancy?

You should not lose weight during pregnancy.
Not gaining enough weight during pregnancy can increase the chances of having a premature (preterm) birth, or a small for age baby.
so if you are overweight or obese, you can prevent unnecessary weight gain

However, depending on whether the woman has a normal weight, is overweight or obese, the quantity of weight gain varies.
If you are obese or overweight, as recommended by your doctor, you can regulate your weight gain by healthy eating activities and safe workouts.
Reducing weight before conception is the safest way to prevent weight complications during pregnancy
