Hi!

Hi my name is Whit.  I'm 22.  I'm pregnant with my first child.  I'm pretty excited...I came here so I could count calories, I've always been pretty tight with calories/exercise so I'm kinda excited. I want to be a healthy mom.  I have my first doctors appointment tomorrow.  :) yay.

Congratulations!  I'm 23, and 5 months pregnant with my first (a boy).  Let us know how your appointment goes, and how far along they determine you are.

Welcome, Whit! I'm Erica and I'm not currently pregnant but almost 6 months postpartum. I have a 4 year old daughter and my son is 6 months.

Good for you for wanting to be healthy during and after pregnancy. Just don't be too strict on yourself at this point. Remember not to have a calorie deficit and indulge your cravings (in moderation!) every so often!

Congratulations on the pregnancy and check back in with us!

Congratulations on your pregnancy! And good luck to you. If you have any questions about what you should eat and how much, please be sure to ask your doctor. I have always hear that it is not a good idea to "diet" while pregnant. Although, it is also not a good idea to gain way too much either! I have four children with the oldest being five and the youngest being almost one year, and a set of twins in the middle. I've always found my obgyn to be the best source of information! Good luck.

Hello Whit,  You can never have too many congratulations, so, Congratulations! I noticed you had your first appointment last week and was wondering how you are doing? I myself am newly pregnant with my second and have my first appointment at the end of the month. My daughter is 2 1/2 and I have already forgotten how the first appointment goes but I imagine it really makes things sink in  =)
