I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
You're right, you have to stop for your baby. you are now responsible for someone other than yourself, who is helpless against what you do to yourself.
Please talk to your doctor ASAP, get yourself on track. I'm so happy you were able to GET preggo. All the girls in my group have either a 25% chance of conceiving or less. So we are happy you conceived, but PLEASE, get some help.
This is no longer about you, and what you can or cannot control. This is about the baby.
I'm not trying to be rude, so please don't take offense, but you are SO lucky you conceived. So please try your hardest to get yourself help.
What kind of recovery do you have right now? And are you taking supplements & vitamins? Have you talked to your doc about possible complications? How is your heart?
I have so many questions...Please google recovery in your area, and good luck.You & your baby are in my heart & prayers.

I will tell you a little story. I had a friend who was anorexic, but became severely bulimic during her pregnancy. Her baby came out several weeks early, jaundiced, by c-section. After seeing the way her mother refuses food for the first few years of her life, she started refusing food and when her mother tried to force feed her, she would scream so loud that she actually broke a hole in her esophagus. Now they have regular visits to the doctor, who tells them that the hole is getting bigger, while her daughter is slipping into the severely underweight category for children her age.
That was meant to sober you up with what you're doing, despite the fact that I know that it's not a choice. The choice, however, is whether you get treatment to save your life and your baby's.
