Is anyone really overweight and pregnant? I feel horrible for being so overweight and is it harder while father in your pregnancy?

m told helps you maintain a healthy weight during pregnancy she only gained 13 lbs her pregnancy and they were never concerned because she was eating healthy and still doing yoga in bed. I do pregnancy yoga and I have only gained 6lbs my pregnancy and I wasn't the smallest person before pregnancy but moderate weight. All I can say is eat healthy and ask your doctor about pregnancy yoga. Best of luck to you.

Can yoga help tone up your fatty bits while pregnant? I was overweight before I conceived now I feel bad as I don't hav e a completely round bump due to some loose fatty skin. I've ordered a yoga dvd as I've been told this could help lose weight but not to much that it harms the baby, tones and stretches the muscles to help with labour. Has anyone tried this before? Would you recommend it? Can you lose weight while pregnant and still have a healthy baby?

No stairs...long walking...etc. I need to excercise and am wondering if Yoga would be recommended for someone with my condition. I just want to do something that will not only shape me up physically, but also mentally. Also, I am still having pain and spasms in the LP/Bloodpatch area. How long does that area take to heal?

I got conflicting advice from my doctors here in Italy - some saying no yoga or pilates, others saying do yoga and pilates. My yoga teacher told me that her husband had the same op as I had and does yoga three times a week and has never felt better. I really am confused about this! I'm not overweight, I don't smoke and I walk a lot. I really want to get strong again quickly as I'm desparate for another baby.

Eat healthy and drink lots of water. Cut out all or most of the yummy junk food we all love so much. As for exercise take it easy. Try walks, swimming water aerobics and even yoga. Its all stuff that can be done during pregnancy and safe! As long as your Dr oks you with any of what I mentioned have fun. With my son I gained 60 lbs. I took the eating for 2 thing seriously. I'm 25+3 with twins and have only gained 2 lbs. ( morning sickness was fun lost 25 lbs... ouch) Keep your head up.

Being overweight puts a lot of pressure on your joints and may be the cause of your breathing problems during exercise. Perhaps you should look into something low impact like swimming to help you get a bit more fit. Aerobics and yoga might also be an option because they're not so much cardio- so in my experience- they don't make it as hard to breath as say running would or walking up a steep hill. I'd also suggest talking to your doctor. Perhaps you have asthma.

That's an ideal weight for your height, hun. But if you don't feel like that's enough, you can tone up a bit and focus on the areas that you don't like. Personaly, i do capoeira and it works JUST PERFECT to build slim sexy muscles and enhance your metabolism. Wish you best of luck!

t take long, walking several miles/day at a brisk pace to notice a difference. Yoga is also excellent for toning/losing weight. Both walking and yoga will tone the whole body. You can check out YouTube for tons of videos on yoga poses. Yoga emphasizes balance, breathing and relaxation. It works a lot on core muscles. Sounds like something for old folks, but it's really not.

for all you guys that do yoga does your doctor recommend it or do you find it and do it on your own were would I look

There are a number of different things you can do to improve your quality of life - chiropractic care, stretching, yoga, etc. Overweight people often notice a decrease in back pain simply by losing a few pounds... Adam Tanase, D.C. www.drtanase.

m overweight, and this is my first baby and I want to do a vaginal delivery. I heard people say that overweight can make delivery more difficult.

I believe fully in therapy and, if needed, medication to address depression. If you do not want to do that, then you should make daily goals for yourself. When you're depressed, it seems too overwhelming to go much past daily goals. As for not stress eating, you need to start an activity that you can do when you are stressed that does not involve food but does calm you down. Yoga, as Rishi said, is helpful for that. You can't always stop and do yoga though.

I have been taking yoga-lates. it's yoga and pilates. This class is for almost all levels. I have been doing well on it. I am not able to do everything (about 85% completion and more the more I do it). It helps with flexibility and cardio, without totally straining your body. I used to be able to walk three miles in 45 min. now I can't walk a flight of stairs. Changing my diet to more fruits and veggies, and cutting down on fried foods help. Tumeric helps for the inflammation. Good luck.

I never lost the weight with him and I am very stressed about gaining 60 more lbs. It early, but im worried. I went for a 45 min walk today, I think I will start a walking program... any advice?

I don't eat fast food I eat a lot of fruits and bread like for breakfast I eat scrambled eggs with toast or Cuban bread and I'll have a Bagel mid day. I eat peanut butter granola bars I'm like obsessed with them. I don't exercise I work in a restaurant so by the time I get home I'm just beat and want to rest. The crazy thing is that I do not look like I've gained so much weight.. people think I've only gained like 10 pounds.

My Midwives are both confident that with healthy eating and moderate exercise overweight women can have healthy pregnancies. Keep an eye out for too much sugar or sodium (try to cut them out completely) and drink TONS of water and your body should adjust and shift weight around. I have heard of larger women losing weight at the beginning and levelling off. Hope this helped. And congratulations on the pregnancy!!!

But Herb Pharm makes an excellent combination tincture for high blood pressure. Hawthorn is the main herb for this, and it can also help with anxiety, but combinations work better. And the person who recommended meditation and yoga is absolutely spot on, they have been proven to work with some people, as has exercise and dietary changes.

I used to do yoga every day and loved it. There are a variety of different types of yoga - some more active than others, so you can actually work up a sweat if that's your goal. There's yoga for every age and level of activity, ranging from weight loss to chair yoga for seniors or disabled.

I am only six weeks along and I'm a first time mother. I'm a little overweight and 5'6. I feel like I'm showing a lot more than I should be at this point. I'm bloated and can't even suck in! Anyone else have this issue??

Yes some people should lose weight in a healthy way for pregnancy especially if u r already obese and at risk for certain things like GD or high BP. Im 34 weems and still down by 1 pound bcuz of such a difficult pregnancy but my baby is right on track.

I am overweight and as I started to lose some, I got pregnant. Has anyone gone through this? I'm nervous what 9 months is gonna feel like when my feet already hurt due to my size :( anyone lose any weight while being pregnant ?

Hello everyone. Well I just recently read about a technique that has helped me confront my fears and physical symptoms of hyperventilation. I have to say that it's actually helped out quiet a bit , but I DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA FOR SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY SUFFERS FROM HEART, LUNG, BRAIN (LIKE CLOTS), OR HIGHBLOOD PRESSURE. THIS IS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN CHECKED OUT BY A DOCTOR ABOUT THEIR HEART, LUNGS, HEAD, ETC AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY ARE OK.
