Can a pregnant women take slimming pills?
May 30, 2015

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Absolutely not! The main principle regarding weight control during pregnancy is that the pregnant woman must not try to lose weight. The best thing is to control the weight gain process so as not to put on too much weight which is unhealthy for both mother and baby. Controlling the rate at which you're gaining weight during pregnancy is done through diet and non strenuous exercise. Never take any diet pills while you're pregnant or breast feeding. Consult your obstetrician and seek advice from a dietitian on the matter.
