Im not underweight and still have weight to lose, but I dropped about 4lbs in a couple of days due to the sickness but it seems to be staying the same now. No idea how, there is no calories in water and thats about the only thing staying in, apart from the few bits of calories between eating and being sick! lol

 

[mummy3]

4lbs in a couple of days is a lot!!
I'm 2lb in a week, it's just scary to see the scale go down and not up.

 

[new_to_ttc]

Im not too worried, I have plenty of weight I can offord to lose lol Im going to see a personal trainer about a healthy way to keep dieting and exercising through pregnancy. I dont want to put all the weight back on I just lost, its taken me ages to get to where I am lol

That sounds like a great plan!

You ladies are already talking about what I was wondering . . crazy!

I've lost 3 lbs and have not gotten sick, just queezy a few times. I was wonder what you all are doing for exercise. I workout every (weekday) morning, and noticed I become winded much easier, and warmer faster. I may need to step it down a notch . . I know walking is good, but I'm afraid I will get so bored . .

 

[new_to_ttc]

Ive stopped all exercise because what I was doing was extremem tummy exercise sooooo will book a private appointment and see whats safe. For peace of mind mind might hault all gym exercises for 1st trimester!

 

[mummy3]

Walking and swimming are great exercises, I'm pretty sure situps are safe until week 20 (they were last time I was preg)

I get some walking in and I breastfeed which is a great abdominal workout
Also these newer things like yoga and pilates, but I dont know how they work!?

 

[new_to_ttc]

I walk and run on the tredmill.. I dont know Imjust really paranoid because after a work out Im dead lolol and I really dont want to risk my little bean. 6 weeks without exercise will not do my any harm... well will speak to MW but I think I'll still be too paranoid lol

 

[meow951]

You can carry on exercising but i read somewhere that you shouldn't get too hot as baby can't regulate its temperature and you shouldn't let your heartrate go over a certain number.

I'd ask your gp or have a look on the net and see what it says.

I just started a work-out routine with my SIL a day before I got my BFP, lol. We're both out of shape so we're just walking around or doing some light stretching. To keep the walking interesting, we bring my dog and let him off-leash at the park... it feels like we're just out watching him have fun, not working out. I'm not worried about any of it hurting the baby and figure it will only do good for both of us. However, I am noticing I get hot a lot faster. I had been losing some weight in my 2ww.. 8lbs total (I'm overweight, so its not unusual for my weight to fluctuate a lot day-to-day depending on what I've eaten or if I'm retaining water etc).
I gained 3lbs back as of 5 days ago, but am back down now.

My friend who is overweight, gained only 15lbs her whole pregnancy due to morning sickness etc... she and baby are perfectly fine... I had another friend who was down 10lbs by the end of her pregnancy (she was very overweight) from morning sickness too.
My understanding is that it can actually be healthier for an overweight woman to lose a few lbs or gain only a few etc.

My sister lost weight with all her pregnancies! I guess Im just overly cautious lolol Of course walking etc I do, and my job is quite physical I just dont want to do something wrong at the gym or in my usual work out! I think getting a personal trainer to set me a new work out will be best, the one in the next town specially deals with pregnant ladies

I would totally get a trainer if I could afford to. I think it helps being so out of shape anyway as it keeps me from doing anything that would be considered 'overdoing it' Maybe I'll do a session or two of pregnancy yoga later on... or buy a video, lol

 

[MilosMommy7]

does every doctor do a blood test? i didnt have an OB until 12w with my son so i've never had a super early appt like this one will be at 6w. they mentioned a scan but not anything about a blood test. or does it just depend on the doctor?

 

[new_to_ttc]

hehe I wont be telling my DP how much she charges - I wouldnt train with her, but she offers single sessions to build exercise routines for people so be good to get the 2 hour session, she'll tell me the best diet and exercise to try which I can then use at my regular gym

 

[new_to_ttc]

Our doctors dont offer blood tests, but the early pregnancy team do if you are referred for early care, Im in UK.

 

[mummy3]

Most docs wont offer early blood tests unless theres a reason, ie risk of ectopic, previous mc.

I usually gain a lot of weight while preg, like 3-4 stone This time im starting at 8 1/2 stone at 5 foot 10 (hyperthyroid) so its scary! Will ask the ob on tuesday.

Lisa, the dog walking is pretty much what we do, take our pup to the daily dog meet, she just barfed all over the carpet tho so don't know if thats on tonight

 

[lisaf]

I bet my DH would pay for a consultation for me to get a routine set-up. But I opted not to join a gym since I usually waste my money and don't go.. meanwhile I live in such a beautiful place with gorgeous weather most of the year. My work-out partner is a bit of a flake so far as she has a lot of pain/emotional issues (my SIL) so I especially didn't want to join a gym with her and then have to go on my own.

I do love watching my dog play with the other dogs. He's just over a year old and just now started lifting his leg to pee.. its so cute!! hee hee
I have a Bichon and I love that we socialized him to play with the big dogs.. he doesn't know how small he is, and strategically ducks between people's legs to gain the advantage.

Evenin' girls!

24/7 ~ With my last 2 pregnancies and this one, I get sickly from about week 4.

New to TTC ~ Re NHS ~ I know right? I'm originally from the UK, lived over here 3 years now .. makes me sick how much we fork out in medical. For Buttons birth to was about $20,000. The insurance knocked that down to about $10G, then we had to pay 10% of that, so not bad really if you think about it, but it don't half make me miss the NHS at home. People bitch and whine, but let them come give birth over here haha.
(Our plan is they pay 90%, we pay 10%) and we part with $300 a month medical insurance, and hubbys company pays the other $300. INSANE!

Mummy3 ~ re weight, since my emergency surgery on the 27th July, I've lost 18lbs (I basically was too sick to eat for a week and the just have been right off food) since I've found out I'm pregnant I've lost another 3lbs, cause now I REALLY can't face food lol. I'm back down to my pre-pregnancy weight now, just in time to put it all back on! haha

Ok I have an 11 month old screaming at me for her bath. gah!

 

[mummy3]

Tonnilou, yay for tight trousers, nothing like an uncomfortable symptom to make this more real!

Chaos, my little girl has recently taken up very loud shouting, mainly for juice, very cute
