I believe it is important to remember we are all pregnant here and maybe a little emotional. We should all do our best to be kind and encouraging to one another.
If anyone can point me in the direction of some good work out videos it would be much appreciated!
Hey everyone! The first trimester kicked me in the butt. I've been too fatigued to exercise and too nauseated to track my food because I was eating only for survival. And then all that Halloween candy... but the fog is starting to lift and I'm ready to make sure I eat healthier foods from now on. I've set my goal to gain…
I cannot bring myself to track my food right now. Or exercise. I'm still eating pretty well, so I'm not too worried, but I really miss the feeling I get after an intense workout. But right now, even if I can drag myself out of bed early enough or stay up late enough to fit one in, on comes the nausea! I'm trying to be…
Hello, I am a 26 year old stay at home mother for 1 beautiful little girl (1 1/2) and I have a little man on the way. I am currently 20 weeks pregnant and have already gained almost 20 lbs.

Hello! I am 11 weeks pregnant! and already gained 7kgs (15lbs). I am 5’2 and weigh 70kgs(154lbs) I have always struggled with loosing weight.

What kinds of things are you ladies doing to maintain a healthy pregnancy? We all know that no matter how healthy you are pre-preg, we crave the high carbs and food aversion can really mess with our diets. The yearning for a 7pm bedtime (and general fatigue) can really quash motivation to even get the dishes done after…
I know dealing with cravings can be tough. What tricks have you come up with to help manage your cravings? I have been craving everything sweet, so I have been eating oatmeal or cereal with fruit. I have also learned that brushing your teeth mid craving can help.
I’m 28 weeks along. Start of pregnancy weight of 240lbs Current weight 260lbs Due to that my midwife had said low carb/high protein diet. She doesn’t want my gaining anymore weight this pregnancy.

Hi all, I was excited to see this group here, I know "losing weight" during pregnancy is frowned upon but my first child is 19 months old and I'm 20 weeks pregnant with my second. I didn't lose 20 lbs from the weight I gained last time and am concerned about gaining as much this time around. Would love any pointers on how…
So I had decided to stay at my gradual weight loss calorie deficit for the first few weeks, as I mentioned, but a week in I've now realized that was completely stupid. I was always going over because I am already sooo hungry. So I've switched from my lose-weight goal (1,500 calories) to maintenance (1,990) and not a moment…
