Pregnancy 2010 - Week 12
Replies
-
I am 15 weeks 3 days and have already gained 11lbs! I am not at all impressed but I know a lot of it is due to me being lazy. I refuse to gain too much during this preg as I gained 60lbs with my son in 2006. I finally lost 30lbs of that and got pregnant again. My doc says I can lose weight but no more than 15lbs through out my pregnancy. Definitely looking for motivation on this one.0

Congrats kiffypooh on your pregnancy.
I havent' checked in in a while. I am not sure what my weight gain is. I go to the doctor Thursday. I am 9 weeks along with twins so I already show. I am hoping not too much. I am trying to eat healthy but I am hoping I don't get the "you are eating too much" speech from my doctor. My goal is to have two healthy babies 6 lbs and up born full term 38 weeks. I know that healthy eating and exercise will help me achieve that goal.
Good luck to all the TTC folks. Pregnancy is not easy but I wouldn't trade this misery for anything.0 -
I have an idea of when my last period was, but I am not totally sure, so that's why I say I think I am about 7 weeks along. My period was very irregular, occurring anywhere from 30-47 days, and I wasn't paying too much attention to it. I am hoping I am about 7 weeks. That would be great. When did you all tell your families and friends? My husband wanted to tell them right away, but I am a little nervous. I sort of want to wait until I go see the doctor or something. A friend of mine just had an ectopic pregnancy that burst last week, so I am very worried that something like that could happen to me too. I am probably being unnecessarily paranoid, but I just want to make sure everything is okay before I tell everyone. Part of it still doesn't seem real to me, but all of the symptoms I am experiencing are making it more real!
congrats! I told my family right away, but I've known lots of people who have waited until they were out of their first trimester or at least after the first ultrasound0 -
So ... Sunday I have a huge burst of blood and a lot of cramping. Very scary, very emotional, very intimidating. We spent majority of yesterday at the hospital and the ultrasound looked good. Baby and uterus look good, heart beat is strong and baby looks normal. The doc found what looked like a polyp at the opening of the cervix which is very likely to have caused the bleeding. *sigh, I still don't feel out of the clear as I've heard stories of women who have bled, the ultrasound looks good, and then a couple of days later they miscarry. :-( I'm out of the first trimester officially, but that doesn't put me completely out of risk and I just feel emotional and scared.
The only exciting thing about all of this is that they were able to see from the ultrasound that it's a little boy! That's what we were hoping for so we are very excited. It's still a little early, so we'll know for sure in 4 weeks at our next ultrasound.
Just wanted to keep everyone updated and please keep us in your prayers if applicable. Thanks
P.S.S. still losing weight :-(0 -
Angela - That's so scary! You poor thing! I hope things look better for you in the future - I'll routing for a healthy baby for you!
Zekesmom - I'm 18 weeks and up 10 lbs....and I've been super active still....so I guess it happens to anyone! Stay healthy and motivated. The way I look at it is...do I really want that cupcake now....knowing I will have to work it off later. LOL It's easier not to eat it, I think! I've been craving cupcakes and rice krispie treats lately too!0 -
My big craving so far has been oreo cookies, even though I normally don't like them. other than that I eat very healthy and have for years now. I think most of it is due to lack of motivation and being tired all the time. I am hoping in the next few weeks I will get my energy back and be more active. I did just come back from a 5KM walk with my son. We brought his bubbles and he wore his rain boots and we splashed and bubbles all the way there and back. I am hoping I can get out for a walk after supper as well. Maybe not as far but still something.0

Shopping Queen – 10 lbs is great! :flowerforyou: I’m trying really hard to maintain right now, but I’m starving all the time. I don’t remember this with my daughter. Post pictures from the ultra sound, that’s so exciting!!! I just moved our first appointment up to Monday from the 15th. I’m happy they did it, I’m still a little freaked out about the idea of a miscarriage
Erinm – You will be having a Nov baby too then. I’m 6 weeks and my due date is Nov 22nd, according to all the web sites. I’ve told only close friends and family. I think before I tell anyone, “would I want to talk to this person about having a miscarriage if I have another one?” and determine from there rather or not I tell them. About 4 of my friends know, my mom and sister. However, my brother and SIL don’t know and we haven’t told my MIL yet. I’m glad I had only told my mom and BFF with our last pregnancy, I wouldn’t want to have to talk to a bunch of people about it.
Zekesmom – Welcome aboard.
Kerilorene – Thank you! We are very excited. How soon can they tell if you are having twins or not? A woman at my daughters preschool jus t had twins and she has a 3 year old. I’m amazed at how alert she seems :laugh: Do you have other kids?
Angela – Let us know what happens. That is so scary! I’ll be thinking about you.
I’m going back to the gym tomorrow. I’ve been reading (never a good idea) a lot about not getting your heart rate up too high, anyone else heard about this? I can’t wait for my appointment so my dr can make me feel ok about moving and being normal. What do you ladies do about being constantly hungry? I’m eating almonds, cheese, yogurt, fruit, etc but if I’m hungry I have to eat (right?) but there’s nothing that is filling that won’t cause me to put on weight. I’m not stressed about putting on weight or anything, but I’m trying to keep myself in check.
Anyhow, I’m off to veg. Take care everyone!!!0 -
Jen – Have you lost a lot since your last pregnancy? How far along were you when you were diagnosed with it? Did you get the joys of magnesium and all that good stuff? I feel so lucky that I was full term when my time came. I ended up with a c-section, did you?
Erinm – Have you gone onto babycenter or anything to find out your due date? You go by the first day of your last period to find out how far along you are.
Shopping Queen – I didn’t know it had to do with the amount that you ate, I thought it was if the food happened to be contaminated with it. All the frozen yogurt places we go to are near Starbucks and I’d rather have a decaf mocha anyways :O) When is your due date?
Cowgirl – You have a “stay on track” buddy with me. I really don’t want to gain a butt load of weight and more important I want to be healthy this time around. I’ve been unemployed since may, but the toddler/fatigue thing is getting me. When are you due? How old are your two toddlers?
Vinbelle – I hope your appointment goes well. Some mid cycle bleeding can be a sign of ovulation, but my guess it is more then that.
I’m really excited to be a part of this group.
Sorry, I just saw your post. I have lost all but 10. I'm 5'6 and was 131 the day I found out I was preggo. Today I'm 141 and Kayden will be 2 on the 16th. Can't get past this last 10 for the life of me!!! I'm kinda at the point where I'm a healthy weight, maybe God wants me at this size! I was diagnosed with pre e at 37 weeks I think? Maybe it was 36? Anyway, my Dr. sent me in right away to have him. My labor went really fast (9 hours total and only pushed 3 times) and I was lucky that I didn't have to have magnesium or a c section.0
