Due November 8th and gained to much weight already and tips for me ladies !!

Hi Ladies!! I found out on March 18th that I'm expecting my 4th child. I have 3 boys now, so hoping for a girl. I had an appt w/ the Nurse Midwife today to get all the history and labs, etc. and then I go see my Midwife tomorrow for my first real appt. They are going to do an U/S because I have irregular periods, so going by my LMP, my due date would be 11/18 but since I charted ovulation, it would put me due on 11/28 - TURKEY DAY!! They want to find out which one is correct.

Sorry to all of you who lost your rainbows. My thoughts are with you.....

Congratulations to you all.... Am due on November 19th... Hubby and I are hoping for a Boy!! as we both have 2 girls each... .... am planning to keep on eating healthy and WALKING more than ever as I know it will help me lots during labor.... but for now I will go back to my yucky gagging and lotz and lotz of :yawn:

Turned out that I might not have ovulated late at all like we thought I might have. I had an ultrasound today due to the return of the spotting that I had last month, and all that was there was still the small empty sac. No yolk sac, no baby, nothing. Just a blighted ovum. Oh and I found out I also have PCOS. My ovaries are full of tiny cysts, the left is far worse than the right though, so I still might have a decent shot at conceiving again. Interesting that I was able to conceive at all with hypothyroidism and PCOS, and without even trying.

I'm going for a D&C tomorrow.

Best of luck to you ladies. Wishing you happy and healthy pregnancies.

Hope to start trying again soon.

So so sorry to hear this. We'll be thinking and praying for you. Take care of yourself - and best of luck to you!

How did everyone's first appointment's go??

Mine went well. Saw the heartbeat flickering away at a strong 176!! Have an appointment in a couple weeks for the blood work, pap, all that fun testing stuff!

Hope things are going well for all.

Who is finding out the sex/who's not?? )

Good Morning November Mommies!! Here's where I am...So I've been starting to feel guilty for eating SOOO much crap, being that I am coming off a 100lb weight loss. I haven't worked out since I concieved really. Granted I have been exhausted and nauseous...I have still eaten like a maniac. I ready to eat clean again. I don't want to slip into old habits...and I find myself doing that. I'm still going to keep my calories the same which for me, is around 2200 (dieting prepregnancy: 1500-1800) which has thankfuly helped me maintain my weight within a 5 lb range. This is not to make anyone feel guilty, but more of a "come to Jesus" talk for myself. I know a lot of us are feeling better...so why not?! I'm going to try and get 15+ minutes a day of dedicated exercise...be it walking, or a date with my secret boyfriend Richard Simmons. I encourage any of you to do the same, if you are at the same point I am.

12 week (11w6d) appointment today! Hoping to hear my little bean!!

Morning all! Mind if I join in? I am due with my 2nd on Nov 21st --- however, we'll be doing a scheduled c-section, so not sure when that will come into play. This one was a surprise to us. With our first, we tried for 3 years, multiple IUI's & IVF attempts......so we didn't think it could actually happen on it's own, just by having sex!?!? Who knew!? hehe. My son is almost 14 months old & I'm still hanging on to the last 10lbs I gained from him + the 10-15lbs I gained while doing all of the fertility treatments.

This time around, I'm really hoping not to gain as much. I gained 40lbs my first pregnancy. However, it's been hard with being nauseous all of the time. I'm sure it'll go away soon, as it did with the first around 12ish weeks I think. Which is what I'll be at tomorrow

Welcome to you both! This isn't really a very active board... I try to check back often, but fail most days. haha... but, welcome nonetheless!

Hey all, due November 22!


I became a runner over the last couple of years, but the fatigue of the first trimester has derailed any hope of a regular running regimen. At bare minimum, I get my long run in on Saturdays.

I'm still going to run the last two races I signed up for pre-pregnancy (the Soldier Field 10 Miler and the Chicago Women's Half), but then I think I'm going to call it a day on the distance running, at least for the rest of the pregnancy.
