What if Im pregnant

Kst76

What do I do know?

I have this weight loss goal in mind and things are going great. However, I might be pregnant. If I am that would be wonderful if the pregnancy last more than 15 weeks this time. I had a son 6 years ago and I gained 60 pounds. I lost it all again.

If I am pregnant now without complications, I do not want to gain "fat" weight. I only want to gain the necessary 15-25 pounds and not a bunch of extras. How do I do that safetly?

Can I still eat at TDEE - 20% , so at a weigh loss, and still be safe? Or do I need to eat at maintenance?

Thanks

hey...dont worry ..even i am trying to conceive.....in my case i had my son 2 years back and since than i am trying to lose my baby weight...about having second child i hold the thought for long time ,because i wanted to loose as much as i can but had only manage to lose half of it ...so now i guess i couldnt delay it any longer..so now i am trying....

So i started my research ...my suggestion ....if you are pregnant walking is best to manage weight also try not to binge on "cravings",you only need 300 more cal when having a baby...i read many articles saying obese women can manage to gain only 15-20 pounds by eating clean and a little exercise...also exercise only after doctor consult...i am already obese and this is the scariest thing for me ...but we will be ok..and if it helps i am 185 pounds already.

There is a group on MFP all about pregnancy and staying healthy. You should look for it.

First, pick up a pregnancy test, that way you'll know whether you have to worry about this at all. If you are pregnant, then eat at maintenance + 300. Don't eat below maintenance.
