Not new- but now pregnant

Options
Hi! I am currently pregnant (14 weeks) with my 3rd child. I have twins who just turned 2 last week. I managed to only gain 3 pounds during my first trimester and would like to keep my overall weight gain around 15-20 pounds. I am overweight to begin with- mostly from twin pregnancy. I gained 88 pounds with the boys and only lost around 30 pounds due to some crazy stress eating. I want to make sure I don't go crazy with this baby. I am trying to eat well and exercise and am looking for some friends who either are pregnant or are just awesome and supportive! Thanks!

    I'm currently pregnant with my third baby as well. I've got about 2 more weeks to go. I have only gained about 15 pounds over the course of this pregnancy and I'm sure it's because of the healthy habits I adopted while trying to lose weight last year. I set my calories to maintenance but didn't obsess about sticking to that goal. I focused on listening to my body and ate whenever I was hungry. I logged once a week or so and found that for the most part I was having a little trouble eating enough. I didn't force myself though. My baby is huge, she's been measuring 2-2 1/2 weeks ahead for the last 10 weeks or so, so I know she's growing just fine.
