I like play Wii and Wii Fit, just wondering whether its ok to use in pregnancy?

 

[stanleymama]

Yes of course it is

I'm 33+ weeks and use the Wii all the time. The worst part is Wii Fit making my mii look so heavy and in the "overweight" BMI - well of course, there are 2 of us standing on this board!

And I bet I look darn funny doing Dance Dance Revolution but it's my favorite.

I figure Wii Fit would be fine, but DH and I just got a snowboarding game (the Shaun White one) for our balance board right before we got our ++ and so of course that's the one I want to play! The problem is that you turn the board sideways and then have to twist at the middle to look toward the TV while you board. It gave me a terrible side ache the next day the two times I played it pre-pregnancy, so I figure it's probably not the safest thing now...but it's so fun! *sigh* I'm going to see if I can play it with the board facing the TV...maybe I could get used to that.

Try turning your board kind of on a diagonal. Like this: \ then you are kind of aligned, and only need to turn your head a little. This works ok for me, but I still can't play for a very long time.

I just read a tip about using the Wii Fit during pregnancy, so that it does not think you're gaining weight through overeating (etc.).

Quote:

before you take you Body Test, it will ask you what the weight of your clothing is. On the right side of the screen, there is the option for "Other." This will allow you to enter the custom weight of your clothing. So, if you can estimate the pregnancy weight gain, use the up and down buttons to enter "+[ESTIMATED WEIGHT GAIN]." The amount of weight it will allow you is limited, but it will work to an extent.

Yup, I'm still playing at 16 weeks! Gave up my DDR though to be on the safe side though...

Is the yoga part of Wii Fit still useful at all? If you thought it was in the first place, of course (I've heard some negative things about it).

I've only played Wii Fit once, and hadn't bothered to buy it since I got pregnant.

I totally registered for it on my baby registry!

Mostly for post partum exercise...
