March 2014 babies
Hi! I am new here. Anyone else get a + test for a March 2014 EDD? This was kind of a surprise for me, we weren't really trying for #2, and I kind of had my head wrapped around being one and done, but...here I am! I guess what can you expect with no birth control, eh? I was halfway to my goal on MFP when I got the +, so I…

New to fitness, what if I get pregnant?
So, hubby and I have been trying to start a family. I just started running this month, and started weight lifting (SL 5x5) this week. I want to know: how long should I have already been exercising at a certain level, before it's considered "continuing during pregnancy" (safe) vs "starting a new intense exercise plan" (not…

Intro
Hi ladies! I'm almost 22 weeks pregnant with my first pregnancy. I was getting into good habits while we were TTC, but once I got pregnant my energy went waaaaay down and I stopped my workouts. With that came bad food habits. Now that I've got my energy back, I really want to reintroduce healthy habits and stick with it…

Help
Even though I work out and count calories, I've gained 21 pounds in the first 24 weeks. WAY TOO MUCH. I feel like this pregnancy weight gain is a monster I can't control. I feel scared of the weight gain to come and really discouraged. Any advice from anyone who's been pregnant before?

Strength training exercises in pregnancy
I'm 26 weeks pregnant today and have been doing strength training at the gym still - squats, lunges, weights etc - but I'm not sure what is/isn't safe at this stage. No-one at my gym is pre-natally trained, and the personal trainer I used to have isn't either, and won't do a session with me as he's worried about me and the…

I told her I have been doing crunches and she said I can still continue to do them, until I feel I can't anymore. Just wondering if anyone else has done, and continued to do crunches throughout their…

At what point did you stop working out ?
Hey ladies, I just hit 30 weeks yesterday and I have to say that I am about to throw in the towel when it comes to working out. I have been doing so good the while time, working out anywhere from 30-60 mins most days of the week. It is getting increasingly harder though. With my first pregnancy I stopped at about 32 weeks…

36 1/2 weeks, engaged and 2 cm dilated
I had my 36 week appointment today - first internal. Doctor casually tells me that the baby's head is engaged and I'm 2 cm dilated.

Macros and Pregnancy
Hey ladies - where are your macros set? Currently, I have MFP guidelines but have been playing around with the idea of upping my protein. I've been terribly "snacky" mid-afternoon and am wondering if MFP's setting for protein could be why. Protein has always been a bit tough for me because I can't physically eat tons of…

Protein Powder
Hello all! Hope all is well with everyone :smile: I'm having trouble getting enough protein (usually not the case, but since going maintenance, it's been harder to hit) and I'm getting tired of having the same stuff like eggs, pork, chicken, peanuts, etc. Especially pork. It's like any pork chop we cook and season I can't…

Advice on blabbermouths
I have told one person that I'm pregnant and that's my best friend. I know she would never say anything. There has been some speculation going on in my office between my manager and a couple coworkers but no one has come out and asked me so I'm not saying. I'm not ready to tell as I still don't know how far I am. Yesterday…
