Overweight and pregnancy

So stressed out about my weight. 
I was already overweight before becoming pregnant and had plans of doing a lot better and doing high intensity workouts etc to help get my weight down and now I feel like losing weight is out of the picture as a I am 6 weeks and 4 days pregnant. 
It’s already causing me back pain 
and I had a history of preeclampsia with my first pregnancy with huge swollen feet and aching legs. 
Anyone have any thing positive to add? I appreciate any insight

    Hey! Welcome! It would be lovely if you'd stop by the introductions thread and introduce yourself as well as change your username from knottie so your easier to differentiate from all the other knotties😉 also, this question would go well under "great big questions thread" and would most likely get more responses. We try to keep the board cleaned up and organized rather than having a lot of one off threads. I don't have experience with your exact scenario but I've gotten help from mamastrong for back pain. Check it out! She offers a bunch of "fix mes" for when we have pain in a specific area. There are also exercises safe for pregnancy. Even though loosing weight doesn't need to be a goal now, movement every day will keep the blood circulating to all your limbs. Mamastrong is $14/month with a free 2 week trial period and there's an app so you can do it from your phone! I get nothing from promoting itself program, I just love it so much and want other parents to have the benefits as well! Best of luck!

    I am over weight as well, this is my first but what I have to say is this. We are here, we are pregnant there's nothing we can do to change our weight at this time. But what we can do is make good choices like incorporating more fruits, veggies and fiber and even just daily walks. Simple changes. It's a blessing to have a child growing inside of you as everyone is not so lucky. Just try to focus on the good (even though it can be hard) and let's just hope 4 the best! We got this sis!
