A weighty issue

[Steelgoddess]

Before I was preggo I was doing ww and then realised all the weeks I was there i was pregnant lmao!

Now im preggo again but worried about putting on too much weight to cope with is there anyway i can lose weight whilst preggo?

A lot of women lose a bit of weight in the 1st tri anyway due to nausea/sickness etc, but I don't know about dieting. However as long as you eat a varied healthy diet (and don't eat for 2 it's a myth!) you should only gain the weight necessary for healthy mum and baby.

My first pg I ate whatever I wanted and really paid for it after my little boy was born, it took a long time to lose the excess weight, but now I have a pretty healthy diet which I am gonna stick to throughout this pg.

Sharne honey please do not try to loose weight whilst pregnant, its not safe. You need to gain weight and just think your body is supporting 2 lives not just the one. I have put on 1 stone already which is loads but i think of it as the only time in my life when it doesnt matter! I can loose it afterwards. Last time with DD i put on 3 and a bit stone. Its not fat its baby is my motto!

Look after yourself and eat healthily but remember that you need to gain weight. There extra blood, bigger boobs, bigger uterus, weight of baby, weight of water and the joy of fluid retention too.

I've not put a single ounce on yet. It's started to worry me but I know it's normal in the first trimester

I put on 4 stone with James due to eating like a pig. I ate junk!
This time I'm trying to eat healthily, eat when I want but try to pick healthy stuff. (she says eating jaffa cakes!)

Jaffa cakes are one of the healthiest biscuits you can eat, there is very little fat in them, so don't feel guilty

 

[muppetmummy]

I bet there's quite a bit of fat when you eat the whole packet!

You cannot eat just one tho, you have to eat the whole lot! Its the law.....
