I'm on babycenter in the January 2017 birth group, working moms, and toddlers. Those are some angry *kitten* on there. I enjoy it. But it's hard to believe some of the things people post. Yesterday, some woman posted that she spanks her 11 month old. I almost fell out of my chair. More shocking was the number of people who thought that was ok. Made me want to go through the computer screen and smack her up.0

@enterdanger wtf, an 11 month old can't learn anything from spanking. I'm more of a mindset to do it the way my mom did. Threaten to spank. But never spank. I didn't even realize she did that lol. But I was afraid of spanking based on what my friends said about it.0
-
right @VeryKatie. I get giving a 3 year old a swat if they did something super bad, but no way is there anything an 11 month old can do that would ever deserve that. Personally, I'm against spanking in general. There are better ways to teach your kids discipline than to get physical with them.0

Hi everyone. I just found out I'm pregnant with my second. I have a 10.5 month old. I'm due in July. I was very active with a group of ladies in this group with my first, they are still my friends on MFP, sadly none of them are willing to get pregnant again right now just to go through it again with me
@enterdanger I can't imagine ever spanking my baby, he would have no clue what is going on, that is ridiculous. I was also on babycentre with my first I will have to join up again.
I'm very curious to see how this pregnancy compares to my first. I was so horribly nauseous during the first trimester with my first I couldn't stomach anything but dry corn flakes and chicken soup. Right now I don't have any symptoms other than some tender and growing boobs, but I am only 4 weeks (LOL I just got confirmation today but I knew when I had implantation so I've been waiting to get this positive result).4 -
@fernt21 welcome!!! Congrats as well! I didn't have any symptoms in the very beginning either and then all the sudden stuff got real :-(. I'm currently 11w5d. I'm bloated, gassy, boobs are huge and emotional. Most of the nausea has passed for now. I've gained 8lbs unfortunately. Good luck! Look forward to keeping in touch!1
-
I popped! Has anyone else? @wearmi1 @fernt21 @12Sarah2015 @tegtmeyerd @Queenmunchy @amandaarrie1 @Megliveken @amgreenwell @enterdanger (I'll just tag you all since I'm pretty pumped lol).
I can't really see the difference but as of lunch yesterday, none of my pants fit. I went out after work with my mom and I had to ask her to bring me pants that wouldn't kill me haha.

Yup, I popped too. Hubby has noticed for a while but a coworker noticed too. But for those that don't know, I'm sure I just look 'chubby.' My weight has been maintaining but I think that's since I'm losing muscle mass from not exercising cause I definitely getting 'rounder'...
I find it funny that my skinny jeans still fit the best since they are so stretchy. something doesn't seem right about a pregnant lady in skinny jeans, but I'm not ready for maternity clothes yet!0 -
@tegtmeyerd What week were you when you popped? I'm only week 13. But only me and my husband can tell. The clothes still hide it... even if the pants can't be done up.0
-
That's really exciting @verykatie
congrats! I definitely haven't popped yet only 6 weeks 4 days. I didn't pop until week 18 with my first and it wasn't really noticeable to others until about week 25. Things will probably be different with #2 hopefully. My big thing this week is that the pregnancy symptoms have got me so hard, the nausea is intense and all day and night long, food is just evil. I'm trying really hard to keep up my nutrition but I'm not meeting my goals at all anymore. Hopefully this ends by week 12 like my last pregnancy so I can eat normally and enjoy life again. 0 -
I def have a big round belly! I'm 15 weeks and look pregnant. My boobs have also gotten even bigger than they already were.0
-
Nope. I'm 14 weeks tomorrow and still can't tell. I look a little chubby in the stomach if I'm wearing fitted shirts. We haven't announced yet, so that's good. I have been wearing a lot of scarves because my boobs are gigantic.
With my first child 9 years ago, I was super pregnant looking really early. At 5 months people were saying that I was ready to pop.0 -
Haven't really popped yet. By the end of the day I look it but I think that's still just bloating. I'll be 12 weeks on Thursday. First scan today in just under 2 hours!!! Can't wait1
-
16 weeks this week and I'm just starting to look noticeably thicker in the stomach. I think it may be the end of hiding. I'm letting my boss know this week because my husband wants to announce this weekend. He's so excited, but I'm dreading it. I hate all of the attention on body changes. Even after telling my grandmother, she started to stare at my stomach area. It's so awkward!2
-
I'm REALLY hoping I don't officially show until I'm like 20 weeks. My appointment with my caregiver was postponed from yesterday to this Friday... and I wanted to go to this appointment before telling everyone at work (only my boss and my best friend know). However, after the appointment on the 23rd, I'm not back at work until January 9 (vacation over Christmas and then a work trip with people I have no interest in telling at all).1
-
Whooo you're all here! Due between 28th May (scan guess) to 2nd June (my guess) so somewhere mid-May to mid-June for this Mummy (in England)
Second pregnancy, am 10kg heavier than I was with first (urgh - and its been two years, I just havent been fussed about losing it) and average fitness now as dont do any exercise. With first pregnancy (2014) I ran half marathon just before conceived and had completed insanity a few times so I wasnt slim but I was strong! Having strong legs made massive difference in labour for me
Ive got a reminder on my phone case saying 'dont buy chocolate, cake or biscuits' as I would eat faaairly well (if a little too large portions). Im hoping if I get back into MFP like 2013 when I lost about 20kg (3 stone/48lb) , and at least track then Ive got a chance of losing it and being fitter again in ...I dont know, 2020
So - long intro, hello!0 -
Good thing I told my boss last week and announced it to our friends...I can't hide it anymore!1

