  • Hi! I was wondering the same when I found out I was pregnant. I just talked to my doctor and got his recommendation (which is best obviously) but I found this online calculator that will give you estimates based on your pre-pregnancy weight, height, and activity levels. And it breaks it down by trimester! Which I thought was cool!

    Hope that helps! And CONGRATS! :-)
