PREGNANT AND FAT...

Hi Guys,

Looks like everyone has gone quiet well. My name is niki I am 23 weeks pregnant and weigh 18 stone. I have put on a stone since I have found out I am pregnant. However I am trying the hole eating healthy thing ignoring my cravings and trying to do the best by my baby. Does anyone have any advise and how are you coping with being pregnant and overweight?

Thanks Nikix

    I wish you the best of luck, I did horrible my first pregnancy and want to do better this round. I read alot of research and found out loosing weight is actually safe for baby. There is a study out of St. Louis that actually reduced risk of issues with everyone being on 30 minutes of excercise and 2000 calories. The disclaimer is you have to be overweight to start with. I don't know what your situation is, but worth a read.
