lainerigs

congrats!! It's funny I feel weird posting on here because I have not told anyone yet. (well, besides my husband).... but I'm going to try to eat healthy and not go crazy!! I hope this helps, plus I'd like to keep up with other women who are also pregnant and focused on a healthy lifestyle.

I just found out I am pregnant for the first time ever a little over 48 hours ago. I haven't had an official check up with the dr. yet and my estimated due date based on my last cycle and some very helpful websites is October 25th. I just told my husband last night for Valentine's day and he is pretty much freaking out lol. Haven't told anyone yet - I wanted to get really fit before having a baby but God had another plan, apparently. I had lost only 15 lbs which is better than nothing but I am still over 200 by about 10 lbs and I am freaking out about gaining more than I've lost. I've heard from friends in similar weight ranges and online that the weight recommendation for people my size is anywhere between 11-25 lbs. Both the high and low end of these numbers are worrying me for opposite reasons. 11 doesnt sound healthy and 25 sounds like I'll be fat forever lol. I don't know when we are going to start telling people but I know I'll just burst if I say nothing at all to anyone, which is why I am posting and pretty much going on and on right now.
I already had a hormonal outburst at my husband this morning when he told me not to tell anyone :-( I have always said that whenever I found out I was preggo, I'd wait until at least 8-12 weeks when things are more "sure" of working out but I never imagined telling literally NO ONE and how hard that would be.
It hurts me that one of the first topics my husband brough up after hearing the news was my weight... and how much he thinks I should eat or not eat or gain or not gain... a close friend of ours recently had a pretty rough pregnancy resulting in a 9 lb baby and a c-sec -- who happens to practically be my twin when it comes to weight struggles. I know he is just concerned about my health and the baby's health but my hormones are telling me he just doesnt want a cow wife lol.
BLAH there it is.
I'm gonna be a Mommy. I am over the moon excited but scared at the same time. Let's not even get into the "practical' worries like money and living situation lol.

we won't be telling people until after the first trimester!! only our parents and my 3 best friends know right now !!

Roll Call? Lol. Add me to October 2012 list! Due around 10/27. According to blood test i'm only 2-3 weeks. We couldn't wait to start telling people so we broke the news yesterday but had already told our family on Sunday when I took hpt. Gained 45 lbs with 1st so my goal is to keep up my new healthy lifestyle by continuing exercising 3 to 4 days a week and counting my calories and hope to gain a normal 25-35 lbs this time. My last was born 7/5/10 and I was miserably hot and swollen, so yay for fall babies!

lainerigs

Yeah! I'm so glad our October group is growing!! I am going to try to wait until after the first trimester to tell people -- IF It's not obvious by then. I already feel bloated and I already feel like it's obvious!!

To KelEScott.... Congrats on the baby news!! It sounds like Maybe your husband is trying to show concern for the baby... but it seems like he's going about it all the wrong way. Don't focus too much on your weght during pregnancy. I say just be careful about your choices, don't go too crazy and worry about losing weight after the baby is born. (easier said than done, right?!)

allisonj87

I just took a hpt last night and another this morning both positive. I am going to the dr for the official result today. According to my last monthly I'm due October 12!! My plan is to not gain as much as I did the first pregnancy(115 to 172). I would like to try and eat healthier and stay active.

lainerigs

Congrats Allison!! i'm totally with you. I went from 130 to 200lbs during my first pregnancy... which I really don't get because I ate pretty healthy and ran for the first 7 months. Honestly, after that I just gave up and ate whatever I wanted.... Then I had a csection, so it was tough to get the weight off. I'm back to about 145 (I'm 5'10") and hoping to only gain the recommended 25-35 lbs this time around. I'm hoping this site will at least keep me accountable.

KelEScott

Thanks Lainerigs - i feel much better today about it all :-)

Kerrbear - we are right around the same time! I had my blood test done last night with results today of 162 and my first apt on March 6th :-) congrats to you and all other October babies!

Praying for safe and healthy, full term babies and mommies!

luv2liv4them

hi ladies! i recently found out i am pregnant. this after losing 36lbs, thanks to adapting to a "southbeach diet" eating habit and using mfp. i have always gained too much weight during my pregnancies, i have 3 children. i'm hoping to stay on top of it this time. my due date as of right now is 10/11/12. this will be number 4 for me god willing. i have had 3 miscarriages in the last year, 2 early on and 1 at 16weeks. i am high risk so i am really serious about maintaining a healthy diet. anything to give my little guy a better chance! congrats to all of you!!!

