Im due Dec 3! Im eating at maintainance now, 1500. Always nauseous which doesnt help keep my calories low since I am constantly eating.

Wow, pregnancy brain already? Losing weight not loosing weight! SMH!

I upped my cals to 1700 and am planning on eating exercise cals too. I usually spin 3- 4 days a week followed up with lifting weights. Hope I get to skip the sickness and headaches that sabotage all good intentions!

Friend me if you'd like!

I'm due dec 5th with my 3rd. I have my cals set to maintenance which is 1500. I'm in the same boats with eating all the time to help the morning sickness. Ugh. I am much more sick to my stomach with this baby then my other two. I used this site with my second and only gained 25 which is my goal. However if I keep stuffing my face that won't be the case! . I've already gained 2 pounds and I'm 6 weeks! Yikes! Hopefully this passes and I can eat more then just carbs. At this point pretty much everything else sounds awful.

I am due with my first on December 21st. Kinda old for my first kid at 36 but that is just how my life has gone.

I don't intend to change much in the first trimester if possible but I am adding back more fruits. I have had to work really, really hard to lose the 30 or so lbs I have lost in the last 8 months or so and had another 30 to go. I am determined to avoid the JUNK during my pregnancy and be as healthy as possible. I will not look like a beached whale by the end. I do cardio about 6 hours a week but I am thinking to join a gym for swimming later in my pregnancy to get off my feet.

I'd love to friend anyone else who is pregnant and trying to stick to a healthy diet and has an open diary for ideas!

Thanks and congrats to all!

That's how old I was when I had baby #1. You'll do awesome.

I did tons of cardio during my last pregnancy and prenatal yoga about once a week. I was spinning up to 2 weeks before my due date. This time around, since I've gotten into weightlifting and have better yoga studios nearby than before, I'm going to keep up with my usual cardio until my races this summer, but then later in my pg, shift to walking and focus more on lifting/yoga and keeping my muscles -especially my upper body and back - strong. I lost soooo much back strength with my last pregnancy, and between all the baby-carrying and nursing, my posture suffered for a good 2+ years. I'm determined not to let that happen this time around.

I think I'm going to put away the scale. I figure as long as I track to my maintenance cals and make sure I eat lots of nutrient-dense foods, my body is just going to do what it needs to do to make this baby.

I just found out on Friday that my husband and I are expecting our first baby sometime in December. I'm just not sure when! My last period began Feb. 23rd,

This is the exact day of my first day of my last period as well (if you got that lol). I'm pretty sure I got pregnant March 15th or 16th give or take, which would have to mean that I ovulated super late.. I took a pregnancy test on the 2rd of April which it was positive. Now in Dec of this past year I had basically had an ovarian pregnancy. They thought it was just an ectopic until I had surgery 6ish weeks later for what they thought was cysts on my ovaries. But low and behold! Super rare what I had but my left tube was so badly damaged they took it out and saved the ovary.

I was in so much pain, thinking something else was wrong. I even went to the Dr. and I had a negative pregnancy test but the following week, at the er, (so three weeks later total) it came back positive and they gave me methotrexate. So my point is that it can take a few weeks. This time around I was whole week late before I realized I just wasn't getting it..lol My husband and I had decided to wait to try again till June so I can just heal, get back to exercising and I wanted to lose the lbs I put on over the winter with all that happened. I was not allowed to get pregnant for 3 months after that shot so after that was up I recall saying to him that weekend let's just be somewhat careful if you catch my drift (i toned it down for the forums) and we used condoms the whole month besides but that one time lol . Well with one tube left it apparently was meant to be. Haha sry for the TMI but I still can't believe it!

I go to the Dr. next Friday, technically I will be 9 weeks pregnant. The Dr. said to tell the front office that I'm high risk so I was surprised they are waited so long to get me in.This will be my 3rd pregnancy and first child if all goes well. can;t help but to be nervous..

Sry so long!

Congrats to all the mamas who just got their BFPs!

Is the weight lifting safe to continue to do? Or should I discontinue it?

I believe it is. Here is a good list of resources/personal accounts of women who lifted throughout their pregnancies:

Hi everyone. I am due December 3rd with my first baby! So excited!

Hello ladies! I am due December 27th with my second child. I've had 3 miscarriages so still early in the game which makes me a little nervous and cautious, but praying that all goes well! I got preclampsia with my son and gained over 60 pounds with him and I don't want to do that this time as I am starting off already at 30 pounds heavier. I am also changing from a stressful, active, heavy duty job to a desk job and that makes me more nervous that I will gain.

BFP!! Just found out Monday that DH and I are expecting our first, EDD is Dec 27th! Cannot tell you how excited I am, but I am about 100 lbs overweight and just 4 months into my weightloss journey so a bit scared about what that means for my pregnancy.

I need to focus on gaining only 15 - 20 lbs of pregnancy weight, but I may actually end up LOSING weight overall because of my dietary changes. My doctor and I are set for my first prenatal/ultrasound on May 13th, and the nurse said we can pick everything apart then SO ANXIOUS!!

I am doing light cardio now, about 2 miles a day - which I am going to continue. I bowl 3 times a week, which from everything I've read is fine until potentially the third trimester but to clear it with my doctor...which I will of course. I kept my calorie goal at losing 1 lbs a week for now, since I don't want to end up gaining unecessary weight in the first trimester knowing that most of it will come in the 2nd and 3rd. Drinking TONS of water, but I have been doing that for a few months now anyways.

Overall - so excited for this new chapter in our lives and even though I am a bit behind on the "healthy" side, I am determined to make this pregnancy and our baby as healthy as possible. Cheers and congrats mommas!!

So exciting to see all the Mommy's who are due in December :-) I am due December 11th. This is our first. I am also hoping not to gain an excessive amount during pregnancy. I'm trying to make healthy eating choices and walk at least three times a week. Congrats to all!

Hello everyone!!! CONGRATS!!! My husband and I are expecting our first child late December! I won't know the exact date until I see my doctor. First visit is with her next week! I am beside myself and so happy!!!! Here's to a happy and healthy 9 months!!!

Hi everyone, unofficial due date 12/29/13. I see the doctor next week. I'm trying to have a healthy pregnancy and not use it as an excuse to eat any and everything I see. I quit roller derby as it was not safe. I plan to continue with belly dance classes, and would like to walk more to make up for the time that I won't be on skates. A little bummed out that I didn't loose all of the weight I wanted to before it happened, but oh well.

So how is everyone doing so far?? I did pretty okay last week, until the weekend hit! LOL. I kept feeling weak, and what made me feel better...FOOD! I alloted for heavier calories during the weekend, so didnt do too bad but could definitly tell I overindulged by Monday. The bloat was coming on pretty strong! I got a Ripped in 30, level 3 workout in and felt a ton better afterwards. I think I am going to continue doing RI30 for the next month, five to six days a week then switch it up after that.
