Exercise

[TatianaMyesha]

I had just begun dieting and I was soon to begin a gym membership. But just yesterday I found out that I am pregnant!!!!! According to this app I am 5 weeks. I am wanting to know is it ok to diet and if exercising is ok and if so what exercises?

Ok well I hope I stay within that range or less . Im 180 & I dread seeing 200! , ugh

Btw I'm five weeks pregnant too. Most of my friends said they gained most of the weight in the last two-three months of their pregnancy. So I expect to pack on some weight then but yeah it's different for women who are overweight. My doctor stated that an average/underweight woman should gain 30-50. We are only supposed to gain about 11-20 because of our stored fat.

Thanks alot, that helped tremendously. I will definitely use the advice. I want to eat healthy for the baby too as well as myself and I want to keep my weight under control. And I want to be able to easily drop the baby fat afterwards.

Congrats. I'm in the same boat. I'm about 30lbs overweight. I was 50, I asked the doctor if I could continue working out and she said yes. The one thing that I noticed is that I'm out of breathe faster than I was before I got pregnant.I am kicking all the fast food and ice cream for now. Mainly because I want to eat healthier for my bun in the oven. My doctor said not to diet and I should only increase my calories by like 300 for the baby. Now I run 3 miles instead of 8, and I don't sprint. I hust jog. Hopefully this helps.

Dieting is probably a no. Eatong healthy is a yes, but make sure you eat often so you get all of the nutrition you need in a day. Exercise should be limited until you talk to your doctor. Every body is different. I am 7 weeks, and i am not allowed to exercise because i have a past of anemia. So, just either call your triage nurse or ask at your first appointment! Hope this helps :)
