Pregnancy Without Pounds Posted: 10-18-05 11:51am
Hi I am looking online at the "pregnancy
without pounds" kit that you can get
online. I am wondering if anyone has
bought it and used it and how well it
worked for them... Please let me know :)

I've never heard of it but it does not
sound like the safest way to manage your
pregnancy. Women are supposed to put on
weight during pregnancy for very important
developmental reasons. You cannot hope
to have a healthy pregnancy or resulting
child without gaining weight. And, it is
not as the weight that you gain will be
with you forever. With proper diet and
an exersize routine after childbirth (and
hopefully you'll choose to breastfeed),
there's no need to fear pregnancy weight.
Both of my sisters returned to their
pre-pregnancy weights and sizes after
giving birth. My anorexic cousin, who
was already freaked out about gaining any
weight at all, had a horrible, painful
pregnancy followed by a stillbirth because
she refused to gain the necessary weight.
It's normal and natural to gain weight
during pregnancy and it is not a sign that
you are letting yourself go or that you
are becomming "fat". I would highly
discourage anything that your doctor does
not fully endorse for you to try during
pregnancy.

Yes I agree. I know all this. What
pregnancy without pounds is to manage your
weight and exercise and eating healthy.
It has nothing to do with me not wanting
to gain any weight. I cant wait for that
its how to do it healthy. Look it up

Expect to gain at least 30lbs. The baby
alone w/ amniotic fluids can weigh up to
13lbs. Imagine that, and 13lb weight loss
at birth!! Look at the positive side :)

i know I will be gaining a lot of weight I
dont care about that. If you look at the
website it tells about all the "right
weight" to gain and how to manage your
weight while your pregnant. Im not
worried if I gain 60 lbs I just am asking
if anyone has used to pregnancy without
pounds because I want to gain it for the
right reasons not because I am indulging
myself.

This seems too cookie-cutter to be right.
You might want to try talking to your
doctor. Chances are, this thing is
inaccurate, more complicated than needed,
and a waste of money. Your doctor will
know your body (and with your help, can't
go wrong) and what to do. Most times it's
just as simple as continuing your daily
rituals of exercise. Like my sister
"plays" on the tennis team, she runs a bit
to keep up her body; that kind of stuff
she can keep up and it will help maintain
her weight.
As to eating the right stuff, talk to your
doctor or a dietician, they have different
ideas than internet shops. It's like if
you go to a clothing store, looking for a
certain shirt or something. They're not
going to concentrate on your needs,
they're going to try to sell their
product.
