Confused
Ok well my last pregnancy was great much better than this one but i gained a ton of weight i gained 80 luckily lost 100, but i want to not gain so much weight and i want to eat the food that is good for my baby. Is it ok to have ginsing? chamomile tea? should i just eat salads? i want to do better this pregnancy than my last. any food ideas?
Answer
You shouldn't diet when you are pregnant--salads are not going to give the baby (or you) all the nutrients needed for a healthy pregnancy.
Just eat sensibly and make smarter food choices. Pregnancy doesn't mean you're eating for two. You really only need an additional 300 calories a day to provide you with the extra nourishment you need.
Choose healthful foods, take brisk walks, and maybe sign up for a prenatal yoga class to stay in the best shape you can.

Answer
Firstly, you need to realize that even if you are overweight now, it is a bad idea to start dieting to lose weight or exercising excessively to lose weight. You now need to concentrate on your baby, then you can concentrate on losing the weight after the baby is born. Your doctor is right, you shouldn't be losing weight, but at the same time, if you are over weight then you shouldn't be putting on a lot of weight in the first two trimesters. There are things you can do to be more healthy, however. Personally, I get up at about 8:30 every morning (my baby wakes me up with a good few kicks) I have wholemeal cereal for breakfast, then a slice of wholemeal toast about an hour later. Then I have lunch about 12:30ish, then at about 2-3 another snack. Although if you're feeling pecking in between its perfectly fine to munch of a few things as long as they aren't unhealthy! Try fruits, dried fruit, carrot sticks, nuts (not peanuts) porridge, etc etc. Then I have my evening meal at around 6pm. then another healthy snack or 2 before bed. I never have huge portions at meal times, rather I like to eat little and often as this keeps my energy level up and keeps nausea at bay.
As for exercising, you need to consult your doctor before you start exercising if you weren't already regularly working out before your pregnancy. You need to make sure you don't overdo it (you should still be able to talk while exercising) and if you feel uncomfortable or light headed you have to stop (although your doctor will go into more detail with you). Taking this into account, my exercise regime is I go to aquanatal classes once a week (water aerobics for pregnant women) which is really good fun. Then I also go swimming on my own another day of the week to swim lengths and do some aerobic exercises. I also have an exercise bike which I use for about 20-25 minutes (not strenuously) about 2-3 times a week depending on how I feel. I also like to go for a walk (between half an hour to an hour) every day as it feels good to get fresh air every day! However this is my personal preference, I was very active before my pregnancy and I know my limits. Make SURE you consult your doc.
Hope this helps you. good luck in your pregnancy.
