No, if you are pregnant you should not be trying to lose weight or dieting. You can eat healthy and exercise - but that is regardless of whether you are pregnant or not.

I gained 45 pounds with my first pregnancy and I was also already overweight!! After I had my daughter I worked my hind end off and lost all the baby weight plus another 20! Now that I am pregnant again I refuse to gain as much as I did with my first one. I have talked to my doctor about it and he has said that I can continue to eat what I am eating and continue to exercise as long as I am careful and listen to my body so that I don't over to do!
