in Introduce Yourself
Hey there! My name is Katie and I'm due with my first child on Monday the 28th. I'm from Maryland and I've gained 40lbs and did not stick to my healthy habits I had before I got pregnant. I lost 15lbs and then found out I was pregnant. I stayed active till about 7 months into my pregnancy. Now with only 4 short days till my expected due date, I really want to get back into my healthy habits and to give my daughter the best opportunity to live a healthy life. I'm open and honest and would love to have friends to help support me and for me to be able to support others and learn better habits. Add me and I'll add you back!

    Sounds like we're in the same boat! I'm a new mom and 5 months pp but I'm looking to lose the baby weight and more. I put on about 35lbs when I was pregnant. Feel free to add me if you'd like :)

    Ooh...the 28th is coming up fast. Good luck to you! I'm 4 weeks pp and just re-joining the site. I also gained 40 lbs (well, 37, but close enough) during my pregnancy. Not my first, my third, but my older two kids are 14 and 10, so in some ways it feels like my first.

    Hope it's ok if I send friend requests to everyone in this thread. :)

    Hi, my daughter is 13mo now, but I was just like you. My advice is breastfeed, breastfeed, breastfeed, eat as natural as you possibly can and exercise (anything!). I was able to drop 30lb in 4.5 weeks postP.

    Thank you ladies so much for your encouragement! Being a first timer is very scary but I know we will survive! @yassanbran89 that is my goal. I would love to be able to breastfeed till 6 months and we usually eat as clean as possible but lately I've been so exhausted so my mother in law has been staying with us and she's making quick dinners so I've been trying to portion better since it's not our usual style of cooking. I thank you all for the friend requests!!!! I'm glad to have some mama love and understanding.
