1st Trimester

Intro...got a BFP!

We just found out this weekend, got our BFP! Extremely excited and a bit shocked since we just started trying and truthfully I should've lost some weight first. I have a BMI of 29... anyone else w this concern? I haven't made an appt yet but want to know how many calories I should be consuming...?

Re: Intro...got a BFP!

  • Omg right there with you! BMI of 29 and soo excited about the pregnancy but I reaaaally wish I had lost weight prior. Luckily my food adversions have all been to junk foods and fast foods, which I loved before. I think if we just try to keep our eating controlled we'll be okay.

  • Congrats!  I'm just joining, too!  I wouldn't worry too much about the number of calories just yet. It's not the time to start a strict diet and you don't want to eat more than you were before. Just try to make healthy choices when you eat and stay active.

  • Yeah...I have a BMI of 30.....I cant think about it, its too depressing.  I'm just gonna try and work out as much as I can (at a healthy-for-baby pace) and eat healthy food, and not over indulge....as best as possible.  I really wish I was a skinny pregnant girl, but that's just not reality.

  • I'm in a similar situation. My bmi is a little higher. I'm 5'8" and weigh 225. I wish I could have lost more weight preBFP, but no such luck. I'm just going to concentrate on eating healthy and continuing to do moderate workouts.

  • Thanks!! Time to get back to my preholiday mindset and focus on staying healthy! I definitely let myself go these past few months and can definitely feel a difference. After hearing these words of encouragement I'm feeling a new sense of hope!
