Hi lybrate-user. Thanku for writing into Lybrate. When we consider your height your ideal weight should be around 65-68 kg. So you are over weight. If you are overweight, the best way to protect your health and your baby's wellbeing is to lose weight before you become pregnant. By reaching a healthy weight, you increase your chances of conceiving naturally and reduce your risk of the problems associated with being overweight in pregnancy. Hereby I am advicing few medication and general tips to follow. Medication:- 1. Tab Obesidat -1 tab twice a day before food. 2. Triphala juice-10 ml with warm water daily before food twice a day 3.Avipattikara churna-1/2tsp with warm water at bed time. Tips:- 1.No salt intake after 7: 30 pm 2.No aerated drinks.
