Congratulations! You have just discovered that you are pregnant. This is definitely one of the best times of your life, but it also means having to re-examine some of your usual activities to make sure that they are still a good idea, especially as your baby and tummy grows. Obviously your health and the health of your baby are the most important things to consider!
Fortunately, doctors will tell you that being pregnant is not an illness or a disease – which means that, for the most part, you should continue doing most of your daily activities and this includes maintaining the fitness program that you have been working on prior to your pregnancy. Of course, you should consult with your doctor before continuing your fitness routine and you may need to “tweak” it a little bit, but one of the best things you can do for your body and for baby is to stay healthy, strong and active while you are pregnant. Of course, you will gain some weight during your pregnancy, for most women this would be an average of 20 to 25 pounds over the entire 9 months, but you can balance out the weight gain with your fitness program – which means that the weight you will be gaining is truly “baby” weight. Basically, you need to remember that you have to stay active during the pregnancy and certainly after the pregnancy. Letting yourself go while you are pregnant will only result in you having to lose extra weight after the birth – which is certainly not something you will want to do. Remember that moving, staying active and eating well are the secrets to a healthy pregnancy and post delivery! You can find a simple and relaxing fitness routine that will be geared towards ensuring that you gain the least pregnancy weight as possible – and this can be the routine that you follow throughout your entire pregnancy – it can be safe, healthy and pain free. Don’t forget the food and those “cravings”! Yes, you will probably get food cravings, but there are some tried and true tested methods to help you stay away from the “fatty, sugary” foods. You can condition yourself to reach for an apple instead of that fatty muffin during your next food craving. It can be done. What a joy to be able to benefit from healthy activities while your baby grows happily and healthy!
