Our thread is now for 2011!!! Wow!!! Happy New Years Day, ladies!!! Hope you all had a safe and fun evening! My husband and I stayed at my FIL's house to watch some football. We are waiting patiently (or impatiently really!!!:laugh: ) for our hosue to be done. It was suppose to be done Dec. 15, and now they're still working on it....we have to be out of this rental house by Jan. 15th so....they need to hurry!!! I'm so ready to get in and start getting my nursery together!

My school vacation is coming to a close...teachers go back on Tuesday. It's been a nice, relaxing one though! I just keep telling myself I only have 12 more weeks and then I'll be off for 4 months with my little princess! (1 week Spring break, 6 weeks maternity leave, then 2 months summer) I am so blessed to have that much time off...our timing was excellent, lol. :laugh:

I haven't posted much lately - but I read the posts everyday to keep up with what's going on. TWINS is so exciting!!! And I hope those of you feeling down or sick get an extra boost of energy! Sheri, I am sorry you are feeling so badly. I'd keep telling my Dr. too! Try to take it easy!

Hi, I'm Trish. I'm a SAHM to a beautiful, hilarious, brilliantly smart 2yo girl. I'm trying to drop the last of my weight before TTC this coming fall.

Neat! We've been TTC for about a year now - I have PCOS so weight loss has been an important goal on my part. My hope is with enough weight loss I will OV more regularly.
Superfrustrating, not to mention $$ - tons of ov predictor tests - blah!

vanishingirl77

Hello! I'd like to be a part of this! I'm almost 34 and have been TTC #2 for two years now. My first son was conceived right away (I weighed 245ish I think) and I'm not sure why I'm having problems, but have been hesitant to seek medical advice because my weight is so high right now. Pretty sure I'll just be told to lose weight.

I have a relatively active job, and would like to lose as much fat as possible before becoming pregnant again (although at my age and two years TTC getting pregnant takes priority over losing weight (as in, not going to try to lose it first!).

Just thought I'd introduce myself and wish everyone a very happy new year!!

I have PCOS too and was just about to purchase a saliva ovulation predictor microscope, (b4 I got pregnant). they're about $30, so it might be worth it instead of buying the disposable kits. also, some dollar stores have OPK and Pregnancy tests. it might cut down on the costs. HTH

Happy New Year everyone! Hope the new year brings happiness, health and success to everyone! XOXO

Wow I can't believe 2011 already. I'm so glad you get that much time off with your little one. It will give you so much time to bond and really get used to her without having work in the way. I'm ready to get my nursery started, but right now the room is full of Man Cave stuff so I think it won't be done until February or March which is cutting it close. But we can be flexible, babies don't require much at first, food, diapers, and love.

Happy New Year everyone! Had a fun night at my sister's house with my niece and nephews. Surprised I was able to stay up long enough to watch the ball drop :laugh:

2010 was a great year and I'm looking forward to everything that 2011 will bring for all of us.

Now to make it through the last day of big meals and holiday goodies!! Hope everyone has a great first day of the year!!

Happy New Year!
I'm super excited because my doctor's office called yesterday to confirm my appointment on Monday & the recording said I was scheduled for an ultrasound! :bigsmile: I wasn't sure whether or not they'd do an ultrasound at 12 weeks. I also found the heart beat again yesterday morning so dh could hear (he was out of town the first time I found it).

Soon2Bfitmamaof3

Happy New Years everyone, we watched the ball drop.... on east coast time, lol! Mommy and the kids only made it to 11, good thing we watched it at 9 with some family. Not feeling much pain yet today but have to hit the market and get ready for work on Monday. So not looking forward to it but don't see the doctor til the following Friday and cant afford any more unpaid time off.

Rachickidee

Yay, I am glad I found this. My name is Rachael. I am 12 weeks pregnant and so excited. This will be my first baby. I am excited to find people with the same goals and who will also help motivate and inspire.

Some of my challenges currently are getting enough water (it makes me sick in the morning, and I don't want to wake up all night going to the bathroom if I drink too much in the evening). Any recommendations? And getting enough protein. My doctor told me that I should be getting 90 grams of protein a day. I realized I normally only ate about 40-50. So this a huge jump. I have been eating eggs, yogurt, milk and protein shakes. For some reason I can hardly stand chicken or fish any more. It just makes me sick.(The joys of morning sickness ) How do any of you get enough protein?

I finally buckled down and got my Zofran prescription! Hallelujah, yesterday was a totally different day. I should have done that sooner. Congrats to all of you mommy's to be and good luck to those trying.

