You are doing the right thing by trying to get more fit before you get pregnant. :) You can do it- you certainly have a great motivation! It's not like your baby is a little clone of your body or something though. Man, that would be a ton of pressure, eh?<BR/><BR/>I kept teaching step class through my pregnancies. Most doctors now encourage you to continue with your fitness programs and with healthy eating (though probably not dieting). Good luck!JanetM97https://www.blogger.com/profile/06704326748184294928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181106714206176645.post-62354016728980650122009-02-05T11:18:00.000+11:002009-02-05T11:18:00.000+11:00@Skinny - I was 35 when we married too.

I'm so sorry you had to go through the miscarriages though, that must have been hard. <BR/><BR/>@Hanlie - "</I>studies have shown that children born to obese mothers will be obese teenagers<I>" that's what really scares me and has always been behind my goals to get in a healthy place and have a healthy attitude towards food before considering having kids. I just never considered the possibility I'd start to run out of time this way. My Doc said not to leave trying any later than age 35 to start. <BR/><BR/>I'm paranoid I'll pass on my disordered eating to my kids. Heck, I stress enough if our cats start getting chubby.<BR/><BR/>I'm 36 now, if I stay on track I'll be about to hit 37 when I get to my conception target weight and can start trying. I won't have gotten back to my wedding day weight and I won't be near goal but I should have a good amount of healthy eating under my belt and *with hope and luck* have dealt with many of my food/emotional issues. I know I won't be able to do it alone though and have always planned that I'd return regularly to a dietician and counsellor when I consider getting pregnant.<BR/><BR/>Scares me silly - I've a lot to do and a lot resting on it</I>ani pestohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04634396778826130881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181106714206176645.post-36987346229986491432009-02-05T06:55:00.000+11:002009-02-05T06:55:00.000+11:00You know what I think, right?

The genetic material that your child inherits from you is a snapshot of your health at pregnancy. Furthermore, studies have shown that children born to obese mothers will be obese teenagers and adults. And those small kids who get cancer? That's because of the parents' lifestyle factors...<BR/><BR/>I would recommend getting under 100kg, being relatively fit and eating a very natural diet. That's what I'm doing and I'm turning 40 this year. As much as I want children, I want the best for them, so I'll delay conception until I'm comfortable that my body is balanced and healthy. <BR/><BR/>If you want to know more about why we should prepare for pregnancy, read this http://www.fertilehealthy.com/blog/2008/12/12/preparing-for-pregnancy/Hanliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16476650601531649816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181106714206176645.post-75228001497449965322009-02-04T22:44:00.000+11:002009-02-04T22:44:00.000+11:00Hi Ani, I wanted to share a synopsis of my story t...Hi Ani, I wanted to share a synopsis of my story to let you know you're not alone, and to stop worrying!:-) We married when I was 35, so I was pretty worried about my time window of fertility. I was also concerned about my weight, because all the stuff you read, you know? So, I was *trying* to lose weight...seems like most of my last 10 years have been spent trying... Anyhow, we got pregnant right away. It ended up being an empty egg sack, though. Nothing to do with my weight, perhaps with my age, though...who knows. We tried again, and I had another miscarriage, but the third time was a charm. Depending on your age, I would say go ahead and try! Also, you can check out a great website, google Plus Size Pregnancy, to ease your fears! (((hugs)))Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898449619934611236noreply@blogger.com
