Is it safe to lose weight while pregnant? I am slightly overweight and just want to change my diet completely. No cutting calories, just healthy diet. And zumba which I started long before pregnancy. Thoughts?

Question

pregnancy. Thoughts?" />

Answer

Eating healthy is encouraged. If you were doing Zumba prior to pregnancy it should be fine, just run it by your doctor. You should never TRY to lose weight while pregnant, but it happens to many women anyway. I lost 7 pounds by 17 weeks before I started gaining, my doctor was not concerned.

Answer

Healthy diet and zumba is totally fine :) perfect actually

Answer

It’s not safe to actively try to lose weight while pregnant unless you’re doing it with guidance from an actual ObGyn.
You’re fine to continue whatever activities you were doing before pregnancy (Zumba, in your case) but you should not introduce new exercise without consulting your doctor. Eating healthy is never a bad thing, but restricting your calories without consulting a doctor is not a good idea.

Answer

My doctors explicitly told me to stop trying to lose weight as soon as I was pregnant. I would consult a doctor before any major changes. Eating healthy is always good though.

Answer

Eating healthy is absolutely fine! 
I've followed slimming world throughout mine; I started a month before I found out I was pregnant & continued during my pregnancy as it's pregnancy friendly!  I'm currently coming up for 35 weeks with Di/Di twin girls and I've gained only 15lbs! The weight has literally only came with the last 6/7 weeks as well. I give in to all of my cravings & ive ate enough McDonald's to feed a village! 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 I'll continue following this healthy lifestyle after my girls are here too! This pregnancy I've not been sick, I've actually had no symptoms, I've felt amazing & I feel the best I've ever felt about myself; compared to my sons pregnancy back in 2015 this one is a dream! Ask your doctor or midwife for more info on healthy eating during pregnancy as they'll have loads of advice and likely encourage it! ☺️✨

Answer

Eating healthy is the best thing to do in pregnancy. If you’re eating badly now then yes, you may lose a little weight by doing this. So long as you get enough calories and you don’t cut out food groups, you will be fine. Eating healthy is best for you and a foetus x

I lost weight from morning sickness me they didn’t seemed worried. Just be healthy and should be fine

Answer

My doc said to try and maintain and only gain 10-15 lbs the whole pregnancy. Thanks to food aversions most nights I’m actually down 10 lbs at 11 weeks. I’m not trying to lose weight but most of the time I have no appetite at all
