Early stages of pregnancy

Hi!

I'm in the early stages of pregnancy. On here to try to keep weight down without putting on TOO much with the pregnancy.

Mainly it is to keep track of what i'm putting in my mouth as I'm always hungry !!

And to make sure I'm getting enough of all the good stuff. But being able to give into cravings where necessary.

Would love to link up with other expectant mothers on here :)

    Hi, I'm pregnant too (15 weeks) and really trying to keep weight gain to a healthy minimum too! Hopefully you're able to do that as well!

    @annalee117 @lanara1 I’m in the very early stages of pregnancy (5w4d) and trying to use MFP to keep myself from overeating. I had been using it as a weight loss tool, but didn’t get much accomplished in the last several months.

    Hi! 5 weeks 3 days here! I'm actually obese. Over the holidays I lost 10 lbs and then I found out I was pregnant last week. My trainer is certified in post and pre natal care. She bumped my calories up to 1500 and it's been great! I haven't lost any but I haven't gained any either! The goal for her and my doctor is to continuing losing through my 1st trimester (but healthily).

    @annalee117 Oooh you're a bit ahead of me. What was the 12 week scan like!? I have mine in February.

    @madelinecamille Congrats :) I wouldn't get too wrapped up in the whole gaining weight thing, you need to listen to your body, but I totally think this is a great place to track it and keep tabs.

    @arlissap You don't look obese!? Congrats and well done for maintaining.

    When are all your due dates?
