Hi mamas-- we're all building new lives and I'd love to hear how you're eating and why. Any specific supplements? How about favorite exercise or activities, especially during the exhausting first trimester.
I'm pooped and can't exercise a full hour, but I put in a Physique 57 DVD about 4 times a week and do what I can. I love all the plies because they are so good for the pelvic floor.
As far as diet, I try to follow the Brewer diet, but I am experiencing a carb-attack and can't get my mind off pasta! But fresh fruit and eggs are extra delicious to me right now, so I eat them daily.
I take 1 TBSP of coconut oil and 1 TBSP gelatin in a cup of herbal tea each day to boost my protein and fat intake. I had heard somewhere that gelatin boosts amniotic fluid levels so I took it my last pregnancy. I also have high hopes it helps my skin stretch gently then bounce right back into place.
Any tips/tricks for getting in some physical activity and nourishment?
