Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

HI, I am married for 2 year and am 26 years old.
We are planing to start trying soon. My weight is 45kg and height is 5' 2\" .
What should be ideal weight? i ve started to workout to increase weight and also started taking high protein food. but i guess it will take 3-6 months. will it be too late by then?
Plz help. Pete replied. Hi Nits,

You are very young. At this age, your weight is not at all a problem for conceiving. There is no ideal weight or age for conceiving. It depends on the health of the body.

It is good you are working out, but keep in mind the objective of the work out should be to get healthier and not to put on weight. I wouldn' t recommend you to take high protein diet unless you are involved in heavy muscle building exercise. The body needs a balance diet. The only time it requires more vitamins and minerals depends on the activity the body does. I am talking about the activity other than your daily routine.

Don' t even get into the weight gaining mode. Once you get in, its going to be difficult to reduce. Your body will anyway naturally put on weight when you conceive and through out your pregnancy.

The weight you have mentioned is not very less. It is marginally less for a lady of your height. So not to worry and be happy. Keep your work out going as it will explode your energy and this will give you a good physic and mental balance. Remember a healthy mind needs a healthy body.

God will bless you guys with one healthy baby soon.

Cheers !

Pete
