Just found out today that I'm expecting my third! It has taken forever to get a + test and I'm 5 days late. Due Nov 5. Looking forward to having a healthy, active pregnancy.

I'm no doctor, but I don't know that you'd find anyone to recommend pregnancy as a time to lose weight. That said, I think it's realistic that you don't gain a whole lot, especially if you are considerable overweight, as long as you're eating a healthy diet. I think most of us have set our calorie goal to maintenance at this point
Congratulations on number 6

Don't know how to quote? ^^^^^^

My doctor has given me the all clear to continue losing weight. I don't intend on losing a great amount, but would like to be smaller at delivery then I am now.

I'm due November 8th yay!

Hello all! I have just found out I am 6 weeks pregnant & had my 1st child 3 months ago lol. I am loving myfitnesspal! And somehow gotta figure out how to use to and not gain the 70 pounds I did with my daugter.... I had 18 more pounds to go to be back at pre pregnancy weight, so this is going to be interesting. Glad I found this group on here! Due date Nov 8th :-)

So happy for all of you!!! I got my BFP March 9th. Due November 17th. Super excited but nervous!!!! We are keeping it quiet for now. I had a mc November 2011 so we are being cautious. We have our first obgyn appt April 2. I am so happy I found this group. Looking forward to getting to know you all and sharing stories!!!

Due Nov. 13th. Super excited. 1st for hubby and I.

I took a 2 tests on Thursday and got a +...according to date calculators online I'm due Nov 21.

Im due Nov 21st too!!! I just found out on Monday at a routine gyn appt lol. Didn't even realize I was late and it took 3 years to get pregnant with my daughter so this was definitely a shock lol!!
Congrats ladies!!!

I got a + on March 10th with an EDD of November 20th!! We are shocked, but excited. This is #3 for us My first appt isn't until April 30th and I will be almost 11 weeks then. Congrats everyone!! I had wanted to lose more weight before I got pregnant again, but hubby had a lapse of judgement and I took advantage of it...I didn't know when the chance would come again! I only gained 25-30 pounds with my other pregnancies, but I'm still planning on watching things a lot closer this time around with eating and staying active.

Congratulations! It looks like we have the same EDD!! I got my first positive on March 12th! I am hoping that I can keep away from the 'eating for two' food trap and not overindulge in an unhealthy way through this pregnancy. Super excited!!

Is Anyone else having trouble eating fruit & veg? all i want is Bread/Cereal and other starchy foods AND the last thing i want to do is exercise, i just seem to sleep sleep sleep!

I'm sort of afraid this pregnancy might not be "real", and is going to result in an early miscarriage or if not require a D&C.

Based off my LMP I should be about 7 weeks along, estimated due date, 11/12/13. I have been spotting very lightly (and light brown) on and off since Saturday. I called my doctor yesterday and he wanted me to have an ultrasound today instead of the one I had scheduled on Friday.

Instead of being 7 weeks 2 days the ultrasound showed and empty sac at a gestational age of 4 weeks 6 days. The doctor said he thinks it may not be a viable pregnancy and I'm either going to miscarry soon or will need a D&C if I don't.

I had to have blood drawn to check the hCG today and I have to get another hCG blood test on Saturday. Then i have to get another ultrasound 1-2 weeks later.

The doctor thought that if I really am 4 weeks 6 days then I wouldn't have been able to get a BFP on 3/14/13. It would have been way too soon after conception to have a positive result. I did take another test last night just to see, and the line that was very faint on the one I took on 3/14/13 was very dark last night....so who knows

Still have my fingers crossed...

I still have hope. I almost threw up this morning and I haven't had any morning sickness yet. But the light brown spotting is back.

It could be that I really was only 4 weeks 6 days along yesterday (5 weeks today). When I went to see the doctor last week they had estimated based on my LMP that I was 6 weeks. When the doctor examined me he said my uterus was hardly enlarged at all, and that meant I might be barely 4 weeks along, and he asked if my cycles ran long. The exam was 6 days before the ultrasound....making 4 weeks 6 days actually make sense.

My cycles have been sort of regular (29-30 days) since coming off the pill (which is odd for me) but since I stepped up my workouts and started losing weight they became irregular. My last period was a week late. It's typical for me to have an average cycle of about 35 days, but it can vary from 32-45+ days.

I might have ovulated much later, conceived in late Feb or first few days of March, implanted on or around March 10th and had a faint positive by the March 14th.

If I really am only barely 5 weeks then all they probably would have seen on the ultrasound was a little empty sac.

I'm hoping my dates are just wrong.

If this is the case I'm due 11/28/13...right on Thanksgiving.

Hello ladies! I'm due either October 28 (according to my last period) or Nov 5 (according to the babies measurement at my ultrasound last Thursday. So far feeling pretty good, a little bit of nausea and headaches, but not too bad. Also I have been so extremely hungry all the time! Some of my work pants that are a little higher wasted are already a little tight! But, I have been keeping up my workouts and trying to eat as healthy as possible, while giving into the cravings a little bit.

Hope all will be ok at your appt. Will be praying for you and Pineygirl!
