hi all! i am going to go back and read all of the posts to try to get to know you all...but hope you dont mind me jumping in! i just joined today and the first thing i did was search for pregnancy threads as i just hit 8 weeks yesterday! this is our first baby and we're super thrilled!
the thing that is getting me now is fatigue. i literally can not keep my eyes open after 9/9:30 at night and its been such a struggle waking up in the morning! but i am trying to muscle through it and praying for some energy down the road. also...i am literally turned off by veggies...like raw veggies/salads...its the most insane thing to me because i LOVED salads! i would have one every day at lunch...and now...the thought of one turns my stomach which is no bueno! really hoping for this to turn around sometime soon because i know how important veggies are! and my other thing...sweets...i have a wicked sweet tooth...and i have been eating a decent sized dessert every day. i joined this to try to stay on track because i want to be healthy for me and most of all the baby :happy:
CONGRATS to all who are pregnant! and i am so happy to have found this thread!!!0 -
Happy Thursday Ladies!
My pre pregnancy goal was 130 and I got down to 132 every now and then. But my body really seems to like to weight 135 so I would be happy to get back to that as my goal. I am so jealous for those who are losing weight. No matter what I do I seem to gain weight. My mom said she was the same way but that she lost most of it very quickly after giving birth. So hopefully I will be the same.
Well I better go. I have lots of work today. Have a great day!

My goal weight after the baby is around 150-155. I'd like to aim a little less, but I too like my wine and margaritas a little too much. Although with breastfeeding I won't be drinking much so it's always a possibility.0

Hi all
)
I'm so glad I found this thread! I am 8 weeks pregnant with my first! I have my very first ultrasound today and I"m so SO excited!
This pregnancy is such a blessing because for the past year I went through a lot of testing & waiting to find out if I could conceive.
I had a laparoscopy & hysteroscopy on May 24th and they found out my uterus is slightly heart shaped and I have endometriosis but otherwise totally normal...then bam! As soon as I was feeling better I got pregnant!
I still have to pinch myself and remind myself that this is real...my husband and I are beyond thrilled!
I want to be as healthy and active as I possibly can throughout my pregnancy and I am so glad to have found a support group!
Very exciting!
Congrats to all the mommy's-to-be and I can't wait to get to know you all better!!

That is so funny! I am having such a hard time with fatigue as well! I am literally in bed by 9 the LATEST every night.
I also can't stand veggies right now either! I crave fruit ALL the time and can't really stomach any sort of vegetable aside from carrots...so it's been a lot of smoothies for me in the morning (I sneak spinach in there for some sort of Vegetable!) lol0 -

In my first trimester I couldn't do a lot of veggies and wanted nothing but cake. I've been fine since the 2nd trimester and there aren't really any foods that bother me now (except i still want cake ). 0

my goal is 128-i am 5'2....I got down to 134 but i know i can do 128 if i kick my own butt and change some drinking/snacking habits;)0

I can't wait to workout like normal! That is all:0)
Oh and a cute story:
My 8 yr old neighbor is so cute. I come home from work last night and he greets me then starts looking all awkward and says "I'm afraid to ask this" as he glances at my growing belly. Then blurts out "My mom thinks you are pregnant", haha. You know his mom told him it's not polite to ask. So now the neighborhood kids know and they are super excited to have a new friend coming. Too cute!0 -
Hi ladies!
Wow, lots of activity and new folks this week. Welcome!
For post baby workouts - I am hoping to be able to get back to it within a couple of weeks. First, I'd love to get my running back to four days a week and jump up my mileage again. Since I've still been about 10 miles/wk (although we'll see if I can make it past three miles tomorrow) I am hoping that the transition back will be pretty easy. I am planning to run another marathon in 2012 (don't know which one yet) with my best friend in memory of a great friend of ours that passed away five years ago. Our girlfriend was taken much too young (31) and was really trying to get a marathon accomplished before she got so sick. We just think it'd be a nice way to remember and honor her. I'm also intrigued with the Tracy Anderson workout so I will add that for the times that I need to workout while bambino sleeps. I will also continue with yoga - it's pretty cool that the studio I use has a mom and baby class so you can bring bambino along so you don't have to miss out. :-) As for weight, I think 145ish is my goal. I absolutely love how I look at 140-142, but it is a struggle to keep myself there. My body seems happiest around 145-148 so that will be my starting point.
Nichole - I love the neighbor story! Kids are so cute in how they approach things, but you know his mom is happy to now know!!0 -
Welcome to the newcomers! We are so glad to have you...jump right in!
I also have had some issues with veggies...in my first trimester I wanted nothing to do with them and then after I got back to a pretty normal eating pattern, if I ate a lot of veggies it would hurt my belly! Go figure. Something so good for you makes you so miserable! Now fruit...I could eat fresh fruit ALL day long! That is the one thing I LOVE about summer is all the fruit!
Nichole that is too cute! My friend's 6 year old told me after I had told her I was pregnant that "my mommy told me you had a baby in your tummy but it would be rude of me to say something so she said to wait until you told me...but I already knew cause your belly has gotten bigger". LOL! Gotta love kids honesty!
So I've found a new addiction...a place called Yogurtini! It is a self-serve frozen yogurt shop with just about everything you could imagine to top off your frozen yogurt. I'm so glad it is an hour away cause I'm pretty sure I'd be there EVER single day if it were closer. The frozen yogurt is pretty healthy...the millions of toppings, not so much.
I didn't get in a workout today but plan on doing an hour on the bike and an hour of Tracy Anderson for toning tomorrow. I truly wish it would cool off so I could get outside and walk... Oh I also found out yesterday that my husband (he is an instructor pilot who flies the apache helicopter for the Army) is going to have to leave again... For all of you who have been on the board for a little while you know that he has been gone for 6 months in the past year and just returned home 3 weeks ago so for him to leave again is just a bit of a bummer. He is going to North Carolina to do some more training for 2-3 weeks. A very short trip, but leaving none the less. I'm not complaining cause this is the life we chose...it is just not in the plans I guess so it has bummed me out a little but I will be fine.
Hope you ladies had a great day and yay tomorrow is Friday!!!

