in Introduce Yourself
Hello!!!!!!!!!

I just found out that I am pregnant -- I'll be going in to the doctor in about 1-2 weeks for my first ultrasound -- but I am thinking I'm about 7 weeks right now. My periods weren't exactly regular, so my doctor wants to do the scan to determine how far along I actually am, but based on my last period I am around the 6-7 week range.

Anyways, this will be my first baby, and I am about 60 pounds overweight right now. I don't really want to gain any weight if at all possible, but I am going to do what's healthiest for my baby and eat a very nutritious diet and also plan on doing lots of walking and maybe even some prenatal home workouts... i wasn't really consistently physically active before now so I don't want to go crazy, but I def want to workout as I plan on having a natural childbirth and want to be in the best shape I can be in when the delivery comes around.

I just wanted to see if there were any other pregnant ladies (at any stage of pregnancy) that would like to be friends?! :bigsmile:

I thought it would be fun to be able to share experiences and advice!

Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!! :flowerforyou:

    I'll add you! I'm about 7 weeks pregnant now and I'm exhausted/nauseous all the time so I don't think I worked out at all for the past 3 weeks... Ugh... All I want to do it sleep and rest! Hopefully it'll be easier when the first trimester is over.

    There is a group names Fit, Fabulous & Pregnant! if you're interested :)

    I'm not pregnant now but I thought I'd offer some encouragement. I was about 80 lbs overweight when I became pregnant with my son and I gained about 30 lbs during the pregnancy. I lost all plus 10 lbs by the time he was 18 mos old without trying. Just by breastfeeding basically. I also was able to have a natural delivery even though I wasn't in any way "in shape" so don't fret if you gain some weight and don't get fit while pregnant, ok! You can have a healthy pregnancy even starting out overweight. My son is 3 now and I weigh 90 lbs less than when I got pregnant with him. Good luck with everything and congratulations! ????

    Congrats new mamas! I am 20w3d with my first and started off about 20-30 pounds overweight and have currently gained about 6-7 pounds. I'd love to be friends with other pregnant women! It's been a crazy ride so far!

    Hey,

    I started MFP after my first pregnancy in august 2012 at about 191lbs, i had only gained 10lbs. I was already overweight at a little over 180lbs for a 5'5" body frame. I used MFP and started to run, i was at my lowest around 165lbs and would go up to 170, that until about april 2014, then I couldn't control my weight and couldn't run regularly because I was going through IVF procedure, now I am 14 weeks pregnant and at 193lbs. I'm scared of what the rest of my pregnancy will look like if I continue down that path. I try to walk regularly but motivation is down. I think joining you girls will help me, MFP has been the best method for me to lose weight to date. Feel free to add me. Concerning my pregnancy i'm just a little more tired and I have that annoying metal taste in my mouth, other than that I can't really complain.

    Hello everyone! Was looking around for some pregnant friends too! I'm 33 weeks but OB told me to diet (only gain 1 lb a week so as not to have a hard time popping the baby out!) Feel free to add me! Would love some preggy buddies :) If you have Twitter let me know! (@iriszio) see you!

    Hi everyone! I am a 35 yo first time mom at 23w4d. I have gained ~30 lbs so far (I was overweight pre-pregnancy) and am back on MFP trying to slow down the gain. Would love the support. Feel free to send me an add, or I would be willing to join a Facebook group as well, if someone is interested in starting one!
