Can you lose weight while pregnant ?

Question

I was starting to exercise before I found out I was pregnant 🤰🏻 I feel like I wanna keep exercising and start to eat healthier I’m just not sure if it will make a difference while pregnant? I was doing Insanity Workout. I mean I’ve exercised before and I like running 🏃🏻‍♀️ and stuff. Will cardio be bad for me ? If I start again especially since Insanity is a little intense. Have any of you lost weight by exercising and eating healthier while pregnant? Let me know please

Answer

I wouldn’t do a workout that intense but some light exercise and a healthy diet is never a bad thing

Answer

Talk to your dr about this. 
I lost Weight with both of my pregnancies,   However it happened by itself and I wasn't actively trying to lose weight or dieting. 
 My doctor  Told me any physical activity that you were used to doing prior to getting pregnant should be fine and your body will let you know if it's not fine. I work in a warehouse and we sell tile lol I was uses to walking my entire shift and consistently throughout the day lifting and carrying over 50 lbs. I was able  To maintain my regular job until I was about 34 weeks and then I went to computer work

Answer

I don’t think a doctor would advise actively trying to lose weight while pregnant. Some people don’t gain much or they’ll lose weight without trying though. Usually women can continue working out like they did pre-pregnancy. But you need to talk to a doctor about it

Answer

AAK YOUR DOCTOR. 
Thats literally what theyre there for.

Answer

Anything you’re already accustom to before you’re pregnant is fine to continue in your pregnancy as long as it still feels good. Eventually you’ll have to dial it back because you just won’t have the stamina anymore.

Answer

If your intention is to lose weight while pregnant, I wouldn't get pregnant. Healthy diet and moderate exercise should be a part of everyone's routine. I certainly don't think picking up an insanity workout during pregnancy is a good idea. Workouts during pregnancy shouldn't leave you gasping for air. In my first trimester, I worked out as I normally would and listened to my body. If something didn't feel good, I didn't do it. As my second trimester progressed, the heat made exercising so difficult. Like horribly difficult. I still worked out as much as I could though. Now in my third trimester, everything is harder. 
I have never been overweight in my life and I figured I wouldn't gain much. I'm 30 weeks and I've gained 30 lbs. It's shocking to me. Do not go into a pregnancy hoping to lose weight.

Answer

I would say why not keep exercising and yes eat healthy but I would  do a different work out routine. But if u want to keep doing that ask ur ob

Answer

I’m wanting to do this. I find it hard finding time throughout the day to get up and workout but in the morning I always wake up at 5:55 (my bodies internal clock for some reason) and so during that time I’d like to go for a walk since I have 2 hours of that time of freedom and it’s cooler in the morning :) I do want to start eating healthier as well. I’ve only been drinking water and that helps my cravings a lot! I’m not going to be doing intense workouts as my body is growing a baby and I get winded very easily haha.

Answer

You can eat healthy and exercise for a different purpose than losing weight, which is the health of your baby. You should do lighter exercise though. But overall it's never a good idea to go on a diet to lose weight when you're pregnant.

Answer

Do you have a Beachbody account? If so, look Elise Joan's pre-and-post natal barre workouts. Or modify Barre Blend. They're fantastic workouts. The PPN workouts are lower intensity, but from what I've heard from people currently doing them, they still kick your butt.
