Trying to get pregnant...now what?

Eat lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean meats. You will absolutely have to increase your caloric intake, every trimester gets harder on your body and you have to take in more. Def talk with your doctor. Jogging is generally pretty safe, and walk walk walk, not just for the weight issue but it is a HUGE benefit during labor and delivery if you are in good shape and have good endurance. Hope this helps a little.

Walking through the whole pregnancy is beneficial. Also, I believe an increase of 300 calories is necessary for a healthy pregnancy.

Let me give it a shot.

Rule of thumb is you can continue to do exercises you were doing before pregnant, within reason. After the first tri try not to do exercises that require you to be on your back.
As for cals, I've seen different guidelines on reputable sites. Some say maintenance in first tri and add 300 per day thereafter. Some say to add 300 right away. You definitely don't want to be in a deficit.
Try not to be hard on yourself. I had every intention of exercising and eating a reasonable amount but you can't predict these things. I was horribly nauseous if I didn't eat all the time (veggies and fruit snacks didn't cut it for me) and my OB nixed exercise due to complications. So I gained 60lbs but the good news is 12 weeks later I'm down 35 lbs and losing steadily.

Ps even though I wasn't allowed to exercise during the pregnancy, I think the fact that I was active and in shape beforehand really helped - I only had to push 3 times!

Just adopt a baby from some poor country like a celebrity would.

I just gave birth to baby #4 I lost 60 lbs using MFP beforehand, and wish I would have had the self control to eat like I knew I needed to. My doctor suggested eating 300-500 calories more while pregnant. I knew this was the last baby for me, so I kind of splurged and went wild. I had a lot of morning sickness in the beginning (until 16 weeks) and I basically just ate whatever I could keep down. Afterwards, I ate because I could

Now-I'm 3 months postpartum and breastfeeding. I try to eat cleaner, while still consuming enough calories to breastfeed. I started logging during Easter week, and i'm already down 11 lbs It has seemed to come off a little easier this time around. I kept exercising until the sickness hit me, then just tried to do something active daily (walking, swimming, etc) You could also see if your OB can refer you to a nutritionist for what your specific body needs...HTH!

I gained about 25lbs from my first baby and over 40lbs with the second... so here is my advice. I was WAY happier the first time, you will already be emotional and the extra pounds will be upsetting (especially if you are already concerned).
My gyno told me pregnant women only need an extra 300 calories a day (works out to another snack a day). Don't listen to people who say you are "eating for two", it's just not scientifically accurate.
Stick to what people have already suggested, working out light and eating real food. I gained very little weight (1-3lbs.) my first trimester the first time around and i think thats what helped me to stay in check. The second time around I gained at least 10! It was only up from there... i feld huge and very sluggish!!
Its all off now but keep in mind it took a year to put it on so give yourself a year to take it off. Its hard but I remembered this and it has helped me this go around.

walking & yoga maybe? i would think running or HIIT or anything like that would be too intense when your pregnant..

When. It comes to cals keep in mind that when you're adding cals you add them to your MAINTENANCE cals, not to your 1200 allowance that you have now.. When you get pregnant you shouldn't be eating only 1500.
