What Are The Complications During Pregnancy Caused By Overweight?
Dear Sir, I am 24 yrs old, married woman. I am 17 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I have done complete health check-ups related to pregnancy but I am slightly overweight before pregnancy itself with large hip size. I would like to know if I can have a normal pregnancy which I very well wish to have.

Hello Thank you for the query. I understood ur question completely. Only on the basis of weight we cannot decide that it can be normal or lscs delivary. And slight over weight does not make much difference.there are other diseases associated with over weight like heart diseases ,diabetes, hypertension,which can be contra indicated for normal delivary. Also the contraction of uterus and effacement of cervix during labour are the criteria to take the decision for normalor lscs delivary. you mentioned all other investigations related to pregnancy are normal. I am glad to hear that. I hope I cleared ur query. Regards.
