I'm in! Due march 6 with our first.0

What up?! Have you ladies announced your pregnancies yet??0
-
March 15th with our second! We broke the news to family already during our annual family reunion which was a fun surprise for them
I've told my immediate supervisor at work and his boss, but other than that, none of my coworkers know. I've been trying to figure out the best time/way to do it, but we've been so busy with end-of-fiscal-year work that I figure whatever I decide should wait until after October 1st lol. On the flip side, my husband told his coworkers as soon as he could lol.0 -
I am due March 31 with my second! We have already announced to everyone (I'm 11 weeks today). There are people at work that still don't know, only because I am uncomfortable bringing it up myself. If anyone asks, I tell.0
-
I'm due March 1st with my 4th. I have HG, so I throw up a lot and lose a lot of weight, but not the healthy way. I'm trying to stay active so I keep weight off the healthy way after the baby comes and I can eat again.
I have announced. People are generally just wondering when I'll close the baby factory. :-/0 -
Yay I'm due March 5th!! So excited to find a pregnancy group on here. I was really hoping they had an ap for Pregnant myfitnesspal, but no luck yet.. It just doesn't take into consideration if you're pregnant and not necessarly trying to lose weight or gain but gain at a healthy rate?? Any luck with any of you ladies and how you set up your goals??0

I set my goal to maitain. That gave me 2,200 calories, which is plenty. And a lot more than the 1800 it was giving me before pregnancy.0 -
I also set to maintain which only gives me 1640 (I have activity to sedentary and add back any exercise calories). Most days I end up going over because I am hungry and I'm not going to not eat if hungry. I'm almost 15 weeks so maybe around 20 weeks (depending on my gain by that time) I may switch to gain 0.5lbs a week or something just so I don't go over EVERY day! But soon my weight loss ticker will show a negative number and there is not a way to get rid of it! So I will just keep changing my starting weight so that the ticker shows 0 lbs lost instead of negative lbs lost.0

My due date is 3/22 - I still haven't broadly announced it yet. I have an ultrasound appointment on Friday so I'll think I'll do it then once I have an ultrasound picture to share0
-
Does anyone have any workout routines that they're currently doing that they'd like to share? I've been basically a couch potato the past 3 months so I need something to slowly ease back into a routine. I was only working out about once a week before so I'm in decent shape but definitely not super athletic where I can just pick up a routine again and run with it.0

Due March 2. We've only told some family members, one friend and my managers. Our kids have told everyone at daycare and school. I'm currently waiting for amnio results from a positive screen.
My tracking has been horrible. I've been sick enough that I've just been eating what and when I want. I'm not as sick now but am so tired I'm finding it hard to make decent meals. I've gained a pound. Not sure if it is pregnancy or stress over the screen.
My workouts are non existent. I do some prenatal Pilates and I am getting 8-11 k steps per day on my fitbit.0 -
What are you looking to do @Skinnyfat2fab? Before finding out I was pregnant (and had way more energry) I was lifting 5-6 days a week..Ive cut it down to 3 days a week, full body. Body Building.com has great workouts you can look through (weight lifting, body weight routines, etc)
Ohh..and Im due March 24th with baby #4 :flowerforyou:0 -
I am due February 27th, but was over last time and figure this will be a March baby!0
-
Hi, I'm due March 23rd with our 5th. Still working out and lifting weights0
-
I am due March 16th with our first. I am super excited, and now that I have hit the 2nd trimester I finally feel like I have some energy again. I am excited to get back to a (light to moderate) exercise routine!!!!!0
-
Ya thank you I'm going to try that today and see if it changes my goal weight!! Thanks so much!!
I set my goal to maitain. That gave me 2,200 calories, which is plenty. And a lot more than the 1800 it was giving me before pregnancy.

hi ladies! i am due March 12th. I am finally in my 2nd trimester and STILL have zero energy. I swear I can sleep until the end of time and it still wouldnt be enough. I am missing my old workout routine (pre pregnancy i was in the gym 6 days a week for an hour or more a day) but physically i simply cant do it at the moment.
congrats to all of you!0 -
Amnio results came back clear and we are having a boy. With 2 girls and a 2 br house it makes it clear who will share!
Nausea getting better but still throwing up most days (16w). I no longer pass out in exhaustion on my 50 minute train ride each way so I don't know if that counts in increased energy.0 -
I didn't find a Feb 2015 group and since I'm due on Feb 28th, I figured that's close enough to March! I'm just happy to know some people going through the same experience as I do! 16 weeks now...almost 17 with my first :-)0
-
I will be 17 weeks Sunday. I plan to start doing Prenatal Yoga tonight.0
-
Just received call with genetic testing results. I am 13 weeks and 4 days. Everything is fantastic!!!! Oh and it's a GIRL So excited. Still working out and lifting weights. I am actually doing PiYo now and love it!0

