Pregnancy Advice
Hello! I have recently discovered that I am pg with #2, and in an attempt to gain a more reasonable amount than with #1 (50lbs!) I am planning to monitor my eatinng and exercise habits closely. I had initially considered doing Core, but I prefer Flex. So, I have been following the Flex Pts for nursing mothers. {I am also still bf my 2 yr old, much to my surprise and astonishment!}
I take a prenatal vitamin, ensure I get my dairy and oils, and fruits and veggies... Has anyone else been through this or does anyone just have any advice for me? Thanks! |
My friend did and her GYN advised her to do 8-10 additonal points a day to be used for protein, dairy and complex carbs...not junk. She gained 30 pounds (which is supposed to be a good amount) and it was gone within 3 weeks after her baby was born.

Kelly,
Thanks for the input! :) Its good to hear others doing what I thought was a reasonable plan. The 8-10 extra pts are the same as the nursing pts, although I guess maybe I should also add a couple more for actually nursing too! Losing it in 3 weeks would be ok...I am a bridesmaid for a very close friend 4 wks after I am due! It is very good added motivation to eat healthy. I am hoping to gain 15-25 this time around, as I am a solid 20lbs over what I would ideally be to start with! Thanks again for sharing! |
