    Hey, all! I am almost 18 weeks along and due May 23rd. Had a vertical sleeve gastrectomy in August 2012 and lost over 200 pounds. The ability to start a family was one of the major motivating factors for the surgery. I had a rough first trimester and have fallen off the bandwagon. I have gained back 25 pounds since my lowest weight, 10 of which I gained back during my first trimester. am here to get back on track ... so nice to meet all of you. We can do this! :)

    Hi Everyone!!!!
    I'm excited to have found a group for pregnancy! I'm 26 years old, and due May 24th, 2015. We find out if we are having a boy or girl *hopefully* on January 7th. I am supposed to gain the normal range as I'm 5'4 and started at 128. I'm 18 weeks 2 days and have already gained 9 lbs so I feel like I'm gaining a little to quickly...just a little. I'm here to get motivation to start walking on the treadmill and do a prenatal yoga dvd I have yet to open. Feel free to add me I would love some new friends on here!

    Due May 12th! I've been staying active, but decided to enjoy the holidays with no regrets and I think it will show when I step on the scale at my 20-week appt on Friday. Trying to refocus and make sure I gain at a reasonable rate and in a healthy way.

    Hi all I am due around May as well! Seems to be alot of us lol. Official due date right now is May 16th but my cycles are long so I am expecting to be anywhere between that and a week later. I am very overweight and looking at trying to maintain rather than lose. It has been very difficult as cravings are ridiculous! Good to know there is a group here on MFP hope to really step up healthy living this year and eventually lose weight after the baby comes.

    Hi! I am due May 18th with my second. I already have a 3 year old girl. Also trying to keep my weight under control this pregnancy. It has been difficult. It feels like my body just wants to hold on to everything I eat and drink, despite being pretty good about my calorie intake and exercise. So far, at 26 weeks I have gained about 20 lbs (some days more or less). I am hoping to stay around 35 total but now that goal seems hard.
    What has been working for you ladies? :-)

    I naturally have an awful metabolism and have struggled with my weight. I haven't gained yet and the biggest reason for me is that I have diligently lifted and done cardio every day. Aside from that I keep my calories between 1500-1800 per day.

    This is #2 for me as well and I have a 2 1/2 year old as well. My daughter still naps so that is when I exercise.

    While I get great cardio in, I have a hard time getting my 10,000 daily steps in. That has been my biggest challenge lately. :D

    Hi Dangergirl87 - do you do a video while your toddler naps? Mine also still naps for 2 hrs a day most days so maybe I should try the video route for more cardio. I have been doing Bar Method classes 2-3 times a week, which really helps with toning. I do feel stronger and more fit this pregnancy. How tall are you? I am 5'8.5" and I have been trying to keep my calories around 1850 (but I do let myself go up to the revised total if I work out).

    Hi all! Late to the club, but I am due in late May... was told at my last OBGYN that I am gaining TOO much weight and that I need to start counting calories. Sooo here I am.

    Hey, late to join but I'm due May 18th. Feeling like I'm doing ok, not gained other than my bump and boobs, and I'm up 19lbs at 31 weeks. I've not been exercising as much as I hoped to due to SPD but I'm managing to do yoga at least a few times a week and trying to get a few decent walks in too. Up until my hips got too sore I was doing Suzanne Bowen's prenatal barre workout which I was really enjoying, and will pick up again after the birth.

    Hi everyone! Just found this group :) I'm also due in May! The 28th. Almost 31 weeks pregnant and gained about 23 lbs so far. Please add me as a friend and I would love to keep on track, keep motivated, and have some great postpartum weight loss support! This is my second, a boy, and I have a 2 1/2 year old girl :)
