A great start

2003-06-13
My husband and I are thinking about getting pregnant. I wanted to know about exercise and have enjoyed "Fit" magazine. I thought the articles were interesting and helpful but would have liked to see more actually about fitness. There was some nutrition and exercise information but I would have liked to see more. Great place for "to-be" mom's to get ideas. If or when it happens, I'll definitely get a subscription.

I love this magazine.

I read Fit Pregnancy all through my first two pregnancies, and now I'm reading it again the third time around. The health and fitness articles are great--very thorough. I agree with the other reviewers about fashion, since that's not a big deal for me. But the rest of the articles make up for it. I learn something new (and important) every time I read an issue. I just wish it was a monthly magazine, instead of bi-monthly.

Waste of time

2002-08-14
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 love Fitness, and Self, and all of those healthy magazine choices because they're packed with information on a fit and healthy lifestyle. When I got pregnant, I thought Fit Pregnant would be a nice substitute for these. Very wrong.

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.

One of the Better 2002-04-26
Of all the Pregnancy magazines I have read, this seemed to have a lot of information, good easy workouts and some healthy meals to make.

Still Waiting - Hope to get one issue before the baby arrives 2008-07-14
Most of the these reviews are a few years old and complain of waiting months for the first issue. Well, not much has changed. I ordered this for my wife 2 weeks after she found out she was pregnant and she is now almost 20 weeks! I should have looked at the reviews first. I think the main problem might be since it's every other month, they wait till the next issue is published, rather than send you the current issue. Still waiting!

Not about fitness 2008-03-31
As an avid exceriser and former fitness instructor hungry for real information about mainitaining fitness during pregnancy, I was very hopeful about this magazine. Unfortunately, it is as vague and basic in its fitness advice as most other parenting/baby magazines, and focuses mainly on fashion, baby gear, and pregnant celebrities. I have found it very frustrating that there is so little concrete advice for future mothers out there - you would expect a magazine with this title to have more than the occasional short blurb on walking for fitness or two-paragraph article on the benefits of prenatal yoga (with no specifics, of course). I'm about to deliver, and have had to figure out the fitness thing on my own...this magazine was no help.

I would not order this magazine from this site. Ordered 2 months ago and still have not received yet. Not satisfied with turn around time.

Ad Cravings 2006-11-16
If you crave ads and places to buy nice babystuff this is a great magazine. most of the information you can find in a good pregnancy book though. so it's kind of repeating where i've already gone.

So not worth it 2004-02-18
Subscription service assistants for this magazine are pathetic. I paid for my subscription when I submitted my order, yet they suspended my account while "waiting for payment". They have yet to deliver my first issue, and I'm sure I won't even need it by then. There are better magazines out there, and this one isn't one of them. I recommend saving your time and money and avoiding Shape's FitPregnancy.
