Tips on healthy eating and exercise during pregnancy?

Q: Hi everyone,I’m almost 10 weeks pregnant and finding it very hard to get myself into eating vegetalbles at the moment. I seem to constantly be craving pasta! Anyone got any tips on how to make sure I keep vege’s in my daily diet? Any recipes, etc?Also is walking the best exercise during pregnancy or are there others I can do? Should I wait until the second trimester (exhausted atm) or should I force myself into action earlier rather than later?Thanks in advance and baby dust to all 🙂

A: Try cutting up some raw veggies (peppers, carrots, celery) and dipping in a yummy dip, that’s a great way to get the veggies in. Pasta is good for you with the carbs, it’s not the worst thing to eat at all!I find walking is the best exercise. I felt terrible during my first trimester, but walked around the neighborhood every day in my second and third trimesters. I had a great, easy pregnancy and was down to my pre-baby weight four months after having my baby, with no dieting at all, just more walking.I asked my OB if I should force myself to walk when I don’t feel well and she said not to, when you don’t feel well in the first trimester it’s better to rest your body that overexert it. Just pick up walking when you feel better. Good luck and congrats!

Anyone had high blood pressure during pregnancy & had to deliver early?

Q: I have had untreated high BP for years & have had to take Labetalol since 8 weeks pregnant to try to control it, my dosage was increased from 200 mg a day to 400 mg a day & my BP is still high. I even quit my job working at an ER to try to keep my BP down. I have to have appts every 2 weeks now to monitor my BP & I had an appt earlier today & my dr told me some upsetting news that I might have to deliver early due to having high BP. She said if I start showing signs of preeclampsia, then I will have to deliver early & there is now way they would let me get past delivering 40 weeks. I am so upset at the thought of my baby being born early & not developing properly. Despite my high BP, Ive tried to be healthy during this pregnancy & now I feel like it’s out of my control. I hope & pray that at the earliest if this must happen, that it’s at least at 38-39 weeks. Have any of you ladies had high BP during pregnancy & had to deliver early?? Or even any ladies that had to deliver early for different reasons? If so, how did this affect the babies & what is the earliest that a baby can be born & be ok?? ThanksYeah, I dont salt my foods & try to avoid salty or processed foods. I drink tons of water & try to eat healthy. I wish there was something I could do to lower it! I even quit my job & that sucks having one income & struggling just to help my BP, but Ive been doing all that I can do. Im just praying I dont deliver early!

A: I started having blood pressure problems at 32 weeks. At 34 weeks, my doctor said it was probably a good idea to deliver early, but I would have to go to a different doctor and hospital. I decided not to, and made it to 39 weeks. I had weekly ultrasounds and non-stress tests, my ultrasound was fine, but when they took my BP at my non stress test, it was 150/100. I was induced, I was in labor for 12 hours, not dilating, so my doctor decided to do an emergency c-section. When I delivered, my BP shot clear up to 170/110. My baby was fine, but the magnesium I was on did cross over to her, so that was hard for both of us. Be prepared for that. My advice to you is to listen and follow the rules if they put you on bedrest. I didn’t, and almost had to deliver way early. Good luck hun, I hope you make it to at least 37 weeks!
