Hello! I have recently discovered that I am pg with #2, and in an attempt to gain a more reasonable amount than with #1 (50lbs!) I am planning to monitor my eatinng and exercise habits closely. I had initially considered doing Core, but I prefer Flex. So, I have been following the Flex Pts for nursing mothers. {I am also still bf my 2 yr old, much to my surprise and astonishment!}
I take a prenatal vitamin, ensure I get my dairy and oils, and fruits and veggies...
Has anyone else been through this or does anyone just have any advice for me?
Thanks!

My friend did and her GYN advised her to do 8-10 additonal points a day to be used for protein, dairy and complex carbs...not junk. She gained 30 pounds (which is supposed to be a good amount) and it was gone within 3 weeks after her baby was born.

Kelly,
Thanks for the input! Its good to hear others doing what I thought was a reasonable plan. The 8-10 extra pts are the same as the nursing pts, although I guess maybe I should also add a couple more for actually nursing too!
Losing it in 3 weeks would be ok...I am a bridesmaid for a very close friend 4 wks after I am due! It is very good added motivation to eat healthy.
I am hoping to gain 15-25 this time around, as I am a solid 20lbs over what I would ideally be to start with!
Thanks again for sharing!
