Hello! I havent had official doctors visist yet. But according to websites Im due Oct 2, 2012!!

I'm due with my third October 21st !!

I just found out I am pregnant for the first time ever a little over 48 hours ago. I haven't had an official check up with the dr. yet and my estimated due date based on my last cycle and some very helpful websites is October 25th. I just told my husband last night for Valentine's day and he is pretty much freaking out lol. Haven't told anyone yet - I wanted to get really fit before having a baby but God had another plan, apparently. I had lost only 15 lbs which is better than nothing but I am still over 200 by about 10 lbs and I am freaking out about gaining more than I've lost. I've heard from friends in similar weight ranges and online that the weight recommendation for people my size is anywhere between 11-25 lbs. Both the high and low end of these numbers are worrying me for opposite reasons. 11 doesnt sound healthy and 25 sounds like I'll be fat forever lol. I don't know when we are going to start telling people but I know I'll just burst if I say nothing at all to anyone, which is why I am posting and pretty much going on and on right now.
I already had a hormonal outburst at my husband this morning when he told me not to tell anyone :-( I have always said that whenever I found out I was preggo, I'd wait until at least 8-12 weeks when things are more "sure" of working out but I never imagined telling literally NO ONE and how hard that would be.
It hurts me that one of the first topics my husband brough up after hearing the news was my weight... and how much he thinks I should eat or not eat or gain or not gain... a close friend of ours recently had a pretty rough pregnancy resulting in a 9 lb baby and a c-sec -- who happens to practically be my twin when it comes to weight struggles. I know he is just concerned about my health and the baby's health but my hormones are telling me he just doesnt want a cow wife lol.
BLAH there it is.
I'm gonna be a Mommy. I am over the moon excited but scared at the same time. Let's not even get into the "practical' worries like money and living situation lol.

Roll Call? Lol. Add me to October 2012 list! Due around 10/27. According to blood test i'm only 2-3 weeks. We couldn't wait to start telling people so we broke the news yesterday but had already told our family on Sunday when I took hpt. Gained 45 lbs with 1st so my goal is to keep up my new healthy lifestyle by continuing exercising 3 to 4 days a week and counting my calories and hope to gain a normal 25-35 lbs this time. My last was born 7/5/10 and I was miserably hot and swollen, so yay for fall babies!

I just took a hpt last night and another this morning both positive. I am going to the dr for the official result today. According to my last monthly I'm due October 12!! My plan is to not gain as much as I did the first pregnancy(115 to 172). I would like to try and eat healthier and stay active.

Thanks Lainerigs - i feel much better today about it all :-)

Kerrbear - we are right around the same time! I had my blood test done last night with results today of 162 and my first apt on March 6th :-) congrats to you and all other October babies!

Praying for safe and healthy, full term babies and mommies!

hi ladies! i recently found out i am pregnant. this after losing 36lbs, thanks to adapting to a "southbeach diet" eating habit and using mfp. i have always gained too much weight during my pregnancies, i have 3 children. i'm hoping to stay on top of it this time. my due date as of right now is 10/11/12. this will be number 4 for me god willing. i have had 3 miscarriages in the last year, 2 early on and 1 at 16weeks. i am high risk so i am really serious about maintaining a healthy diet. anything to give my little guy a better chance! congrats to all of you!!!

im 4 weeks and 5 days-due October 25th! we just found out on valentines day! i wont be going for a doc checkup until probably next month and we decided not to tell family and friends and facebook people until middle of april when i'm done with the first trimester. this will be our third (and last!!) child. i have a 10 year old and 20 month old boys. right now they are blessed to be at home with my husband and the plan is for me to (finally!) be a SAHM once the baby is born. ive worked full time since i had my first baby at age 19. its means ALOT of financial sacrifices, but we are determined to do it!! and im very excited but nervous!!
feel free to add me as a friend-i could use some positive pregnant mommies as friends!! :-)

Hi guys! I'm due 10-20 with baby #2. I had a tiny bit of spotting earlier in the week so my nurse sent me for blood work to check my HCG numbers. On Tuesday they were 3,351. I'll get my results tomorrow from the blood they took today. If they doubled then I'll get to schedule an u/s to make sure everything is going well I don't see my Dr. until March 14th. I'll be almost 8 weeks by then. My goal this pregnancy is to not gain 60 lbs like last time!!!!
Congrats everyone!!

thank you guys !! I'm hopeful it won't take to long !!

Pregnancy brain is in full force for me!! Anyone else? Good grief I don't remember it happening so early last time. I've had it since the very beginning of this one, but now it's baaaaaaaaaaaaad. We flew out of state this past weekend & I lost or misplaced my driver's license. I NEVER do that. I am the most organized person ever. Today I burned my lunch because I got the cooking time wrong. I NEVER do that. Lots of things like this keep happening. Driving me crazy! Approaching the 6 week mark & praying I don't get m/s this time. That's when it started last time. Fingers crossed. How is everyone else?

I just found out I'm pregnant! This is a total shock as I have a 5.5 month old AND a 2yo. I am due 11/2, but will have this baby at the end of October via c-section. I'm only 5ish wks along now. SOOO glad I found this group!
