That depends on how the pregnant woman is losing the weight, what stage of pregnancy she's in when this happens, and how much she has lost or is planning to lose. In general, just about any method other than extreme exercise or not eating is going to be fine during the first two trimesters. Exercise is healthy and good for as long as the woman is comfortable and has the energy to do it. Dieting is a bit more complicated during pregnancy, but so long as she's getting healthy amounts of each of the food groups, she should be fine doing that for the entire pregnancy.

Pregnancy Weight Loss the Natural Way?

Pregnancy weight loss is not always a healthy idea. Women should gain weight during pregnancy and the best advice is to maintain body fat levels during pregnancy to avoid gaining too much weight. Eating a healthy diet along with mild exercise, as prescribed by a doctor, will help pregnant woman maintain a healthy weight during pregnancy. Losing weight after pregnancy is the best plan of action. Attempting to lose weight while pregnant could harm the development of the baby. If the mother has a normally poor diet, eating healthier foods during pregnancy will result in a natural and healthy pregnancy weight loss.

Can you not gain weight during an entire pregnancy and still have a healthy baby?

no not really. if in the entire 9 months of pregnancy there was no weight gained i would say that the baby would not be healthy. unless the mother had enough weight from the beginning to accommodate the baby's nutritional needs. Yes you can have a healthy baby, I lost 30kg in my pregnancy due to morning sickness and my baby had a score of 10/10 when born, this time I'm pregnant with my 2nd and the doctor told me it will be ok to lose a little weight this time, not too much and not too fast. Good Luck.

What is the recommended weight for a preatal weight based on prepregnancy weight?

Do you mean postnatal? (after you've had the baby) if so then here is a quote from Mayo clinic: "Most women lose more than 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms) during childbirth, including the weight of the baby, placenta and amniotic fluid. During the first week after delivery, you'll lose additional weight as you shed retained fluids --- but the fat stored during pregnancy won't disappear on its own. Through diet and exercise, it's reasonable to lose up to 1 pound (0.5 kilogram) a week. It might take six months or even longer to return to your pre-pregnancy weight, whether you're breastfeeding or not. Even then, your weight might be distributed differently from how it was before pregnancy. Be gentle with yourself as you accept the changes in your body. Above all, take pride in your healthy lifestyle."
