Do you guys exercise while you are pregnant? If so, what is the best things that I can do to stay healthy? I have been having cravings for really unhealthy foods and want to make sure that I do not gain a lot of weight and have a unhealthy pregnancy.
What should I do to stay fit? I thought about trying to find a healthy diet plan online, but I don't know where to go that is just for pregnant people. I have always heard that we cannot diet the way non-pregnant people do.
I just want to stay healthy for both myself and the baby.
i did swim, aqua natel is fab! but now college takes over those nights, so then i started to use my ex bike, now i have to stop that too coz of my hips, so i think i will balloon loads now
Both my OBGYN and my chiropractor told me that walking is one of the best things when you are pregnant. It is low impact and it strengthens your back. I'm thinking about taking a prenatal yoga class as well.
As far as dieting goes, you need to be getting 80-100 grams of protein a day, and then from there add in fruits and veggies. If you get cravings, have a bite, not the whole box. (That's usually me! )
as long as u avoid most junk foods and try to eat as healthy as possible i admit i have a sweet tooth at times ---but not nearly as much as i did before getting pregnant--so i kinda cant take more than a few bites of sweets and as far as the working out goes== walking is easiest and even if u cant really get into a workout routine-- try parking the car further away or if ur in college park at one end of campus and walk to the other and you're basically guaranteed about a half hour or more of a workout that way if u still feel u havent done enough take a nice evening walk--- after the sun has started to go down so u arent walking in direct heat ===but as it is getting cooler out take ur walk whenever u can squeeze it in and its comfortable outside even 10 min at a time counts and when its too cold walk around the mall or a big grocery store or department store
personally when i feel the need i just get up and go to like meijers or krogers just to walk around ---and yes i'll admit i eat in the store--lol they can see that i';m pregnant so i will go ahead and eat.. as long as i'm paying for it who cares right--- come on u guys confess it we've all done it right---
and dont worry about ur weight too much try to stick to the chart that they give u of like the average weight gains per week or month and u should b fine---even if u start out with a bigger weight gain in the begining u can always slow it down by watching what u eat a lil more- and if all else fails just walk around and think about what u can do after the baby is born
oh and there are some really good prenatal workout videos out there-- i like fit mama's prenatal workout (even though i only did it for like a week)--but experiment with them till u find one u like
just try to avoid sugary foods and if you have cravings for something sweet you can opt for a musli bar or flapjack with honey instead of sugar, as well sweet fruits will do
lol

so I walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes as much as possible!
