Is it fair or safe to be focusing on MRM when pregnant? It just seems to me that you won't really know the "big picture" in regards to your metabolism until you get thru your pregnancy. How can you focus on weight gained (or lost) during MRM when you are pregnant and it's normal for weight gain? How will you ever know if MRM worked or what?? Just seems counter-intuitive to me.

It is true that I won't know the big picture during the pregnancy, however that is not a reason to not work at healing. Fair or safe? The time to heal is NOW!!!!! - and that is pregnant or not. It wouldn't be safer to wait until after the baby is born - the baby needs me to heal ASAP - not after he's born. ?? As far as weight gain during pregnancy goes - the standard for someone who begins a pregnancy at normal weight is a total gain of 25-35lbs, and a weekly gain of 3/4lb - 1lb. So yes, of course I am supposed to be gaining. However, a pace of 1/2lb per day is not recommended. Altho' it is not surprising at all given my quick increase of calories.
