I am pregnant with my 3 rd baby. I have always gained 35 lbs with my other pregnancies. I lost it all after the first, with the second I kept on 5-10 lbs which for me is a lot I am 5'1. I am up 16 lbs so far. Trying to eat healthy and cut out the junk. It's hard! Especially when my body wants cookies a lot :-/. I have a umbilical hernia so I am not allowed to do my spin classes anymore , just walking.

I anyone want to be friends ? I need all the help and support I can get.

    Hello there!

    I'm 30 weeks with my first :smile: Feel free to add me if you'd like. I'm still exercising, but some days I have to take it easy. When I get closer to my due date, I'll probably just walk a lot (if I can handle it) :wink:

    Hi! I'm 22 weeks with my first. I'm also having trouble staying away from the junk food and getting in enough exercise. It's tough balancing everything!

    Hi! I'll be 27 weeks to tomorrow, and this is my third. My other two are 4.5 and 2.5.

    I exercised with my first and still put on weight, didn't exercise with my 2nd and put on loads, and then lost loads, so I started off this pregnancy smaller than I started my first.

    I've exercised throughout, usually 4 times a week, and still do step aerobics, Zumba, aerobics and gym sessions. I've done spinning a few times too and plan to attempt it next week.

    My eating is generally pretty good. I felt really nauseous up to 14 weeks so my food was a bit all over the place. I didn't go over calories, but I didn't always eat the best things to get those calories, because I just ate what I could.

    I aim for 1800 calories a day now and I let myself have a treat at the weekend, so I don't eat junk in the week. Today I've made some caramel slices for my treat!
