I gained weight with my oldest son's pregnancy while on bed rest for pre-eclampsia, lost it without much issue because I have always been a runner in the past. Gained the same weight with my youngest, but the pregnancy coincided with some serious lung issues that took 3 years to get my lungs functioning well enough to exercise again. Because of the damage caused to my lungs- instead of running I have been focusing on controlled cardio. My new bylaw has become that if my breathing gets heavy I'm doing it wrong. May seem contradictory, but it's working without landing me in the ER so I'm sticking to it!
