I weigh over 300 pounds and had gestational diabetes during my last pregnancy which resulted in a miscarriage at almost 20 weeks gestation even though I lost weight. I am now 16 weeks pregnant, have gestational diabetes again, and I am now terrified of following the 2200 calorie diet, for fear that I will lose weight and hurt the baby. Are 2200 calories enough for a woman my size? Could losing weight have caused my baby to die?
