The Pregnancy Journal

For those of you who may be interested, I've moved the major posts from the blog I kept during my last pregnancy. (Note that Baby Girl is now 2 years old!)

One of my goals as an aspiring Personal Trainer is to specialize in working with pregnant women. My hope is that by including this element in my blog, the reader can see that exercise is a completely safe and attainable element of a healthy pregnancy. (Although one should never begin a fitness routine in pregnancy without clearance from a doctor or midwife!) I copied and pasted the posts in the order I wrote them, so you can see the progression of my "baby belly" from beginning to end.

I've learned a lot about nutrition since I wrote these posts; and looking back, I realize that I was much too obsessive about the numbers on the scales. I also read back over posts and realize that I was "off" on some of my nutritional opinions at the time; but overall I had a very healthy and successful pregnancy, with a total weight gain of 29 lbs and a perfectly healthy 7lb. 8 oz baby girl to show for it.
