Thomas asks…
Is it safe to try to lose weight while pregnant?
I’m only talking about 10-15 pounds. I’m not pregnant now, but trying to conceive. I want to be totally healthy beforehand, so I eat well and try to exercise daily. I just don’t know if it’s okay to step up the exercise level, or if this isn’t a good time. (like taking up running?) I guess my uncertainty is in not knowing between ovulation and missed period what is happening. I don’t want to go overboard and miscarry. What have your doctors recommended??

If you’re not pregnant now, it doesn’t matter what you start doing. You can exercise as hardcore as you want.
Usually, if you normally workout intensely, they let you continue doing that once you’re pregnant. You just don’t want to make a drastic change AFTER you’re prego.
Richard asks…
Is it possible to safely lose weight while pregnant?
When my daughter was 5 months old I got pregnant again, Im happy about having another child but I didn’t get to lose all my pregnancy weight from my daughter and I don’t want to gain too much weight so is it possible to safely lose weight while I am pregnant now?!?
weight loss cardiff answers:
It is NEVER recommended that a pregnant women try to lose weight while pregnant.
You can however not take in as many calories and exercise to limit the amount that you gain.
You need to gain some weight while pregnant so that your baby can develop accordingly.
Just eat right, exercise and try not to give into every naughty craving.
But sometimes if you are craving something, it is your body telling you that you need it for some reason or another.
Good luck on your pregnancy
Lizzie asks…
Is it ok to lose weight while pregnant?
It’s slightly possible that I may be pregnant. Won’t know until I miss my period. However, I started dieting and exercising recently and I’m actually losing weight and doing well with it. If it turns out that I am pregnant, should I stop dieting and exercising or should I just change how I’m doing it?
Thanks!
weight loss cardiff answers:
No. Any doctor will tell you that. What you can do is just make sure you are eating healthy. Don’t eat any more calories than you need for you both to be healthy. While pregnant that is only about an extra 300 calories a day. And you can take walks everyday to stay active.
