Hello all, my EDD is 24/01/2013
I'm 34 and this is our first. Very very excited.
I have only told my Mum and Dad so far, if I can hide it until my 20 week scan then we'll tell everyone after then, but I guess it will all be down to how long my tummy doesn't look obviously pregnant.
Does anyone know when you tend to start to show ? I've got a bit of a tummy on me anyway so I'm hoping that will hide it, or will it make it look bigger and more obvious earlier ?!?!
So excited, congratulations to all 0 -
Are there any mothers out there that had c-sections and then had successful vbacs in subsequent births? I'm really hoping to have a vbac with this second child, but some people I've spoken with said not to get my hopes up because they don't happen all too often. I hope this isn't the case! Anyone....?
Well, I haven't had a vbac, but I'm hoping for one this time around. From what I've read, if your doctor let's you do a trial of labor success rates are often as high as 75%. But whether or not they let you do a trial depends a lot on your situation.0 -

Hey ladies!! I am new to the group, but to MFP. I found out I was prego in June, due Jan 22. The first trimester was carb and sugar central, with no exercise! Trying to get back into the healthy way of thinking and eating. Excited to have found this group! 0

Hello Ladies! I am 16w today with our first baby and excited to see what you other girls are up to as we go along! My EDD is January 15th Cannot WAIT to find out the gender in a few weeks!!!
The first trimester and up until basically now I have has a lot of MS and have just been eating whatever I can hold down - a lot of carbs and salty food. Even water has been making me gag for weeks and I usually drink a ton! It has been slowly decreasing so I am looking forward to getting back to exercise and eating better, the way I used to! But - It's all worth it for the baby on the way!
I don't have one yet, but we should get some baby bump photo's going with how many weeks along we are!0 -
hi everyone, Just joined the group. I am a mom of a 2 1/2 yr old girl and a 16 month old boy and I am due with baby number 3 on January 19! I just became an RN and am looking for a job (but it might have to wait till after the baby is born) I used MFP to lose my baby weight after my 2nd child and I got to a smaller size then I have ever been (size 2 and I am 5''2) I started off my pregnancy at 125 lbs and hope not to gain more than 25 lbs. I am only in my 15th week and I am already showing. I guess when ur thin every extra lb. shows. I was doing the 30 day shred for a few months pre pregnancy so i wanted something similar to do while pregnant. I found this awesome set of DVDs called ''Body by Trimester" by Joy Southworth. I get a great intense workout in 30 minutes. Thats basically it for now. Wishing you all a happy and healthy pregnancy.0

Does anyone want to join me in an exercise/water goal from week to week? We can post on Friday or Saturday how we did.
Write your goals for the week on Sunday and then check in on the weekend so we can encourage each other and hold each other accountable (well, sort of). At least if we have to post it, we might be more mindful about it.
My goal for this week (my 16th week of pregnancy)
Work out:
M-Th Crossfit
Friday: rest day
Saturday: light work out like biking or walking
Water: 8 oz of water each day minimum.

I would be interested - I am 18w1d pregnant with my 1st child and was unable to exercise from week 6-14 due to a hemmorhage found in an early ultrasound. I have the all clear to get back into working out again but have not done so more than twice a week since then!0

How are all the January Mums to be doing weight wise ? I was on the top end of 'normal bmi' when I became pregnant so hubby hasn't been able to feel little one kick yet, I suppose baby has more fat to be felt through. He thinks he felt a faint kick last night which was super exciting 0

I can feel the baby kicking but once again hubs is missing out as the placenta is at the front, bummer, that's two for two.
As for weight, I'm slow starting to gain thanks largely to winter bugs (started at healthy weight, BMI 22) but am now getting heavier - bubs is nice and big though.0 -

I am due January 16th with my first. I have struggled some as one of my primary motivations to eat healthy and exercise has been maintaining my weight so knowing I'm supposed to gain weight has thrown me off a bit. However, I'm still on track between the 25-35lb gain for a healthy pregnancy, just leaning toward the 35lb end. I have continued to exercise about 6 days/wk, just backing off on the intensity. I've been using Moms Into Fitness Pregnancy 3 Pack that gives you a different set of workouts for each trimester. I like it a lot but sometimes feel it isn't enough of a workout so I supplement with TurboFire (EZ cardio classes, Sculpt 30, Tone 30, Core 20) and Yoga X (from P90X). I'm constantly working toward eating a more nutritious, whole foods diet--it's always a work in progress. I love connecting with other motivated people and would love to meet some of you other expecting ladies--feel free to add me!0

been awhile since we January Mamas have checked in...how is everyone doing?0

Yep, its pretty quiet here. I am now in my 27th week, Due January 19. Just started my third trimester and the fatigue is kicking in. I try to log my food and stay within my calorie goals, but between the (Jewish) holidays and family weddings, sister's engagement party etc. I sometimes eat more than i should. As of today I have gained about 20 lbs, which is more than i would have liked to gain. I am hoping to somehow stay within the 25 lb gain goal. But, I remind myself that even if i end up gaining 32 lbs like I did with my other 2 pregnancies, i will still be 30 lbs lighter at delivery. I have continued to workout my whole pregnancy so far. I have a set of DVDs called Body by Trimester by Joy southworth. Its has two 30 min circuit training workouts per trimester plus a 15 min express workout. I do one of the 30 min workouts about 4-5 days a week and I also walk a lot with my kids in a double stroller. I still look fit despite my growing belly. I am very lucky to have a fairly easy pregnancy so far. Other than occasional pelvic pain, and heartburn, i feel great! I just ordered a hypnobirthing book and CD which i want to use to prepare for the birth. Wishing you all a happy and healthy pregnancy!0 -

Sounds like you've been busy. I got a few hypnotherapy tracks too. And yes the fatigue is difficult. I've developed anemia, hypertension (seems to have gone down with medication). Other than that baby seems to be doing fine. Kicking and moving. Does anyone know what they are having yet?0 -
I'm coming up 26 weeks and am feeling great - lots of energy, but I think that's because I'm sleeping better. For a couple of weeks there bubs was in a very uncomfortable position that made sleeping for more than a few hours at a time almost impossible. Let's hope she behaves for a while more!0

Yup, i am definitely busy. Between being in college 4 days a week and taking care of my 2 little kids, I dont know what I am having since i dont believe in taking ultrasounds unless medically necessary. So its gonna be a surprise. I have a daughter and a son so far.0 -
I just found this group at 30.5 weeks pregnant! I'm due January 1st, and we decided not to find out what we are having. I'm up almost 20 lbs so far, and just started doing Tracy Anderson's Pregnancy Project DVDs. I really need to get back to clean eating, but I have a nasty cold/chest congestion and haven't been doing too well with my eating the last week or so.0
