I'm 7 weeks due march 29, 2015- a first time mom. And trying desperately to get healthy before my baby is born. NOT lose weight, just eat better and exercise.

Just found out we are expecting baby number 3 due April . Haven't told anyone in real life yet, but will probably start telling next week as I suffer from really bad "all day sickness". I've got 2 boys at home, BigBro who is 3 and LittleMan who is 1 - both were May babies so my husband is excited to have an April Baby this time.

I'm already getting weird cravings - green olives & homemade pickles! All the time - started even before I got the BFP. Also thinking maybe this one will be a girl - if so we already have her name picked out!

We're expecting Baby #4 April 1st, we have a 9, 6 and 2 year old. I had been doing really well with my activity, but lately I've been so exhausted that I've been getting little to no exercise. I can wait till this first trimester is over!

I'm due around April 20 with my first. Kind of came as a surprise to us! So far the past month has been tough dealing with the nausea and fatigue (among other things). The only things I seem to have an appetite for are frozen yogurt, gf waffles, gf pizza, and Jamba Juice smoothies (I can't even think of making my own without my stomach turning). Do you have any tips for what to eat during the first trimester that is somewhat appetizing and healthy?

Hi, I never had any spotting but a few of my friends did, so try not to worry. Defo get checked out if it doesnt stop.

Have any of you had a spotting scare? I don't remember ever spotting with my first 2 pregnancies. And my husband is out of town and we haven't told anyone in real life - so I'm freaking out at work and have no one to turn to. My doctor is out of town and I have my first appointment next week. If this hasn't stopped in the next couple hours I may head down to urgent care or one of my obgyn's colleagues.

Yes I had this last week and called my OB immediately. She told me as long as I wasn't cramping and it wasn't heavy and bright red then I was ok and it's pretty normal in some pregnancies. She said if I experience severe cramping and a heavy flow to go to ER, but all it was was spotting and since it has only been brown discharge but no cramping so I stopped worrying. So just monitor it and relax, I felt once I laid down the spotting stopped.

Hello Fellow Moms! I am back after being in the May 2013 group (along with mormonmamma)! Due the last week in April but kind of hoping to hold out until May 1 (work would be sooo much less complicated). I'll be a lot busier this time around but I am sincerely hoping to keep up a good, healthy exercise and nutritional routine.

Hi ~ I've been spotting since Sunday (im 8 1/2 weeks). Started brownish then turned to bright red drops Tuesday. My OB saw me first thing Wed morning and did an internal ultrasound. Baby is doing well and everything looks good. She couldn't see where the blood was coming from(not coming from my uterus)....sometimes it just happens. I do remember bleeding for about a week with both my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies and I had healthy babies so Im trying not to stress it.. Hang in there!!!

Hi! Last week I found out I'm pregnant. I am due April 22nd and have a ten-year-old daughter and an eight-month-old daughter (!) This was unplanned but I am delighted and want this to be the healthiest pregnancy I've ever had Anybody else with young babies?

I just found out on the 9th, they did a blood test to confirm and date pregnancy. They said 6-8 weeks and my ultrasounds the 27th. Ill know for sure then. From my 6-8 week dates they gave me would be some time in april. I also have a 2yr old who's birthdays in May.


I been losing weight since febuary. And not sure what to do now. Hoping my dr can clear it all up the 27th when I finally see him.

Congrats on your little one!

Thank you, TheLaser! Congratulations to you as well!

Hey all,

this is my 3rd pregnancy and EDD 4/19. The only thing different this it me around is that I'm super hungry ALL THE TIME and I'm showing much earlier. I've lost 20 Lbs since starting MFP and was up 5 lb prior to get ting preggo- I've already see the # on the scale jump up another 2 lbs since finding out. Any suggestions on how to curb this bottomless hunger to prevent rapid weight gain?? I never had this feeling with my other two and I definitely didn't have any really until I was in my second trimester so its very new to me to experiencing this so early on.

Thanks!! I need to carry a jug of water around with me I think- otherwise I just forget to drink and up getting dizzy.

First time posting in this group! Due march 6 with our first, so a bit earlier than most of the rest of you. Nausea has left me for the most part, now I'm so hungry all the time. I eat a pm snack and still go to bed hungry, wake up hungry, etc. I have my calories set at maintenance, sedentary, eat back all my exercise calories. I'm just about 12 weeks, so does anyone know if I should up my calories now? I don't want to gain too much weight so I'm afraid to up my calories, but I'm so hungry! A bit of background, I'm about 5'5", was 130ish when I discovered I was pregnant and probably gained about 4 lbs already. this is the first week back from a vacation so my weight may still be a bit artificially high at the moment. I was 132.5 before vacation.

Feel free to add me and any advice is welcome, thanks everyone and congrats to all of you!
