The genetics and habit of seizing all the sadness with cookies once led to the fact that I found a terrible figure on the scales, after which I realized that I could not continue like this. She took herself in hand, lost 20 kg in a year, kept herself in shape for about a year, and then ... got pregnant. Feelings were mixed.

Food
The main mistake that most people makepregnant women - from the very first months they begin not only to eat for two, but also simply everything indiscriminately.
