    It is best to speak with your ob/gyn about this. General rule of thumb for healthy weight gain while pregnant is eat maintenance calories in first trimester, additional ~350 calories second trimester, and ~500 calories third trimester. You do not want to be starting any new exercise routines before consulting your doctor while pregnant. The most important thing right now is doing what is best for your baby. You can always lose weight after the baby is born.

    Is exercise new for you or have been exercising for a while? Did your doctor inform you of how many calories to need? I would start there and them. I was high risk when I was pregnant and I listened to my doctor's advice. I would not ask strangers on the internet.

    Congratulations <3

    This helps you, but is not helpful for the general public.
