  • Just hit my big mini goal! A normal BMI for the first time ever in my life!!!! 39 lbs lost to get there. Now it’s another 10-15 lbs plus toning to get where I want to be, but I’m so excited to hit this one since it’s always been in the back of my mind.
  • So impressive! I just weaned my second and restarting my weight loss journey and you are inspiring me on this rough day. Amazing work!!!
  • Congratulations! I'm 5'3 and similar starting weight and goal. Thanks for posting and keeping me inspired!!!
  • Just as an update: they actually kept dropping, reaching a low of 84. The high risk OB told me that unless they got to the 70's she wasn't going to worry. I was also told to prepare for an epidural free delivery, but somehow the day I went into labor they were at 99 and the anesthesiologist let me get one even though their…

  • Thanks for the helpful words! I'm still waiting to hear from the high risk OB (of course it takes a while to hear back when you are slightly nervous!) Yes, the plan is to continually monitor my levels. I'm sincerely hoping it stays at or above 100 since that is more of a "normal" low platelet count. I have heard other…

  • I generally eat pretty healthy, but some days feel like a bottomless pit! This little girl has given me a sweet tooth so fruit has been the easiest way to hit that craving without doing too much damage. On those days I have either a giant bowl of watermelon, pick through cherries that are everywhere right now, or eat a…

  • If you are hungry, you should eat - but if your doctor isn't concerned about your weight gain at this point and your son is measuring on track then, eh? Based on all the people on this forum it seems like everyone gained at different times. Some more at the beginning, some more at the end and some just steady. It's been…
  • Let me know how that pillow works for you! The little wedge has actually been awesome, and I haven't had any hip pain since! Just the past few days I have been able to feel her all the time, before it was only if her feet or hands were facing out. It's weird to now feel her whenever she is awake. And I completely agree,…

  • Oh my gosh - I'm so sorry that happened! Congrats on your son, and I hope he gets well enough to be removed from the NICU soon! Good luck in your recovery, I can't even imagine.
  • @Kekekylene Congrats! How exciting! Hope everyone else is doing well! I'm starting to have some more issues sleeping since sleeping on my side is not going well. I am usually a back sleeper and have been waking up with hip pain. I bought a $5 boppy wedge off craigslist yesterday and had a better night sleep last night,…
