Pregnancy
I am just wondering if it's a good idea to try to loose weight while in my
first trimester. I am 5'3 and I weigh 142 pounds. Though I don't look fat my breast are huge and I have a donut around my waist. But before I actually begin gaining pregnancy weigh I would like to loose the fat. Is that insane or reasonable.. help |

I am not an expert but I do not believe it is ever recomended that you loose
weight at any point of pregnancy.. I imagine that you will be recomended to eat healthier dropping out any soda, junk food or unhealthy calories also you will be told to excersize so those combined my make you lose weight anyway. I always do when I follow a healthy pregnancy diet. Tori -- Bonnie 3/20/02 Anna or Xavier due 10/17/04 "cunsee" wrote in message lkaboutparenting.com...

During the first trimester you'll probably lose, or not gain, if you have morning sickness, food aversions, etc...Some women also lose weight cos they're suddenly/finally eating healthy.

Is that insane or reasonable.. help It is not reasonable to try to lose weight while pregnant, even if you are overweight. Doing so can limit nutrients to the baby that the baby needs to grow and develop properly. Never try to diet while pregnant. That said, you don't need to eat huge quantities of food while pregnant in order to be healthy, and some women who are overweight find that they either lose weight or only gain very little during pregnancy while eating a healthy, varied diet with plenty of calories to support a healthy pregnancy. Bridget Swinney's book _Eating Expectantly_ is a very good guide to how much of what sorts of nutrients you need during each trimester. Best wishes, Ericka |

I am just wondering if it's a good idea to try to loose weight while in my first trimester. I am 5'3 and I weigh 142 pounds. Though I don't look fat my breast are huge and I have a donut around my waist. But before I actually begin gaining pregnancy weigh I would like to loose the fat. Is that insane or reasonable.. help Well, I'm the same height and started my pregnancy around the same weight (within a pound or two!). I also have large breasts and the extra fat around my abdomen. Maybe we're twins?? I kept a fairly healthy diet and exercised lightly 5-6 times a week throughout and have ended up losing a small amount of body fat, while gaining healthy pg weight. Don't try and lose weight - just eat well and exercise, and you may end up losing some of the fat anyway. My own priority was feeling fit and energetic, rather than being "thin". -- Maggie |
