Q. My boyfriend and I are planning to wed andhave a child as soon as possible. I am 40 this year, healthy and fit by all means but before trying to conceive I'd like to know if there are some supplements, foods or general guidelines to help having a healthy pregnancy and conceiving. I am taking folic acid tablets... what else could I do? So many thanks
A. Go to the OBGYN and get a physical. Tell the doctor your plan to start conceiving. Start taking a prenatal vitamin and 1000 mg of folic acid. It is best to start doing this at least 3 months prior to trying to conceive. It reduces the risk of birth defects and promotes a healthy baby and pregnancy.

How many calories is a pregnant woman's healthy diet supposed to be?
Q. If a person is supposed to have a healthy diet of 2,000 calories a day, then what is a pregnant woman's healthy calorie intake supposed to be? Is it any different?
A. When my mom was pregnant with my baby brother (this was 13 years ago mind you) she had gestational diabetes and was on a 2000 calorie diet during the pregnancy..
what is a healthy bmi to get pregnant at?
Q. i weigh 186 and i am 5ft 3 inches tall. i know im grossly overweight, my bmi is 32.9 right now, and i am working on decreasing it... A LOT.
im doing ok in that department, but my ultimate goal is to have another baby. of course i want to lose weight so i can have a healthier pregnancy and be a healthier person all around. i used to weigh 115, so really this weight is uncomfortable and embarrassing.
anyhow, i was just wondering if anyone had gotten any recommendations from doctors or if anyone with medical experience could give me a hand on this one.
i will have health insurance in a month and im not going to get pregnant until then at least, but my main problem is that i cannot see a doctor right now to discuss this with them.
in order to be in the "normal" range, i would have to lose 45 pounds right now, im just wondering if i need to lose all of that before trying to concieve.
thanks!
thanks kat. good luck on ttc!!! baby dust!
doodlestuff, thank you so much!
i am on sparkpeople... i love it. i did so great on their programs for a while, fell off track... but im back on! woo! oh, and im taking prenatals now... walmart's brand, i believe, but still! its much better than nothing.
and thanks to the other answerers! this is making me feel better about my situation, not my weight, ill be ruined the day im comfortable with it... but at least i am realizing (with more and more research) that we dont necessarily have to wait!
im determined to have a healthy pregnancy. my last one was a miracle, i didnt find out i was pregnant until i was 5 months and didnt get prenatal care (stupid doctors) until i was 6 months. luckily i had a super healthy baby boy! but i dont want to risk it at all this time.
thanks!! hope answers keep coming!

A. Lose 10% and get regular exercise and you will be a long way to having a healthy pregnancy. Even if all you do is a 10 minute walk, 3x daily, studies have shown that this drastically improves your body functions. You do not have to wait until you are to an ideal weight unless you have breathing problems. Also, get your blood pressure checked. Most clinics, fire depts. will do it as a free service. Regular exercise will bring it down, but it will also tell you if you have a tendency towards a higher blood pressure at this time.
My doctor told me he was fine with me losing weight so long as I kept it to an average of a pound a week. More than that could be a problem. Following a Weight Watchers style diet is nearly always approved by doctors.
Oh, and start taking OTC prenatals now for the extra folic acid. Target brand is a good one. Your doctor may even up it more, but at least this is something you can do without a prescription. Women over 165 lbs. were found not to respond as well to the amounts of folic in regular vitamins and generally need to take more.