Happy New Year! Happy baby birth year for most of us! Dh took the oldest 8 to a movie and then when he returns dh and I are going out to dinner and a movie. Right now I am home alone w/ my two littlest. We have had some flu/headache thing for days, now I seem to have a slight cold or it is a continuation of the other illness. I have also had a bladder infection. I just hate those. I fight my bladder infections w/ uva ursi and herb, cranberry and cranberry juice. I didn't work out yesterday or today and cut my workout short Thursday feeling poorly. We start school back Monday, honestly none of us are looking forward to it, but thankfully we only have 16 weeks left and should be done the end of April. I will have a month or so off before the baby arrives. I always like having that time to go more inward w/ myself preparing for a a birth and new baby. January and Feburary are always ard months for all of us. It is so cold, the school seems so long still, mucking through snow and mud doig livestock chores. We put a new offer on the farm we were trying to buy, the other people's closing fell through so we have another opportunity to buy it. I pray it goes more smoothly than all our other attempts last year. I seem to have gained about 4 lbs extra this week, Christmas week. I feel mad at myself about it, but some could not be helped drinking juice for the bladder infection. I hope I feel tip to next week and can resume more normal eating and regular working out schedule.

Try sparkling water, it is the only thing I can still drink. I drank this my last two pregnancies and it saved me! I am surprised and happy your dr mention a great need for protein. It is especially important in pregnancy. There are many high protein sources, of course meat, but also eggs, nuts, lentils, beans, cheese. Do any of those appeal to you? Lentil tacos are one of my favorite meals as the rest of my family. Nuts are an excellent protein source and pack a huge amount in a small portion. Also there is always protein bars which help me through the first trimester. Protein every few hours will also help w/ nausea.

Cool thread! My husband and I were TTC #2 for the past several months, but we're taking a break until April due to work responsibilities that would not make a fall/winter maternity leave possible for me. Since we're on a break I'm taking time to really get some weight off. I'm below my pre-pregnancy weight for my daughter, but I really want to get back into a healthier weight. I don't want to tip the scales at over 200 like I did at the end of my pregnancy last time!

I am a work at home mom to a brilliant 15 month old baby boy. Gained 20 lbs since my last pregnancy due to post pardum depression and a newly found chocolate addiction. TTC baby #2. I changed myself to a strict diet of .5 bagel and cream cheese/ 1/2 cup coffee for breakfast, lean cusiene for lunch, yogurt snack, and 500-600 calorie healthy dinner. I lost 5 pounds of water weight and probably undigested chocolate just this week. I started Jillian Michaels Yoga and I speed clean my house every morning. I started taking my prenatal vitamins again as well. Also, 1200 mg of fish oil. ( I despise any food from the water so i take these twice a week just for the omegas) Would love to be part of this group.


Current weight: 150
1st goal: 140 by feb 1st/ loose the love handles
2nd goal: 130 by march 1st
Ultimate goal: Concieve soon!

I also have PCOS, as well as thyroid problems. First baby was conceived right away. It was more of a "don't mock God" lesson, LOL. I had told EVERYONE, jokingly, that it would take an act of God to get pregnant right away. Yeah...

I used my basal thermometer pretty religiously, seemed to help a lot.

Welcome! You should add some fruits and veggies to that diet! Maybe one with breakfast and lunch?

Spotting is extremely normal in pregnancy, especially early on. A baby and a HB cannot usually be seen by U/S until 6 weeks give or take a few days. If your levels of hormone are not rising adequately it could be a progesterone issue. You can start taking wild yam now or wait until you get the results and if they determine it is necessary you can take progesterone suppositories until the placenta makes its own progesterone.

I don't know a whole lot about it but I do hear that spotting can be normal. I am sure you are in good hands with your dr. When do you get the results of your levels? I know its hard not to worry. I will be thinking about you!

Lisak22

Alright, the doc just called, my levels today are 5700 something...he said as long as i dont have pains, stick with monday, if i have pains, call him right away. For some reason, my levels from the frist test arent in the system, he things because of the holiday...

well that made me feel a bit better, but, i dont want to bleed anymore ...thanks for all the advice, thoughts and prayers ladies!

My husband and I just found out the day after Christmas that we are expecting our first child together - he has two children that i claim as my own from his previous marriage. That would put me at about 5 weeks along. We had it confirmed at the doctor's office that following Monday. My first appt with my obgyn is on the 11th of this month (I would be about 7 weeks along).We are very exciting and I am a little nervous. This past year I lost over 100lbs because I had gastric bypass surgery. Now I am pregnant one year out. I have to take vitamins because of the surgery already and now I have added a prenatal vitamin and a DHA pill as well. When should I change my caloric intake up? I currently have it set at about1300 calories a day (which is to lose 2 pounds a week -- not that it is accurate). I don't want to go over board with gaining weight during my pregnancy (I understand that most of it comes off after you have the baby -- about 2-3 months after). Any suggestions out there for that?

I currently weight about 229lbs. Last year at this time I was 343lbs. So 229 is amazing to me -- I don't remember the last time I weighed this. I hope that I can have a healthy pregnancy and not gain like 50lbs.

How many ultrasounds do normal pregnancy have? How many are there with High Risk Pregnancies? I think since my surgery and bmi and weight that I will be considered high risk, but I am not sure -- guess i will find out more on the 11th.

I know usually between weeks 4-6 morning sickness is something that is common to start, but if my mother didn't have it, is it possible that I won't have it? I am a little over 5 weeks and haven't had any nausea at all yet **knock on wood** but could it be possible to have it after week 6?

What week do people normally start showing with their first pregnancies? Has any one here naturally concieved multiples?

Sorry for all the questions, but I am 'new' to this. Good luck and I hope everyone has a health pregnancy.

