Went to my midwife today & am up 7 pounds in 2 weeks! She's not worried because I had only gained 5 before that & I'm almost 35 weeks. It's a huge hit for me tho. So I'm up 12 pounds total right before turning 35 weeks.

I never added 300 more calories. I did usually eat all my exercise calories but my numbers were way lower. I was doing terrific until the past 2 weeks. I did add more calories because I was hungrier but I think I may have added too many because I've used it as an excuse to eat garbage! I'm 34 weeks & 3 days and just hit…

Thank you ladies. I'm pretty sure I'll just hold off. I don't think I'd want anyone doing anything extra to me either. :-). Unless, of course, I do not get.my VBAC. Which would really be heartbreaking. Thank you for your input. :-) :-)

Almost 34 weeks & another 2lb gain this week! I'm trying to not stress, I think most of this is fluid because I haven't been as great w my water & my ring doesn't fit as well this week. Total 8lbs so far. I'd like to get by a couple weeks without gaining. :-)

It's a very good idea. I got so many diapers w my 2yo I was good for a couple months too. Formula, I am pretty sure I tried to return once & was told they coukldnt accept it. So I would say, definitely double/triple check!

Thank you ladies :-) :-). Good idea w the belly lifting...I'll try that! :-) :-)

Hi. :-). I'm 33+1 with my second & last baby girl. I had been doing really well w my food logging & weight management until this pastweek. Now it seems lIke my body is doing cray pregnant things. My last pregnancy was a lot of stress w body image & i was pretty food obsessed. I think it was a major factor in having morning…

Almost 33 weeks & the scale is up 2 pounds this week. Total gain of 6 pounds. I'm hoping it was just my laziness & next week it will go away but I guess it is time that I might start gaining. Poo...lol

Hi! I'm almost 32 weeks & am down another pound! That's a 4 pound gain! I started out a lot heavier than I planned but I've been working hard to not gain a bunch. I was hoping to only gain 15 or so pounds. At this rate I may weigh as much as I did w my first daughter when I deliver! That pregnancy I started out about 35lbs…

You ladies are awesome. I'm not sure I would have managed half as well without your support. With weight loss issues, pregnancy & completely off topic crap. :-) :-) :-)

Thank you ladies :-) I do feel better today when I'm back to routine. :-) Last night was pretty rough, hips & back were killing me & it seemed like the baby had shifted down. Today I feel pretty good. My stuff to get done is really getting my Christmas shopping done for my 2yo. I am using my, now very low, daycare money &…

31 weeks & I'm up 5 pounds! Pretty happy with that & trying to get right w the fact that I'll probably be gaining soon. :-)

I felt weird about sharing my first girl's name before she was born but this time I'm OK w it. Her name is Madison "Maddie" Elizabeth Smith. :-)

Hi! I was also starving constantly in my first trimester. I gained most of my weight there but I did actually lose a little too after. I started out heavier than I hoped before my pregnancy so I've been super careful go track food & not gain a ton. My max goal is 15 but less would be great! I'll be 30 weeks tomorrow & am…

Our family can't really afford me not doing my daycare. Even making as little as I do now it's a struggle. That w the fact that I MISS adults & non child related work I have been wanting to get back to work after the baby is finished breastfeeding, around 6 months. I just also don't want to miss that time w her. I'm really…

Thursday is my weekly WI day & I'm down a pound! That makes for a 5lb gain coming up n 30 weeks!!! I haven't been this weight since mid July. I know I can start gaining weight anytime now but this makes me super happy. I've been hoping to gain 15 or less. :-)

Thanks @jgrod! :-) :-) :-)

Hi! Welcome & congrats! I am 29 1/2 weeks and have gained 6lbs so far. In the beginning I was up a little more but it did balance out for me. Of course I was also on bed rest for about 6 weeks so being able to be more active helped. I think only 2 pounds are from beyond my 1st trimester. I wouldn't worry too much. For me…

Welcome & congrats on you healthy weight & TTC! I love this group, it's definitely been a huge help for me. :-)

Hi November Mommas! I wanted to share my super happy moment this week. In July my OB/GYN closed & I had to find a new midwife. I did & she's nice enough but I still didn't feel 100% & was strongly consdering trying to have an "accidental" home birth. (Hubby is anti) Then I find out that my favorite midwife from the…

Coming up on week 29 & still maintaining at a 6lb gain! Soon I'm pretty sure the scale is going to creep up but I'm holding out as long as I can! Feeling very happy about this! :-) :-) :-)

I agree it's worth a call. It really could be nothing but after having one miscarriage I never take it lightly. W my 2yo I had pretty heavy bleeding at 6-7 weeks for almost 2 weeks & at first felt sure I was losing the pregnancy but thankfully she stuck in there! With my current I had heavy bleeding & clotting around 11…

I was the same way w my 2yo. I honestly think that my stress over my weight played a major part in my "morning sickness" that lasted until 38 weeks. I would stand on the scale backwards, my heart would race, I'd feel sick. I couldn't eat & had a super hard pregnancy. I'm very thankful to be doing much better this time,…

I've learned to not pay much attention to it. My last pregnancy I would get major anxiety & sick feeling. But after thinking, even when I weighed 120 or so the scale there always said more than home, naked, first thing in the morning. This week I have to get weighed twice and am actually looking forward to it. It will say…

Hi November mommas! I'm 28 weeks & a day, 7 months! This pregnancy has been much easier & quicker than last time. I'm up 6lbs,still wearing my wedding ring & have little to no swelling. Doing yoga when i can & trying to get exercise in, mainly walking, plus lots of water! Tracking my food & support from mfp has really…

I'm looking forward to some responses too! I did plan about a month before I can start exercise but not sure what I'll be doing yet. :-)

Hi! Congrats & welcome. :-) :-) :-) :-)

I'm 7 months & 1 day!! 28th week I'm back to 6lbs as of my last weigh in! Still wearing my wedding ring & very little to no swelling. So much different than last time! Very excited for my new baby girl & to start my weightloss plan after! Now to get over this cold!

Lol. Pregnant or not, I don't see myself ever doing that. My ankle hates walking on the beach. And I'll be 7 months Sunday!!!

Wow!! So good to know!! My sister has been doing it for me but after school starts back up she won't be around as often. My hubby would do it but I can already smell resentment before asking him! Lol
