Life style changes!

in August 2016 Moms
Now that you know you are pregnant, what are the everyday changes u made or trying to make.

For me-
1. Trying to sleep on sides, I used to sleep on my stomach.
2. Healthier food, more of fruits and veggies

What about you ?

    No changes except for cutting out alcohol. I'll start a prenatal as soon as I can get to the store.

    @mrskal You can sleep on your tummy until at least 15-18 weeks.

    I'm trying to cut back on my high intensity cardio workouts, limit caffeine intake (which really sucks!) and obviously, I've cut out alcohol.

    I'm already a side sleeper and I cut out alcohol about a month ago. I have been on prenatals since we started TTC. I have definitely improved my diet and I have quit CrossFit and started doing yoga instead.  I did (sadly) cut out sushi, my favorite food. And I miss eggs with runny yolks and medium rare steaks.

    Nothing really. Since ttc I changed my lifestyle to reflect how I would be while pregnant. Was already on prenatal vitamins, don't drink caffeine or alcohol. Only thing is I am trying to monitor my hot baths and shower. Making sure they aren't too warm and raising my body temperature to high.

    I've been sleeping on my side and taking prenatals since my last pregnancy. So nothing really is a big change for me. Although, I will probably work on lowering my caffeine intake.

    I didn't know about monitoring the shower part,
    Thanx, will keep a check now on!

    I need to eat better and move around a ton more. (Not strenuously of course) I'm a bit of a couch potato (understatement) so definitely need to get a little more in shape to keep up with baby.

    @misspuppychow, how long had you been doing CrossFit before you quit to do yoga?  Just curious. 

    No huge life changes here yet, besides the obvious ones (no alcohol, start a prenatal, etc).

    @candypantsls, I did CrossFit for a little over 2 years! I can't wait to go back after baby is born. I would just have too many limitations that it's not worth it to keep going. I have more limitations than most because I'm at a high-risk for miscarriage, IUGR, and preterm labor.

    I'm 35 and pregnant with our first baby. My life style changes are as follows since finding out we are expecting:

    1. No alcohol consumption
    2. Limited caffeine intake
    3. Eating organic fruits & veggies
    4. Cut back on processed meats
    5. Listening to my body when it says rest
    6. Walking a lot more

    @misspuppychow, totally gotcha.  I was going to encourage you to keep doing it (I did it through my last pregnancy!) but then I saw you were high-risk and I totally get it!  Yoga will be an awesome change of pace and kudos to you for staying in shape and taking care of yourself.

    I'm trying to get back into a yoga routine, and eat more fruit and veggies, cut back on coffee, and up my water intake. But i really miss wine!
