l wanna lose 30 pounds! gettin ready for pregnancy
My Husband and I are thinking about-thinking about another baby.
I was 131lb before I had my daughter in 2003. Due to the 70LBs I gained, my blood pressure got high, and I had to stay on bed rest for the last two weeks. The worst part was; when my baby was born it was so hard to change her diaper, and give her a bath. Mostly because my upper back would go numb. I assume it was due to the bed rest, and the hospital stay (had a suprise C-section , she was breech) I guess, I just lost my upper body strengh. It took 5 years for me to get pregnant. When I finally did, all my dreams came true, but it was so hard to do the things I dreamed about (taking care of my baby).
I am so afraid of that happening again. I felt like a different person when I was pregnant. I was revenously hungery all the time, but healthy food made me green. The trouble I had was all because of the weight gain
I still have almost 30lbs of my last pregnancy weight to lose, so I wanna lose that first. Then maybe I can just be careful not to gain more then the recommended weight. The hard part is that I have been tring to lose this weight for 2 years, and all I’ve done is maintain. I figure I’ll set a dead line. I’d like to lose the weight by september.
Next time around, I want to be able to enjoy my newborn without such a struggle
Congrats on thinking about another baby!! Do you mean 2000 oz. of water by 6/1? Because that would be a lot to drink in one day!! Anyway, your goals sound realistic. Have you decided on a diet plan, or are you just concentrating on the exercise?
Yes, 2000 oz of water. That's what it says on my screen, does it say something different on your's?
My diet plan is based on calories. I must burn 1500 calories to lose 1 lb a week, I'm going for 2. So, I am trying to eat 1500 calories a day, and burn 500 with activity. I started this (seriously) Monday. Everyday, I get closer to 1500 cal a day. I'm using fitday, and it helps sooo much.
I'm not only cutting calories, but I also try to only eat whole grain, and No fried food. High protein, and moderate carbs. I feel for the first time in a long time that I am on the right track again. (I used to fallow a bodybuilding routine for eating as well as my work out.)
Now my goals are different, as well as my routine. I feel like I'm training for a big event, like a marathon. I guess I am in a way.
Hey there~ I too am losing for another baby, but my first is only 10.5months old. We want to have one so they are 2 years apart but I am still 24lbs above my last pre-preg weight. I'd like to lose 34lbs before I start trying as I was overweight to begin with, but I don't want to wait too long. I had a really good preg last time, no issues at all, but I think I might have been lucky!
I am on WW, first week back, having just weaned my bambina from the boob, so hopefully it'll work out!
I tried to breast feed to. It was hard enough with the c-section, but she was tounge tied (the skin under her tongue was all the wayt to the tip) and she couldn't latch. She nursed for 1 month, and I pumped till she was 3m. I tried everything, even got her tounge clipped. After I finally gave in, we were much happier. If my next one latches with no problem, Ill go with it, but if we have any problems like the last time, I will just use formula.
I hating sound like doom and gloom. I love motherhood, and I had a picture perfect prenancy till the end when my weight exploded :-P
Belle, there's no reason your 2nd PG shouldn't be awesome too! Both my pregnancies were great! I'd carry and give birth to 10 kids...just don't want to raise 10!!
I also had latching problems with both boys, but we stuck it out as long as we could...12.5 months with DS1 and 5.5 months with DS2.
I wanted so so badly to succeed at breastfeeding, but I have to say, giving up was the best decision I ever made. I felt like such a failure thought. I compensated (in my mind anyway) by early potty training. She stopped doing #2 in her diaper by 12m and she could tell me when she had to pee by 16m.
