I think when your pregnant you do forget how important it is to have a healthy diet , yes I know pregnancy cravings etc can take over but for me knowing I was being on plan , giving my body the nutrients it needed then I knew the baby would be getting all it needed from me. I had alot of sickness in my pregnancy which people said that will pass soon ….

But I was determined to get back to where I was weight wise pre-pregnancy. I had planned to go back to group as soon as , the c section wore me out though.

It took alot out of my body. I came home , enjoyed my baby boy and 6 weeks to the day he was born I knew I was ready to go back. I made the best decisions I could. Those who criticised me for following a plan while pregnant are now the ones admiring me for it. Of course you will have different types of pregnancy. I know there are people out there who have a ridiculous amount of fluid retention bloating them out while pregnant but at least you know with that when baby comes it will go.

Loved reading that, had our little girl 4 weeks ago. I lost I went back to group last week when she was 3 weeks old and lost 13lb.
