Hi all
Just a little message to introduce myself. Im 21 and nearly 6 months pregnant. I know that being pregnant, it isnt a great idea to diet as such, but Im a little worried about gaining too much, and have found that the nutrition counters and meal options are really helping, I didnt realise just how poor my diet was before I downloaded this as an APP for my phone
Would love to chat to anyone in the same situation
Good luck to everyone

dieting while pregnant is bad!!!! eat healthy yes but dont worry about weight gain! a strenuous diet change can harm your baby! u should gain 25-35 lbs! please dont risk the health of your child! i ate right and everything and still have a special needs child, you dont want to be responsible for your childs harm. the weight will come off AFTER that baby is born!0

Eating healthy is great, but I would check with your doctor about losing weight while pregnant.0

thats what i tried to say... i know dieting is bad, but i dont want to gain excessively! I have gained about 8lb so far and im happy with that im just using this to keep track, make sure im getting plenty of everything in my diet I would never do anything to risk my baby, I have always wanted to be a mum
Thanks for the concern though guys xx0 -
Eating healthily is fine, and trying not to go crazy and pile on tons of weight (like I did - whoops) when pregnant is ok. Try not to get too obsessed with it though, and dont worry about losing weight until after bubs is born
Congrats on your pregnancy btw, and welcome to MFP0 -
Sounds like you're doing the right things to me. I've heard that 1 1/2 stone is the minimum you put on during pregnancy for a healthy baby, PLUS the baby's weight. Glad you're not sweating the weight gain but are trying to eat nutritionally better food. I'm doing this now in advance of trying for a baby. Hoping that I'll learn better nutritional habits, and try a wider variety of food and cooking, along side losing weight.0

@kirsty...good luck with the baby... have fun trying thats for sure :P (good exercise too :P)
I have always been worried about weight gain, but since being pregnant, I see it as a time out and if I want that extra chocolate ill take it, as long as the baby is getting what it needs first
Dreading giving birth as i know ill be straight back to panicing about getting back down But know damn well the baby will be worth it xx0 -
Congratulations on your pregnancy!! You're over halfway there!! Exciting times! Like others have said, healthy eating is best......for you and the baby. When I was first pregnant, I was just more aware. I used to drink a 6 pack of regular soda a day, and just stopped that completely (my own choice) and lost weight. The dr's office kept asking if I was sick....thankfully never got morning sickness, so was just a natural reaction. Sounds like you are doing great! Again congratulations!0
