    I am not sure there is a pregnancy option. I think you would just have to log the ups and the downs. I use an app called Happy Scale that has a graph of my ups and downs. That might be something to look into to go along with this.

    Get advice from your OB/GYN then adjust your MFP settings per their direction.

    You would take your maintenance cals and macros and add 100 cals the first trimester, 200 the second and 300 the third. Of course your maintenance cals will differ as to whether or not you are able to continue working out. I am currently 30 weeks pregnant and am 5'5", my pre-pregnancy weight was 155. so I took my numbers from there. I am currently at 2100 for my third trimester and am gaining around .5-1 pound a week which is healthy. Our bodies are all different though and do strange things. Some weeks I won't gain anything and others I gain more. It all evens out in the end and water intake and swelling will ultimately effect it.