RealChange31

Hurray for babies!! Congrats to all!

I'm about 5 weeks along, according to my ovulation date. Due date is October 18!
This will be my first, and I just can't wait for my ultrasound. I'm super-nervous that something has or will go wrong and I won't know about it.

Time seems to be passing SOOO slowly!! It's a waiting and hopeing game.

Has anyone gained much yet? I feel like I'm becoming the good-year blimp!! It could be due to the progesterone suppositories I'm taking.

Hugs and to good health! Please add me as a friend if you like

im 4 weeks and 5 days-due October 25th! we just found out on valentines day! i wont be going for a doc checkup until probably next month and we decided not to tell family and friends and facebook people until middle of april when i'm done with the first trimester. this will be our third (and last!!) child. i have a 10 year old and 20 month old boys. right now they are blessed to be at home with my husband and the plan is for me to (finally!) be a SAHM once the baby is born. ive worked full time since i had my first baby at age 19. its means ALOT of financial sacrifices, but we are determined to do it!! and im very excited but nervous!!
feel free to add me as a friend-i could use some positive pregnant mommies as friends!! :-)

kerrbear79

Awww very sorry to hear that baybeecakes. =( Keep up your positive attitude.

Jillsie11

I'm 4.5 weeks along, due October 28th-ish with my second. Gained 40 lbs my first pregnancy which isn't too bad, but I'd like to do better this time around-esecially in the first trimester. So, I'm going to attempt to continue working out pretty reguarly even with morning sickness. Very excited for this baby number 2!

M_lifts

really sorry to hear that babybeecakes

fingers crossed you get your bfp soon

Hi - I haven't had my first official visit with the doc yet but according to the charts I'm 7w1d and the due date is 10.10.12. Will have a better idea March 5th - can't wait. I'm really hoping not to gain this time around. I was overweight with my first and managed to only gain 5 pounds in the end and my doc was very pleased. Not so sure what she is going to say this time around, though as I'm 10 pounds heavier than last time... just praying all goes well and I can be more active and healthier for the both of us.

Hi guys! I'm due 10-20 with baby #2. I had a tiny bit of spotting earlier in the week so my nurse sent me for blood work to check my HCG numbers. On Tuesday they were 3,351. I'll get my results tomorrow from the blood they took today. If they doubled then I'll get to schedule an u/s to make sure everything is going well

I don't see my Dr. until March 14th. I'll be almost 8 weeks by then. My goal this pregnancy is to not gain 60 lbs like last time!!!!
Congrats everyone!!
~ Jamie

I just found out today that I am due Oct. 21 (my wedding anniversary) with baby number 4. I have 3 girls currently. Since November I have lost about 15 pounds. I only took a pregnancy test because my eating was off and I wanted to do an all veggie/fruit cleanse for a week and realized when I was about to take the test that I was 4 days late. My husband and I never have safe sex because we have issues with fertility. My youngest is 4 years old and from the time she was born until July of last year when I had my first miscarriage ever I didn't get pregnant so we don't worry about it much. So, seeing a BFP Wednesday night was a SHOCKER! Although I'm disappointed I will not be seeing my goal weight (only 7 lbs left to go) soon, I am excited about this new little surprise.

babybeecakes- I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I'm praying for a BFP in the near future. Sure are some little cuties in your profile pic.

I wish everyone else a safe, healthy happy pregnancy.

kerrbear79

Pregnancy brain is in full force for me!! Anyone else? Good grief I don't remember it happening so early last time. I've had it since the very beginning of this one, but now it's baaaaaaaaaaaaad. We flew out of state this past weekend & I lost or misplaced my driver's license. I NEVER do that. I am the most organized person ever. Today I burned my lunch because I got the cooking time wrong. I NEVER do that. Lots of things like this keep happening. Driving me crazy! Approaching the 6 week mark & praying I don't get m/s this time. That's when it started last time. Fingers crossed. How is everyone else?

RealChange31

I TOTALLY have a case of "The Pregnancy Stupids". I keep forgetting to do simple things: locking my car, bringing my wallet to the store, yadda yadda.

I'm a bit worried about m/s too, but all we can do is hope. Sending sweet baby vibes to all!

I just found out I'm pregnant! This is a total shock as I have a 5.5 month old AND a 2yo.

I am due 11/2, but will have this baby at the end of October via c-section. I'm only 5ish wks along now. SOOO glad I found this group!

i keep forgetting things too. the thing that is getting to me the most is the extreme tiredness! i could sleep all day
