gym while pregnant??

Question

slightly overweight, not trying to lose weight just trying to overall be healthier and maintain my weight. i only wanna gain 10-15 pounds during pregnancy. started at 165 dropped to 160 cause severe morning sickness. so my goal weight when i give birth would only be around 170-175.

Answer

this is a conversation you should have with your doctor, they might disagree with how much you want to gain

Answer

If you were working out prior to pregnancy it’s usually safe to continue. But if you were not, it’s not recommended to start. Walking is usually safe though. Talk to your ob about your concerns about weight gain. Keeping to a healthy diet will help you the best but don’t try to limit your calories.

Answer

I am in the same boat as you. I started out at 154 (BMI of 25.6) I have been about 25lbs heavier than my typical weight for the past 2 years. In my past pregnancies I have gained 50+ lbs each time. I really didn’t want to gain 50lbs on top of the extra 25lbs I am carrying around. I talked to my dr and she agreed that 15lbs was an appropriate weight gain goal. I am 30 weeks and have gained 11lbs (all in the first 4months prior to my healthy lifestyle changes). I basically eat a whole food diet (no processed food, no dairy) and walk on the treadmill for 45-90 minutes a day. I feel amazing this pregnancy! My healthy diet and activity level has allowed me to have minimal pregnancy symptoms and I really think that I am going to finish this pregnancy with only a 15lb gain! I’m so proud of myself... you should totally stick to your goal!! The healthier you are, the healthier baby is! You can do it!
