Pregnancy setting?

I was just wondering if there is a pregnancy setting for this app? I'm pregnant with #2 and I had preeclampsia with my first, so my midwife said to get between 75-100 g of protein a day (among other things) to help not get preeclampsia again. Hence the reason I downloaded the app, to track my protein intake. I'm getting more familiar with the app now, and find the calorie tracking useful, as well. I gained 72 pounds with #1, but 35 lbs of pure over eating were left over after my edema (swelling) had subsided. Anyways, the point is, since I'm pregnant, I know I'm going to gain weight, but is there a setting for pregnancy that I can get an accurate number of calories and other things I should be (generally) getting per day?

There isn't, sorry. +300 calories a day in the last 3 months is the suggested pregnancy adjustment I have seen from medics.

I have heard that, too, I just wondered if I could tailor the settings more accurately to me. Obviously if I put in that I want to gain weight, it will be different information than if I gain a healthy amount from pregnancy. Thank you for your reply, though.

My suggestion is set it to maintain your weight, the go to settings, set your own goals, and add 300 calories to whatever that number is. I think you can also change your macros in that area to whatever is suggested for you. Best of luck and congrats!
