Q: What is the secret to staying in shape while pregnant?
A: The secret is DEFINITELY to stay active as much as possible. It is difficult sometimes, because your body is seemingly and obviously gaining weight because it is making a baby. But just the thought of how much easier it will be to regain your energy and body after delivery, is hopefully a good motivator.
Also, it is in the calories!! A baby-making body doesn’t require more than 200-350 more calories per day. Moms often “eat for two,” which can mean that there is a food frenzy at every meal. When you find the balance, stick to it!!
Here are some little sayings you can use to motivate yourself:
- I am doing this for the health of my Baby
- I want to get in Hot Mama shape quickly after I deliver!
- I am instilling the value of health into my precious baby already!
- Exercise makes my body stronger, healthier, and wiser!!
- Any little thing I do is valuable!
