“The total weight gain in pregnancy is an average of 12.5kg. So, they don’t need to eat excessively to add more to that 12.5kg so that they don’t have cardiovascular complications.

On pregnant women skipping meals to have small babies and vaginal delivery, the professor stated that the weight of a baby was determined by a lot of factors and not by the food intake of the mother. “A baby’s weight is a combination of factors, father’s height, mother’s height, family traits, and so on.

The gynaecologist cautioned mothers against starving themselves during pregnancy, noting that it is dangerous.According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, eating well is one of the best things one can do during pregnancy.
