Weight Loss Resources

Optimizing your body weight is one of the most effective ways to improve your fertility. Obesity is a known risk factor for infertility, recurrent miscarriage and maternal complications in pregnancy such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and need for a caesarean section. Evidence suggests optimizing body mass index, which is calculated based on your height and weight, can significantly reduce these risks.

At Pollin, we recognize how challenging it can be to lose weight. Your care team can help you navigate the options available to you to help you lose weight and ensure the best chance of achieving a healthy pregnancy.
