Great progress!! Keep it up!

I'm in a similar boat. I have 3 kids (5, 2, and 3 months) and I also work full-time. Hubby and I bought T25, but haven't started it yet. Or rather we did it for 2 weeks and haven't done it again in 4. I'm still trying to get a new routine down, so right now I'm focusing on my eating. But I know I need to get moving again.

Logan was 41 1/2 weeks and weighed 7 lbs 14 oz. I gained over 40 pounds with him. Nathan was 1 day shy of 39 weeks and weighed 8 lbs 3 oz. I gained less than 25 pounds with him. So, I'm fully expecting baby girl to be term and weigh about 8 pounds regardless of my weight gain.

Great job! Thank you for sharing!!

Hi, I had the same score as you. Nothing was seen on her ultrasound. I came back two weeks later for another check and she still looked great. They were worried that maybe my elevated AFP indicated possible pre-term labor as I went to into pre-term labor at 31 weeks with my second child. So, I was being seen every two…

Awesome job!!

Yes, I was positive on the swab test. With my second I didn't test positive. I understand your reluctance to start antibiotics now. I wouldn't want to either.

I was GBS+ with my first, but didn't receive antibiotics until I went into labor.

It's different for everyone. With my first I was overweight, but not obese and while I could tell around 13-15 weeks I didn't have an obvious bump until 18-20 weeks. With my second it was obvious at 10 weeks and I had to share the news before I was ready. I started out heavier with baby #2 too. With this baby I started as…

I totally agree with this. I don't know how almost 6 pounds at 37 weeks is small. I was 6 pounds at birth and perfectly healthy.

Weight measurements are notoriously inaccurate at the end of pregnancy. 37 weeks on my boys were "measured" at over 9 pounds. My first was born at 41 1/2 weeks and was 7 lbs 14 oz. My second was born 38w 6d and was 8 lbs 3.5 oz. Is she measuring small on her other measurements or just weight?

Hi! I'm pregnant with my first girl. I have two little boys at home. Feel free to add me!

I was trying to say like you, I am not restrictive. Typed that in the wrong order the first time. :-) Sorry!!

I upped mine when I was still starving all the time. I wasn't restrictive like you, but used my cal goals as a guidepost. So, when I would eat consistently over for about a week I would up my calories.

That's what I was going to say!!

Hi! I'm Becca too. :-) This has been a rough week, so I haven't been online much. Feel free to add me.

I use to hate vegetables, but now I eat them. Not all, but some. I started out with raw carrots and dipping them in light ranch dressing. Then I progressed to raw broccoli dipped in light or fat free ranch dressing. Then I started eating steamed broccoli with garlic salt and steamed green beans with olive oil and garlic…

This is one of the biggie things my husband I need to tackle. We are far from perfect eaters, but when we are on top of things we are pretty healthy eaters. However, our kids are beyond picky and I know some of it it's because they are small kids, but the other part of it is because we allow it. So, beginning tonight we…

I'm 16 weeks and haven't gained any weight yet. I'm eating at TDEE minus 20%. My OB is fine with this since I am very overweight. I'm not strict about staying at my calorie number. I'm using it at as guidepost. Some days I eat under and some days I eat over. I'm more focused on logging and making healthy choices.

Ice water with lemon helped me. I also ate lightly salted almonds. Carbs were my friend during my first trimester. I had an english muffin or a bagel thin every morning.

I was losing and then stopped losing and just gave up. I've been on MFP for over a year and am heavier now then when I started. I am now 4 months pregnant. I haven't gained any weight yet and I credit that to being focused on not gaining. I have really good food choice days and really bad food choice days but staying near…

Good luck!!

I was scheduled for an induction with my first son as I was over 41 1/2 weeks, so they gave me the weekend to go into labor on my own. I was was dreading the induction so as a last ditch effort I whipped out my breast pump I received for my baby shower. I'm not sure how long I "pumped" for, but I did start contractions…

Same here! This is my 3rd, so I figured I would start to show or at least expect tight clothes early.

Hi, I just joined this group this morning. I'm 9 weeks today and due September 18th. This is my 3rd. I haven't lost the weight I gained with the 2nd, so my goal this time around is to just be more mindful and make better decisions. I also want to stay active (started working out before I got pregnant) as I will be having a…

Phenomenal job!!

I use a HRM.

Amazing transformation! And I loved your story.

Sorry ladies! I thought I had replied using my phone a few days ago. I joined Planet Fitness two weeks ago. My husband and I go together the nights my MIL watches our kids. The other nights we are going to take turns. I have to keep telling myself I'm not going to have a major loss and to just keep going. I don't track my…
