New and Due August 2013! :)
Hey! I just rejoined MFP after a long time away as a way to track nutrition and exercise this pregnancy (this is #2 for me) and then to lose the baby weight plus some afterwards. I would LOVE to have pregnant friends on here (since my focus is not weight loss but maintenance for tri one and then healthy gain), so please…

Hello!
Hi! I just joined this group to read up on how to do calories while pregnant. I'm almost 33 week. I started using MFP a few months before finding out I was expecting. It worked great. My brother lost 30 lbs using it. I had lost 10 lbs but have gained that and more back. I want to keep me and baby healthy, but I don't won't…

Weight Gain Composition
Someone posted this link a while back in the "How much have you gained" thread, and I was thinking of it today, I guess because I'm 20 weeks this week, and this site shows your weight gain composition for 10, 20, 30, and 40 weeks. I wanted to pull it back up again in case anyone else is curious.…

Doctor Comments RANT
:grumble: So I knew that my weight has jumped quite a bit in the past month. At my last visit, I had gained 13lbs, and today I had gained another 8lbs in 1 month. :embarassed: They have me at 23 weeks (25 based on LMP) and up 21lbs. I didn't think that was so bad, though I know a big jump isn't so great. Now- I log here…

New to this group....
I am 14 weeks today. My husband and I went to a Mexican resort in October, and we came home with a few extra pounds and a lil' passenger. With my daughter, I gained 40 pounds and it took 2 years to get rid of it. In the 5 years since I've done this, I've done a marathon, triathlon and many races. I'm fitter and I vowed to…

Questions about breasts
In the first trimester I went up a size. Now at 16 weeks, they've slowed down (thank goodness). Will they continue to grow throughout the pregnancy or is the first trimester the major growth spurt? I've been told after birth and during nursing they'll explode. I ask because I've purchased 1 bra in a larger size and I don't…

Maternity Photos
Whose done them? Who is going to do them? How did you get your DH on board?? I found my photographer and I asked my husband when he would like to get them done.

Fibroids and/or Nabothean Cysts Anyone?
I guess this is fairly common in older women (up to 70% have these by the time they turn 50!). My ultrasounds have been hard to read because of them. Anyone else have them and are there possible complications in my future?

Liz's PSA about Pregnancy Weight
Do NOT let yourself get stressed about your weight gain. Seriously. STOP IT. The health of your baby and pregnancy is not defined by that number on the scale. This is especially directed at you ladies in your first trimester who haven't quite come to terms with the scale moving up every doctor's visit. I keep seeing you…

Feeling the Baby!
I have been feeling the little flutters for a while now. For the last two days though, I have been feeling the first real 'big' movements! Unfortunately, this baby likes to kick in the same spot as my first - the big red 'bladder - make her run for the bathroom' button!
