Question

I am 15 weeks 3rd pregnancy and already gained 15 pounds. I want to lose weight and firm up but not sure where to even begin. I was not overweight to start with.. any tips , exercises I can do I want to firm up for sure. thanks in advance

Answer

Stop worrying about it, now is not the right time. 15lbs is nothing. If you want to watch your weight gain just go for extra walks and do some swimming. Now is not the time to take up strenuous exercise.

Answer

I would definitely talk to a trainer who specializes with prenatal women. Start slow if you weren’t active prior. Some great exercises are barre or spin classes along with power walking. Also do light weights with higher reps. 
Always best to talk to your doctor too.

Answer

Speak to your doctor, but I’m betting they will say that you can’t diet for the specific result of weight loss during pregnancy. You can watch what you eat and make sure you are walking every day for at least 30 mins. Calorie wise my doc has me eating between 1400-1500 cals a day. (19 w 5d over here) You only need like 100 extra calories a day per trimester.  I have an awful relationship with food that often leads to disordered eating so we aren’t discussing weight or the actual number on the scale. The only focus is on caloric intake and 30 mins a day of walking, plus my prenatal yoga class once a week.
