I am pregnant but i dont want to get super fat! ne ideasd how to keep off the wieght and stay healthy?

Answer:
Yes, eat healthy meals you need only a couple hundred more calories added to your diet. Exercise not a 2 mile run but you can still walk and it better for you too, it helps with the labor give you more stamina. Don't become a woman who thinks because you are pregnant you can have whatever you want, that's how you get fat!

its perfectly fine to stretch a little and try to tone a bit. as long as you dont work out for you to sweat.

---

Worry about it after you give birth cuz a diet right now is bad for the baby.
Afterwards just do some abdominal workouts

---

do brisk walking and eat healthy, filling foods.

---

take walks.

There is no way you should be dieting when you are pregnant it is very bad for the baby and could end up underweight! Bad for both of you actually! So, just as long as you eat sensibly and don't overdo it you should be fine. And don't forget to exercise as your doctor advises. Listen to her/his advice and you should be ok :)

If you are not overweight now, just keep eating like you are and exercising as long as it is healthy for you to do so. Not all women gain lots of weight. Just keep eating nuts, grains, fresh fruit, veggies and lean protein. If you aren't a big exerciser now, just start with a walking program. Talk to your Doc and see what he advises for exercise. Good luck with your pregnancy and new baby.

i would talk to your doctor about what kinds of workouts you could do and i would definitely do them. they also have workout videos in department stores. i didn't work out when i was pregnant and regret it. i did gain a bunch of weight and i am having a real hard time getting skinny again.
good luck and try to eat healthy. don't over do the "cravings"Congrats on being pregnant!

you should beable to participate in the activities you did before you were pregnant (I had a spinning instructor that was 8 months pregnant)... Also, you only need an extra 500 calories per day for baby. So just eat healthy %26 Exercise and you should be fine

I exercised through all three of my pregnancy and my birth were easier! They even have classes for prego's. Eat healthy even though you have "cravings". Eat a balanced diet and exorcise. If you are not a person who does regular exercising while not pregnant, you should take things slowly. Consult your doctor before you do either of these. If you have been doing a regular exercise routine, you can just stay with it.Congrats on you new little angel.

To have a healthy pregnancy and baby, you will need to gain about 25 pounds. You may as well accept that now. What you don't need to do is diet, as a means of preventing that weight gain, because it's your baby who will starve and your body that will suffer. The developing baby will rob your body of what is needed, vitamins and minerals- which can leave you with lost teeth, lost bone mass, and other vitamin related deficiencies. So for starters, take your prenatal vitamin every day. Eat smart. A well balanced diet, excluding the sweets and fatty fried foods, and nutritionally deficient snacks. Drink low fat or no fat milk, water, and juice- avoid the diet sodas. If you eat smart, and gain within the 25-30 pounds they recommend, after delivery, you will immediately lose about half of it, and within a few weeks will have shed most of it- without even trying to diet. Nurse the baby and you will encounter a 500 calorie deficit right off the bat, and eating a sensible diet without adding extra for the nursing will take off the remaining few pounds inside a month or so. I left the hospital in my ordinary clothing, after gaining 28 pounds predelivery. I was back in my skinny jeans inside the month, and I've done this six times- eating well balanced sensible meals and nursing each baby for a full year. But don't starve your baby trying to stay slender now. Enjoy the pregnancy, have a healthy baby, and pare off afterwards if needed. But give baby what it deserves for a healthy start in life.

A lot of women gain a lot of weight during pregnancy by thinking, "I am eating for two, so it is okay." WRONG! You are eating for two, but your baby only needs 300 calories a day. The best way is to eat several small meals throughout the day. Stick to nutritious foods such as fruits and vegetables, lean protein like chicken and turkey, and whole grains. Walking is a great way to exercise, especially later when you are close to your due date. Good luck, and I hope you have a healthy baby!

one of the girls that comes into Curves (where i work) told us she was 6 weeks pregnant and just found out! she said she is still going to continue to work out there (just not as hard) because it has helped her not have morning sickness. i would recommend taking your vitamins as that is a healthy thing to do for the baby and yourself and to eat lots of veggies, fruits and some whole grain bread. DO NOT (and this is a common mistake for pregnant women) eat double what you eat now since you are "eating for two" that is very unhealthy for yourself and for the baby. good luck :D

Attend an anti-natal yoga class not only will it stretch out your tired muscle but it will tone them which means you will burn more calories. In addition to that yoga focuses on you core muscle which are used during delivery to pushe the baby out. The stronger these muscles (Abs, lower back, glutes and pelvic floor) the easier it will be to push the baby out and you should experiance less pain.You could also try bellydancing if you want something a bit more fun and glamours. Bellydance is actuelly a system which has been passed down by women over hundreds of years to aid and prepare for childbirth.

First of all, trash the "old wives tales" that I am sure that you'll hear. Nutrition is all important, but eating a lot isn't. While you follow the advice of your doctor, don't listen to the idea that you can lay on the fat, and it all goes away after delivery. It never does. You should not gain more than 20 to 25 pounds in over all body weight. Actually, your weight gain should be comprised of the weight of the baby, the placenta, and the amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby as it develops. It can be done, with a healthy baby delivered when it comes due. You, however, must be careful to not over eat, and do keep up a good regimen of exercise. Ask your doctor for some general ideas as to baby weight, which can be very variable, but over 8 pounds is very rare, and the average weight of the placenta, plus the weight of the fluid. That should give you a benchmark for what your weight gain should be. Be sure to eat as regularly as you can, since this also has a bearing on weight gain, both now, and in your future.

you can walk as much as you can, you can do yoga and some cardio - the only thing you cant do is ab workouts.
in your first trimester you dont need more calories a day than before, in the second - about 300cal/day more and in third - 400-450cal/day more than before you got pregnant.
find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter your stats and see how many calories a day you need to maintain your weight and go from there.
eat plenty of fresh, unprocessed foods (organic if possible) and drink plenty of water.
