Hello, everyone! I'm pregnant with our third, and due April 19th!

Congratulations everyone!

I have my first "real" ultrasound today! i can't wait!

We already told most people, there have been some complications and my thought is that by not telling people I'm depriving myself of prayer as well as support should something go wrong. It's not facebook official yet, but that will probably come soon. I think I'm going to show pretty soon. Somehow the server at the diner near our house knew without us saying anything. Also I had surgery scheduled for yesterday so all the guys at work know now because they were asking why I didn't get surgery.

Hi! Im so excited about this page and looking foward to getting to know you all. I'm due April 7th with our third child. We have a 16-month-old and a 2.5-year-old.

I'm 42 and will be 42 still when this baby is due. I'm super, super tired. I have no energy to put on makeup or fix my hair or to do anything else. I can't wait until the 1st trimester fatigue eases up.

My appetite/ food aversions/ food cravings are out of control. I've already gained between 6 and 8.5 lbs (at 9.5 weeks). I can't remember, but u don't think I gained this much this early on with my other 2. I know I'm making bad food choices but I'm just eating what sounds appetizing at the time. It's strange, I'll think I'm so hungry, then I eat and it's not a whole lot , but then I end up being stuffed and feeling nauseated. I gained about 30 to 35 lbs during each pregnancy and lost it quickly after. With my last pregnancy and thanks to MFP, I also lost another 27 on top if that putting me right in the middle range for a normal BMI.

I went to the doctor Friday and all is good so far. He did tell me no running. I don't know why because he let me last time. I'm disappointed about that and have trouble motivating myself for "light walking". I plan to do bodypump, yoga, walking, and other classes at my gym as long as I can. I just need to get the energy to actually go do it.

I plan on eating better as soon as this queasiness eases. I normally love to cook but I can't even look at a recipe right now without it repulsing me.

Oh, I told lots if people early on. For one, I am an RN in a hospital. Generally, we look out for our pregnant coworkers when we can and try not to let them take violent patients or patients with radiation treatment or those with some kind of harmful bacteria. Also, I've got to have some kind of explanation for randomly gagging. And if this pregnancy weren't going to make it, I feel like I would want support from people and not to have to secretly go through such pain by myself. Knowing how I am, I'd probably end up talking about it and that would be doubly hard because then I'd have to explain that I had been pregnant.

I am now 7 weeks and have my first appt tomorrow afternoon. I think I have every symptom known to man now (nausea, food aversions, joints ache, exhaustion, and as of yesterday a really strong nose). I have been slacking on tracking my food because I like to preplan what I am going to eat and i end up having to redo everything and it is making too much work for me.

I am excited to go to my OB tomorrow. My husband and i decided that for this one we will be finding out if it is a boy or girl, but will be putting it in a sealed envelope and giving it to my sister to make a gender reveal cake or cupcakes. Our first was a surprise and we feel like since we've done that it would be fun to find out this one.

I am starting to gain some weight despite my food aversions and nausea. Probably because of all the carbs I have been eating to help my nausea. I am up 2 pounds this week, but only 1 pound over my prepregnancy weight.

I hope everyone else is doing okay.

Hi, everyone! I'm new to the group, but not MFP - it helped me get to my goal weight literally the week before I got the positive pregnancy test I'm due with my husband's and my first April 25. Looking forward to seeing how all you ladies are keeping in shape while dealing with the fatigue and serious food aversions of the first trimester!

Hello! Just had my first appt. today and I am due on April 14th, but will probably be the week before due to having a c-section my first time around.
Looking to see how people are keeping active and all that fun stuff. :-)

Welcome everyone!!! I've been sticking to 2,000 calories a day and haven't gained much weight yet. Off to a houseboat this weekend with a barbecue and someone is bringing 4 lbs of brownies and chocolate chip cookies. So hard to say no when you're pregnant, or it's just my excuse.

Have a great weekend everyone!!!!

Hi everyone! I just joined the group; got my positive test a week ago at 6 weeks (based on lmp) so now I'm 7 weeks along. This is pregnancy #3, baby #4. I have a 2.5 year old daughter and b/g twins who will be 1 year old tomorrow. So they'll be 20 months when this little one arrives, which is how old my first was when the twins were born. My first appt is this Monday; I'm hoping for an ultrasound to verify there's only ONE (please, oh please!) in there. I'm pretty sure it's only 1 because my symptoms aren't as bad as they were with the twins; they're about on par with my first pregnancy. Just some tiredness so far (I try for a nap when my 3 are napping) and nausea, same as my other pregnancies. I gained about 50 lbs with my oldest (!), lost it all just in time to get pregnant with the twins, gained 50 again (the appropriate amount that time!), lost it all and more and currently weigh the lowest I have in my adulthood (I'm 29). I haven't gained any weight so far; I'm eating at maintenance, which is 2150. I'll increase by 300/day later in the pregnancy. Anyway, that's me! We haven't announced to anyone yet, so while I'm happy to add you as a friend, I'd appreciate no baby mentioning on my wall since I have RL friends in my list. :-)

*edited to add: my profile pic is from yesterday; a pic of me at 36 weeks with the twins compared to now

Oh, I want to join in! I'm Caroline! I have a 3.5 year old son and am due April 9th. I'm 32 years old. I have my 2nd prenatal appt tomorrow. I bought a Doppler a few weeks ago so I listen to baby regularly and it seems ok to me. I gained about 40 pounds with my son and remained overweight yet very active. I workout hard and used to run a lot but have terrible eating habits. We have been trying to bring home baby #2 since my son was 1 year old but have lost a few babies along the way. The TTC & pregnancies have had a terrible affect on my weight. I said screw TTC and being fat after my last MC and lost 8 pounds in 8 weeks then got my BFP. I upped my cals but was still eating healthy and losing weight. I'm finally very slowly gaining a tiny bit here and there. I'm overweight still and my goal is to just gain 20 pounds. Since about week 8 though my eating habits have gone down the toilet. I ate 2 whole snickers bars after lunch today!! Oh boy. I guess that's dinner.

I totally understand, EmilyRanae22! I had some spotting at 8 weeks, and then a bleed followed by a day of spotting at 11 weeks (now at 13 weeks) and everything is totally fine - baby heartbeat grand, and growing on schedule ( had a scan yesterday). Bleeding is terrifying - but my gynae said v. common and not always explicable. It does make exercise scary though - I've just been doing some daily stretches and walking and that seems to be working out okay. I'm waiting for it to warm up ( I'm in asfrica so coming into spring) so that I can start swimming. I've only gained 2 pounds so far which is a little bit scary too, but I've had constant nausea and food aversions which are just beginning to lessen so that's why. Amazing how veggies become so unappealing and glad I'm not the only one who's mad about carbs all the time. Hopefully soon will put on a bit of weight - now that's a thing I'm not used to saying!
