WASHINGTON Pounds can become an obsession during pregnancy, but they should be a concern before conception. Obesity increases women's risk of miscarriage and other serious, even life-threatening, complications.

Dieting during pregnancy is a big no-no _ it can harm the baby.

With obesity on the rise, new guidelines urge obstetricians and gynecologists to bring up the long-taboo subject before their patients ever become pregnant, and to take special steps when mothers-to-be are too overweight.

Among those steps: Nutritional counseling so they don't gain too much during pregnancy; earlier-than-normal testing for gestational diabetes; and consulting with an anesthesiologist about safe sedation well before the due date, in case an emergency Caesarean section is needed.

If there's ever a time women are going to improve their own health habits, it's during pregnancy, notes Dr. Laura Riley of Massachusetts General Hospital, who co-authored the guidelines published this month by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Mothers-to-be are keenly aware that everything entering their bodies can go straight to their developing babies.
