My bf keeps on pushing me.

I was obese before I got pregnant. I work a lot and have pains. He's always pushing me to go for walks. I walk everywhere. We don't own a car. My doctor has told me not to go crazy with exercise. He won't listen it's driving me crazy. I lost 3lbs last month

I would just keep reminding him 'my doc says.. ' and hopefully he will get the point! As long as doc is happy with your progress, you and he should be too! Listen to your body and best of luck to you and your family!

Be careful,  again, do what u can, I walk but when I see I can't do it, I don't force myself to go on a walk, the only thing I do, is clean my house, and that's it, my husband does laundry and he helps me with the cleaning too

Take him to one of your appointments and let him hear it from your doc. I wouldn't give up walking, but if you are having pains then you should tone it down a bit.

At the beginning of the pregnancy, with this one, I lost weight, then when I entered the 2nd trimester, I started gaining and for now, I've only gain 15 lbs, thank God, and the Dr said is good so I'm happy with it, with the one last year I gained 15 lbs in the first trimester, so that's why I've been trying not to gain to much weight with this one

Yeah don't walk to much, when we start a pregnancy being obese, is more difficult for us, I have a cerclage and I still walk, I'm already 29 weeks, but I'm not supposed to do it, so just do whatever u can, last year I weighted 260 and got pregnant and I used to work, I ended up stressing and doin so much, that my water broke at 17 weeks and nd lost the baby, so be careful and do what u can