Nope, my daughter is 9. I was wrong - it seems I just had some bloat from Christmas foods.
I can absolutely still hide it. I went to one of my doctors yesterday and she said "wait, I thought you were pregnant."0 -
oh my word I am very envious! I have been uber slack since first one and my gut just sticks out more. So funny about the doc - good blooming job you hadnt miscarried though!
yay Christmas food - made a butternut roast with feta and walnuts and it was delicious 0 -
I'm due 7-12. Jealous of your boob woes. I've gone from a nearly A to an A cup, still not needing to wear a bra.

I'm currently 17 weeks with baby #2, due June 16ht (my hubby's b-day). Our daughter is almost 18 months. I've been on MFP for awhile - it was great after my LO was born to lose the baby weight (plus some!). I'm currently using it now to try not to gain too much - currently I'm trying to gain some. My morning sickness has been so bad and hanging on so long I haven't been able to gain anything. I'm still actually down 5 pounds from pre-pregnancy and my doctor isn't uber thrilled. So I'm set to maintenance plus about 200, which puts me around 2000 cal and I'm having a rough time hitting it, especially chasing after a toddler.1

Just started week 20 and had to buy a 'belly band' since my pants were getting tight. My goal was to make it halfway in 'normal' clothes, so I'm OK upsizing to maternity pants now. Kept laughing in the dressing room since the elastic waistband that goes over the belly still feels foreign. Still need to find some nice exercise clothes or the belly will be busting out next week at yoga...

@tegtmeyerd is this your first? I know with my first I wore my regular clothes as long as possible... with #2 I went to maternity around 8 or 10 weeks when my jeans started feeling a smidge tight. I'm definitely showing with this one earlier. I popped around 13 or 14 weeks - the maternity clothes probably don't help, since there isn't anything to "hold" my belly in. It also helps that I had a huge tub of clothes from my friend who just had her 4th a year ago. So many more options this time around!1
-
@Hurricane_C our due dates are only 2 days apart!! I'm on baby #1 though. I'm having a little bit of slow gain right now too. I didn't lose much during the first trimester, but I thought I'd be up at least 5 lbs by now but I'm not even up 2 lbs. Is your morning sickness subsiding yet? I hope so! Can you try eating more nuts? Those calories add up quickly without much eating.0
-
@VeryKatie I had totally forgotten I'd bought cashews until I saw my husband packing some in his lunch this morning so I grabbed a few handfuls for my lunch. I'm trying to gain a few pounds, but not go crazy with it! I only gained about 25-30 pounds in my first pregnancy, but I was 20 pounds heavier starting out compared to this one. I'm really wanting to stay around that 25 pound mark so I'm trying to be more conscience of my calories without being obsessive.
As for the morning sickness... I'm on Diclegis - which is a preventative medication. I find it works wonders... when you take it. My insurance denied it, so I've been getting samples from my OB and I ran out... and so did the office... so I didn't have it for awhile and it was awful. Thank goodness I'm back on it! But we were at my in-laws over the weekend for holiday festivities and the LO was up until midnight being fussy and I forgot to take it. I was kinda nauseated in the morning, but not nearly has badly as I had anticipated. So here's to hoping we're almost over that hurdle!0 -
@Hurricane_C Yup, it's my first!! I still haven't washed the clothes I got at the consignment shops this weekend, so it's a good thing normal clothes still work this week. Surprisingly it's the low-rise skinny jeans that still fit.
Just checked my tracker and I'm up 6.4 lbs in the last month and 3.2 this week. Think the lack of exercising and the copious amounts of cookies are catching up with me. I started logging my food again yesterday for accountability. Still scary to see that amount of calories!0 -
@tegtmeyerd Well then congrats! Its so much fun and so challenging! I'm still not gaining - so I just ate a Danish and drank some milk. I'm not a huge milk fan, but this last week I've been craving 2% milk. I'm pretty sure the last time I drank it, I was pregnant with our daughter... so maybe I'll needing some fat and calcium. Definitely scary to see those calories. Especially after being in weight loss mode for so long. Its hard to switch my mind over. I upped my calories again, but I'm still having a difficult time hitting them... I have an OB appointment in 10 days and I'm hoping to have gained 1-2 pounds by then... I don't want to get yelled at!0
-
So how is everyone feeling? Is everyone near the 20 week mark?0
-
Coming up on week 22. Jeans are getting a little tight - still not that noticeable in most of my clothes.
It's more a mental thing now. I gained 10lbs and it's really getting to me.0 -
Well, good news is I've gained 4 pounds so my doctor wasn't mad She said I'm up (again) and baby is clearly growing so I'm doing okay. I'm on day 3 without my nausea meds and I'm feeling okay - not sleeping as well since I'm not taking unisom every night, but not puking every morning either! However, at the 20 week ultrasound they said I have a partial placenta previa
So I'm on pelvic rest for 4 weeks and then have another ultrasound to see if its moved so *fingers crossed*. 0
