The Pregnancy Crisis nobody is talking about
Good article. Your weight during and before pregnancy could potentially affect your child, long-term, including increasing their chances for autism.
The Pregnancy Health Crisis No One's Talking AboutMom to
and my IVF/PGD
It's better to look back on life and say: "I can't believe I did that" than to look back and say "I wish I did that".

This makes me feel very good now about losing the weight. Before I started the diet I was at a BMI of 26, I am now down to 24.5 and still have 2 months before my attempt so hoping to drop to a 22.
It is soo hard to get that baby weight off especially for first time moms I think because they focus all their attention on the new baby and getting used to everything. I was underweight when I got pregnant with my first and I continuously gained with each subsequent pregnancy and never lost enough weight in between.
Girl or no girl, losing weight to reduce risk of autism is enough reason for me as I already have one kiddo with it.DS 1 2008
DS 2 2010
DS 3 2013

Really interesting - thank you! It will be interesting to see how much weight I gain when I get PG. When DS was conceived I weighed 70kg, just before he was born I weighed 85kg (and he was only 4.3kg of that!) now I weigh 58kg. It only took 3 months to get back to 70kg and that was through breastfeeding, i had no energy to do more than walk around town then. But, even though I weighed the same i had more fat around the middle so thats something I have to watch next time. I carry my extra weight around the middle. I can see how people dont lose the weight when you have a new baby to look after. I was lucky to get back to pre-pregnancy weight quickly through BF but he was a very hungry baby and on the boob every hour for the first 6 weeks!!!
I was also "one of those nutty women" but I dont run or jog I hate that, but I did continue with my exercise routine right up until the birth. I love exercise and my physio supported this. I made amendments at 20 weeks and again at 30 weeks. However my regime was mainly walking, weights, yoga and pilates anyway. My exercise regime is quite different now and yes i will continue to exercise up until the birth again but maybe not an hour of cardio a day

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
