    Hey Shannon,

    Welcome, and good luck with your goal. I know the best thing to do if you are pregnant is to up all of your nutrients without adding too many extra calories if you are trying to lose some initial weight. I just read a book called "Becoming Vegan" which had some really great information for enriching your diet with micronutrients while you are pregnant. Even if you don't want to become vegan it could be useful for information on calories and nutrient intake. I've read that juicing lots of fresh fruits and vegetables is a great way to get lots of micronutrients and energy while you are pregnant too. Just make sure you're feeding your little one and yourself and getting some good exercise, and all should be well.
    best wishes!
    -Amber
