I'm in a Fitbit group with some of my friends and one of my best friends is 16 weeks pregnant. Of all of us she's definitely the most in shape but starting to slow down a little due to pregnancy, she says it's great motivation to keep moving even though running is getting harder she takes longer walks. Anyone else use a FitBit to keep on track?

I didn't use a FitBit but I used my Garmin Forerunner watch and heart rate monitor to track HR, calories, miles, etc during my workouts until I was 9 months pregnant. I'm obsessed with it and it keeps me motivated.

I have a jawbone (like Fitbit); I got it after I stopped running in early second trimester, and it has been amazing for keeping me motivated. I would probably not be doing anything if I didn't have it, whereas I walk 1.5-2.5 miles almost every day now, and take extra walk breaks during the work day.

For sure! I'm competitive, so it's a great kick in the butt for me. (Also, pro tip, I have a couple people I don't really like on my friends list, and it definitely motivates me to beat them, ha.)

I love my Fitbit! My goal is 7500 steps or 3.25 miles a day. I also like that I can track my sleep.

I didn't get my Fitbit until I was already about 20 weeks pregnant, but I agree with everyone above that it's been great motivation to stay active. And I especially love being able to track my sleep, though it does get a little depressing to realize how little sleep I can function on.
