Is it safe to lose weight??

Question

I had my first  pregnancy checkup yesterday. I'm 7 and a half weeks. I was told that my BMI is high. Is it safe if I lose weight while pregnant. If so what are some healthy ways to do so??

Answer

No. Pregnancy is not the time to lose wait. Eat properly and exercise at least 30 minutes/day. 
6 weeks after birth, join one of those stroller mamma clubs and get fit then.

Answer

I'm thinking the same thing!!

Answer

Here is what I found...it looks like they recommend not increasing your calories during the first trimester at all and then only increasing by 300 calories daily after that. This study suggestions you should try to gain 0-11 lbs if you are obese. My BMI is 36 so that will be my goal! :)

Answer

Nope, usually they say to not try to LOSE weight during pregnancy, just to eat healthy and stay active to limit how much you gain

Answer

I know they say not to lose weight on purpose when you're pregnant, but just by eating healthier I lost a few pounds early on. Ask your dr what he/she recommends.

Answer

No. Just do not gain more than u should. It's only 9 months after that u can do whatever.

Answer

You should talk to your doctor but if you start eating healthy and eliminating processed foods and sugar then you may naturally lose weight or at least won't gain any unnecessary weight. I was in the middle of whole30 when I found out I was pregnant and I will probably maintain whole30 type eating for the duration of my pregnancy.
