babyhopes10 your midwife will advise you regarding weight loss whilst preg. I know slimming world allows it's members to carry on with their plan whilst preg and breastfeeding. Im planning to join a gym to do the likes of swimming and yoga. I want to strengthen my muscles.

4 years ago, I was on a placement with a wonderful Obstetrician and she had the care of a few ladies who were actively encouraged to lose weight healthily whilst pg. However, their BMIs were extremely high.

My BMI is obese at 30 at the moment, so Im hoping that I can still pursue some weight loss in the first trimester purely for the sake of my little poplet. I lost 3 stones earlier this year for TTC and although Im freaking out about how enormous Im going to get, I just want to be healthy. I am scared my MW is going to shout at me at my first appt for being obese

My moods have gone mad. Had huge row with DH last night and a couple of times this week at stupid things he said to me. Today in work, Im getting irritated beyond belief...almost to the extent I have to walk out of the room before I say something!

Nausea has well and truly hit in at the moment. I cannot bear the thought of anything to eat!!!

 

[DragonMummy]

@Mrs Pop - I'm losing a little bit anyway as I'm not really eating that much. But I am going to try and start swimming once a week then eventually an antinatal swimming or exercise class.

 

[MrsPOP]

@DragonMummy. I dont know about the hospital you'll be delivering in but my one runs a 6 weeks Antenatal Yoga class, so maybe your MW can give you advice on accessing that!

I really want to do Aquanatal classes but they're all in the daytime and I work Mon-Fri (and some weekends) boo.

 

[DragonMummy]

our leisure centre does day and evening classes which is good- it's called "Dunk Your Bump"

 

[freckles09]

LOL at 'dunk your bump'! Love it!

I want to start swimming at least once a week but the aquanatal sessions sound fun - i'll have to see if my local leisure centre run something like that!

I'm too scared to do any excercise aside from walking. Too many things that could go wrong for me at the mo!

Maybe I'll become more active if I make it to the 2nd tri this time

 

[dan-o]

I'm 26 and this is my 3rd baby.

I'm really trying to watch what I eat and not go over board. I had High blood pressure with my first pregnancy and it caused me to have to deliver early. THe Dr. say it was probably becuase of all the weight I put on. I went crazy with the "I'm pregnant" kind of eating and just became a complete pig! My sec pregnancy I did much better because I was so scared. But I was also so very sick that whole pregnancy. It was twins and we lost one but all the changes in hormones really did a number on me. I lost 15 lbs the first couple weeks. And I really couldn't go crazy with food because my body wouldn't let me. I've been going to the gym for about 2 months now and noticed a change in my body but the scale is still going up. I'm super bloated though. Just gonna keep walking and going to the gym. I think I'm going to look into the swimming classes.

I'm 27, first baby.

I'm not sure what to do about exercise really - I have a gym membership but because of illness/being busy, I didn't go in my 2ww. Since I found out, I've been too worried to go. I asked my GP and he said don't run and don't do 'extreme' activities, but moderate activity would be ok .... however, no 'formal' exercise until my 12 week scan wouldn't do any harm and the worry of thinking 'is this too strenuous?' etc would be a bad thing. So, i've no idea what to do really???

Also wondered about morning sickness - I am not someone who is ever sick (not since being a toddler!) and I don't know if what I'm thinking is nausea is nausea, iykwim? My glands in my throat seem tight and lumpy every so often, and I feel like my head's spinning. Anyone else feeling like this?

 

[JCsquaredd]

I'm 24 and pregnant with my first! I'll be 25 when my little one comes.

I haven't seen an OB yet but my doctor said that I haven't any exercise restrictions, just to remember that I'm hydrating for two. Ive been nervous about working out but at the same time I want my body to be healthy for my baby to grow. I've been using my elliptical, just on a lower resistance and slower speed.

 

[jojosmami]

I asked my OBGYN about the excerise and she said to try not to get your heart rate above 160 and no sit ups or heavy weight lifting. But other than that everything is ok. But, I guess its different for every woman. I have had many dizzy spells but nothing with my throat CatMum.

 

[fifi-folle]

I'm 30 (31 next month) DH 33, first baby, 5th pregnancy.

 

[Doodlepants]

Wow sooo busy on here, really lovely to see so many of us due in July!

@Raz- funnily enough I got my first grey hair when I was pregnant with my daughter- at 21!!! Its the worrying I'm sure of it! My hairdresser couldn't believe it!

I'm still getting stomach cramps- the pain woke me up the other night - I have had severe IBS since I was a teenager so at least thats whats causing the cramps.... still hurts though! Does anyone else feel sometimes like they've done 100 sit ups? I never had this with Holly, not that I noticed anyway!

Still no call from the midwife..... was hoping she would have called by now just to book an appointment......

In answer to the age Q- I'm 24 and will be 25 when the baby gets here

Cant wait to see some scan piccys!

I've been doing the same. I'm a little nervous to run on the Tredmill. I think I'll try the stair stepping machine too. I kept my heart rate around 145-155 and I think that;s better for weight loss anyway right?

 

[pinktrifle]
