Pregnancy and overweight

Pregnancy - a wonderful, full of wonders of the time in the life of any woman. In addition, this change in the body, not always pleasant ... "Toshnotiki" edema, "bloom" on the face, dark spots, constant urge to "need for small, growing to incredible size of the stomach and ... New pounds.

Miraculous transformations
Weight gain during pregnancy - this is normal. The uterus increases tenfold - if pre-conception, she reminded the size of a fist, then the time of birth is more like a huge watermelon. Growing and heavier kid myself, add weight placenta, amniotic fluid, breast swelling and the natural reserve of fatty tissue that protects the crumbs. On average, this entire "set" by the end of pregnancy, weighs about 12-15 kilograms (with per baby, not twins). This increase attributable to important organs - the norm. During the week following the birth, most women lose a significant part of the weight that they added during the pregnancy. More 1,5-3 kg usually disappear within two months of breastfeeding ...
There are women who for the first nine months of swollen eyes and dial 20 and then 30 kilograms. Extra pounds that "halloo to one another" pain in the pelvis and legs, fatigue and varicose veins. Get rid of those extra (!) Pounds after giving birth too easy. Where they come from and how they do not "catch"? Enemy number 1 - insatiable appetite
During the turbulent hormonal changes a woman often loses control of his power - it draws you in fat and very high-calorie fast food, then the delicious eclairs. Dulled sense of fullness and the expectant mother is eating, not feeling the action. Also works old and totally justified stereotype - supposedly pregnant woman should eat for two. What nonsense! The kid is too young to "eat" full "adult" portion, and the doctors recommend to add to your normal daily diet in addition only 350 calories (and a little chocolate!) Only in the third trimester. Everything else is eaten over crumbs, to defer unnecessary ballast - completely useless and harmful for the baby for Mom and her body.
In order not to get too much, watch what you eat during the day. Ruthlessly remove sweets, flour and fat, as you would not want to regale themselves with such "delicacies." These products have absolutely no use for either you or for your baby. Choose only the really healthy food: fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and fish, dairy products, nuts and dried fruits. Discard the semis! Every time you type products in the store for dinner, think not about what you would now like to eat, and that it would be useful for the little man inside you. Do not drink sweet (read: calorie) drinks to quench your thirst. Choose a green and black tea, mineral water without gas, no shops juices, nectars, and the more carbonated "Pops"!
Do not eat at night. This habit threatens you restless sleep, heartburn (on the nuisance complaint, many pregnant women) and new pounds. Observe the time and food portions.  
Enemy number 2 - passive 

We all know that pregnancy and sports, intensive physical activity are incompatible. However, this does not justify the fact that many future moms are beginning to build a cult of incumbency on the couch. Pregnancy - is not a disease in which the prescribed bed rest! It is clear that running, jumping rope, or to "tap dance" to skate you can not. But there are other ways to improve your health - walking, walking, swimming, special yoga for pregnant women. They not only will save the shape of excessive roundness, but also make you a healthier baby - hardened and will satiate the body is very fit now with oxygen. Try to do morning exercises - pull-ups, slopes, some exercises for the arms, thighs and calves. At what everything should be done very carefully, listening to their feelings, "not through force." Desired habit - to pass the day about 4 kilometers.  

Enemy number 3 - edema
Kidney of a pregnant girl working for two, they are worse than do their job, it soon becomes noticeable - swollen fingers, hands, ankles ... Trusted funds from no such problem. Doctors are advised to only drink less (sometimes limited even 4 glasses of fluid every day) and remove from the table salt - it is this delay in the body the excess liquid, and hence the weight. She would not eat diuretics - they are strictly contraindicated in pregnant! 

And another important tip for those who wish to remain beautiful even with tum ... Love your body and take care of him! Use with 2-3 months of good cream for stretch marks, moisturizing cream and body scrub. From time to time arrange themselves shopping, and do not think that if you are pregnant, you are no longer a woman and you can forget about your appearance completely. Take the example of the "stars" in the state. Christina Aguilera, Angelina Jolie, Victoria Beckham - they all passed through exactly the same tests as you, but throughout all 9 months, still shone in front of lens frames perfection ... Stay feminine!