I found out a couple of days ago that I am pregnant. I've been on a weight loss journey for a few months now and have lost close to 40 lbs (40% of my goal loss). I have had 2 miscarriages in the past and suffered from 3 years of infertility. Apparently all I needed to do was get rid of some of my extra baggage. I'm so thrilled but also a little afraid too. I'm fairly certain that my first 2 miscarriages were due to LARGE amounts of travel (I'm talking 14-16 hour drives and plane trips back and forth) and my weight. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this pregnancy goes well (no trips planned at all). I'm a lot healthier now than I was then, even though I weight a little bit more. I don't smoke anymore, rarely drink and I exercise a lot.
I'm currently 5 weeks and trying to figure out how to get past the nausea, exhaustion, light headedness, and chocolate craving. I did buy a bag of mini chocolate bars and I'm hoping one a day will curb the insane craving. And of course trying to keep from going insane with worry about miscarrying again.0 -
Hi everyone! I hope ya'll don't mind if I jump in!
I had my firstborn last July so now my big boy is a toddling 1 year old! My husband and I are expecting baby #2! I am almost 11 weeks along. We are thrilled to be bringing more fun and entertainment to our household come February.
During my first pregnancy, I ate whatever and gained 40lbs. After these last 12 months of breastfeeding, using MFP, and exercising I lost all but the last 7lbs of it before we got pregnant again. My goal weight for this pregnancy is really no more than 30ish lbs. I had my first midwife appointment last Tuesday. It wasn't anything super exciting..just paperwork. She didn't find the heartbeat yet and she couldn't do my lab work because my veins have a tendency to move and bend so she'll wait until next time when I have more blood volume to fill 'em up! tehehe I haven't gained any weight yet so that's a good start! My goal is to just keep moving and make healthy food choices. Are there any other home birth mommies out there? Anyone due in February? Looking forward to keeping in touch with everyone!0 -
Welcome all the newbies!
Heather, that is so cute. I love kids! Just think we will have one of our own to blurt out our secrets, haha... Too bad you couldn't come to NC with your hubby. I assume he is going to Fort Bragg which is about 2 hours from where I live. I'm sorry he has to go away again that must really get old. Just tell him he better be there for the birth.... We have a lot of those yogurt bars. They are really good. We have one right near our grocery store which is always busy.
Michelle, that's great that you have not gained any weight yet. Sounds like you are on track.
MidniteDayDream, you just have to listen to your body. Push it a little but realize when it's time to back off. I did ok up until 8 weeks. I felt crummy pretty much until 12-13 weeks. Now I'm feeling like myself again. I have gained more than I would have like to but I need to workout a lot to keep the weight I like so being pregnant has slowed me down from doing everything I normally do. But it will be worth it and I can get it off once babies out. Good luck to you!
Holly, that is so neat about your baby yoga class. I would love to do something like that.
Sorry if I missed anyone. I usually respond back per page.
Happy Friday to all! Anyone doing anything fun this weekend?

