    Congrats! I ate maintanence calories in the first trimester and upped to to gain 1/2lb per week in the second. I'm not sure yet if I'll increase more in the third, probably not.

    I just found out as well. I changed my setting on MFP to "maintenance", which automatically upped my calories from 1300 to over 1700. WOWZER!! I then read you should increase another 300 in the 2nd trimester and another 450 in the 3rd. PPS has it right..you could change your setting to gain 1/2 a pound...whatever ups the calories the correct amount.
