Pregnancy & exercise!!

edited March 2011 in Pregnant
How many stb mommies exercise on a regular basis to prevent unneccesary weight gain? I'm 26 weeks pregnant as of Wednesday and I've gained 18lbs and want to maintain a healthy weight so I don't gain anymore! Help!

  • Apparently no one has this same issue =(
  • I've gained almost 10 pounds since getting pregnant. I think a lot of it has been water. But I'm eating a clean diet and walking 2 miles every day starting today. I also lift weights (10 or 15 pound dumbbells just to be safe) three times a week.
  • i just posted this too...i havent even begun to exercise..just me being lazy my main thing is will it help when u go into labor
  • GIRL!!! I am only 17 weeks and have gained 14lbs!! So 26wks and 18lbs sounds good to me lol.. I do zumba on xbox kinect every day. Like 20 or 40 min it works out your legs and makes you sweat! And yessss ladies exercise will help make your labor easier!
  • I used to go to the gym and do 40 mins on the elliptical most days and curl 20 pounds.I've gotten so lazy.

  • I'm only 5ft and 100lbs pre pregnancy lol so I gotta watch my weight but idk where these 15lbs came from! Lol.. @may1mommatobe I think that's good too!! Lol with my first I gained 35 by 40wks lol
  • I need to, I realized I have been sleep-eating, and all chocolate it turns out.... but I'm really low on energy as is.
  • @lily_glz I am hoping not to gain more than 30-35lbs in total. I used to jogg regualry & was on a diet then when I got preggo I just let go lol
  • When I was 17 weeks I had only gained like 7lbs, so I've put on weight mainly in the last few weeks! My belly is getting so big now that I'm almost 26 weeks! I'm just going to start making better choices and walking :)
