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
So my weight is 140lbs. My pre pregnancy weight was 135. I lost 3 pounds due to not eating a lot for 2 weeks during pregnancy! So I've gained 7 pounds. And I'm only 5 pounds up from where I started at 21 weeks!
Ok so not using actual numbers.. But everyone knows I'm over weight since having my girls. It's no secret. BUT i was talking with my hubby last night and idk how we got to this but he said something like (not using actual numbers) no one should weigh 800lbs, they should take care of themselves. And i said so what if someone weighs 800lbs? He said no one should weigh that, they should be healthier. I said well i almost weigh 800! I'm in the 790s. And I'm healthy. I may be overweight but i don't h...
just thinking about weight loss. once I have my baby I would like to lose 100 lbs. I was already over weight before I got pregnant so I'm not blaming it on my baby. pre pregnancy i was 235lbs and my height is 5'4...now at 35 weeks pregnant I'm 243lbs...my goal weight is between 130 and 150 😮😮
How much weight did you gain during your pregnancy ladies? 🤔
I've gained over 50 pounds so far 😔
I'm so skinny I hate it!!
Has anyone lost a lot of weight while breastfeeding?? My pre pregnancy weight was 115lbs I'm 4 months pp I EBF and currently weight 105lbs. I get so hungry all day. I eat more than my husband sometimes. he always tells me "how the heck do you fit all that in your belly". I have no idea what is going on but I'm starting to look sick, I feel extremely uncomfortable with my weight and my jeans just fall off. Is this normal? I'm getting worried. I've considered stopping b...
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! :)
