Lots of us in the same boat! I have been worried about this too. Nice and fit and healthy leading up to being pg - four times a week at the gym, personal trainer etc, at my optimum weight, feeling good.

Then got pg, first trimester was horrid and so didnt put on any wt but by 20 weeks had put on 10kg, 28 weeks up to 14kg! My goal for the pg was to only put on around 14-16 kg as I am older and think it will be harder to shift the wt after.

I failed the first glucose test and so we all thought I had gest diab for a week until I got the results from the long glucose challenge test. Thankfully dont have GD! BUT I am now going back to counting calories and keeping a food diary. I am eating 2500 calories a day - my usual pre pg is 2250.

This strategy will hopefully see me grow a healthy baby without growing my butt and thighs too much more. I hope to stay around my current wt for most of the rest of the pg.

As I am a high risk pg I am seeing my OB very often and as my sis is a registered nurse (and is taking my BP every second day) and my friend is a nutritionist I am well supervised with this eating plan.

How are others managing their intake? I know keeping a food diary and counting cal has helped me feel in control again.
