[Layla]

hey guys

im not sure if anyone will know the answer to this, its prob a question for the doctor but i thought id ask anyway.

since the 19th i have been on a diet, i have lost 9lbs and 2 inches off my waist and hips so far.

is it ok for me to carry on doing this is im trying to conceive? i dont want to do anything this time round that might result in another misscarriage.

anyone know?

thanks

I really don't know Layla as I'm no expert. But I think the healthier you are the better when you're trying to conceive. Do you feel healthy following this diet? I used to be on diets many years ago and I never felt I was eating properly, I was exhausted all the time and lacking in vitamins & energy, not healthy.

So I would just make sure it's not a very low-calorie diet. I don't think it is affecting ovulation and conception but that's just me

Well done on losing weight btw

Sorry I can't be of any help

for the first two weeks im on a low fat low carbs diet, done one week, got another to do.

then i will start to introduce brown bread, sweet potatoes, brown pasta and brown rice, along with meats.

at the mo im only having chicken turky and fish with fruit veg and salad.

Im eating loads! i have always got something in my hand, wether it be a bit of friut, low fat yogert or a carrot, and last night it was a struggle to finsih my dinner........it was only salad with chicken!

jase is making me take vit tablets with added iron and minrals just ot be safe (he is a worrier!)

i feel really good, i feel clean inside if that makes any sence lol

Sounds like you're doing great Layla

You're eating plenty of variety and it's healthy I think you'll be fine.

You'll just need to cut down on the excercise (like you said).

I wouldn't worry about it.

Think Rach is right I mean dieting is eatting healthier & that can't do your bubba any harm I'm sure - As long as it's not a crash diet.

It was our first day of the slim fast plan yesterday - I'm so hungry

Sounds like your being perfactly healthy, so long as your diet is a diet of plenty so your not starving or depriving yourself of key vatamins and minerals, any little bean would greatly appreciate a good healthy diet. Plus with yhe excercise you will be fine at the mo, once your confirmed, you may have to give up the sparing, as any boucing up and down type thing like aerobics needs to be done on a sprung wodden floor to aviod muscle damage when the relaxin hormone kicks in. Its generaly advised that if you do sport prior to pregnancy your fine to continue, just dont do high impact stuff it your didnt before cause otherwise your body will struggle with the sudden exercise let alone the hormones. Plus aviod any exercise that buts a lot of stress on your stomach muscles when preggers, like rowing machine and sit ups as this can cause a king of hernia dur to relaxin hormones.
