I found this app because I was looking for something to help me regulate. I gained 60 pounds with my first child and REALLY don't want to do that again :-) Im also looking for an encouraging place to find answers ![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)

Ha, I am in the same boat! I gained about 60 with my first kid and carried the extra weight around for over a year. I have finally got down to my ideal weight and an healthy BMI. I am pregnant again and hope that with this site I will gain the 20-30lbs and not the 60 like I did before!0

I gained nearly that much with my first, also. I'm not pregnant again yet, but I'm hoping that next time around, I won't do that again.
You might want to check out one of these two topics:
For people looking for general pregnancy support and not wanting to gain too much: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/305078-pregnancy-august-2011
For people who are VERY active and want to maintain that level while pregnant: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/305268-fit-fabulous-and-pregnant-august-2011
Best of luck to you, and congrats!
Edit: Did you know that you can log "eating for pregnancy" in your food diary, and it will add in the extra calories you should consume while pregnant?0 -
Thanks for the websites!! I didn't know that about the diary and will go edit it now.
I've carried around my extra weight for 2 1/2 years and never got back downi'm hoping this will keep me balanced during this pregnancy and back down after...of course that will be April of next year so I've got a while to go

I seem to not be getting the gist of the eating for pregnancy thing. Can I blame it on baby brain yet???
Do I add it in as a food or somewhere on my profile??0 -
Write it is as if it were a food, it will give you the extra 300 calories0