Hello everyone and happy Friday! There's all kinds of new peeps and chatter! Good times. I sit at a desk all day so check in frequently so I actually do get excited when there are new posts. Since we have so many new peeps, should we do a little info about everyone? We did this maybe a month or so ago but some may have left and there are lots of new people. OK, well I'll go and if anyone else wants to follow, cool.

We have a full weekend ahead of us. Tonight some friends from St. Louis are staying with us. We have dinner plans at my favorite restaurant. Anyone know if ceviche is okay to eat? Technically it is cooked. Hmmmm..... Tomorrow is more basement work; we're getting closer to completion! Tomorrow night we have a surprise party for my husband's brother in law. Sunday we have a birthday part dinner at a sushi place. :sad: I miss sushi. Oh, and I have a pedicure planned with a friend Sunday afternoon as well. I hope to find at least a couple hours to read in the sun and be lazy. Hope you all have a great weekend! Now I guess I should do some work....0 -
In my first trimester I couldn't do a lot of veggies and wanted nothing but cake. I've been fine since the 2nd trimester and there aren't really any foods that bother me now (except i still want cake ).
that is hysterical! i seriously dream about sweets all day! last night it was baskin robins which is a 2 minute walk from my house! need to get past these cravings:)0 -
Great idea Ashley! Oh and I would probably say ceviche is not a good idea for 2 reasons, it is usually made with sea bass which is really high in mercury and it is raw. The acidity of the juice it is in makes the texture feel cooked but it doesn't get rid of the bacteria and parasites as cooking would. And there is cooked sushi, just don't get raw! Like shrimp rolls or something.

Worst thing about being pregnant: not being able to workout at 100% of my norm, being more run down easily, having people treat me like a invalid0 -
Ashley, I agree with Heather and would stay away from the ceviche. For sushi you can go with some of the veggie options or cooked fish, certainly not the same as the sashimi or spicy tuna rolls (one of my favorites!), but at least you don't have to completely miss out.
Oh Heather! Sorry to hear about Al's training. The joys of a military life. At least it is a short trip this time. You will definitely have more of a pronounced bump by the time he comes home and Charlee will be moving like crazy.
Managed to get in four miles this morning. Surprisingly, no pains at all this week. As I've been saying for a while now, I keep thinking it might be my last week of running, but bambino and I are still going strong. I've bumped up my upper body strength training over the last few weeks which will hopefully help with all the lifting to come in a few short weeks. One of my girlfriends had a beautiful baby boy last night - natural birth and mommy and baby are doing great!

Hi Ashley,
I have stayed away from raw fish, until this week I shared a spicy tuna roll, I just couldn't help myself any longer:) I figure I went to a great pace-w/ high scores w/ the health dpt, the chance of it being bad is next to nothing, and if you think about what our parents did when they were prego, and we all turned out ok:laugh:

Best thing about being pregnant: Just SO happy to be pregnant. I thought I couldn't get pregnant, they thought I had a bicornuate or septate uterus and other fertility complications like PCOS etc, waited almost a year (after trying for a year) to get a laparoscopy & hysteroscopy to find out what we were dealing with - turns out my uterus is ok (only slightly heart shaped) and 3 weeks after the surgery I found out I was pregnant! Go figure! It's a miracle
Worst thing about being pregnant: the pregnancy fatigue, nausea and acne! I look like a haggard teenager! LOL...when do you start to glow? haha0 -

I was supposed to start metformin in a month or two, but apparently all I needed to do was lose weight.
Worst thing about being pregnant: The exhaustion. OMG I have never been so tired!!!! And the nausea.... and the Lightheadedness and dizziness. Chocolate craving.............0 -
HI Ladies,
Whew! Finally had the chance to catch up on July's posts. Just taking a few minutes to respond here before I make my lunch for tomorrow and head to bed. These 12 hour days are loooooong and I'm feeling pooped lately (really noticing the fatigue in this last trimester).
To answer Heather's questions about post-baby workouts and goal weight: I'm very much looking forward to getting a good sweat on again. My goal is to complete Lindsay Brin's 60 Day PostNatal Slim Down when the Doc gives me the go ahead to exercise again (VBAC vs C-Section dependent) and then probably carry on with P90X or even Power 90. Until the sign off I'll definitely be stroller walking. After the unexpected c-section with #1 I was moving for at least 20 minutes a day (albeit slow-paced turtle walks at first) and finally was given the go ahead to exercise after 6 weeks. I jumped into Slim in 6, 30 Day Shred and finally Insanity before getting pregnant again. :-)
As for goal weight, I'm 5'7" and I was happy at 155 when I got pregnant with #2, fitting back into Size 6 jeans. Ultimately I'd love to be back around 147-150.
And now for the 'getting to know you':

