Is it safe or possible to lose weight during pregnancy if someone is overweight and has thyroid issues? I am concerned because being overweight may lead to excessive weight gain during pregnancy, which could affect health. Could you please guide me on how to manage weight safely in this situation?

It is not generally recommended to actively try to lose weight during pregnancy, even if you are overweight with thyroid issues. However, it is safe and beneficial to focus on healthy eating and regular light activity to avoid excessive weight gain during pregnancy. Managing thyroid levels with proper medication and regular monitoring is important for a healthy pregnancy. A thyroid profile should be checked to ensure your levels are controlled, and follow your doctors guidance for a balanced, healthy pregnancy.
