Be it both times I had pre-eclampsia. The first time I swelled up like a blowfish around 25 weeks & in total gained 50lbs, which was hard to shed. I still held on to about 15-20lbs of it 3 years later when I got pregnant again. This time, with better eating & exercise (not having a desk job) I only gained 29lbs. Of that 29lbs - 25 of it is gone 12 weeks postpartum!

I definitely think from experience that IF you are doing really high intensity workouts prior to getting pregnant that you should take it down a notch. But moderate exercise will make you feel great! Also, drinking over 100 ounces of water daily will help in MANY ways. To help with nausea eats LOTS of high protein foods! :-)courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02359362124496469405noreply@blogger.com
