hi everyone - just wondered if anyone had any views or expericnce of starting exercise and dieting in 1st tri.. In my last pregnancy i put on 5 stone which i do not want to do again this time.
I joined a gym a few weeks ago and went for my induction today.. the plan they have come up with for me is as follows and i just wanted some opinions really and to double check it is ok to go ahead with this...
i have not been doing any excersize up to now and so the instructor said i have to start very gradually with 15 min walk and 15 min recline cycle just once a week.... also swim once a week (i have already been doing this) and aquasize class once a week... so that will be 3 gentle forms of excerise a week for 6 weeks and then review it....
regarding diet / calories i read in mother and baby magazine that contrary to popular belief you do not need extra calories until the 3rd tri at which point it is only an extra 200 to 300 cals a day.
i am quite looking forward to getting a bit fitter for this pregnancy and i have heard it helps...
any tips or advice appreciated....
