Fit Pregnancy was founded as a magazine in 1993 by Weider Publications as a spin-off of Shape Magazine. Weider Publications was acquired by American Media, Inc. in November 2002. In 2015, Fit Pregnancy was acquired by Meredith, who closed its print edition.[2]

Fit Pregnancy offers advice and health information from OB/GYNs and Pediatricians, such as Dr. Jay Gordon,[4] Dr. Michel Cohen,[5] and FitPregnancy.com's Ask the Labor Nurse blogger Jeanne Faulkner.[6]
