Hi everyone!

I'm just shy of 20 weeks pregnant with our third (a boy) and due at the end of May. I was achieving some wonderful progress until the end of July/beginning of August I discovered I was pregnant, only to lose the baby a week later. I kind of just sat around in shock for awhile.We continued TTC our last baby and I found out I was expecting again the second week of September. Shortly thereafter, I was diagnosed I was diagnosed with a subchorionic hemorrhage, leaving me on bedrest with limited physical activity until a couple weeks ago.

I got the all-clear to get off bedrest and resume normal activities. I was also allowed to continue on with my fitness goals. I can lose 10 pounds and be just fine, my OB says. I'm choosing to get back on board to make the rest of this pregnancy as worry-free as possible.

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

    You look so sad in your picture though your message seems upbeat?! You look kind of like my cousin so I know you have to have a pretty smile =) I'm pregnant with my first 33 weeks...weight gain sucks on my mind, but I know it's not much longer. It's good you aren't on bed rest anymore and have the clear to workout...that will make you feel better. I cramp really bad so my only exercise now is slow walking. Feel free to add me if you like =)

    Hi! I'm due mid-April with my first (a boy too!). My dr doesn't want me losing any weight, but doesn't want me gaining more than 2-3 pounds a month for the rest of the pregnancy since I've been gaining too much so far (I wasn't tracking food or watching what I was eating). Pretty much all I do for exercise now is walking, but it's better than nothing :)

    Hello!

    I'm sorry to hear that things started off so rough for you but am glad that you're off of bedrest and 20 weeks along with a little boy! I'll be 30 weeks tomorrow with my first (a girl) and watching what goes into my mouth like a hawk due to a recent diagnosis with gestational diabetes. Feel free to add me, always helps to have other mamas around for encouragement!

    Steph
