    Any bike commuting moms here?

    First time MBT at 25+0, daily bike commuter 20 miles a day with a pedal assist ebike. I’ve noticed ever since hitting 20 weeks that the increased blood volume is smacking me in the face, and I’m relying on the e-assist much more than before. Did any of you make it all the way through your...

I have been in a deep depression about my body and just stopped caring or really putting in effort to fix it because I knew it wouldn’t be immediate results.

    STM’s, did you actually “bounce back”?

    People keep telling me I will “bounce back” because I’m working out through pregnancy. But I just spoke with someone on my bump group who said she was lean/shredded prior to pregnancy, worked out through pregnancy and after and never ended up bouncing back. So second third whatever time parents...

But is it possible that I am burning many more calories during exercise and other activity than before I was pregnant? I ask this because I have not gained any weight yet (9+0) despite some days of eating...
