Extra Easy Pregnant Following SW Amanda's Diary

[Mandaxx25]

So I'm 15 weeks pregnant with my fifth child, and not wanting to gain too much. I usually follow Exante but being pregnant I can't, so I'm here to get all the nutritional goodness from SW for me and baby. I'm wheelchair bound with SPD already, so exercise is a complete no no. Let's see if I can lose or even maintain my current weight throughout. I'm currently 14 stone 5 pounds and a size 18.

I swear I never want to eat unless I'm eating healthy Has to be psychological. Wish there were some exercises I could do to help see faster losses.

Still on track. I find this so much easier when I'm pregnant!

Hiya. How you getting on?

My baby is now 7 1/2 months old, I know how stubborn this baby weight can be. I put on 2 stone altogether throughout my pregnancy.

Although I've lost the "baby" weight and back to my prepregnancy weight, my body is a completely different shape and seem to be storing fat around my stomach more

Good luck, and keep us posted on how your doing.

Aw thank you! Im doing really well. This is baby number five. I have the slowest metabolism so I usually end up losing when I'm pregnant due to it increasing a little. My appetite decreases hugely too, so I'm banking on this being the best time to eat really well and lose more than ever. I know exactly how you feel. I've been trying to shift the four stone I gained when I was 17 for thirteen years now

Ooh good luck. I am always fascinated with stories where people give birth and are immediately thinner than pre pregnancy lol

 

[Mandaxx25]

Hehe I really hope to be extra less. It's making me really enjoy the challenge knowing I will hopefully be. I already weigh a good bit less than I did at the start. I'm excited to see what they say when I next get weighed. I still just look fat because I usually don't look pregnant until about 6-7 months. So I've lost my pregnancy moon face at least haha xx

Baby number 5!!! Your a seasoned pro! ... I could never imagin doing it again and I've only got the one.

Make sure your not too strict with your self... it's healthy to put a little bit of weight on with a baby on board.

I unfortunately had the opposite... I ate everything in sight... if I saw it I wanted it (even if it was things I never previously liked!)... shopping with me was a nightmare!

 

[Mandaxx25]

For some reason I have to force myself to eat so I just make it as healthy and balanced as I can. I've had both kinds of pregnant though. Greedy ones and appetite loss ones lol xx

When I had my daughter I did healthy eating, even though I was a normal weight to begin with. I didn't gain much weight at all and ate loads.

Have you accounted for the extra healthy extras you get during pregnancy. Especially the A's as you need the extra calcium.

I have yes I sometimes can hardly manage any food. So I just try to make it as nutritional as possible and take my vitamins. We are off for a 4D scan tomorrow to see what we are having. I think a girl and hubby says boy lol. I have never ever had any clue before really. I have three girls then a boy and each time I guessed they were the opposite of what they were lol. I'll be over the moon with either. Another little girl would be lovely but another little boy as a playmate for my youngest would be great too
