Hello everyone, I'm Jules. This is pregnancy no.4 but will be my 3rd baby. I'm officially due 2.6.14 but will be induced at least a week early as I am over 40 so I will have a May baby.

#3 for me. I had a June 2011 baby and a Jan 2013 baby. So we'll have 3 under 3. We were trying and I was excited and that has seemed to fade with my daughter increasing her wake ups from 1-2 times a night to 4-5 times a night, though she is finally getting better. I need to get more excited. I feel bad that I'm not happier. Just the tiredness has taken its toll. My husband is excited and I am bringing us down. Why can't I get happier about this??? This is our last pregnancy.

Anyone else going through these emotions? Any advice? I'm on Reglan to help with my milk supply (I am still breastfeeding and my supply dropped a few days before I found out I was pregnant). I have no sex drive and I'm wondering if I'm depressed. I don't know. I want to be happier. I am getting out of the house with baby groups, I am taking them on walks. There's no excuse.

Oh yeah, due May 18th (I think it's a couple days later than it should be but I never got a period, so based solely on ultrasound). My 30th birthday is May 31st and I am determined to be home by then. I have late babies though. My son was 13 days late WITH an induction that took 2 days. My daughter I went naturally 6 days late. Please send me pre due date vibes. I don't want to see my due date come and go with this one!

Sounds like you have a lot of demands going on right now. Emotions are really tricky and I don't have any sound advice. When things were tough with my 2 under 2, I would just remember "this too shall pass". And it did. And it will again. As things regulated a little for me, I found ways to work with my emotions by finding some time for me (usually going for a run with the kiddos in the stroller and music in my ears). Good luck!

Good luck with the birthday deadline! I was hoping to be out celebrating my 30th birthday with a fun adventure and little 'adult' time but....well...pregnancy takes the fun out of some of the things I will want to do since my 30th will be in February. Just means I will be celebrating 31 in true style. Make it special in anyway you can. Birthdays are special no matter what and your little family (which is becoming even bigger!) are wonderful gifts.

Hey Ladies-

My due date was recently adjusted from April 30th to May 1st (as if this babe is coming either of those days! Hah!) so I figured I'd join this group too- more support for me!

I'm currently 16.5 weeks pregnant with our first and we're planning an out of hospital birth. I went from being able to run a mile to taking a break when I get to the top of the stairs! I didn't think I'd feel this "pregnant" for a few more months... I'm not good at slowing down so it's really tough for me to have limitations.. my husband's been really great about it though.

I lost 35 lbs before I got pregnant and I'm hoping to have keep my gains responsible and reasonable. Currently I'm at about +7.5 lbs which I am comfortable with.

Happy Pregnancies Ladies!!

Hey everyone! So excited to join you all in your journey! I'm due with number 2 in May.

As far as sickness, I found a magical cure for mine: PROTEIN, PROTEIN, PROTEIN. Especially when I was craving carbs, I needed to avoid carbs and eat protein. I believe that eating extra protein and exercising was what cured my morning sickness this time around.
(Last time, morning sickness was yuck and lasted longer)

Hi ladies

I am 31 years old, and due with number 3 around May 14th. My daughter is 6 and my son is 5. This pregnancy was pre-meditated lol. I am SO glad to be done with the 1st tri, though I wasn't nearly as sick as I was with my first two. I'm just glad to have my energy back. My husband and I are not finding out the gender of this baby--we want to be surprised!

For a moment, I thought to myself, "I am really getting too old for this *kitten*." I had forgotten what it was like to be pregnant. The nausea, sensitivity to smells, and fatigue totally threw me for a loop this time. I am thankful that I got furloughed from my job for 3 weeks when my symptoms reached their peak, which gave me plenty of time to rest! Silver linings!

At the moment, I am eating whatever I want and drinking lots of water. I have not done a formal workout in about a month. I miss lifting and running. I have been scared to run since my belly has gotten bigger. Maybe I just need supportive activewear.

Hi! & congratulations!!! I'm in the same boat...I used to run and lift but now I do a modified version of both. You should be okay with running but if you feel that the belly is making it hard on your knees and hips do a run/walk or speed walk. As for lifting, I no longer use the bar so I just use on of the 25 lb plates and squat with that.

There's a May 2014 group if you want to join. It's called "May 2014 Mums" :flowerforyou:

Don't know why I didn't look for a group earlier than now!!! Feel free to add me. Due May 16th with my first little one .:)

Hello Everyone!!! It is so wonderful to find a group going thru similar experiences!

I am pregnant with our third (quite the surprise but that is a story for another day!) and due May 2nd. I have been focusing on my eating but not tracking as much as I should so I have been adding some foods back to my diary to see where I stand as far as accountability.


I have a desk job and I was doing crossfit so I scaled that back a bit (and eventually stopped all together) mainly because I have just been so tired all the time! Now I make an effort to walk every day and do a prenatal pilates video as often as possible. What kind of exercising are you doing while pregnant?

Hello all you beautiful mama's I'm due May 12 with our second child, I have an 18 month old daughter, and expecting our little boy:) I gained 80+ pounds with my daughter due to eating the world lol....I lost all but 10 pounds before we decided to try for number 2. Add me If you'd like, we can keep each other motivated for a healthy pregnancy:)
