Well ladies I'm official! I am 8wks 2days today. Go for my second appointment tomorrow.

I know a lot of you are concerned about weight gain so I thought I would post this as a refresher for some and to help those who don't know :) Last time I gained 40lbs and lost 30lbs when I gave birth. Next time I plan to do better but considering that I ate double cheese burgers w/fries and ice cream 4-5 days a week I…

I was extreamly uncomfortable with the pressure of regular pants over my lower abdomen so i started wearing maternity pants around 12wks I say do what is comfortable to you.

Hello ALL, I haven't posted on here for a while.....I had my Mirena taken out on the 5th of this month and although we didn't plan on "trying" until December we haven't been preventing either. I kinda have the feeling I might be pregnant already :) I won't be able to find out for sure for another week but I have felt sick…

I hate to say but I got that beat. I was induced and in labor for 40hrs and only dialated 1.5-2cm. my daughter was so larg I don't think she could move down far enough to push on my cervix to make me dialate. NO Fun!!!

I had a c-section 2years ago and it was verticle because my daughter was so large and had already moved down so far that was the only way to get her. I am not sure what a bikini cut would look like but I can only imagine it would look much better than what I have. The doctor ecpected a large baby but not as large as she…

buping so i don't loose the page

Starting weight (Week 1): 181 Goal: 176

you can join the group "Starting a Challenge~~do you want to take this step with me" We just weighed in monday and logged measurements. We will do it every Monday for a month.

I do the p90x yoga I really get a goodwork out with it. I actually did it tonight.

Also I used to do Weight Watchers and if you go on their website you can order serving spoons that are in 1/2 cup and 1 cup sizes.

I have plenty of measuring cups/spoons and last year I bought a digital scale. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!! I tended to eyeball size on the small side and now I get to eat more so it is awesome.

I ate it all the time. At home I would just heat it up and even whe we went out to eat I loved a club sandwich I would just tell teh waitress that I needed the meat to be heated up and it was never a problem. Maybe they can do the same.

Forgot to add Age: 28 Height: 5' 2"

When I was pregnant with my daughter I didn't start showing until about 19-20wks and that was only if I wore a tight shirt. But by month 6 there was no hiding it.

Good old Spaghetti use wheat noodles or smart taste noodles, ground turkey breast, and light sauce along with any veggies you put in like tomato, onions, or peppers.

mmmm that looks good I will have to try that for lunch one day.

I like Jello 60 calorie Dark chocolate pudding with low fat whipped cream on top. Or jello cups

I am up for the challenge!!!

Also if you choose to go natural you need to do your reading. It will not be easy but from what I read the benefits were worth the temporary pain but it is good to try to find a natural birth class and read up on relaxation techniques. Also natural pain management techniques like shower, heat, massage, music, etc.... Good…

When I had my daughter I had every intention of going "natural" but....she was 2 weeks late and I had to be induced. I was in labor a total of 30hrs. I did not sleep the first night in the hospital and after 15 hours of labor with only 1cm dilation I got something in my IV to take the edge off so I could nap because I was…

I walked until I was about 6months but had to stop because of round ligament pains. They just bothered me to bad and when they finally stoped I was huge and it was the middle of the summer. But many friends of mine exercised til the end. I even had a friend that is a runner and since she was used to it the doctor said it…

No worries :) I lost 30lbs before I ever left the hospital and from talking to some of my friends that seems pretty normal even though my baby was 10lbs 12oz.

Going on teh 1st of October to get my Mirena taken out. I haven't had a period in almost 2yrs. Anyone else TTC after having a Mirena? How long did it take? First time around I was on hte pill and after getting off it and having one regular period we started TTC and succeeded in the first month. I hope it goes the same this…

We are going to start TTC our 2nd child in a few months but I would like to get some weight off before I get pregnant and stay within healthy weight gain while pregnant.
