Today I supported my mental health by taking a walk outside (down the driveway to my in-laws and back) and we all needed and enjoyed it. I realize that it is just as important to support myself and make sure I take care of me too so I can be the best mom I can for my kids. It was such a beautiful day for it and it definitely lifts my spirits being outside in the fresh air. Now we just need a stroller fan and a stroller that she will be able to sit up in because I have the car seat one with just the base not the travel system. MotherhoodSupportMatters

I’m glad you guys were able to enjoy some fresh air! It’s so nice to get out and walk! We try to get two walks in a day when possible. I am determined to lose this pregnancy weight that I’ve been holding on to 
One in the morning in a big circle around the neighborhood. The second one we take is in the evening to the park. My daughter loves being outside. It definitely puts us in a good mood too! I hope you’re able to find a good stroller and fan!

Not gaining too much weight breastfeeding is my main goal so the walking helps with that as well. I’m glad yall are able to get out and enjoy the fresh air too it really makes a difference!

It is so easy to overeat when you breastfeed! Im eating more than I ever have in my life. Don’t believe the lie that fat will fall off quickly from breastfeeding

No it will not!! I was always skinny after having a baby because I was on a strict diet for gestational diabetes but I gain weight breastfeeding because I’m always so hungry and I make up for the sweets I couldn’t eat pregnant

I’m sorry you went through gestational diabetes. That sounds pretty rough. I’d be making up for the missed sweets too!

That sounds like fun! I really want the tuckgo stroller. It looks so nice! Does it fit a full size diaper bag backpack underneath by chance? Check out the stroller cooling pad they make too. I ordered one last week for the summer

It wasn’t too bad I started the diet as soon as I found out I was pregnant and didn’t have to do the glucose test this time because I failed by checking my sugars before my first visit and my sugar was 215 in early pregnancy for having a slice of cake on my birthday and when I told the dr that he said you automatically fail and don’t have to do the drink but I was diet controlled and my baby was perfectly healthy so it was worth it!

Thank you it was a gorgeous day and we sure enjoyed it
Like you said, as much as it sucks, it’s a great way to stay healthy and keep your baby healthy being on that kind of diet. I think it would make more sense for all pregnant women go on a healthy diet like that. I wonder how much diet affects a baby in utero
