Not counting calories burned during exercise?
I saw there was an article on why not to count the calories burned during exercise, but I didn't get a chance to look at it. Do any of you not log your exercise calories? How's it working for you? Do you increase your daily goal calories then?

1st trimester and so tired!
I am 5+1 and so tired! I was not this tired with my first pregnancy. Does anyone have any suggestions on ways to get energy without caffeine? I have been walking 5x a week and I take a prenatal. It is to the point where I feel like napping but can't with a 21 month running around!

Maternity belt
Have you used a maternity band for better support? Used it to jog? Would you recommend it? Why/why not? I'm carrying differently this time and feeling some pressure on my lower back that didn't happen the first pregnancy.

Growth spurts

Do you change your macros during pregnancy?
Do you change your macros and micros during pregnancy or just leave them at the presets? I know that pregnant ladies need more of certain nutrients, but I'm not sure what. Folic acid and iron for sure. Then I have a pregnancy app that says to get at least 70 g of protein- but the preset on here is way more than that for…

The Good News and The Bad News
So I had my intake appointment today, finally. Ultrasound is next week. Because I'm "advanced maternal age" I also get some extra blood work at 10 weeks....and THEY ARE GOING TO TELL ME THE SEX OF THE BABY FROM THE BLOODWORK! They will also tell me if stuff isn't right...but the odds are so low.... sorry, I'm really…

Food Aversions
Ah, my 3rd pregnancy has yet again made me a vegetarian. I'm normally a meat eater, but I couldn't stand meat while pregnant with any of my kids. Except #1 at the end. I wanted to eat steak like every night my 9th month. Just had some straight up veggie fajitas for lunch. I wish I'd get a cookie aversion. Avocado is also…

What are you eating?
Ladies that are/have successfully gained less than 30 lbs during pregnancy, what are you doing to acheive this? I gained 45 lbs with my dd and I cannot do that again this time. I'm 11 weeks and I've gained nothing so far, but I'm scared to enter the 2nd trimester.

Zika
Anyone else worried about Zika? Just found out I'm pregnant - due in Oct. Although there isn't Zika being spread in the U.S. yet (helps that it's still winter!)... some people are expecting an outbreak this summer. Pretty scary to know that a little mosquito bite could lead to major birth defect! Has anyone started looking…

Self love during weight gain
Hello Moms! I'm on my second pregnancy and honestly having a harder time this time with self love during the weight gain dance. Has anyone else felt that way? First pregnancy I gained 50 pounds, and gave birth to a tall (she's still tall) but proportional baby - 9lb, 3oz. I lost all the weight except 4 pounds, but felt…

July 2016 moms
Hi ladies, I didn't see a forum for July 2016 moms yet and thought I would start one. I am pregnant with my second and due July 4th. Of course, I was not quite the weight I wanted to be when I found out and I am hoping to gain minimal weight with this one and would love accountability. Looking forward to hearing from…

Still trying to lose? Still losing?
Prior to getting pregnant, I was at a 1200 calorie diet, mostly because of one of my autoimmune disorders. I was at a higher number and just wasn't losing, so my doctor told me to keep cutting until I found my "magic" number. I was burning about 500-600 a day per my HRM. I'd eat back about half, sometimes more if I was…

Autoimmune diseases?
Hey everyone! I'm 34-35 weeks pregnant (I honestly forget LOL) with my 4th baby and I have two autoimmune diseases. Anyone else out there pregnant fighting their own bodies? :P I have Hashimoto's and celiac disease. I actually found out about the celiac 2 days before finding out I'm pregnant this time around (Feb of this…

When did you start wearing maternity clothes?
Kind of a silly question, but a family member asked if I was in maternity clothes yet or needed any and it got me wondering... With my son, I started wearing maternity clothes around 22 weeks pregnant. I'm not wearing them yet this pregnancy (currently 21 weeks, 3 days) but I expect to soon. Just curious! :smile:

Diclegis
Curious if many others have had to go on diclegis for morning sickness. I'm about 7.5 weeks along and started it last week, initially with amazing results and now the nausea is starting to creep back today. Last time I was pregnant the only thing that helped nausea was eating, so of course I gained weight in my first…

Belly cream/lotion recommendation?
Hi moms & new moms to be :smile: Does anyone have a good belly cream or lotion they can recommend? With my last pregnancy, I used Palmer's Cocoa Butter and really liked it. This pregnancy however, my skin is a bit more sensitive to that particular kind. I get a rash when I use it, so I'm looking for something different.…

Hi everyone. I am 33 years old and currently 4 months pregnant with my first child. I am looking for some other mom's-to-be to share experiences with. I made the mistake of eating whatever I wanted throughout the first trimester and gained about 15 lbs...yikes! On top of eating like a pig, I was exhausted, in bed by 8:00…

First trimester exhaustion *rant I guess!*
Hi ladies, I'm pregnant with my second child. My son is 7 months old and I'm still on maternity leave until March 21st. During my first pregnancy, I didn't go to the gym once in 7-8 weeks because I was too tired. I thought I could push through it this time, especially since I am at home and should be less tired I guess,…

Any September 2016 moms?
Looking for others due in September who would like to share the journey. Planning to start logging regularly again (after some of the nausea subsides) to make sure I'm focusing on nutrient dense foods. I'm also active--work out 3-5 days a week.
