    How are all the January Mums to be doing weight wise ? I was on the top end of 'normal bmi' when I became pregnant so hubby hasn't been able to feel little one kick yet, I suppose baby has more fat to be felt through. He thinks he felt a faint kick last night which was super exciting :)

    I can feel the baby kicking but once again hubs is missing out as the placenta is at the front, bummer, that's two for two.

    As for weight, I'm slow starting to gain thanks largely to winter bugs (started at healthy weight, BMI 22) but am now getting heavier - bubs is nice and big though.

    I am due January 16th with my first. I have struggled some as one of my primary motivations to eat healthy and exercise has been maintaining my weight so knowing I'm supposed to gain weight has thrown me off a bit. However, I'm still on track between the 25-35lb gain for a healthy pregnancy, just leaning toward the 35lb end. I have continued to exercise about 6 days/wk, just backing off on the intensity. I've been using Moms Into Fitness Pregnancy 3 Pack that gives you a different set of workouts for each trimester. I like it a lot but sometimes feel it isn't enough of a workout so I supplement with TurboFire (EZ cardio classes, Sculpt 30, Tone 30, Core 20) and Yoga X (from P90X). I'm constantly working toward eating a more nutritious, whole foods diet--it's always a work in progress. I love connecting with other motivated people and would love to meet some of you other expecting ladies--feel free to add me!

    Yep, its pretty quiet here. I am now in my 27th week, Due January 19. Just started my third trimester and the fatigue is kicking in. I try to log my food and stay within my calorie goals, but between the (Jewish) holidays and family weddings, sister's engagement party etc. I sometimes eat more than i should. As of today I have gained about 20 lbs, which is more than i would have liked to gain. I am hoping to somehow stay within the 25 lb gain goal. But, I remind myself that even if i end up gaining 32 lbs like I did with my other 2 pregnancies, i will still be 30 lbs lighter at delivery. I have continued to workout my whole pregnancy so far. I have a set of DVDs called Body by Trimester by Joy southworth. Its has two 30 min circuit training workouts per trimester plus a 15 min express workout. I do one of the 30 min workouts about 4-5 days a week and I also walk a lot with my kids in a double stroller. I still look fit despite my growing belly. I am very lucky to have a fairly easy pregnancy so far. Other than occasional pelvic pain, and heartburn, i feel great! I just ordered a hypnobirthing book and CD which i want to use to prepare for the birth. Wishing you all a happy and healthy pregnancy!

    Sounds like you've been busy. I got a few hypnotherapy tracks too. And yes the fatigue is difficult. I've developed anemia, hypertension (seems to have gone down with medication). Other than that baby seems to be doing fine. Kicking and moving. Does anyone know what they are having yet?

    I'm coming up 26 weeks and am feeling great - lots of energy, but I think that's because I'm sleeping better. For a couple of weeks there bubs was in a very uncomfortable position that made sleeping for more than a few hours at a time almost impossible. Let's hope she behaves for a while more!

    Yup, i am definitely busy. Between being in college 4 days a week and taking care of my 2 little kids, I dont know what I am having since i dont believe in taking ultrasounds unless medically necessary. So its gonna be a surprise. I have a daughter and a son so far.

    I just found this group at 30.5 weeks pregnant! I'm due January 1st, and we decided not to find out what we are having. I'm up almost 20 lbs so far, and just started doing Tracy Anderson's Pregnancy Project DVDs. I really need to get back to clean eating, but I have a nasty cold/chest congestion and haven't been doing too well with my eating the last week or so.

    Welcome, better late than never! It's tough enough being pregnant without being ill as well - all you can do is your best. Feel better soon!
