We have consulted the Royal College of Midwives to obtain the best advice possible to support members in managing their weight healthily during pregnancy.

The Royal College of Midwives are very pleased that we are able to support members during their pregnancy and, importantly, help members prevent excessive weight gain at this time.

There are no formal recommendations regarding appropriate weight change during pregnancy. However, a member may be given specific advice regarding weight change depending on her individual circumstances. Therefore, it is important that members follow the advice of their midwife regarding appropriate weight change during their pregnancy. Their Consultant can provide support in order to help the member achieve the recommendations given.
