Remaining healthy and physically fit during pregnancy can be challenging, especially for mothers juggling other commitments. Amy Westervelt shares her tips
Both of my pregnancies happened right around the time my latest health kick had really gotten into gear. There’s probably some correlation there, but at both times, I have to admit it was a little bit of a blow to transition from “All right, I fit into those jeans!” to “OK, my body’s gonna be a mess for the next two years.”
I know it sounds superficial, but I’m of the belief that it is completely possible to care about your own health – yes, including how your body looks – and that of your child’s at the same time. Also, I think we all need to stop pretending that pregnancy and childbirth don’t wreak havoc on your body. More on that later.
