Answer 1

start exercising now! even little things like walking are very important, for you and your baby. Also try not to pig out on junk. Keep it healthy and you will feel better when your pregnancy is over.

Answer 2

i found the best thing was to walk every day...EVERY DAY! Its sooo good once you get going. Also it helps the babe to move into the right position.Also i ate really well,not measly portions but healthy types of food but if i wanted choccy or ice-cream or gherkin or whatever i ate it! Same as always, everything in moderation.Your not actually eating for two like some people say,you just need extra calcium,iron,folate etc..all the good stuff!Its actually only about an extra 200 gms of food a day.(check That amount)its not exact! Good luck!

Answer 3

from ur name i gather u r Indian.pregnancy is a time when women in India r pampered with lots of high calorie food.ur wish is now ur family's command.nothing is forbidden now.
so take care to avoid all those cold drinks ladoos,parathas,paneer,ghee,samosas,
pakoras etc.Have plenty of green vegetables,fresh fruits,double tonned milk(not full fat),curd,rice,roti,salads,nuts etc.u can satisfy ur cravings for high calorie foods(ice cream,golguppa,chocolates etc)by having them in moderation.do some sort of exercise.if u haven't done any before , walking is the safest.be active till u give birth but don't push urself too hard.take plenty of rest.after delivery u will be too tired and busy to do any exercise but resume it as soon as the baby settles down(by 3 months)walking is safe even if u have c-section delivery.now diet should remain the.same as during pregnancy but drink plenty of water as breast feeding will make u very thirsty.be sure to breast feed ur baby till he is a year old.that's the cheapest,easiest and quickest way to lose all those weight.all these advices r tried and tested by me.i was 57kg when i got pregnant.when i gave birth i was 63kg but lost 3kg right after delivery.over the course of 8 months i lost more than10kg.now iam 50kg(my baby is now 15 months) .hope this helps u.good luck

Eat a balanced diet, and do streches. And of course walk. (Take it from me, look how good I look and I was 8months in that picture, and I still look good! lol) Your doctor can give you information on streches you can do.
Brisk walking, about a 12-15 minute mile, is great before, during, and after pregnancy. If you're new to the joys of exercise, this is a good starter. As your fitness level improves you'll probably want to pick up the pace.


Swimming is excellent because it uses both large muscle groups (arms and legs); it's cardiovascular and low impact; it tones the body; and the water supports your weight. No diving during the last months of your pregnancy!


Jogging is fine in moderation if you did so before you became pregnant. Since there is greater risk of falling down, you should do it cautiously.


A moderately paced game of tennis is acceptable if you played tennis before you became pregnant. A better choice would be a doubles match (not so much running). You may have problems with balance and sudden stops, so watch your step.

Some things to watch out for....
Don't exercise in the supine position (flat on your back) after the first trimester. This position decreases the blood flow to the uterus.


You should be able to exercise and carry on a conversation. If you can't, slow down. You will have less oxygen available for aerobic exercise during pregnancy, so modify the intensity of your routine accordingly.


You will need an additional 300 calories a day during pregnancy, so if you're exercising, pay close attention to your nutrition and replace those calories you are burning.


Especially during the first trimester and throughout our pregnancy, stay cool when exercising. Drink plenty of water, wear loose fitting cool clothing and don't work out in a gym or any environment that is too warm.


After you give birth, resume your pre-pregnancy exercise routine gradually, based on your doctor or midwife's advice.


Don't do anything that involves standing motionless for long periods as it can decrease blood flow to the uterus. Weight lifting is fine, but incorporate movement into your routine by changing positions, stepping back and forth, etc. You may be able to continue doing weight bearing exercises at close to your usual intensity throughout pregnancy, but keep in mind, non weight bearing exercises such as swimming or yoga are easier to continue and carry less risk of injury.


Listen to your body. Stop exercising when you become fatigued, and don't work out to exhaustion. Reduce the intensity of your exercise routine so you'll have more oxygen available.


Monitor your heart rate. During pregnancy, your heart rate should not exceed 140 beats per minute or 60 percent of your maximum heart rate. Since your heart beats faster during pregnancy, you won't have to exercise as vigorously to reach your target rate.


Avoid exercises and sports that could throw you off balance, especially during the third trimester. Keep in mind that even if you're normally quite graceful, that Relaxin, the pregnancy hormone that relaxes the pelvic joints in preparation for childbirth, also loosens all ligaments and joints making you more susceptible to sprains and potential falls. Avoid any exercise that risks even mild abdominal trauma.
If you have any of the following symptoms while exercising, stop immediately and contact your doctor or midwife:

Pain


Dizziness


Shortness of breath


Feeling faint


Vaginal bleeding


Difficulty walking


Back or pelvic pain


Contractions


Unusual absence of fetal movements. (But bear in mind that the baby is often most quiet when you're exercising.)


You should also discontinue your exercise program and contact your healthcare provider if you have a rapid heartbeat while resting.

******I also have a packet on streches and how to do them, but it's too much to put on here. I'll e-mail it to you.****** Oh well your e-mail isn't availible on here. So click onmy picture and send me an e-mail letting me know it's you and I will e-mail the exercises back to you.

Answer 7

i stumbled on out i changed into having twins at 14 weeks because the docs were particular I had my dates incorrect (through dimensions of what they theory changed into one toddler) and gave me my first experiment. A month later, I had yet another and both twins were dealing with the same way, shoulder/hips at the same time which made the docs imagine they were cojoined. From then on, I had a experiment per week till they stumbled on that my plancenta changed into truly 2 placentas squashed at the same time (Making them fraternal twins - no longer even same, so no longer cojoined). From then to their finished-time period beginning I had a experiment each and every 2 weeks. For me it changed into incredible, because it changed into so reassuring to work out them transferring round and 'waving' at me. they at the on the spot are 28 years previous. both were suitable at beginning and went via the traditional early life diseases. The youngest (by 2 minutes) had listening to complications that were cured with the help of grommets (tubes contained in the ears) and both graduated from college. They both carry truly reliable jobs (surprisingly, interior the same style of work yet in numerous parts of the country) and that i'm very pleased with them. i have no longer talked about any complications that ought to likely were led to by having 'too many scans'. certainly, without the scans i'd've been mega-below pressure questioning what on earth changed into happening in there! For me, they were a medical necessity, to save me and the babies secure. in case you want them and are presented them, or if you're in any respect fearful about your toddler, i'd recommend you to take the provide to truly SEE your toddler on the reveal screen. lately (quite a lot 30 years later) the equipment is way better present day and medical doctors are significantly better conscious of what's and is not any longer secure for the mum and the toddler. In my adventure, my medical doctors did merely what changed into needed for my babies to be born properly. The evening in the previous they were born by C area, I even had an previous shaped X-ray, which confirmed one twin's foot jammed into my pelvis by the different twins head (it truly is why I had a C area!). without me permitting them to do the x-ray, I dread to imagine what may've got here about if i'd been allowed to attempt a organic beginning. delight on your pregnance and don't be disturbed about issues that are there that could actually help you and your baby. reliable success xxxx
