Hi! I'm looking for some motivation and good advice from any pregnant mamas trying to stay fit and healthy!!! I'm 17 weeks on Wednesday and want to get back into a workout plan and healthy eating regimen. Any tips or advice!? Pregnancy cravings and hormones sure don't make it easy!!!

    I'm 2.5mo postpartum but while pregnant I did a lot of walking and stretching (yoga). With stretching or yoga you have to be careful since you'll think you can do more than you really can but I found it really helped. My doctor also told me to keep eating like I was until halfway through the second trimester where she said to just add 1 snack or 100kcal a day.

    Personally I didn't gain anything until I was put on bed rest for the lasts trimester. I know it's said a lot but talk with your OBGYN on how to lose/maintain your weight while pregnant. Mine helped me a lot and the only reason I gained is I gave into cravings while on bed rest but I only gained 30lbs total.

    Good luck and congratulations!

    I just started a group if you guys are interested in joining. I didn't see anything recent specifically for pregnancy but I am kinda new to the forums and didn't feel like looking forever ;)
    It is called: "Soon to be Mama's"
