I am currently not trying to lose weight since I am in my third trimester. It would be nice to be able to have this be resembled. Women's bodies behave differently in each trimester and when nursing.

@Samantharalya, Fitbit currently doesn't factor in anything for pregnancy/nursing, part of it being that everyone's body reacts differently. The current working theory is this: as your pregnancy progresses, you can update your weight in the app and that will up the calories you burn. Once you give birth and begin nursing, they suggest you create a manual activity of nursing and estimate your calories burned. You can look up on the web what an estimate would be, I seem to recall that the range is something like 400-700 calories burned a day.

I wish fitbit would work on a option for this. As a pregnant soon to be nursing mother, the Fitbit has zero benefit to me in my state. Ive thrown it in a drawer. This is unfortunate, because I'd really love to have guidance at this time.

I see that there already is a request for this suggestion you might want to add your vote. 

 

Fitbit use to have this option, but it was not implemented correctly. 

Since exercise is always good for the taint mother, and great to help remove the extra weight after, im not sure why the Fitbit is useless.
