Healthy pregnancy weight?

Question

Ive gained about 40 pounds since i got married last year and for the first time ever I am overweight.  Im trying to lose now by eating better and adding exercise into my life.  I am also TTC.  Is it ok to continue to stick to a strict diet and exercise routine while pregnant and possibly lose fat?

Answer

My sister in law started running a couple of months before she got pregnant and ended up running a marathon while pregnant. (She found out right after the marathon) She is about 28 weeks pregnant and still running 30 miles a week and eating healthy! She says she still feels good while pregnant and her doctor said its ok as long as she doesn't push herself more than she can handle. I'm in the same boat! I gained 30 pounds since I got married last May and am trying to loose weight while ttc. I think it's ok to keep working out and eating healthy :)

Answer

I'm doing the same, I've put weight on since being with my partner. So I'm eating healthier and exercising, as long as you aren't to strict on yourself should be ok I've been told

Answer

They really don't want you losing weight while your pregnant. Some of the doctors I talked to said that it was okay to lose a little in the first trimester but then you have to gain some of it back during the rest of the pregnancy. The average sized person they said is supposed to gain between 30 to 40 pounds throughout their pregnancy. They tell people who are considered overweight to gain between 20 and 25 but no more than that. If you really want to lose weight I would try until I get a positive test and then ask your doctor their opinion.

Answer

Not while you're pregnant but certainly is fine before. Don't worry about it until you see that positive test! Good luck!
