Hey ladies! I've been a part of the group for a while...not posting, but knowing that I'd be pregnant soon. Well, I got my BFP last Friday! Due date is October 6. I started a new phase of my lifting program so I'm back to 4 day splits. I plan on keeping it up as I get further along...obviously listening to my body. :)

Planning a homebirth and meeting with midwives this week. :)

Anyone else?

    October 15th, for me! I was working with a reproductive endocrinologist to get pregnant, but I actually got pregnant on my own this cycle, so I'll have to wait until I here from her to know if I should move on to a OB or stick with the RE for a bit. I attribute getting pregnant to getting more active and watching what I eat. That 15lb weight loss MUST have helped because I have been trying to get pregnant for 20 months now.

    I bumped my calories to maintenance, and I'll keep walking 30 minutes a day until a doctor tells me otherwise.

    Congrats ladies!
    October 7th for me, I only found out on Sunday and have a doctors appointment tomorrow :) I have lost 40kgs over the last 18months and am going to need to keep using MFP to make sure I don't eat more than I need to.
    I wont be adjusting my calories on here until I speak to the doctor ...
    I'm so nervous and excited. This will be my first pregnancy.

    I'm due October 3rd! After losing 65lbs in 7 months. My RE told me not to lose anymore weight. I still have a long way to go until goal, but it's not about me! I have successfully managed to maintain the past 2 weeks with 1-3lbs of weight fluctuation. I'm happy with that. Starting back with yoga tomorrow! We have been trying for 3 years and I was right, it was all about my weight.

    Fingers crossed ladies!

    Hey everyone,

    Jus wondering if anyone has any symptoms yet? I had sore boobs but I woke up today and felt normal ... I'm so scared of miscarriage and having that one symptom was reassuring. Especially because I don't get my first scan until 12 weeks. How does everyone else feel? How do you ignore the worry?

    congratulations!

    I am due either October 8th or 10th. So not very far behind you. This is number 5 for me. Just hoping to have a healthy pregnancy.

    Really no symptoms yet except for being tired and peeing more.

    I'm still trying to find a doctor. So not sure when I will get in.

    Congrats to you ladies! This is going to be a fun journey. I have never kept up with diet/exercise during any of my pregnancies. I'm curious as to how it'll help the whole pregnancy and labor and bouncing back after.

    I'm *trying* to keep my calories at maintenance, but the past few days have made it difficult. I never got morning sickness with ANY of my other 4 pregnancies. I always got the extreme hunger! Well, I'm thinking this pregnancy is going to be completely different cause I almost puked in the sink this morning while making breakfast. And I couldn't even stomach what I made. Ha! Not so good. I've been making good choices focusing on protein when I can, but man, I can't wait until I can get back to a normalish feeling when it comes to food!

    As far as that goes, my bbs are a little sore, but nothing like I've experienced in other pregnancies, and I have to go to bed about 8 at night, but so far not falling asleep standing. I'm 6 weeks today too. :)

    6 weeks today :) ... still have to wait until the 19th to get my blood test results back and get a referral for a midwife consult. Another 6 weeks until I get a scan, to check for the heartbeat and abnormalities, it is going to take forever.

    Hey! I'm due October 10th. Last time I was pregnant, I started out 30 pounds lighter than I am now. So I would like to work to maintain my weight, which obviously means losing in the beginning. I don't have morning sickness so it's not just going to happen naturally. (I didn't have any morning sickness in my 1st pregnancy either).

    I'm feeling good! I'm only in my fifth week though. I find I get slightly more winded and tired when I work out, so I've just been listening to my body but not changing much else. Aiming for 30-45 minutes of exercise 5/days a week, plus a long walk on the weekend.

    My first appointment is February 25th at 7:30 a.m. I had to switch hospitals due to different insurance so I am back with the same doctor that delivered my first child. I have my nurses visit, lab work, ultrasound, and then the visit with the doctor. All in one day. Might be about a 3 hour appointment. I will be almost 8 weeks along. I picked up some prenatal vitamins as well a few days ago. I had been using the normal multi vitamins we had here but I needed to switch.
