Primal newb & pregnant in the middle of a cornfield page

[mamagault]

Hi all! I'm gault's wife, affectionately called "mama" around the home, but you can call me Amy.

I started eating Primal about 3-4 days ago, when the changes in my dh became obvious. As he mentioned, he no longer snores so badly it keeps me awake at night - something I've only rarely experienced in almost 14 years. He also was more energetic & in a better mood.

Enough about him. I'm 32.5 weeks pregnant with our 6th son. So, this is a pretty big change so late in the game. This pregnancy has been a rougher one for me. I've had high blood pressure (for me, although it is textbook perfect). I've been tireder and had more all-around issues than all but my 4th pregnancy (had an emergency appendectomy @ 13 weeks). The biggest thing was how I felt after eating. That was really the biggest motivator to start now & not in 6-8 weeks after I have the baby. I ate a PB meal & didn't feel yucky! Then, in an effort not to waste good, finished up some cold cereal with the boys. Awful morning. A "clean" lunch was a much better experience. So, after that, I've not looked back.

So, only 3-4 days in, and I'm already looking forward to when I have the baby. I'm hoping for an easier recovery. Although I started the pregnancy at an acceptable weight, and even had built some good core strength from Pilates, I am basically unfit. I can't wait to see what a PB lifestyle will do for me!

Hi Amy. Welcome!

[mamagault]

I have to add that my latest bp reading yesterday at my OB was 110/60. I haven't seen that number in 2.5 years, when I was pregnant with #5 (or at least that I know of, since I don't monitor bp when I'm not preggo). I stopped taking Claritin last night & woke up no worse than the nights when I was taking it, plus my eyes weren't as puffy.

Now, if I could just stop having contractions, I think I could take on the world. I'm definitely looking forward to resuming Pilates and adding in some walking as soon as I am "cleared" after baby.

Congratulations! I sure wish I'd know about this when I was pregnant and having babies. Yay for healthy moms and babies. Good luck to you!

congratulations!!! My blood pressure went down after I started doing primal. If I go off and eat junk its right back up and I'm taking meds again. Glad you're on board!! Welcome!!
