3rd pregnancy here. 1st I gained @60, 2nd wwas@ 45, I did more working out w 2nd but I was diagnosed w placenta previa aat16wks so I had to stop working out completely till 30wwks, with the 3rd im hoping ill get to workout the entire pregnancy, I also got into running but haven't done more then 10mins straightafter I found out I was pregnant, this pregnancy has been 100% different, I don't even feel pregnant, I'm in mmy2nd trimester now and soooo happy i haven't gained any weight yet, fingers crossed hoping to stay under 30lbs this time.

Yes, this is my 3rd and I feel all kinds of "not pregnant" or different symptoms. I told my DH today, "I don't feel very pregnant, expect when I'm having nausea or having back cramps". So I guess I am pregnant, just having a whole new experience this time around. I am way more active this time around than the other 2, so I'm not sure if that has a part in it. I'm also older, I had my last 5 years ago. I didn't have either symptom with my first 2, which I had very similar symptoms both times, one was a girl and the other was a boy.

As for weight gained, I gained 45lbs with both of my pregnancy but the weight slipped off without much fuss. My first, had a lot of fluid and her placenta was HUGE. Second, I don't remember much, but I was about a size 4 by the time he was 1 year, which was way smaller than I was before I was pregnant. I don't remember working out like I am now -- for me preggo fat is not my enemy. Being lazy is!

I am actually concerned I won't gain enough weight. I had 2 healthy babies delivered at home at gaining 45lbs. I kinda want to gain that much again, just because I have seen the result. I didn't track my exercise, food intake, or weight the last pregnancies. I don't want to micromanage everything anymore, but I've gotten so used to it when I was trying to loose weight.

So far I am only at 5weeks 3 days and didn't gain a pound yet.

3rd baby for me too, been an emotional rollercoaster since finding out on Sunday ... can we afford this? What will happen to my lovely job share position? How will I find time for the other two? Then I went out for a run on Monday, and when I got home I had spotting, that changed my perspective A LOT and QUICKLY! Midwife has said no running for now, mainly for my own piece of mind, she didn't think the running would be bad really, but thought if I did miscarry I would feel better knowing that I hadn't been running ... anyway, no spotting since then, so fingers crossed! I feel pregnant, feeling continually nauseous and tired.

I gained 40lb with my first and managed to lose 22lb before getting pregnant with my second and gaining 26lb ... which is approximately what I've lost ...

I'm carrying number 3 (if you don't count a miscarriage at 13 weeks between the first two), however I have no idea what to expect this time around. #1 was a very easy, straight-forward pregnancy/delivery and I gained 30 pounds. Lost 25 of that before #2 came along and gave me severe nausea that had to be medicated - gained 30 pounds. AND NEVER LOST IT... In fact, I had gained 15 pounds before I started MFP. So, coincidentally, the day I found out this Little Bean was cooking, I was back down those 15 pounds to put me at the same weight I delivered #2. (And I was SO looking forward to getting under that number!)

The biggest differences this pregnancy will be: I've gotten into a habit of exercising, whereas I NEVER exercised before; I've gotten into the habit of eating so much better than I have in my entire life, including giving up soda completely; and the biggie, IT'S BEEN 10 YEARS SINCE MY LAST PREGNANCY and I just crossed over into "advanced maternal age" zone a couple weeks ago.

Kind of wondering what my body will do this time around...

I am considered AMA, too. My mom keeps cracking jokes about bringing a walker to the hospital for me. Did you do all of the screens yet?

I did the first screen. Blood test plus an US. My numbers were comparable to a 20 year old person. I won't lie, it was a relief. Yeah, my mom is enjoying it. She had me in high school, so I was in college by the time she was my age. This is it for me, though. Getting my tubes tied whilst having my c section.

I gained 50lbs with my 1st, 35lbs with my second, and currently 22lbs @ 32 weeks with my 3rd. Midwife has advised me not to gain over 30 lbs, so we will see. I am definitely more active than I ever was with the past 2, so I'm hoping that will help me with a speedy recovery.

Is anyone else having more pains and aches 3rd time around???? I can't believe how much physical pain I have wtih this pregnancy. It's been a very very easy pregnancy up until 4-5weeks ago. Am 27 weeks. My lower joint in my back is messed up and it hurts to walk almost 90% of the time. I just try to ignore it as much as I can. am seeing a chiro for it so I'm hoping it gets better. My inner thighs feel like i've been doing squats non stop. I can' barely turn over on my side at night my legs hurt sooo bad when i move them. It's sad because I'll be 24 next week and i feel like an old gramma. Feel like ive run over. Glad I'm doing this now, can't imagine how much harder it'd be on my body if i was older.
