Pregnancy Diet First Trimester
Can I diet and exersize to stay the same weight throughout my pregnancy?
Ok, first off, I’m 26 years old and I’m a little over 50 pounds overweight. I have gained all my weight from my previous 2 pregnancies, and I’m bound and determined to lose this weight. However, I am in my second trimester of my third pregnancy. My question is, is it ok to diet and stay the SAME weight throughout my entire pregnancy (though healthy eating and exersizing… i’m aware that I have to eat 300 calories more for the baby.) to lose weight so I’m 20 pounds lighter after the baby ??? Is this even possible to do and still remain healthy? Thanks!
~~Please refrain from being rude ~~
This is a question you need to ask your doctor. It’s never recommended to try to lose weight while pregnant, because the baby needs a lot of nutrients that he/she can only get from you. If you have been exercising before and during this pregnancy, it is usually fine to continue. Just because you’re pregnant does not mean you have to stop your routine. Just go easy on anything that jolts you or your joints, since the extra fluids build up around them. A treadmill or stationary bike would be great, you don’t want anything that pulls on the abdominal muscles too much. You should expect and be encouraged to put on about 15 pounds during your complete pregnancy. But as I said, before you start reducing your calories or changing your diet or fitness routine, consult with your doctor. He/she will be the only one who knows your situation well enough to advise you. Best of luck!
