NHS weight management scheme, encouraging pregnant women to shed-some-pounds, could save the health service money

Have you got children? Can you remember how much weight you gained when you got pregnant? Well it's always difficult to shed-the-pounds at the best of times, but imagine being told you have to lose weight whilst carrying a baby inside you. This is what's happening in Wakefield, where obesity rates are so high that it's one of the worst places in the whole country with 69% of the city's population carrying excess weight and 27% considered obese. The scheme we're focusing on today is one that's trying to make a difference called 'Shape Your Pregnancy'. Our reporter Tracy Gee's been out to speak to two mums who've signed-up. Both of them believe this NHS weight management scheme could help save the health service money in the longterm. #Wakefield #NHS #pregnancy
