I'm 26 weeks today, and up 5 lbs.
I had been working out and logging pretty consistently for two years, and my weight hadn't changed all that much (other than the initial drop). My body composition however had changed a LOT, especially since starting heavy lifting.
Turns out the wine was probably to blame for the lack of movement on the scale.
Saw the doctor yesterday, and everything is healthy and going smoothly.0 -
Oh man the heartburn! Anyone else suffering? What is working for you?0
-
I'm popping over from June....Tums extra strength is the only thing that helps my heartburn once I have it. Preventing it by drinking lots of water and avoiding acidic foods/drinks is the only other thing I can recommend.0

We are due 7/6/13 and couldn't be happier! Stick with MFP through the entire pregnancy has been easier than I thought0

Due July 30.
I didn't gain weight forever because I was so sick. Now I realize that I need to go back to tracking calories/exercise because it's coming on too fast (less than 5 lbs still, but I am only supposed to gain 11-15).
Wish me luck! I'M HUGE!0 -
Update: just about four weeks since I posted this and I am proud to say I have stuck to my exercise goals of AT LEAST 5 miles a week but have been doing more like 7-12 miles and have increased my speed and can run again (for no more than 5 minutes or I think the pain I feel is BH so I slow down again)
I would love more prego friends! 26 weeks prego this week, Add me22 +1 and up 16.8lbs
I feel like that's not too bad, and appears to be on target with the recommended 30ish pound healthy weight gain but I feel and look MUCH larger than that number.
I was incredibly lazy and exhausted the whole first trimester and so have not exercised like i should. I'm getting very self conscious and want to remain fit and pregnant so I am starting back again today with commitment to 5 miles a week. I know that's not a lot - I used to do 5 miles a day but I don't want to over exert myself. I will build up to walking more when I feel my body can handle it again.
Feel free to friend me!0 -

I am not sure what I expected, given how poorly I have been eating... but two weeks in a row of +2.5lb gain is not in my plan. So far I have tracked everything I ate today... hoping to turn things around and return to a more manageable 1lb/week gain for the remaining weeks.0 -

so thankful that I kept it to just +1lb this week. I drank lots more water, logged almost everyday and forced down the veggies. it worked!0 -
I can only escape the heartburn if I take tums/rolaids before a meal that I know will trigger it. And even then I still may have it hours later! Good luck!0

I've got to remember to start coming here more!
I'm at 28wks, up 11.5# total, so I'm feeling pretty snazzy about that. Except for the fact that the third trimester is usually half a pound to a pound a week, for normal weight person, to put on. So, here's hoping!0 -
28w 2d and feeling HUGE! It's hard to believe we still have 12ish weeks to go!
How is everyone feeling?0 -
28 weeks 5 days and also feeling huge! My back and belly are starting to get sore. It is hard to stand or sit for any real length of time. I imagine it only gets worse! I teach orchestra, so am on my feet most of the day playing/conducting, and trying to find stools to sit on to make things more comfortable. Nothing is really working wonders though
Suddenly needing much more sleep again. 9pm is really my ideal bedtime, even though it is almost impossible with how many after school obligations I have through May. I will make it! Going to have to kick the cats out of the bedroom, since all of their walking about constantly wakes me up.
Otherwise enjoying all of the constant squirming in my belly. Things definitely are starting to feel more real 0 -
29 weeks 5 days and counting!
I have cankles and back pain and feel huge and miserable lol. Cant wait till this is over. going to OB every 2 weeks now! yay!0 -
I'm 30 weeks 1 day. Not sure how much I've gained. I try not to stress too much about it. I gain tons of water weight when pregnant. Last time I probably peed out 15 pounds after my son was born. Haha. But I'm starting to watch my calories a bit and stay active so I don't gain much more. This pregnancy has gone by so fast, I can't believe there's only 10ish weeks left.0

Cool, I have a midwife too! I don't have an appointment until May 22nd though so hopefully my baby is turning down too Almost 30 weeks, time flies! 0 -
28 weeks yesterday, and my scale broke last week. I keep forgetting to replace it whenever I'm out! Probably because I'm afraid of what it will say!0

seeing a pattern emerge. one week I am up 2lbs, the next its only 0.5lbs. I think I will start freaking out less about the 2lb weeks and not getting quite so smug about the 0.5lb weeks
keep it up ladies, we are almost there!0
