Q. How do I lose Pregnancy Weight? I have recently given birth to a beautiful baby. During the pregnancy I have gained 50 pounds, and now I am having difficulty losing the extra weight. Do you have tips on how to lose pregnancy weight?

A. Hi Elizabeth.... proper diet and physical activity after pregnancy is difficult with all the changes in your life... I am an obstetrician and have found an excellent resource you can check out on line. Though I have affiliated with Holly Rigsby's program , you can sign up for free and get some helpful information. I am still constructing my website:.... prenatalwebsite.com ...... but once you arrive just click postpartum diet and fitness. Definitely google Holly Rigsby CPT to see how well published she is on this subject.
I wish I could offer you advice but as you already are aware , a lot of your concerns will revolve around your weight.... diabetes relating to pregnancy is impacted by weight just like maturity onset diabetes . Juvenile diabetes is a result of a lack of insulin whereas later onset diabetes is related to an inability to respond to insulin....you should be managed closely by your doctor to get your sugar under control... take care, Doug

Q. What Exercises Can I Do During Pregnancy? I am 16 weeks pregnant. My doctor told me that doing some exercise would help with my back pain. Is it safe? What exercises can I do during pregnancy?

A. Exercising regularly during pregnancy is recommended. Previously athletic women can keep their exercise routine as it was prior to the pregnancy and it is considered safe. However, for women who have not exercised on a regular basis before pregnancy, it is recommended to start with slow-moderate physical activities such as swimming, walking, yoga and pelvic floor exercises, that can ease back pain and increase flexibility. The building of muscle strength is important both for late stages of pregnancy and for labor itself.

Q. What is an Ectopic Pregnancy? I've heard that an ectopic pregnancy can be very dangerous. What is exactly an ectopic pregnancy?

A. Ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that occurs outside of the uterus- for example in the pelvis, behind the uterous, in the fallopian tube, in the cervix or even in the abdominal cavity. It is a very dangerous situation that requires immediate medical care.