Occupation: 911 Fire Dept Dispatcher
Husband Info: Tyler, Fire Fighter
Best thing about being pregnant: People seeing me with my 14 month old and saying 'You're very brave!'. That and the baby bump. I love my big bump! Really just trying to enjoy every movement and the kind people offering to do things for me as this will more than likely (?!) be my last pregnancy.
Worst thing about being pregnant: Swollen ankles and spider veins!
Have a great weekend everyone.0 -
Welcome newbies!
I love all of your goals for after baby! I think with us staying so active/healthy during pregnancy, we are bound to jump right back into our routines and accomplish our goals! I keep stressing about how much weight I'm gaining (with eating healthy and working out at least 5 days a week and at LEAST 1 hour, most days 2 hours a day)...but was told by many people that women who gain more weight by eating healthy and still being active usually shed it very quickly after the baby is born as opposed to the women who eat junk and gain 25lbs and fight to get it off after baby. I truly hope this is true!
I've been having a lot of Braxton hicks contractions and Charlee seems to not like it at all. She kicks like crazy after I have one. I've been having them at night which wakes me up with her kicking so hard. Guess I'm gearing up already for sleepless nights! lol We are also getting the nursery painted in 3 weeks. I can't wait! We are painting the room "Antiguan Sky"...I even love the name of the color! We should post pics of our nurseries when they are done or close to being done!
Holly you are getting so close! That ticker is starting to run out of room at the end! 0 -

Occupation: "Household Management Specialist" RESPONSIBILITIES: The rest of your life. Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily, until someone needs $5. Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly. Also, must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf. Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers. WAGES AND COMPENSATION: Get this! You pay them! Offering frequent raises and bonuses. When you die, you give them whatever is left. The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more. BENEFITS: While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered; this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth and free hugs for life if you play your cards right. Haha!
Husband Info: David,27 works for Union Pacific Railroad
Best thing about being pregnant: helping God preform the miracle of life! I love each and every step of the way even when it gets tough. I love feeling my child grow inside me knowing that I am their main source of life. Oh! and hiccups are the cutest!
Worst thing about being pregnant: the nausea and heightened sense of smell.0 -
I got a new (well new to me) treadmill and am pretty excited to be able to use it instead of my Spinning bike today as opposed to driving 20 mins for the gym! Yay!
Anyone else getting some pretty intense Braxton Hicks contractions?! I get them in the middle of the night lately and they wake me up, especially cause Charlee despises them and starts kicking like crazy! I was told that as long as they aren't coming in timed intervals then I should be okay. Now that I'm just at 24wks my biggest worry is premature labor... Funny how our fears change throughout the pregnancy... My 24wk appointment is tomorrow. I'm sure it will be fairly uneventful.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!0 -

Worst thing about being pregnant: Being paranoid of all that i eat and do, if it will affect the baby. Seriously, my first is 13, and it is a major gap.0 -
I'm going to try my hand at this forum thing as I could use some motivation! I'm Kara, 33 and almost 12 weeks pregnant with surprise baby number 4. I've been slacking off this first trimester due to feeling like crap but I'm feeling better now and ready to start doing better! My weight has been all over-- from severly overweight to anorexic at 75 lbs and everywhere in between. I've completely beat the anorexia and started this pregnancy a bit chunkier than I should have. Now that I'm no longer restrictive, I just want to eat everything, especially when pregnant, but would really like to avoid a huge weight gain! I stay away from the scale except at the dr but I feel like I've already packed it on. Oh well, I can only move forward from here and do my best to have a healthy pregnancy. Look forward to getting to know you all! Congrats to everyone!0

Hi all! I think my bambino has re-adjusted today and keeps pushing on my lungs. Feel like I have very little room to breathe! My run was a bit of a challenge today because of that, but I figure concentrating on my breathing should only help with labor right?!
Heather, yes, I have been having some very sporadic Braxton Hicks, but mine only started over the past couple of weeks. My bambino is starting to run out of room so the movements are feeling quite different these days, feels more like twisting and stretching. My sister is a NICU RN and she would tell you that you are viable now.....not that we want Charlee to arrive this early! I'm pretty sure you've had a normal pregnancy so far so it's probably just that irrational fear that seems to catch us from time to time during this amazing process. I'll keep you and Charlee in my prayers for a full-term arrival. Good luck with the appointment tomorrow. I go for my 34 week on Thursday. Time is absolutely flying by.
Hope everyone has a great week and is able to keep up with their nutrition and workout goals :-)0
