Dear fellow mommies or preggies,
I gained a lot of weight in my early pregnancy, before I even knew I was pregnant. And I've honestly been scared to diet to loose it. So I've stayed that weight, and soon I'll be at my third trimester. I'm trying to realistically think about postpartum, when I want to get my body back how hard that'll be considering I'm eating pure crap and not exercising at all. I feel like such a bad mom for not being healthy!!
Any tips on weight control / mild diet during pregnancy? I'm not trying to loose a ton of weight as I know that's dangerous during pregnancy. I want to do this as safe as possible!! But I'd like to shed a few pounds just because my BMI is so high and I feel so out of shape. I wanna be better prepared physically for labor and taking care of a newborn! I don't think it's too late to turn things around.
There are a couple groups. @erinflaherty818, @booboosmommy, @jordyn_beth, @mamabird.n.babybird, @lexishai all have various health groups
Okay great!!! Thanks for the insight guys! My mom is a doula and a training midwife so I get lectures all the time. But sometimes it's just nice to have more insight from a crowd on shared experience.
@avie, @amouryaya09,
Like @amouryaya09, said. Up your water intake. If you're really trying to cleanse everything that the "bad food" left behind. It'll also help with swelling inside and outside of your pregnant body. Also try and start eating more veggies. When I was pregnant and went on a junk binge I'd have a plate packed full of veggies and a little fruit two hours before bed time, loading up on fiber. High fiber foods are great for pregnancy and they fill you up as well. I'm doing a mombassador chat in the app (this Tuesday) on fitness and wellness during pregnancy and postpartum. Definitely check it out & ask me some questions there ☺️
I was the same way. I had diabetes so I ate veggies and meat all the time and walked a lot. Also drink a ton of water. I only gained about 14 lbs and lost 30 once I had my son. Your diet helps a lot
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
Hi! Like you, I gained a crap ton with my first two babies and by the third, I knew I had to be smarter about my pregnancy. Its definitely not too late to turn it around! Message me if you'd like to try one of the free groups I run! :)
