Woah, 19 weeks and I gained 2 pounds this week!!! I gained 10.6 pounds so far...

Oh and also I was a little nervous because my baby was 8 pounds 6oz and when I got home I had only lost about 6 pounds!!! It did not make sense to me. But I think it was all the fluids and etc.

With my son, I gained 25 pounds and lost it within about 1 month. But my body was of course different... still, I was wearing my pre-pregnancy clothes. My tummy just needed a bit more time to shrink back into place, which I was fine with. I ate less and walked daily as soon as I felt good, I think I was in the gym doing…

I had the Surge HR but ended up returning it because I wasn't 100% satisfied with its accuracy... It would count steps when brushing my teeth ;) I was also losing steps for some reason once in a while. Fitbit said it was an issue on their end but who knows... Maybe it's fixed now. I use the One and wear it on my bra all…

Currently 18.1 weeks along: SW: 123 pounds Week 7: 124.2 (+1.2) Week 9: 125 (+2) Week 10: 125 (+2) Week 11: 125.4 (+2.4) Week 12: 126.4 (+3.4) Week 13: 126.8 (+3.8 gained in the first trimester) Week 14: 127.8 (+4.8) Week 15: 129 (+6) Week 16: 128.8 (+5.8) Week 17: 129.8 (+6.8) Week 18: 131.6 (+8.6) I'm ok with my weight…

^^ I've had this happen to me sometimes during the first tri. I gained like 2-3 pounds in a week. The next week I lost it all and some more... sometimes our bodies act really weird when we're pregnant... Maybe you won't gain at all this week... who knows... GL.

Same for me. So I guess it's normal. Let's hope it gets fixed soon.

My steps are now showing but my calories/water/exercise isn't syncing to Fitbit. Anyone else with the same problem? I guess it's normal but wondering when it'll work!

Still not syncing for me here...

Glad to see they've acknowledged it! I'm still having the same issues. I don't see my step count on MFP and also the exercise I logged on MFP isn't transferred to my Fitbit Dashboard.

I feel you ladies! I'm 15 weeks and super hungry. I also am wearing my maternity jeans, much more comfortable although they're still a little big in the belly area. I'm up 6 pounds so far.

Thanks for sharing! I bookmarked it. I need to create a few full body workouts because I just can't manage going 4x a week anymore, so no more body splits for me. Plus, I want to do 1x workout a week at home, at least... So I'll definitely use some of your workouts/exercises! :)

I'm also debating on if I should add calories or not... I eat between 1700 and 2100 daily (if I exercise) so I think it's enough?! I'll see. SW: 123 pounds Week 7: 124.2 (+1.2) Week 9: 125 (+2) Week 10: 125 (+2) Week 11: 125.4 (+2.4) Week 12: 126.4 (+3.4) Week 13: 126.8 (+3.8 gained in the first trimester)

No more runny eggs (love them.. ugh). Sushis. Wine/alcohol. I've also changed brands of protein powder, I'm more comfortable with the one I am using with now when I'm pregnant. And I've added a bit (lot!!) more carbs to my diet. I'm also more relaxed about what I eat, I'm not super strict and will indulge more often as…

Well, if I wear something tight I do look pregnant (or to those who don't know me maybe I don't). But I can hide it by wearing some clothes, cardigan or hoodie for example! What about you??

Almost out of the first trimester! 3.5 pounds is good... My weight in is tomorrow (I'm 12.3 weeks now) but I think I'll be around +3-4 pounds as well. Same as with my first pregnancy, where I gained 25 pounds.

I like Optimum Nutrition whey, they taste great (at least the few flavours I've tried) and aren't terribly expensive.

Unfortunately it's hard to cut carbs with nausea, at least for me... I'm doing a bit better! GL!!

Lisa, I also feel bloated... and with my first I find I gained quickly but it slowed down eventually. I'm 9 weeks and gained 2 pounds. Not sure if it's water weight or not though...

I have mine set at 30% protein, 30% fat and 40% carbs. I usually go a little over in carbs because that's what I feel like eating the most (and it's not making me sick). I don't worry too much about it honestly, I just track so I'm not over in carbs by 100g every day and under in protein.

I'm due August 15th with my second. I'm 9 weeks now and I'm up 2 pounds, which is okay since I tend to gain quickly but then the weight gain slows down a bit. I gained 25 pounds with my previous pregnancy, as suggested by my doctor. I haven't been working out due to exhaustion and nausea, but it seems to be better so I…

I often eat a salad for lunch. Today I had a salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado and eggs. I also almost always have veggies with meat at dinner. I have 1 smoothie a day where I throw in whatever frozen fruits we have. But honestly I have no problem snacking on fruits and veggies. I just stick to those I love the most…

Yeah, I was going to say that 1900 isn't a lot. You may just need to increase your calories a bit.

Due with my 2nd on August 15th. Starting weight was 122 pounds. I am now 7 weeks but havent weighted since I am feeling sick all the time and eating whatever I can stomach. I gained 25 pounds with my son and hoping to gain about the same this time around.

I've used protein shakes/bars with my first pregnancy, and am doing the same. I just stick to MRM natural protein or Optimum Nutrition's Natural whey protein as well. As for protein bars, I like the Simply Protein ones. But I don't have bars often. I think it's a personal choice. I'm ok doing that but maybe some other…

I am aiming at 1700 + exercise calories and I'm in my first trimester (I'm 5'5 and around 122 pounds at the moment). And then I'll increase by about 200 calories by trimester. That's what I did with my first pregnancy and it worked fine. Of course, if I'm hungry I'll eat a bit more if needed.

Thanks for your reply :) You're right that it is work handling my 7 months old, especially since he's very, very active. I will try what you suggested, 10 minutes at a time, and maybe do 10 minutes 2-3x a day (if I can manage). I have a treadmill at home so I can do some incline walking if it's raining/snowing outside. I…

CONGRATS!! :) I've just sent your a FR because we've found out we are expecting our 2nd child in August. What you describe, it can be done! I gained 25 pounds with my first pregnancy, and my doctor suggested I gain anywhere between 25-35 pounds given my pre-pregnancy weight. I worked out all my pregnancy, except the first…

Seems like the MRM protein would probably be ok during pregnancy. I used this one and also Optimum Nutrition natural whey protein. But I know some women would be uncomfortable using protein powder at all; I was not but I still tried to stick to these ones.
