I'm wondering if there are any other pregnant woman out there who would like to chat regularly to support each other in having a healthy pregnancy? I know everyone desires to have a healthy pregnancy but I feel like I may need a little bit of extra encouragement to exercise regularly and to eat the best foods to nourish myself and bubs. If you'd like to share the journey together I'd love to hear from you
OK so I wanted to bump this thread and I've posted the link to this is thread to a few of my BB friends who I know are pregnant so hopefully you are all going to come and join me
So far I have been doing pilates 2 times a week and I've started to eat pretty well, getting at least 2 serves of fruit per day and at least one salad or veg serve (on most days 2) I'd say I am also getting plenty of fiber and I've been taking my vitamins every day including an iron tablet. On the water front I've always been pretty good with that however I'd like to commit tracking how much I am having each day and making sure it's 2 ltrs. And I also want to up my Omega 3 intake.
My goal this week is to add 2 20 min walks and to do up a meal plan of what main meals I am going to make this week... That sounds easy enough
However im going to be a difficult one! i find it really hard to find time to do exercise so at this stage all i can manage to do is a walk after dinner - than its only a slow walk as DD likes to walk aswell, no longer will sit in pram!
Also as for the eating healthy im so trying to do that ( i only put on 5kgs last pregnancy and would like to stick close to that) but atm greasy food really settles my tummy!!!
I know i need to increase my fibre intake as Elevit has evil side affects for me!
YAY I have a friend! 5kg's last pg wowsers that is great! I'm not so focused on how much weight I put on but rather just being healthy I'd just like to give bubs the best start possible so I'm so happy you have joined me to keep eachother motivated YAY
MummaMia thanks so much gorgeousness! After reading your list I now feel like I'm already a super mum I do eat loads of veg/salad stuff and We also eat heaps of nuts and beans + lentils & rice and we even drink oat mil rather than regular dairy. So I now feel great and happy that I'm doing well. Any advice you have along the will be great and I can't wait to see a BFP announcement from you soon
hj Oh no, what side effects does Elevit have on you? I do take Elevit but I think the multivitamin I used to take which was Metegenics Femme is much better all round, it's got pretty much everything Elevit has but higher levels and more, I think there may have been one or 2 things it didn't have but I haven't noticed any side effects from the Elevit so haven't bothered changing back. I think if you are eating well and getting in what exercise you can that you'll be doing well hon, I tend to be sitting down more often than not so I need to make an effort, I can't imagine you get to do that running around after a little on when you are home and running around at work too! Again I'm so happy you have joined me and sill so super dooper excited you are pregnant!!!!
Update on me: Yesterday, walked a little... it was around the shopping center so I don't think that really counts but I did eat well. Today I am doing up my meal plan and going shopping. I will aim to eat well before I go so that I don't buy unnecessary treats while I'm there! The other think I did last week when I did up my meal plan (this will be my 3rd week of doing it) I also factored in snacks such as yogurt and I made pumpkin and lemon scones and some sugarless oat & banana cookies which have been great cause they were healthy and filling This week I am making some other yummy healthy treat but not sure what yet. Today is also house work day so I may not get my walk in......
YAY again it's so nice to have some friends in here
Mumma Mia - scallops are... omg that's hard to answer. Sea-food - little round white things with an orangey bit on the side. Sometimes served crumbed (makes 'em really hard to recognise!). Btw, ur weight loss is going so well, congrats!!!
Dr. Tal - omg potato fudge, I didn't realise such a thing existed!! It's naughty, but gosh I'd love the recipe.
JLeigh - was just in hossie for Monday, but haven't been off the sofa/bed since... tricky with an 18m.o.! Luckily have got my mum flying in to help out so I can recover.
I think I'm actually fantasising about food now lol... can't wait until I can eat properly again. Ok i've hit my "sitting up" limit... hope everyone else is going well and eating lots of super-yummy healthy food
