Hi, I found out that I am pregnant with my second child.  I would really like to keep my weight gain under control this time.  With my first child, I gained almost 50 lbs.  I didn't overeat on junk.  Is there anyone who could give me some encouragement and/or suggestions?  I have always been on the edge of overweight according to my BMI (which is 24) ever since college.  Thanks.

aw congrats on your pregnancy!! with my first I only gained 20 lbs...BUT was considered overweight to begin with (and was very sick for a while with MS) I also have the same goal as you to do better this time around for me, what helps to eat healthy is knowing it's beneficial for my baby inside me...and exercise will only help with aches and pains and labor haha
