Hello!! I am due in may!! this will be my 5th! I just had a baby on Christmas day of 2013 so this is very unplanned and a huge surprise. I have been trying to lose the last of my 6 lbs of pregnancy and it has been so hard. Now that i am pregnant I am going to continue working out, eating clean and since I am not drinking wine I am sure I will easily (hopefully) not gain. I plan on doing circuit workout 5 days a week and try and quickly walk for at least 6 days a week and hopefully two of those days can be hills. I want to be in better shape after this baby leaves my body so I will get in shape quicker!! Congrats to you!!!

I'm a may mom, due may 10th. I'm 7 weeks tomorrow and have been running 35 miles per week - I used to run 40-45. i have three half marathons planned. I also spin and such. The ACOG guidelines say 75% of max HR is where you should keep your heart rate, so, thats what I do (175 for me). I set my watch to alert me when I am going over 175. What is most surprising to me is how much more quickly my HR goes up now that I am pregnant. i'm hungry but struggle to get calories in because I am also incredibly nauseous, and carbs make me even more nauseous. I'm 5'4" and my weight fluctuates between 120-123.

Due may 25 with hopefully what will be take home baby #3 . had miscarriage in april and one 7 years ago between my 2 daughters. so far ive missed quite a bit of gym time due to being exhausted already my average sleep was like 6 hours a night find I now need 8 to 9. only nauseous if I go to long with out eating so far but still early I didn't get to the throwing up with my oldest till week 7.

Hi ladies, and congratulations! I am also due in May - the 8th. My first appt isn't until the 12th of October so it still doesn't feel real to me yet. This is my second pregnancy but I'm just as nervous this time around. I don't plan on finding out the gender for this one..... and I'm so excited about this.

Congrats all! I am 38 and about 6 weeks along now with my first, due 5/23/15. I've lost about 27 lbs prior to finding out I was pregnant and had about 25 more to go. I haven't changed my settings yet mainly because I can hardly manage to make myself eat the calorie goal now! I am not throwing up (yet) but I have random, low grade nausea and no appetite at all. going to the Dr for ultrasound on 10/13 so I will ask him then about weight gain/etc.

Yup, it is my first. We'd been trying since we got married in 2012 and finally succeeded with some pharmaceutical help! I've been torn between wanting to read EVERYTHING and not wanting to read anything so i don't stress out.

Hi, Ladies!
I'm due (with our third) May 4th. With my first pregnancy, I gained too much weight and with my second I kept things under control using babyfit.com. I started a LCHF diet in June & lost nearly 40 pounds before discovering that I was pregnant at the end of July (surprise! I looked so good that my husband couldn't keep his hands off of me!). Now I've added in some more carbs and am trying to maintain throughout the first trimester. Since I'm used to logging here, I plan to stick around for the duration. Nice to meet you all and hope to see you all around MFP.

Hi everyone. I recently found out that I will be a May mom as well, due May 19th. Simply_Sarah_ - It sounds like we have the exact same story! I usually have horrific menstrual cramps and I am so nervous about the baby because I am 9 weeks and have had very few symptoms with the exception of being extremely tired. My husband used to yell at me to go to bed at night and now he has to wake me up on the couch to go to bed! Ha! This is our first and this little one surprised us all. We just got married on September 6th so apparently we had a wedding guest that we didn't know about! I didn't lose the weight I wanted before the wedding and was looking forward to less stress and more time to get back to the gym after the wedding, but the baby changed those plans. The only food I'm having a huge problem eating is protein. Nothing in the meat category sounds even remotely appealing to me. Thank god there is protein in yogurt and cheese! lol I've been working out 4 to 5 days a week, but I'm so tired that I don't feel like I am really accomplishing anything when I work out.

Hey ive just joined this group im 14 weeks pregnant with 3rd and due 2nd of may was a huge surprise ! , I havent done much in being active as nausea and exhaustion is still holding m imye back hoping it will pass soon. I am happy about not worrying about going over cals for a while so my brain can relax a bit x

Due May 17th here.
