Hello! My name is Heather and I am due 10/6 with baby #2. My daughter was born 1/31/09 and we were told we could not conceive without IVF after failing several rounds of fertility treatment trying for baby #2 - 3 years later I tested after a dream I was pregnant and lo and behold, I was!

I was running 20-25 miles a week before getting pregnant (and actually conceived this little one at my very first half marathon...haha!) so will be continuing to run as long as I am able

My name is Shakira and I'm currently pregnant with my Rainbow baby . I want to continue working out and continue with my healthy eating choices.

Hi! My name is Tori and I am due on October 2013. I'm 28 and this is my first pregnancy. Look forward to talking with other ladies going through the same things as me right now!

Hi ladies. I'm 28 years old and pregnant with my second baby. My daughter is 10 so it's all new to me again! This will be my husband's 4th child including my daughter who he adopted so we are probably done after this one. It was so much fun to actually get pregnant on purpose this time. Haha...now I'm just praying for a healthy baby. Everything is going great so far. I haven't been sick or anything so hope it stays easy. I do ultrasounds at an imaging center so I enjoy taking advantage of that and doing my own ultrasounds! Right now, I'm trying to figure out the sex. I'm really thinking it's a girl now that I'm 15 weeks. I hope next week I'll be able to say it with confidence. I'm due October 2nd but my baby is measuring about a week ahead. I hope to gain about 25 pounds with this pregnancy. So far I've gained 3. I look forward to chatting with you ladies.

Hi ladies!

I'm Julia, 29 and expecting my #3 on 10/1.
I am 15 weeks and had a pretty rough first trimester with bad morning sickness but thankfully doing a lot better now.
I am eating whatever doesn't make me gag and trying my best for healthy choices- lost 8 lbs in my first tri and I'm just starting to gain a little and get a little belly

I've been doing the Tracey Anderson Pregnancy Project DVDs a few times a week- really liking them! And hoping to get in some nice brisk walks if the sun ever decides to come out in my part of the world! I'm usually a runner and had been training for my first half when I found out the good news (at first I thought the running was messing with my period!) but I'm taking a hiatus and hoping to train with a jogging stroller and run my first half in the spring!

Hope you all are feeling great!

Hi Girls, I'm Karen and expecting at the end of October. I'm 35 and already have four beautiful boys ages 10, 7, 5 and 2. I gave up smoking last year and went up two dress sizes in six months. This year I was meant to be losing the weight I gained and I was 4/5 weeks in and 8lbs lighter when I discovered I was expecting #5. So this pregnancy I need minimal weight gain and to stay fit throughout.

This first few weeks I've been eating maintenance calories. I've been insanely tired, napping whenever possible! But I think this is starting to ease off. I've had occasional bouts of nausea, but mostly just horrible, uncomfortable indigestion. I gained a pound, then lost two, so 11ish weeks in and no significant weight gain as yet.

I can't wait to find out what we're having. We didn't find out with the first four and this is probably our last shot at a daughter, though I wouldn't mind another boy either. My previous four births were all natural, at a hospital, with nothing but a TENS machine and entonox and I'm hoping to take this path again.

Hi! My name is Sheila. I am 30 years old and have a son named Braydon who is 2.5. I'm currently 15 weeks along with my 2nd. I gained 50lbs with my son and didnt exercise or eat healthy at all. This time around so far I've maintained my gym routine and have been trying to eat semi-healthy. I give in to my cravings but try to drink a lot of water and eat well the majority of the time. So far I'm up 7lbs and feeling great.

Hi! I'm Jenn, 32, due with #3 October 6th!

Trying not to gain a lot this pregnancy (gained about 50 with each of my other kids). I had been running for 3 years but havent been able to in the last couple of weeks due to fatigue and just feeling terrible. Now, that I'm in the second trimester I'm feeling better but not quite up to running.

Looking for good DVDs to do in the early morning before the kiddos wake up. Any suggestions?

Welcome Lorena! Baby #3 for us too, and also the first in a while. I feel like my body doesn't remember what to do and I'm feeling stretches and twinges like crazy

BTW I just found out what Rainbow Baby means- a baby born after a loss. I kinda love that.
I guess this will be a rainbow baby for us too, then!

Hi I'm Lisa 34 year old, due with my first October 8th. Very excited and nervous all at the same time. I've been using MFP for a while and had been in a plateau. Now I am happily tracking my process as the baby grows. Trying to stay active and healthy.

Feel free to add me as a friend. I am looking for other mommies due in October to chat with and get ideas, etc...

Congrats!
