Hi, I just lost almost 50 pounds and then found out we are expecting again. I'm happy about baby but a little sad that I will have to start all over again. This will be baby #9 for us. I am really hoping for a girl but hubby tends to make boys (we have 6 sons and 2 daughters). This is the first pregnancy since my first that I have been able to wear medium sized clothes though that makes me feel good. I am feeling good and working out (although not as much as I'd like to be). Maybe I will be able to bounce back better this time (fingers crossed). Anyways, that is a little about me.

Oh wow, you look amazing!! I'm so impressed, after 8 pregnancies... I'm about 6 weeks away from my due date of my first and I have to take my hat off to you

welcome and congrats! I also lost a lot of weight prior to getting pregnant and got to a size i have never been before. So i understand not wanting to undo all your hard work. I continue to use MFP to track my calorie intake and i workout 4-5 days a week using a prenatal circuit training DVD called ''Body by Trimester'' by Joy southworth. I may have a baby belly but the rest of my body still looks thin, fit and toned. I had to get a new maternity wardrobe since everything i had from before was huge. This is baby #3 for me but i come from a family of 9. (6 boys, 3 girls) so kudos to you on having a large family. You can set your calorie goal at maintenance and try to exercise whenever possible. Wishing u a happy and healthy pregnancy.

I have found that I also have to get smaller maternity clothes this time around . My old clothes are all large or extra large. I need small and mediums this time. Yeah !!!
