Fit Pregnancy

First, it is mostly ads for baby stuff, rather than resources for the pregnant woman today.

Second, it is full of the same 'paint your nursery the color of the month' fluff that all of the other pregnancy magazines are made of, but with less expertise to back up their visuals.

Third, it is a very slim magazine that only comes bi-monthly - or at least, I assume it does - I have not seen one for three months or so. I placed my order when I was 6 weeks pregnant. Now I'm 22 weeks and I've only receieved one issue in the mail. Seems like my baby will be walking by the time the subscription is done. (At which point I don't imagine I'll be too interested in which starlette has morning sickness.)

Finally, they seem to feature a trimester at a time. This seems useful, but it can be frustrating to when it is not your trimester.

Buy Fitness Pregnancy and skip this nonsense.

fit pregnancy should not be the proper name for this magazine. it should be called fashion pregnancy because all they focus on is fashion. i have never seen so many ads for baby stuff and maternity clothes ! i was very disappointed about the advice and the lack of excersise help in this magazine. they dont even help you eat healthy because the models look so good in their maternity clothes that it actually makes you depressed and since they hardly have healthy recipes it makes you feel like turning to junk food imediately. i do not recommend this magazine while pregnant, it just sat in my magazine rack till i got rid of it after delivery. =(

I sent off for this magazine when I heard that I was pregnant and was so excited to receive it. I am now almost 5 months pregnant and have to date still not received the magazine as it takes 12 to 16 weeks for the first issue to get to you. What also amazes me is that the subscription is for 12 months but a pregnancy only lasts 9 months and by the time I get my first issue - I will only be pregnant for another 4 months. Surely the sebscription should be for 6 months and there shouldn't be such a long waiting period.

I'm 9 months pregnant and have received 5 issues of this magazine. Only 2 of the issues had any exercise and fitness related articles in them at all. This is primarily a "fashion" magazine, so if you are looking for fitness, this is not the magazine you want.


Fun while you are pregnant, but...   October 29, 2001

This magazine is fun to look at while you are pregnant. I personally couldn't afford most of the clothing but a girl can dream, right? The information they give you isn't anything I didn't already know. Another thing- I wasn't fond of the fact that they make you feel like you had to buy all the baby stuff that's out there to function with your new babe (which you don't!), but I guess that's the point!
