Is it ok to lose weight while pregnant?

Question

I’m not looking to lose a lot of weight. I am overweight (211lbs) and want to eat healthier and do light exercise. Also, I am only 5 weeks so it’s still pretty early. Thanks in advance.

Answer

Yes absolutely! Just make sure you're doing it a healthy way. So no crash diets or restricting your calories and don't push yourself too hard when exercising. Any exercise you can do comfortably is safe, but walking is an easy one. I started at 230 and I'm now 23 weeks and 210 and my midwife is very happy that I'm losing weight in a healthy way

Answer

As long as it’s not more than 10% less of your starting weight

Answer

I don’t think you’ll even have to try to be honest, I lost 18+ pounds my first trimester (i was slightly overweight before). 😂

Answer

If you didn’t work out before pregnancy than talk to your doctor about what you can do.
