BMI

My BMI is in the overweight range. So, that means, according to the doctor and ALL the books I've read, I should only gain 15 pounds during this pregnancy. This does scare me a little being an overweight preggo woman. Automatically it means that my labor may be more difficult for me. What does that mean for me?? EXERCISE!!

I haven't had a lot of lately, but I need to go back and find my groove. I'm going to check out the local indoor pool tomorrow. Since it is an indoor pool, it means I can swim all throughout winter time. Swimming has always been said as one of the best forms of exercise for pregnant women. Why? Mainly because you'll be able to work out without the pressure on all the joints. I find it very relaxing and rejuvenating. So I'm going to try and implement an exercise program into my everyday routine, whether it be walking or swimming. Wish me luck!
