Just found out I'm pregnant at the weekend, early days though as only missed AF on Friday.
I'm a bit overweight at the minute, not massively (5'8 size 14-16). For my wedding last year I lost 2.5 stone, with Xmas followed by some work stress in the new year I've out about 1.5 of that back on, following by an indulgent holiday a couple of weeks ago I'm feeling a bit gross.
I didn't expect to get pregnant right away and had sort of stopped trying before we'd even started but turns out I was already pregnant.
So I thought Id spend the next month or so losing a bit of weight then baby time.
Ive been to the gym regularly these past few months, though not super fit I enjoy spin, Pilates, etc.
we have just told both sets of parents so far, but both DM, MIL and DH were horrified when I said I was going to spin this week. Normally they aren't that precious about these things, so do you think I'm being reckless?
When I went in Saturday (before I knew) I did feel a little off but put that down to not going for 2 weeks.
Also, I'm worried that the midwife etc will make a big deal of my weight as my BMI is 31 at the min.
My own GP assured me previously that although I read heavy on the scales he isn't concerned as I don't have high fat %, exercise, eat well.
Anything sweet is turning my stomach at the min anyway (even fruit) and I am on a healthy eating mission, not dieting but slimming world type/non processed meat and veg salad type meals. Still eating enough calories, so don't flame me for undereating
