Hey! I'm Bree, I'm 24 years old, living in Atlanta, GA. This is baby number 2 for my husband and I. We have a 5 1/2 year old daughter who is ecstatic to know she is going to be a big sister! We have been trying to have another for a while now and I was happy and terrified at the same time when we found out we were pregnant again with this little one. This is going to work out this time and I can stop holding my breath and worrying so much. I'm super excited and can wait for my next appointment.
So far its been an easy pregnancy, slight nausea (thank goodness) and the fatigue has worn off at this stage. I gained 45 lbs with my daughter, I NEED TO KEEP THE WEIGHT GAIN AT A MINIUM this time. So far I've gained 7 lbs and since I also started off overweight I'm back to logging to stay on track. I love the site! Its helped me lose 50lbs before, Its a great tool!

Hi!

I am 23 yrs, 5'3 and this is my First baby
Pre Preg weight: 168
16 weeks: 180

I feel like I am so flabby and cheeky. My back has been killing me these first couple months so I have been in no mood to work out! (and I have an elliptical at home) I have been making poor food choices I guess. A lot of eating out is probably not helping. I don't even look pregnant yet i just look fat I'm only supposed to gain 15-20 pounds for the pregnancy. Can anyone recommend a certain diet I can do, tips, or just a buddy that is on the same page as me is appreciated

Hello everyone! I am due with our first on August 18th. Before I found out I was pregnant I lost about 28lbs. I'm trying not to gain more than that back, but I'm having a hard time keeping my weight steady. Mostly because I'm inconsistently logging and eating foods I know aren't doing anything good for me or the baby (ie Taco Bell!) trying to get back on track though!
Hoping to find out what I'm having in about five more weeks. So excited! Add me if you would like

Hello, My name is Sarah this is my 3rd. I'm due august 11th. I feel like i've put on a lot in the last few months. other than i did go on a ice cream splurge for a few days i have been eating really well. I need to motivate myself to exercise more. I used to workout quite often but when the 1st trimester hit i just would sleep. I currently exercise 3x a week but would like to do more. I'm really looking forward to the warmer weather to come. I'm a outside girl

Hello everyone !!!! I'm due Aug. 28th with my third child. I have two girls right now one is 9 years old the other is 17months old. I told my husband that this will be the last one for me I believe three kids is plenty. I know he wants more but he doesn't carry them lol. My first pregnancy was wonderful I loved it. But my second I was way over weight with, and I developed GD, plus never got rid of the nausea and had round ligament issues along with back problems and when she was born she was 10lbs 2oz. A BIG GIRL lol. This time around things have been ok, I'm still very much over weight and had lost 50 lbs last year but I ended up putting it back on. I was on a weight lose regiment that really did not teach me how to maintain the weight loss and slowly but surly I woke up one day and my clothes didn't fit anymore and I was a wreck again. Then shortly after that I found out we were pregnant again. SO this time I'm back in the game and going to teach myself how to eat correctly so I do not gain the weight back. Plus I figure the slower I lose the weight, the better. I lost the 50lbs in three months before, not sure that was the best way. But this time I will make a life style change I can actually live with instead of depriving myself of the foods I love, I will incorporate them into my daily plans so that I can really lose weight and keep it off for good.

Hello there! I'm Melissa, just turned 33 and pregnant with our second. My little girl is 2 1/2 and tons of fun. I've been over the 200 mark for 5 years and I've tried things and gave up. I found out I have PCOS in 2010 and had a hard time getting pregnant. I was healthy with my last pregnancy and had a 6 lb healthy baby girl and only gained 15 lbs during that pregnancy. I weigh about the same this time and so far it's been a rough pregnancy. Nausea, heartburn, sciatic pain and migraines. I just recently started a meal plan suggested by a friend and I've lost 5 of the 10 lbs I've gained so far. I know its going to be hard to lose or maintain, but I'm still getting at least 2000 calories a day (the healthy way!). I go in for my GD test in 3 weeks and I'm hoping I dont get a positive this time. I could really use some encouragement because my other 5 friends that are pregnant right now are all smaller women and I feel like I stick out. I'm trying to stay positive. I haven't been able to work out or even go walking because of the sciatic pain : ( so I'm seeing a chiropractor for help and hope to be able to start walking soon. It's nice to meet you all : )

Hi, I'm Katie and I'm 26 years old! I'm 27w/2d and I am due August 18th, expecting our first baby, a sweet girl! I've been trying really hard to stay active - exercising roughly 5, maybe 6 days a week and trying to eat healthy. My last appointment was at 24 weeks and I had gained around 11 pounds overall (starting weight: 113lbs, 24w: 123.6lbs). I have my next appointment a week from tomorrow. So far, it's been a really good pregnancy. Here lately I've been experiencing major hip/groin/pelvic pain and pressure when I run, so I had to cut back to the elliptical, group cycle class, and easy weight training. So excited to meet our girl this August!
