    Started a new prenatal workout program this week. I’ve been very discouraged the past week and am hoping the program will help shift my focus and provide some strategies, as I seem to be packing on weight no matter how careful I am about what I eat. How can you tell the difference between fat and water weight? I gained 3lbs in one week but have been getting over 10000 steps per day and never eating more that 2000 calories.

    @Talleah91 It could just be bloat. That happened to me for a while and then I'd drop the weight the next week. If you're fluctuating wildly, I wouldn't worry too much about it, as it should even out the further along you progress. If you're not fluctuating and just keep increasing at a rapid rate, I'd check in with the doctor to make sure everything is as it should be.

    How's everyone doing? I'm entering week 11 and still pretty exhausted (although that's probably due to my job) and I still have a permanent undercurrent of constant nausea. For the most part, I've been eating complex carbs, beans and red meat. I can only keep chicken or fish down if it's breaded, so can't wait for that to return to normal. I do eat a lot of fruit as that helps my nausea and it's the easiest thing to consume every 2-3 hours. I fluctuate back and forth between 2-3 lbs weight gain, so I'm on track for nearing the end of first trimester, so excited about that! Plus, all scans show a healthy, hilariously active baby! I'm still relegated to just walking for a workout since my last scare, until I reach 14 weeks. Can't wait for that too. Walking is fine, but I've always been more active. Send in your updates!!

    I go in for my NIPT tomorrow and although I don't think there's anything to be worried about, I'm on the verge of freaking out. #TheseHormonesWillBeTheDeathOfMe

    I can relate. I wept in the kitchen yesterday while I loaded the dishwasher, convinced I was going to miscarry soon. I have absolutely no reason to think that, I already had a normal sonogram, and I'm 12 weeks tomorrow. It's hormones! I hope we both get happy coming into our second trimester...

    About to reach 14 weeks this Friday and hoping it comes with major relief. I'm SUPER exhausted from work, although the nausea has given way just a little. I can also definitely do without the acne. The new belly itch isn't a fav, but compared to my 1st trimester symptoms, I'll take it! I lost weight this week which has me worried because I have been eating a lot of carbs. Maybe I haven't been eating enough. I know it's hard for me to get as much water in as I need with my schedule so I gotta figure out a way to fix both of those things. Next appointment is in a week and can't wait to see LB again! How is everyone else progressing along?
