Hi girls, I am Due Sep 7, 2012 so I thought I’d pop in to say hi. I am also very tired and hungry all the time. I am worried too because my Zumba class has been on a THREE week break and I want to get back doing it sooner than later because I am afraid it will be too hard being newly pregnant where as I was in a good routine before.

I also just started the Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred to keep busy over the holidays. So you think that is ok? I can still do sit ups and stuff because I am only just about 5 weeks.

So, I figured we should have a "topic" for moms due in the same month who are going through the same stages together.

I'm due August 29th (according to the computer...I'll know for sure when I see the doctor today) So I'm 6w, 1d.

I found out Christmas week and surprised my hubby and daughter with the news Christmas morning. We have shared with most of our family so far (waiting for in-laws to get here from NY on Sun. so we can share in person). After that we plan to share w/ our church and close friends and then finally Facebook.

So far, my symptoms have been: being tired, especially middle of the day energy crashes. Sore boobies. Very irritable! Crazy gas! (so glamorous!!! lol) and yesterday was the first day my stomach started to feel out of sorts. I was really sick w/ my first but it did not kick in until 8 weeks. Will be interesting to see how things go with this one. Oh and I have had mad cravings for all things salty. Salt is my taste-buds best friend at the moment. hee hee Better than having the sweet tooth I had with DD. I have always had really low blood pressure so I'm not too concerned about indulging in my salt cravings at this point.

I am due August 29th as well. 6 weeks 2 days!

We also found out the week of Christmas- but didn't share with anyone until recently. I am having the same "sympton" as you are- along w/ horrible headaches! I can't wait to get home and go to bed! I have a step son- and my husband and I are trying to find a cool way to tell him about the baby- any ideas?? He is 11 years old.

Due Aug 21, so 7.5 weeks along. Exhausted, nauseous and gaggy. Dealing so much better with the symptoms this time, as i have a lot of coping strategies plus this time I don't have a long commute. Started accupuncture early this time to try and get ahead of the game, getting as much sleep as I can with a full time job, a Toddler and a house to take care of. That does mean though that I haven't made it to the gym of late, while I used to go at 8pm when DD went to bed, I am now right behind her! The nausea and food aversions are best kept in check by not letting myself get hungry, if I get nauseous its hard to even find something I want to eat. Here is how to do it and not eat for a "tribe"! Take what you would eat in a day for Maintenance, meals and snacks, and split it into 6-8 meal times, eat your cereal now and your yogurt in an hour or 2, split your sandwich into halves. On the other hand if you are having trouble getting enough calories, try adding butter, peanut butter or cheese to what you are eating as well as snacking on raw almonds instead of crackers and find a good high calorie Whole grain bread you can stomach.

7am - 1 Whole Wheat toast with butter and jam.
9am - Apple
11am - Almonds
12pm - Bagel with butter and cheese
2pm - Almonds
4pm - Crackers with Peanut Butter
5:30pm - Subway - half a foot long
9pm - Other half of Footlong

Hi,

I'm currently due August 4th although I will be having my official dating scan this week/next week.
I can't wait for my scan, I'm so anxious to find out that everything is ok.....
Finding out you are pregnant before crimbo is not a great thing in some ways...I have gained 5lbs and am 10 weeks and 4 days...! Although I defo have a very small hard bump, I know some of it is over indulgence over the festive period ( I just have to work hard to stay on track going forwards.

Good luck yummy mummies to be!

Kx

Hi ladies, as of right now (based on my LMP) I am due with baby number two on August 13, 2012. Will have a more accurate date once I have some blood work and an ultrasound.

So far this pregnancy is about as different as possible from my first, I have no morning sickness, I just feel really tired most of the time. I've been super lazy the past few weeks and am getting back to my hot yoga classes this week.

Brandy715, my arms constantly fall asleep at night. I just shake them awake and roll over.

Hi, I'm Amy, and I too am due August 29th! I found out over Christmas so we wrapped little stockings and had our four year old give our parents the gifts at Christmas. When they opened the package and asked what it was for, Kaiden told them he was going to be a big brother! He's so excited. We've told our close friends, but are waiting until the US on the 17th before making the announcement via Facebook. I'm "advanced maternal age" at 38. I'm 5 years older than my last pregnancy so I'm definitely feeling more fatigued. I'm a boot camp instructor that teaches a class at 5:30 every morning, then work a full time job. It's been tough but I'm sure it's going to get tougher.

The nausea is irritating. Not enough to puke, but just a constant feeling of it. I remember having it with Kaiden, but I don't remember it being as frequent. Staying full helps along with drinking herbal teas.

I'm still running and doing boot camp in the evening. My doctor and I are aiming for me to only gain no more than 15 pounds at most this time around. I gained 25 with Kaiden.

We waited to have another one because of my son Kaiden. Right before Brian and I were going to start trying for number 2, Kaiden was diagnosed with a very aggressive, cancerous brain tumor. Our world stopped for about a year while getting him the care and treatment he needed. I'm so very happy to say that little man is cancer free and doing awesome! We'll always have that fear of the cancer returning which made me apprehensive about trying for number 2, but we decided we didn't want to let cancer dictate our life. So, here we are 4 years later, anxiously awaiting our second bundle of joy.

Anyone else find the waiting is harder for the second one? I'm ready to look the part.

Hey there!! I'm about 5-6 weeks pregnant, which would place me at the end of August or early September.
I go to my GYN on the 30th to get my first sonogram and projected due date (So excited!!!)

So far, the only symptoms I'm having is fatigue and sore breasts. No morning sickness yet (knock on wood).

Before I became pregnant I was lifting weights daily, and using the elliptical or running on the treadmill for 45minutes a day. But now I'm scared to push myself, because the 1st trimester is the most crucial. So I've only been doing light weights and walking. But I want to do more... safely.

Hi All!

I am new here and thought I would say hello!

I am pregnant with my 2nd child and due 8/17/12 We found out the beginning of December and told our family over the Christmas holiday. We just had our 1st dating ultrasound and got to see our little bean. It was truly amazing!

Besides feeling tired 24/7 I am doing okay. I am still working out at least 3x/wk - jogging, walking, elliptical, and Wii dance/zumba games and hope to continue throughout the rest of my pregnancy.

cpow81 - Welcome & congrats.

Demwitted - I had an aversion to chicken when I was pg with DD. I just couldn't stomach it through the entire first trimester. I'm sorry to hear about your colds, I hope they get better along with the m/s.

Someone needs to keep me out of the kitchen. Is there anyone else w/o morning sickness who is eating like a pig? I am constantly hungry, I have to eat every 90m to 2 hours and I hate it. I weigh in tomorrow and I will be shocked if I'm not up 3-5 lbs.
