Good Morning Ladies,

I hope everyone is doing well. Happy first day of November!

I've made it to 18 weeks! I went to the doctor at the end of last week. I've gained about 6 lbs and the dr said I'm doing well with weight gain. I got to hear the heartbeat, what a wonderful sound. That always makes my day. Also, the dr ordered my 2nd trimester ultrasound, I can't wait until next Wednesday to see this new little person! Other than that, I am super tired and congested all the time! I was hoping this stuff would calm down in the second trimester, but it looks like it's here to stay. As long as the morning sickness is gone for good, I'm a happy camper.


Have a great day!

I'm glad the checkup went well. And yay about finding out the sex in just over a month! :bigsmile: Can I ask, though, why you have to have a c-section?

Happy November!

Ronya, thanks for your birthing story. I hope things are improving with little Kathryn. She's beautiful. Is she nursing better?

MissConfidence, Congrats! I'm 6 weeks pregnant tomorrow, so we're not far off from each other.

MrMarius, Welcome and congrats!

We told my side of the family yesterday, and they're all very excited. We haven't told hubbie's side because LAST time, my FIL announced it to the entire congregation at church the next Sunday. (Grrr!) He can't keep a secret, and since it's still early, we're going to wait a few more weeks before we tell them.

I'm not feeling poorly or anything, just cramping from my body adjusting and growing. They'll stop in a week or so. I feel dizzy more than anything, especially when I stand up fast.

I've been doing Crossfit pretty hardcore for the last 4 months. I've gotten a lot stronger and can lift a lot more weight, push myself farther, etc., but now that I'm pregnant, I'm concerned about how much I'm doing. I work out with a lady that's 28 weeks pregnant and she's still doing pullups, boxjumps, lifting weights, etc., but I'm worried because I lost the last one. I didn't lose it because of my active lifestyle, but I'm still concerned about messing something up. I'm afraid of it happening again and I don't want to give any possible reason to miscarry. Anyway, is there anyone else that's lifting weight while pregnant?

I've been lifting weights with no problems. I haven't done it in about a week just because I'm almost 9 weeks and EXHAUSTED. To go to the gym would mean getting out of bed at 4:30 and I am way to tired right now to lose an hour of sleep.

jsmith2377

Got on the scale this morning and holy water weight batman! Now, I need to go find my water bottle to get this all out of me!

I'd love to join!

My goal is to lose 50lbs by February so we can TTC. I'm 17lbs down since Sept!

sandijones5783

I am having a repeat c section, my first was vaginal, my second turned breech at 38 weeks lol i am having my tubes tied and devided it would be easier just to get it all done at once plus i have pretty big babies and the hospital is over an hour away so just better to try and plan it all out unless this baby decides to come early. My other 2and were very comfy and didn't want to come out lol

jalyner

Yay!! I can't wait to hear a heartbeat!

HI everybody!

I'm 7 weeks pregnant with #3. My first dr appt is next Friday- can't wait!

jalyner- I totally know that feeling! We also lost our first PG and I blamed it on exercise (and lots of other things).. but my dr said really it's not related. Just sometimes these things happen- very common in the first tri (but enough of that here!)

I did exercise throughout the next pregnancy and everything went fine.. my daughter is 4 1/2 With my next one, let's just say I regretted not exercising more! For now I'm trying to be as active as possible before the morning sickness comes...

Looking forward to spending the next few months with you guys!

Thank you! I can't believe I'm already down that much.

Hey ladies!

Welcome to November!

I only posted 1 time to introduce myself in October and never made it back. I hope to be much better this month. Now that I am 2nd tri and starting to feel better I think things will improve with energy.

Tomorrow is my NT scan and I can't wait! Dh can't go with . A good friend of mine was supposed to go but miscarried last week so I refuse to let her go. She insisted on going and I told her under no uncertain terms would I allow that. It would be too hard for her! So, by myself I go. It's ok, seeing the baby will be great with an added bonus of making sure he/she is healthy!

Hello wonderful ladies! Yay it's November! One month away from finding out if it's a boy (hopefully ) or a girl :bigsmile:

Glad to hear all the check ups are going well and welcome to the new comers!

Amy_36, we are pretty darn close to each other! :laugh: Sorry you will be going by yourself. Hopefully DH will be able to join you next time.

I'm feeling good those days. I managed to go to zumba for the first time in months and it felt amazing! I am going to keep it in my goals to make it to at least one class a week (if not 2). Today I have absolutely no appetite. Any one experience this, is it normal? Earlier I couldn't go with out eating something like every 2 hours and here I am today and only had cereal, banana, nutty bar, and water and doing fine. I have even lost a few lbs in the last week or so. I don't know what is going on.
Anyone thinking of a babymoon? My hubs and I LOVE to travel and have been throwing around the idea of a quick day trip somewhere... Just to get away.
Happy Hump day!

Hi ladies! Just wanted to say hello and welcome to all the newcomers! This past weekend we had my cousins wedding. Hubby and I had an awesome time. It was one of my last weekends off until the baby comes. Sad that I wont have any more days off with him but we had such a great time. Hopefully these next 6-9 weeks flies by! Hope you are all having a great week!

Wishfulmama

Hello ladies.... I would LOVE to join this group a little bit about me : I am 28 & the mother of an amazing 7 y/o boy & a precious 3 y/o girl. We would like to get pregnant with number 3 within the next couple of months. I have PCOS & I am treating that now. I can't wait to get to know you all :flowerforyou:

sandijones5783

Hi! I'm here as an optimist, this being our first cycle of TTC our second child. I've been reading all the '10 signs of pregnancy' articles on the Internet, and comparing to last time, and I really think I might be pregnant already, or maybe it's just wishful thinking :laugh:

Welcome! I got preggo my first cycle as well. My doc actually said you're more likely to get pregnant the first month off bc because of how fertile you are that first month! Good luck and again welcome!

Appointment went good today, tummy is 36 cm. Dr. said it's a good size baby. Go back the 18th.

Anyone have any tips for getting a breech baby to flip?

I've heard getting on your hands and knees for awhile or even crawling around helps. Don't know if it's a wives tale or if it really helps but I know someone who said it helped her.

MissConfidence

Ahh all i want to do is sleeeeeep!! I'm so tired!!! I am 8 weeks 1 day pregs with first baby and apart from feeling tired I don't really feel pregnant. I mean, not that I know what it's supposed to feel like. It's all still very surreal to me to be honest. I've gotten an ultra sound and saw the little lentil was where it's supposed to be which is good, and that was a little bit of a reality check but not totally. Weeks 5 and 6 I was getting these intense cramps and so I thought that's what pregnant feels like but that ended week 6 and morning sickness hit me hard sporadically, maybe 3 days total so far. Anyway, I am sure once I start seeing something it will hit me... Though that may take a while because no matter how much exercise I seem to do I still have a beer gut. I guess it was all the beer over the years. Yuck. Haha

sandijones5783

Good luck! My son turned breech at 38 weeks and i tried the hands and knee thing, putting music to my belly, taking a bath, and even my doctor said his daughter was breech and his wife drank a soda and she turned but didnt recommend that lol i tried once and nothing worked.
