Can I lose weight during early pregnancy?

Suddenly I feel that pregnant women do not need to pay attention to their weight during pregnancy, because what they eat is not important. What matters is to eat more for the health and good development of the baby, even if they gain weight. In fact, pregnant women can properly regulate their body and mind through exercise during pregnancy, but do not try to lose weight deliberately. Pay attention to adjusting your diet, and it is not easy to gain weight if you arrange three meals a day.

Can pregnant women lose weight?

Pregnant women can lose weight.

Pregnant women will gain weight during pregnancy, but this gain is not without limit. Weight gain within a certain limit is normal, but exceeding this limit is considered obesity, which is not only not good for the pregnant woman herself, but also has a very adverse effect on the fetus in the womb.

Generally speaking, if a pregnant woman gains more than 15 kilograms in weight, the chance of having a giant baby is 7.46%, which can easily lead to dystocia. The risk of cesarean section is more than three times that of a normal vaginal birth. It is also very easy to develop pregnancy complications such as gestational hypertension and gestational diabetes, and the health of the overweight fetus is also a cause for concern. So in order to avoid this situation, pregnant women must control their weight during pregnancy and try not to gain too much weight.

Precautions for pregnant women to lose weight

Pregnant women should try to choose their favorite sports and do some necessary exercise. If you like swimming, then go swimming according to your physical condition. Brisk walking is also okay. If you have no history of spontaneous abortion or fetal arrest, and the pregnancy reaction is not very serious, you can live like usual, but you need to be careful not to do large movements such as twisting your waist and jumping. At the same time, you also need to be reminded not to be lazy to do housework. Moderate housework can make you healthier.

You can insist on taking a half-hour walk after dinner every day, or you can do slow-motion aerobics. Moderate exercises for pregnant women can make you healthier and prevent you from gaining so much weight. It will be beneficial rather than harmful to pregnant women and the fetus in the womb.

Precautions for pregnant women to exercise and lose weight:

1. Aerobic exercise, including brisk walking, jogging, cycling and swimming (see below). Aerobic exercise has a certain intensity and needs to last for a certain period of time without excessively consuming oxygen. Aerobic exercise during pregnancy can strengthen cardiopulmonary function and promote the body's oxygen absorption, so it has direct benefits for pregnant women and fetuses. In addition, it can enhance blood circulation and reduce varicose veins during pregnancy; increase muscle strength and partially or even completely eliminate back pain and lumbago; increase physical endurance and prepare for childbirth; and may also help regulate blood pressure, blood sugar, and control excessive weight gain.

2. Water sports, including swimming, water aerobics, etc. As a special type of aerobic exercise, water exercise is extremely beneficial to pregnant women: the buoyancy of water can help pregnant women support 10 to 13 kg more weight than before pregnancy, the resistance of water can reduce the chance of injury to gradually loose joints, and the better conductivity of water than air means that pregnant women do not have to worry about excessive increase in body temperature. What's more, the fun of water exercise is an irresistible temptation for anyone.
