Is it okay to lose weight while pregnant?
I am 6weeks pregnant and want to lose 5-10pounds before all the weight of being pregnant starts to kick in. I am going to the docs in 2weeks but am just curious

In a baby book I have it says its ok to loose weight in early pregnancy because you may feel sick/food averisons etc. But you shouldnt try to intentionally loose weight. You will gain about 15-25lbs in pregnancy.

I am looking for a healthy way to lose weight while pregnant to decrease the risk of diabetes while pregnant.?
Just started losing weight from my first child and just found out that I am pregnant. I was 160 before my first child and 320 in my last trimester. I had lost 60 lbs so far. Just want to keep it healthy at a slow weight loss and be able to do so during this pregnancy. Excersize and healthy eating is whta i have been doing and plan to keep it up. Is that healthy to keep doing??

Exercise and eat healthy. It’s not a great idea to diet during pregnancy, but you can help by eating right and exersicing. I am a bigger girl and I have YET to gain a pound. My nurse said it was perfect since they only want to see me gain about 15 lbs. I cut out most of my pop intake, and I’m eating smaller amounts along with taking my prenatals. I don’t “gorge” like I used to. I also eat more than just 1 time a day. Before I got pregnant, that’s all I would eat, now I eat 3 small meals a day with some healthy snacks in between. It sped up my metabolism and in my face, legs and arms, you can actually tell I’m losing weight, but the baby getting bigger is counter-acting it on the scale. Good luck and congrats.

how to lose weight while pregnant?
Ok, So im pregnant again, my son is 7 months old and i haven’t lost the weight from that pregnancy so im concerned about having this baby while so overweight! I was considering abortion but i have decided against it. So, i was wondering what i should do to lose weight and get in shape during this pregnancy? I have been doing floor exercises and walking 2 to 3 miles a day and i was going to start jogging before i found out i was pregnant but im not sure if i should now. What are some things some of you have done?
weight loss cardiff answers:
It is not considered healthy at all to intentionally lose weight while pregnant. Some basic exercises that are low impact (swimming, walking) and minding what you eat so that you don’t go completely overboard and gain too much weight are allowed, but regardless of your starting weight, you need to gain weight while pregnant for a healthy pregnancy.
Generally if you’re a healthy weight, they recommend gaining 25-35lb weight gain.
If you’re overweight (as defined by BMI, not just weighing more than you did before) they still want you to gain 15 to 25lbs
If you’re obese, they would like to see your weight gain between 11 and 20lbs.
