Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing...
I will be 18 weeks Friday and that is when I get my anatomy scan and hopefully find out what I am having... super excited to finally put a gender to my sweet baby and start shopping!!!
I started this pregnancy at 225 and as of 2 minutes ago I am 215.8... I am pretty sure I am retaining water right now because I have had a crazy amount of sodium in the last week... I have seen a low of 213 but then ate crazy sodium for a week and saw as high as 221 or so, so I am trying to be good with my sodium and see if I can see a true number again... I will go by my weight at the doctor on Friday and hopefully I will see a good number then ...this will let me know if I have indeed gained weight in the last weeks... My doctor and I have agreed that a 10 pounds is my max weight gain so I want to make sure that I keep doing well... the doctor is fine with me not gaining any but I don't know if a zero weight gain is going to be possible for me ... especially if I am already starting to gain in this pregnancy... blah...
I also have not been working out... I know I need to start again but I haven't because I have been losing weight eating where I am at and some days eating all my stomach can hold and I know that if I workout my calorie count would be even lower and right now my body is not allowing me to eat more lol... if my body is truly starting to gain I will try and work out to keep maintaining until third trimester...Third trimester I will definitely try to work out more... I don't want to lose weight necessarily anymore but I don't want to gain yet either... Third trimester is when I want to start gaining...
So how is everyone else doing??

Great update! Good luck at your appointment on Friday. I'm sure your doctor will be pleased with your success concerning your weight. A lot of women SAY that they are going to work hard at losing/maintaining, but never do. Great job!
I know what you mean about the working out. I feel guilty for using a million excuses. First, it was morning sickness (all day), then I had strep throat, now I can't get over this sinus infection. I know that I need to work out, but by the time I make it home, I just want to sleep!
I also have a check up today. I'm actually worried that I will be fussed at for not gaining any weight since my last appt, last month. I am almost 18 weeks, and so far I'm down a pound or 2. My goal gain is between 25-35. Is it normal that I'm not really up much yet? I just don't have much of an appetite!0 -
I hope your appointments go smoothly!
I had my anatomy scan last Thursday at 18w3d, then didn't get to see a doc about results until Friday. Baby girl's(!!) head measured 1.5 weeks behind her body and the sonographer didn't say anything... and after I kept thinking about it that night I started getting super worried... needless to say the blood pressure was at 138/68 on Friday and the CNA was concerned, doctor didn't even mention it.. I get terrible white coat syndrome when seeing new people, but the last few times I went in to see my midwife it was totally normal. Maybe this is why the doctor didn't say anything?
Anyway, her little head was normal, and in the doctor's words: "She will be just as smart, if not smarter than all of the other babies" :happy:
PS- edited to say that I also am not working out as much as I should- with school just getting back into the swing of things and not getting home until 5-6 (I leave at 6:30 am for work), I am POOPED! I don't know how some teachers can sit down when teaching... I'm trying to figure out how they can actually do it so I am not so tired when I get home!0 -
Hi Ladies!
I just had my anatomy scan yesterday at 19w3d...and our baby boy is measuring 20w1d! I am fairly pleased that my little Roo is growing so well since I have not gained any weight (sitting 2lbs below pre-preg weight right now). He was kicking and squirming so much the poor u/s tech was having hard time getting pictures! Both the tech and the doc said that Roo looks perfect. :happy:0
