i know its recomended for pregnant moms to eat healthy, fruit , veg , fat and carbs, i sure you midwife can help with a pregnancy "diet" i fully understand the worry i had to do the glouscose test with both my babies, but you can only do your best, good luck x

I recommend you follow the gestational diabetic diet even though you don't "have" it yet. It's full of healthy foods and good choices but lower in carbs which will keep your weight steady- and you may even lose.

That said... you shouldn't try to lose weight while pregnant. You need to just aim to gain only what's necessary to make a healthy baby and work on losing it afterward.

Hi all and thanks for all you replies.

I have spoken to my doc and am concentrating on eating mainly healthy food and walking or swimming a couple times a week. I didn't mean to imply that I wanted to go on a diet - just looking for some safe and healthy advice really. On my first pregnancy I ate totally healthier - didn't count any calories - and was 2stone lighter at the end than I was at the start....didn't go that way with my second. So I'll just do what I did then and enjoy the pregnancy. LOL for all the concern x x thanks!

I would say speak to the mw/gp about it. You can continue to eat healthy and exercise throughout, just dont try anything new and strenuous!. I am still running twice a week and going to zumba, will prob stop when i get too big!!!. Listen to your body and eat well. good luck.

Gestational diabeties is not determined by your weight it's how your body reacts to the hormones the placenta makes. If you are still worried then you should consult your doctor and go on a diabetic friendly diet to control your blood sugar, not lose weight.

There was a girl at the gym who workout thru her entire pregnancy - eat healthy and get some moderate exercise in... ask your doctor about what he/she recommends...
