Losing the pregnancy weight!

xmarye

Hi everybody, my name is Marie and I'm 23 years old. I have a 2 years old daughter and I'm almost 37 weeks pregnant with baby boy. I was in my best shape before I got pregnant the first time, running and lifting weights at 130lbs. I gained 65lbs while pregnant with my DD and lost 45lbs. Then I got pregnant again with my DS and gained 40lbs, so far! I'm pretty pleased since I didn't gain as much weight as the first time, and also because I've been through this before and I feel like the second time around I know more what to expect and how to bounce back.

I am not currently logging anything, as I don't want to restrict myself until my baby is born, nor do I exercise since I don't want to accidentally induce labor before its time! I am simply preparing my come back, trying to make friends and seeking inspiration until I can finally start this exciting journey once again!

I would like to meet some young moms trying to lose the pregnancy weight so that we can do it together en encourage eachother along the way

If you don't have a specific medical concern, you should be able to exercise while pregnant. I did a lot of walking during my last pregnancy. But, of course, follow your doctor's advice.

at 37 weeks she probably just want to get some rest lol

although walking is great preparation for labour and giving birth x

I've had high risk pregnancies, and I'm not taking walks as per my doctors request! I really crave going for a walk!
