Healthy Mother, Healthy Baby: Managing Weight During Pregnancy

Published on Aug 11, 2026 7:00 PM

Healthy Mother, Healthy Baby: Managing Weight During Pregnancy focuses on an important but often misunderstood aspect of pregnancy care—how a woman's weight before conception and weight gain during pregnancy can affect both maternal and baby health.


The discussion will explore pre-pregnancy weight optimization, appropriate gestational weight gain, healthy nutrition, physical activity, gestational diabetes, pregnancy complications associated with obesity, and postpartum weight management. It will also address common myths, including the belief that pregnancy means “eating for two” or that weight gain should be avoided altogether.


Join us at 7:00 PM for an insightful discussion on how women can achieve a healthier pregnancy and give their babies the best possible start in life.
