Molly Ringwald: Prenatal Diet and Exercise
Molly Ringwald is on the cover of this month’s issue of Fit Pregnancy. The 41-year-old actress already has a five-year-old daughter, but now she is expecting twins. During the interview she spoke about making healthy choices while pregnant. When asked if she was reluctant to workout since she was carrying twins she admitted that she has scaled her routine down but that she is still quite active. She explained,
“I was in the beginning. I wanted to wait until everything felt very secure. I’ve worked out a little bit, but I can’t say I have gone crazy with it. I’ve done yoga and been walking, but no weightlifting. Having a 5-year-old keeps you busy and active no matter what. The priority for me has been resting and making sure everything is progressing along. I try to eat right and be sane about it. I know my body will come back.”
Molly also advised first-time moms to continue exercising and to eat right:
“Every woman is different and has her own experience, but it’s important to eat right and take care of yourself. You don’t need to run a marathon but don’t stop working out if it feels good. You have to listen to your own body. And trust that you can give birth.”
As for Molly’s diet, during this second pregnancy her cravings are much healthier in comparison to her first pregnancy. She said,
“Interestingly, when I was pregnant with Mathilda, I wanted Mexican food all the time. This time around I want Japanese food, which is a lot better. It’s kept my weight down and is definitely a better craving to have. I also want anything with water in it like cucumbers, watermelon and orange juice. The only thing that I can’t stand is the smell of eggs. It’s hard because eggs are one of my daughter’s culinary staples and she is a picky eater, so I am making scrambled eggs all the time.”
Molly Ringwald currently stars in the show, The Secret Life of the American Teenager.
