August 2017, 2016, and 2012 💪🏼I hear so many people say "What's the point of losing weight/being in shape before getting pregnant? Why bother? I'm just gonna gain weight." It leads to a healthier pregnancy and yes, you do bounce back quicker.

Question

Answer

And just to add, I don't spend hours In the gym but I do make a active choice everyday to eat healthy and that's 80% of it. Muscle memory has helped my metabolism stay high along with proper hydration and eating well. I stayed semi active during pregnancy, nothing crazy...but continued to eat well but I also indulged just in moderation. Balance is key.

Answer

Wow, great job!! I don't know why people don't think being in shape before and during pregnancy is a good idea. You feel better and DEFINITELY bounce back quicker. I wasn't working out beforehand, but started when I found out I was pregnant (nothing crazy). I also didn't "eat for two". I ate what I needed but still treated myself occasionally. I had a super easy pregnancy and labor and a flat stomach by a week PP.

Answer

yup i still work on my health before during and after pregnancy

Answer

Nice job! 👏 Can I ask if you are breastfeeding? I was in really good shape pre-pregnancy & stayed active/healthy during, but I've been afraid to be too aggressive while EBF lest I destroy my milk supply....
