OMG what total BS about what your OB said, get yourself a new OB firstly.

I am overweight 107kgs, im not sure what you are, and I have 2 healthy children. Yes my Ob thought I am at risk for diabetes, but I went on a low GI diet the wholet way through my first pregnancy and didnt get it. I actually only gained 3kgs during my first pregnancy. I week after birth I was 97kgs, and one month later I was 87kgs. The birth was emergency c/s but nothing to do with my weight.

Even with my 2nd pregnancy (which I wasnt on low GI diet) I didnt watch what I ate, I did put on 10kgs, but lost it a week after birth, elective c/s due to my first emergency one.

Pre eclampsia runs in my family I didnt get it at all.

If you exercise daily (walking is best) and eat low GI you will lower any risk due to being overweight, totally recommend it, I showed them I did it!
