Exercising During Pregnancy?

I would say definitely not! As long as you are growing and measuring just fine, and getting all of the adequate nutrition your body and your baby needs. I say good for you. Your pregnancy, labor, and after pregnancy will go so much better. And if there is a problem I'm sure that your doctor will say something at your next visit.

I was going to ask this same exact thing. I agree with the person who posted before me... as long as you are not purposely trying to lose weight, I think it's okay. You should still check periodically with your doctor though. I've known doctors to get upset if a mother gains too much as well.

Just do what you're supposed to, and only eat when your hungry, and don't do any vigorous or strenuous exercises that could hurt your baby. Good luck & God Bless!

OK, as long as you are not TRYING to lose weight. =) Definitely don't want to do that...

Exercise is great for you, it will keep you strong and healthy for the birth.

First, go to the doctor and make sure that everything is OK. You should be seen by a physician to rule out complications.

If he says you and baby are both just fine, make sure that you are eating enough calories per day.

And- take your vitamins!

Best of Luck!

I did it when i was pregnant i was not trying to lose weight i did it to stay health now me i was not overweight to start out so the 1st couple of weeks i gained 10pounds i stayed working out and the hole pregnancy i only gained 45pounds and was 2weeks late having a 7pound 5oz baby girl. i think working out while i was pregnant made it easyer for it to come off after i had her. i never eat for two i eat when i was hurger and did not if i was not hunger i think you need to do what you feel is best b/c one book will say no another book will say yes and if u ask people 5 my say yes 9 may say no it is ur body ur baby u are the mother and with that u need to make he chose for what is best for the 2 of you.

Excersing is good during pregnancy. It will also help with your labor when the time comes. Just don't overdo it and don't lift weights or anything like that. I don't know how good losing weight is, but it never hurts to tone down a little. I would just talk to your doctor.

Don't try to lose weight It's not good for you now but if you want exercising is good-like yoga or walking is good I borrowed a yoga exercise video from my local library called yoga mama it worked wonders for my back pain at the end of my pregnancy....

You shouldn't be trying to lose weight now. Just eat healthy and take a walk a few times a week. Start out slowly. Yoga is really good when you're pregnant. Always check with your doctor!

You have asked the same question I was about to ask.

I am also overweight..and wanted to know wht happens if u lose weight while preg if u are eating right and exercising.. I will pay close watch to ur answers..

something like swimming would be good i think, try your local swimming pool for aqua natal classes or local gym for preganancy classes.also have a talk with you doctor. you still need to be taking it easy though so really wouldnt reccommend doing vigargous exercises- something gentle and tiering urself out! being pregant takes it out of ya so look after u both.
