    This is very smart and responsible of you. You're already being a good Mommy :))
    I didn't get healthy before I got pregnant, and because of that, I had a pretty risky pregnancy. I had high blood pressure throughout and had to take several pills a day to keep it down. My doctor also recommended that I have a c-section because of the blood pressure. I was a nervous wreck the entire pregnancy and felt guilty for planning a pregnancy and not realizing that my health would also impact my child's. Thankfully, I started getting smart about what I ate and ended up losing 30 pounds while I was pregnant! (The constant morning sickness helped a little too :)) So far, I am down 70 pounds and going strong. I plan on having another baby in a few years, but not until I am at a healthy weight!

    that is one of the main reasons I really started watching what I ate and exercising. My husband and I have a 10 year old and a 7 year old and we are ready to add a third to our bunch. But I want to be down in weight so that I won't have so much to lose after the pregnancy. I also want to continue working out (as much as possible anyway) while I am pregnant. Good luck to you on your weight loss journey and on the planning to conceive. Add me if you like. :)

    You don't have to gain a lot! I have 3 kids. My oldest (a son) was 9lbs 6oz and my second son was 10lbs!! My daughter was our little peanut :smile: 7lbs 12oz. I never gained more than 30 lbs! You don't have to eat crap just because you're preg. Good attitude! Eat healthy (for you and baby) and keep moving. Won't have a ton of extra to lose and your recovery will be faster and easier. Breastfeeding also really helps your body bounce back!! I HIGHLY recommended it!!! Good luck to all!! Motherhood is the best thing I have ever done!! :flowerforyou:




    I am commenting on the post about not wanting to gain a lot during preg. I hit quote but if didn't quote. Oh well :tongue:
