    You're doing this with doctor's approval I hope.

    Congrats!!!!! Ask the doc how many extra calories you need for pregnancy and go from there. (example for breast feeding is 300-500 calories and everything else is the same)
    Welcome mama!!!!!!

    I'm not dieting soooo I don't know why I need a doctors approval. I track to make myself eat healthier. And I've gained ten pounds this pregnancy so far. My doc said I am doing just fine.

    Anyways thank you. I set to not lose any weight on here, to maintain. And that added a lot of extra calories actually

    My little is 3 months old tomorrow - I used MFP to keep track of my intake and kept my gain to 15lbs, which is appropriate for someone overweight. It's helpful! There is even a group on here - fit, fabulous, and pregnant. Good luck and congrats!

    Congrats! When I was pregnant last year I just set MFP to maintenance for the second and third trimesters and that ended up being perfect for what my midwife told me to gain. (Most of that gain was from the holidays and my birthday, lol) Good luck :)
