Hello! This is exactly the kind of group I was looking for. I am mid-30s and recently learned I will be expecting my second child next spring. I don't want to necessarily be dieting while pregnant, per se, but since I began this pregnancy about 7 lbs heavier than I began the last one, I want to make sure that the weight I gain is related only to the pregnancy and not unhealthy eating habits. Since I'm still so early, I have decided to stick to a calorie total that allows me to lose a pound a week, which is what I was doing in the six week leading up to this pregnancy. I will likely switch to maintenance in a few week and then slow and steady weight gain, but so far this is working for me. Good luck everyone!

Hello! I'm 30yo and this is my first pregnancy. I started with 140 lbs and everything was controlled until the beginning of the 2nd trimester. I've been gaining weight too fast and I now, at 22 weeks with 154 lbs. I should be 149 lbs so I'm getting scared. I really don't want to gain too much weight since it's not good for me or the baby.
I hope we can motivate each other to keep on track!

Hello all! I have one amazing little man at home who's 4 now (4?! When did that happen?) and I am currently 11 weeks into growing my new tiny human. My goal is to try and gain at a steady and healthy rate through the pregnancy. My OBGYN said she wants me to gain 25-35 pounds which frankly is terrifying to me. With my last pregnancy I maintained the whole way through, granted I was heavier then, but it's still scary to me to lose all of that progress that I worked so hard on.

Hi ladies! Im 35, 18 weeks, due Aug 1st, second pregnancy. I am showing much sooner this time around and gaining weight much more quickly. Now that the nausea is mostly subsiding, it should be easier to get my eating under control (though it hasn't been really out of control?) I think some of the food aversion had me reaching for high calorie foods that wouldn't turn my stomach.

Just downloaded mfp today to keep a log of my eating habits throughout the day to find a better balance and to also find the motivation to get outside more and have a really healthy pregnancy like my last one! ♡

hi i am 32 years old and now am 9 weeks pregnant. My pre-pregnancy weight was 51kgs. I was active before I got pregnant and was sick from 1st week pregnant till 7 weeks. I have just gone back to regular workout. At the moment I am jogging 5k 3 times a week and one hour fast walks everyday during lunch time. I was a lot active before this. Thank you for reading
