yoga while pregnant

[gillianl]

Can yoga help tone up your fatty bits while pregnant? I was overweight before I conceived now I feel bad as I don't hav e a completely round bump due to some loose fatty skin.  I've ordered a yoga dvd as I've been told this could help lose weight but not to much that it harms the baby, tones and stretches the muscles to help with labour.
Has anyone tried this before? Would you recommend it? Can you lose weight while pregnant and still have a healthy baby?

If you're not used to it, just make sure to take it slowly as first and work your way up. :) Good luck!

You CAN lose weight and still have a healthy child (I lost 25 pounds due to extreme nausea/vomiting and my daughter is 110% healthy) but intentionally trying to lose weight is highly recommended against. I know pregnant women can do Yoga, but I believe it's a certain kind. Make sure the one you have is for pregnant women. Just make sure you're eating properly (and do NOT starve yourself) and keeping hydrated.
