Staying healthy while pregnant

I'm about 6 1/2 months pregnant, so my exercise has slowed down trimendously, but I haven't stopped. I've been walking for at least 30 minutes three times a week, once the sun goes down. The last month of my pregnancy (September). I plan to up my walking to 4-5 days a week. This is because I want to have a planned delivery and I want her to just be ready to come when they induce me.

I'm still eating healthy I eat plenty of fresh fruits daily. Since I've been pregnant, the only meat that I've been interested in eating is hamburger and chicken here and there. The only downfall in my diet is potatoes. I can eat any type of potato whether it's fries or mashed potatoes. As a result of this, I think my glucose levels are higher than the should be. I had to go in for a three hour testing last week and get blood drawn...that sucked...

As soon as this baby comes, I'll be working myself back up to my regular work out routine.