Chicken was a night mare my entire first pregnancy. And I couldn't eat any meat during my first trimester this time. Don't force yourself to eat anything that doesn't feel good right now. It is normal to feel that way about certain foods.

Congratulations!
To help answer some of your questions:
1. You don't have to change your caloric intake for a while. Baby is still very small and gets everything it needs from you. Eat when you are hungry, of course, allowing yourself to get too hungry can lead to overeating and morning sickness. Make sure you are eating nutrient rich foods, protein, calcium, and plenty of fruits, veggies, and whole grains. You don't have to gain any weight at all until probably well into your second trimester, and even if you gain very little weight everything will be perfect.
2. It won't necessarily come off as easily or fast as you think. So be sure to listen to your doctor and keep the weight gain under control.
3. It will depend on your doc on how many ultrasounds you have. I got them regularly because my doc had a portable machine and liked to check on things. However, it's normal to get only a few, sometimes even only 1 at around 20 weeks.
4. You will probably be considered high risk, more for your surgery than your BMI. I was 234 when I concieved my first daughter and had a perfectly healthy pregnancy and delivered an 8lb 4oz baby right on time. Again, follow your doctors instructions to the T.
5. You may or may not get morning sickness. Consider it a win if you don't! It doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the pregnancy. And it may hit you later, also. Every pregnancy is different. I had no morning sickness at all with my first and was miserable for 13 weeks with my second.
6. When you show will depend on a myriad of factors. Hou much belly fat you have, how tall you are, where baby implanted, where your placenta is, etc, etc, etc. I showed at 17 weeks with the first, and 9 weeks with the second.
7. My second pregnancy (ended in miscarriage) was naturally concieved twins. So, yes, it can happen.

I loved my pregnancies and love to talk about pregnancy and babies, so friend me if you want to chat more!!

Your weight alone won't make you high risk. maybe not low risk, but not high risk. U/S vary by doctor. I was 220 this and last time when I got pregnant and neither times has that effected my u/s. But i had an ectopic in between so early on I had one, but you can't see anything then anyway. Most docs give them around 18-19 weeks if you have no complications. Nausea usually starts at or after 6 weeks and ends around 12 for most women. Of course that varies.

I started showing what I would consider early. But not really to anyone else until I was 20 weeks. My pants got tight way before that, but I put on weight fast in the beginning. Talk to your doctor about your bypass surgery and ask him how that effects the babies nutrition. That is very important.

Hey, my partner & I are TTC too. I found out in June last year that I have PCOS which is what brought me to this site and I have made good progress so far.

I had no idea there was a group on here like this but what a great idea.

ckmama

Alright, the doc just called, my levels today are 5700 something...he said as long as i dont have pains, stick with monday, if i have pains, call him right away. For some reason, my levels from the frist test arent in the system, he things because of the holiday...

well that made me feel a bit better, but, i dont want to bleed anymore ...thanks for all the advice, thoughts and prayers ladies!

'

His concern with your levels can be M/C or ectopic. Depending on how far along you are 5700 would be good, that 's why he wanted to see your earlier levels to make sure they are doubling or going up. I had an ectopic previously and this time around we had to do the blood monitoring and early U/S like you. it was only at 5 weeks so we got to see the sac and that was pretty much it. We went back, I think 2 weeks later to see the yolk sac again to make sure things were progressing. I havent' had spotting before, but have had cramping, mildly in weeks 5 and 6. Good luck, don't worry. I know the waiting is hard. But with pregnancy, every pain makes you question whether something is wrong. It is normal.

Hi,

This is my first pregnancy as well but I think I can answer a couple questions for you. I had my first ultrasound at 6 weeks. I had a kind of slow heart beat so I had another at 8 weeks. Since everything was fine my next will be at 18 weeks.

I did not have any morning sickness until 6.5 weeks. Then it has been really bad for me, and my mom didn't have it either. Good luck

I have heard that people usually start showing aroung 12-20 weeks but it depends on the body type.

Happy New Year! We managed to stay up until about 11 before passing out on the couch. My husband woke me up ten minutes before the ball dropped, and we went to bed shortly after. I feel like such a grandma anymore, but it's kind of nice.

Went to the bathroom today and found a lot of blood on the toilet paper. I'm talking mid-period type amounts of bright red blood. My husband convinced me not to freak out (outwardly at least) and got out the fetal heart monitor. It took a bit but he finally found it. It was just as strong as ever, 170. I just burst out crying! I was so relieved. I can't wait to get this stupid cervical polyp out of me on Friday. It's never come close to bleeding like that before. It scared the bejesus out of me. I've been checking periodically throughout the day and the bleeding has slowed dramatically, if not completely stopped. I'm just going to relax and not worry myself anymore about it.

Welcome to all of the new ladies. This thread is so helpful. Even when I don't get a chance to post as often as I like, it's a great resource. I am learning new things all the time!

bridgett28

Thank you all for answering some of my questions. I will talk it over more with my doctore especially about nutrition.

You are all very insightful and I hope that this pregnancy will be a joyful one.

Thanks again. Can't wait for my first appt! I am excited.