I am due March 30th with baby #1. Has anyone on here had issues with hypothyroidism? In may my levels were normal, but my OB/GYN called and said my levels indicated hypothyroidism and started me on medication.0
-
I had my 17 week ultrasound. Everything looked great. We couldn't get a good view of the gender, so the doctor is tentatively saying girl because of a from behind shot. I'm hoping that is right. It makes 2 boys and 2 girls for me. In that order.
I have not gained any weight. I had lost 4 lbs during the 1st trimester, but have gained 2 back. So I am 2 lbs under my start weight at the beginning of pregnancy. I'm starting to have more good days than bad--so I think I am going to try and get back to the gym this week. Have to go and get the class schedule for my gym because it changes each month.
I hope that I can work out throughout because it will really help with the birth.0 -
I'm due March 30 with my 3rd. I talked to my Doc about where to set my Cals. We decided on my TDEE plus 250, which puts me at about 2170 for the day. Seems like a lot after living on 1600-ish for so long, but I only eat when I'm hungry so some days I am under and if I hit all my veggies, fruits, and macros I don't sweat it. However, if I am hungry I refuse to starve and so I will sometimes eat them all. Only gone over twice since changing and both were special occasion days where I would have gone over no matter where my calories were set!
I was careful about calories/intake during my last pregnancy and I left the hospital 15 lbs over pre-preggo weight. That slipped off, and then some. When I returned to work I was 8 lbs lighter than pre-preggo which made me VERY happy. I went back to work in my regular clothes. I hope to do it again.0 -
I am due march 16th with #4 ( 2 girls and a boy so far don't know what this one is yet) I have lost 24 lbs so far, wondering if im going to gain anything. Dr says everything is fine with my weight lose because im doing it healthy and the baby is growing fine. I've been eating healthy and walking everyday so i might be lucky and not gain 65 lbs like the rest of them.0
-
I am also due March 16th, but this is my first.
I had a doctors appointment today, and even though I haven't gained any weight yet at 17 weeks, doctor says that baby is growing just fine. Also got to hear the heartbeat today, which I wasn't expecting, so overall it was a great visit!0 -
So here I am thinking I'm up 5lbs so far in this pregnancy based off of my weigh-in at the OB Friday afternoon... Had to go again this morning for a BP check and I was 4lbs less than Friday so I've only gained about a pound these first 16 weeks.. I'll take it!!!
BP is back to normal and we are having a girl..this evens our family out..2 boys and now 2 girls My daughter is so excited!0 -
Hi ladies!
I'm due March 22nd and this is my first. We found out last week that we're having a girl!! Can't wait!
I'm 16 weeks and weighed myself this morning and have gained 4 lbs which I'm super happy about! I'm a hardgainer so making sure I'm eating enough to gain weight is one of my main concerns.
I used to work out prior to pregnancy but only like once a week, twice if I was feeling ambitious lol. I was basically a couch warmer for my entire first trimester of pregnancy but now that I'm feeling better I really want to try to be more active. I keep hearing all the benefits for both myself and most importantly my little baby and I definitely want to take advantage of doing all I can!
Any ladies here have a particular routine they'd like to share? I've googled plenty of routines but I think it's nice to be able to sometimes discuss things directly with other people.
Also, does anyone know what the main differences are between regular yoga and prenatal yoga? Is it more just certain stretches we don't do in prenatal yoga due to balance issues? I'd love some input if anyone nows0 -
I have a confession. Between having 2 kids playing soccer and bowling (each play both) and a 16 month old getting into everything, plus working full time...I haven't been doing much on the work out front. This pregnancy, like all my others, is draining me. I barely have the energy to work all day, go 3 different places to pick up one kid at each location, and then rush to their activities (always at different parks across town from each other). After picking them up from the activities I rush home to cook and feed them supper. Then it is showers, bed time routine, and bed! At that point it is usually about 10 pm at the earliest before I look at the clock and realize that I have made it through another day without working out. Realistically at that point I'm exhausted! At 20 weeks I just don't have the energy to do much. I can't work out while they are at practice because I am driving the other to their practice. I don't want to work out during their games because I don't want to miss watching them play. I was going to work out during bowling because it is 4 hours! However, just as I was leaving this last week, a kid on my oldests' team starting really bullying my son and his friend. His parents weren't stepping in and my son is very timid. So I stayed to make sure that he wasn't physically hurt and I verbally supported him, I was calling him over and quietly giving him tips and strategies to employ to hopefully get the bully to stop. At this point though, I told him if the kid touches him--punch him. The kid is a typical bully--if he were challenged in that way he would cry and blame my son. So I want to be there for that because I'm not going to allow my son to be blamed. This kid has had 4 years of issues and no one in his family want to admit it is HIS issue and not the 100's of other kids that have complained.
Sorry, I kinda side railed on a rant there. Point is, I'm swamped with things to do and really tired! I need that infamous 2nd trimester energy.0 -
Hi Ladies,
I'm due with our first on March 12. So I'm just about 20 weeks now. I still haven't gained anything yet. Dr isn't concerned yet but said she'd like to see a gain soon. I've been so terrible with food and excerise I'm surprised I haven't ballooned. I guess the sickness is keeping the weight at bay.
I still have to wait two weeks to find out what were having. I'm getting impatient. Whatever it is it's definitely active. I feel like baby is constantly wiggling and poking, it's very distracting. But it's nice to know baby is enjoying itself in there.0
