Hey ladies
I am 20w3d - due Halloween (spooky)
This is my first pregnancy - and Im learning a lot along the way

Took DH and I 16m of TTC (with pcos) but I have been blessed so far!
I lost 115lbs before getting pregnant - but because I am still "obese" its been recommended I gain no more than 10lbs.
Trying to do my best to keep healthy and grow a healthy baby : )

    Congratulations on your weight loss! That's wonderful. Congratulations on your pregnancy, too. :) I'm so excited!

    I'm also trying to gain only 11-20 pounds this pregnancy and I'd love to help support you and vice versa. Feel free to "friend" me.

    This is my third pregnancy (my first two were successful and ended in wonderful children - we'll see about this one :), so I've "been around the block" a few times, I suppose. :)

    Hey there I am due on Halloween too!!! Its my fav time of year so I am really excited. This is my second child. I have a 5 year old boy who will be 6 when the baby is born. We have already found out that this one is a boy too :) I was doing really good at my weight gain until last week. I was really swollen, so the Dr. ( who is usually very insensitive about my weight) was not concerned about it. I am having a lot of horribleproblems that are not a staple of the pregnancy issues. Right now I am dealing with horrible asthma which landed me in the hospital a few weeks ago. I go to a specialist next week, so hopefully that will help!!! Congrats!!!!!!!

    welcome to the group! sounds like you know how to manage your weight. I'm about 30 weeks along now and have gained maybe 13 lbs, MFP is a big help, just to keep my mind in the right place and out of the drive-thru!
