Q. I'm about 30 lbs overweight, and I know being in shape is great for your baby's health and you look great. I was on a diet and strict exercise schedule before getting pregnant but upon finding out I quit. Is it safe to lose extra body fat during pregnancy? With walking, healthy eating and small amounts of pregnancy safe exercises daily or every other day. I'm 3 months 4 days pregnant.
I'll be eating the same amount of food every day just healthier food and I take prenatal vitamins?

A. When you're pregnant, you do need to gain extra weight for the baby. So maybe you should just wait until after you give birth to lose weight. Or you could just ask your doctor what he thinks a good weight should be for you
Where can I find a good site for pregnancy exercises?
Q. I am looking for some good tips and exercise routines that I can do while I am pregnant. I am only about four weeks along and this is my third child. I had planned to try to get into better shape before I got pregnant and lose some weight, but it didn't work out that way. I am obviously not looking to lose any weight because I know this isn't a good time, but I am wondering if there area any exercises that would be safe and healthy that I could do to possibly put my body into better shape before I have the baby. any help is appreciated. thanks.
A. Walking and swimming are what my doctor recommended as the safest exercises for pregnancy, but AmericanBaby.com and BabyCenter.com also have very good information.
Also, you might talk to your doctor about it. He/she may know of some good pregnancy yoga classes you could take.
Good luck!

What are safe exercises during pregnancy?
Q. Hi,
I am 16 weeks 5 days pregnant with my first. I was very active prior to my pregnancy in both cardio and weight training, but I am afraid I let my nerves and a threatened miscarriage get the best of me in my first trimester and have not worked out since I was 6 weeks pregnant.

How can I loose four inches off my waist?
Q. I had a baby 2 1/2 months ago, my second. And I have almost gotten down to my pre-pregnancy size I only have an inch and a half on my waist to go! But I still have 5 or 6 extra inches on my waist from my first child. I ate a lot better this second pregnancy and exercised with pilates and long walks. But what exercise do I need to do to get at least 4 inches off my waist. My husband gave me a list of 10 situps to try and we have a stationary bike. Also I am on a balanced diet. Any other suggestions?

A. walking always helps my waist, but since it's been too hot to walk around much lately, my waistline has been rearing its ugly head :-P I've been using the treadmill more, but that can get monotonous after awhile too. There are SO many exercises for your waistline though, & although these alone won't get rid of it, in combination with some other regular aerobic exercise, you'll slowly but surely see results.
One classic exercise is lying on your back like regular crunches, but put your bent legs off to the side, & then do them like you would with your knees up & bent (it's also good for your lower back). Another is holding a handheld weight (3-5 pounds) while standing, feet apart, then leaning sideways with your upper body & head just slightly until you feel a good stretch in your oblique (your head can lean to the side too), still facing forward for however many reps, then repeat the other side. And another, standing with feet apart, do waist twists... arms can swing around, stay bent with clenched fists, etc., you can vary them, but try to keep your legs neutral so you don't hurt your back. Anyway, these are just a few off the top of my head that you may or may not do already, but try em! & while I'm thinking about it, I'm gonna try some of these right now ;-)
