Thank you for pointing me to the article Amchha!

Hi everyone! I am due June 3rd myself. Finally feeling better and cannot wait to find out on Friday what we are having! :-)

YAY!! So glad to see all the new folks and some conversation flowing @Amanda, I'm totally loving my baby bump this time around. I was at a very different point in life with my first two babies. This time I'm at SAHM, so relaxing! No worries from the professional standpoint. So I posted yesterday that I was having what I thought must be "round ligament pain" but yesterday I realized, no this achiness is much too low (right above my pubic bone.) Plus I could get no relief from it at all, it didn't matter what position I was in it was just a low, consistent, dull ache/pressure. So I decided to call the Dr's office and get an appt for today. Glad I did, cause sure enough pain wasn't normal, turns out I have the beginnings of a bladder infection! UGH! DIdn't have any normal burny sensations while peeing, nothing that would have clued me in that that's what it was. Although my midwife told me that was normal to not have the usual symptoms while pregnant. She also told me my lack of water drinking definitely contributed to this. I went this evening to get my antibiotic filled. So lesson learned, I will just have to force down those 8 glasses of water a day. And for anyone else dealing with any lower abdominal pain, it may not be due to uterine growth!!

Hello again. I found the answer to my question about how to set up the Goals page to show calcium, vitamin C and iron to be more than 100% of the daily recommended value (referred to DV in MFP speak). See the entry from Scott on the MFP staff on Sept. 3, 2012 from the following post: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/492706--dv-of-calcuim?hl=dv#posts-10704023. To sum up MFP's response, "Daily Value percentages are based on a 2,000 calorie diet for a healthy adult [as outlined by the FDA.]"

Therefore, the following 100% DVs are calculated for every user on MFP:
Calcium = 1,000 mg
Vitamin C = 60 mg
Iron = 18 mg

For pregnant women, WebMD recommends:
Calcium = 1,000 to 1,300 mg
Vitamin C = 70 mg
Iron = 27 mg

Given these nutrition guidelines for pregnant women, I updated the Goals section of MFP to reflect the following DV percentages:
Calcium = 130% DV
Vitamin C = 117% DV
Iron = 150% DV

I hope this information is helpful to everyone.

Thank you for posting this - it has been driving me batty calculating it on the side but this was exactly what I was looking for!

Thought I'd add myself to the list here! I'm due mid June with baby #4. I have one boy and this will be our 3rd girl. I lost 40 lbs before getting pregnant with MFP and was in the healthy BMI range for the first time since junior high. Our other kids took at least a year or more to conceive due to PCOS but this one surprised us by only taking 2 months. (Being healthy has its great benefits!) I've never worked out while preggo before but this time I'm trying really hard to keep it up. I do Zumba a couple times a week. I was weight lifting at night before but now I'm just too exhausted for that between the pregnancy and chasing after 3 kids all day.

Hello everyone ! I am new to this group. A little about myself, I am 32 years old , due June 24th. I am currently 18 weeks...I have gained 10 lbs. My goal weight gain is about 25 lbs. My doctor said that was fine. I am getting very nervous considering I have already gained 10 and I still have 4 1/2 more months to go. I have heard alot of people say most of the weight gain is in the end. I am happily married and we have a 13 year old son. We just found out that we are having another boy! We couldn't be happier. I will definitely be out numbered in the house. lol. I am hoping for a simple, but healthy pregnancy and delivery

Hello everyone! I'm Due June 30th with my 3rd baby. I'm 18 +2 weeks along. Feel free to add me

Congrats on your baby girl! We find out tomorrow and I'm soooooo excited! I have read all the old wives tales and it seems 50/50 LOL! My last check up I had gained 6.5lbs (at 17 weeks) I'm watching what I eat as well as I can but do cave sometimes. I just try to tell/ask myself does the baby NEED this???

That was 6.5lbs all together over the 17weeks My last check up (on Monday at week 21 1/2)I gained an extra 4lbs! So now I'm up 10.5lbs. I think we went through a growth spurt in weeks 19 & 20 ;p ps. Its a BOY We are not telling anyone the name we have picked out. Any other mothers feel the same way about the name???

We haven't even told anyone our baby's gender, so we're obviously keeping name choices to ourselves. I'm a couple days shy of 25 weeks and have gained 20lbs so far. My next appt is next week so I guess we'll see what the Dr's office has me at. They have my gain as less since I didn't go in until I was about 10 weeks along. Anyone else having any Braxton Hicks yet? I dunno if b/c it's my 4th pregnancy or what, but I have had a lot more with this baby than either of my others. And so early too...I think I'll mention it to Dr.

Long time reader, first time poster! I'm due June 15th with my 1st and it's a boy! (and not shy about showing it). I lost about 20lbs prior to becoming pregnant and am trying to keep my weight gain in check during pregnancy. I have a couple of questions:
1) I've had a pretty steady appetite during the second trimester (first trimester I didn't get sick at all and had a HUGE appetite) but during the last week have been STARVING (even waking up during the night starving), really sleepy and have gained more weight than usual. Could this be a baby growth spurt? Does this even happen?
2) Is anyone tracking their weight on MFP (I hate that I can't put some kind of "pregnancy" disclaimer and then log my weight going up!) or are you just using it to track food intake/exercise etc?

If it matters for my first question my pre-pregnancy weight was about 135 and at almost 23 weeks I've gained about 13lbs

Happy Friday June Mamas!! I had a regular OB visit yesterday that went great. My blood pressure is fine, urine is good, Dr is happy with my weight & more importantly baby's heartbeat is great & still zipping along. I've semi stressed about the weight gain off and on and was concerned that I was potentially gaining too fast. BUT he said that he felt my 20lb gain was good & healthy for me. So YAY!! That was relieving to hear. I gained 4lbs in the last 4 weeks since my previous visit. I was really happy with that! My next appt is scheduled another 4 weeks out where I will have the dreaded glucose test...which is really not bad so long as you just treat that lil beverage to a chugging contest, lol. I can't believe that will be my last 4 week visit!!! Then I'm off to every 2 week appts!!! Where has the time gone? This pregnancy seems to have gone a lot faster than my others. Hope everyone is well!!

Hi Everyone,

I am due 24th June (23 weeks) with my first its a surprise and have started using My fitness pal again today as I have been so hungry and not watching what I have been eating that I have put on more weight than I should have whoops so today is a new day and now to keep on track

How is everyone doing today?.... I have the worst reflux in the world every day so hoping that the change in eating will help this issue too xoxo

At almost 26 weeks, I'm feeling the baby kicking and rolling around all day! I feel sore after any workout for at least two days and any amount of jogging is starting to feel impossible. lol. I only puke a few times a week now, so that's nice :O).

I also need to schedule 3D ultrasound between 28-30 weeks, I hope they have an appointment available!

@rosy003- They told me it was a non-fasting test, but when I had it with my daughter it was early enough in the morning that I didn't eat breakfast before anyway. I think if you ate something at 6 you should be fine by 8:30. I'm not sure if it would affect the test or not. I almost got sick last time because I didn't eat and the stuff they make you drink is horribly sweet. I made sure I had something with me for right after.
