overweight prior pregnancy

Ok I just found out I was pregnant a week ago I'm actually 5wks and 4 days. I was actually tryna lose weight before I found out and I know its probably the worst idea to continue to try to lose some weight still but what is the best way to only gain a little without harming my baby?

just eat healthy. That baby has full reign over your body now, and dictates where every single pound will go. Pregnancy is a beautiful thing, so don't worry about gaining weight while pregnant.

Just eat healthy and you can exercise, just nothing like hardcore. You'll still obviously gain weight but it will help keep you from gaining more then needed.
