I am 7 weeks pregnant. But problem is I am over weight. This is my second pregnancy after 4 years .from first I have twin daughters. Now issue is I am really scared of visiting Dr as they start insulting a patient that u r over weight etc etc. I am so much apprehensive and stressed from visiting a Dr. Suggest me what to do . Previously I was u under treatment of Dr riffat bano agha Khan. Please help..is it really dangerous to get pregnant when u r over weight? Consequences are not good ?? Tell me how to cope. please
congratulations on your pregnancy and as now you are already pregnant don't think about losing weight or being overweight. it is normal to gain weight during pregnancy which is one of the wonderful moments for a women. once you deliver your baby you can slowly plan about losing weight and getting into a healthier shape. Wishing you all the best.
(don't think about losing weight or being overweight.)
i am afraid this may not be a sincere advise .it is a real shame that you felt devalued and insulted by a physician, i guess those physicians need training for communication skills .being overweight is a medical risk for virtually every possible illness. During pregnancy you, of course, become high risk for pregnancy and birth-related complications including risk to your health and child health.i would strongly encourage to adopt a healthy lifestyle, including diet exercise.i big misconception is Pakistan is being pregnant mean eat for 2 people which is absolute nonsense.Adopt healthy eating and try shedding few kilos, but that doesn't mean you start getting stressed .enjoy the time and work hard for yourself and baby.
SINCERELY

We stay in dubai and.my wife is on vacation in pakistan she is facing pain in lower abdomen as per ultra sound in pakistan doctor said there some fluid collection between anterior abdominal wall and anterior surface of uterus wall tried all ways of medicine but pain remains same need your feedback on it
hi
its very limited information.i think detailed history is needed as potential causes for pelvic pain could be numerous .Findings of usg have to be correlated with information gained on history .
i am happy to speak/consult your wife and suggest management plan if need felt
