Starting my 3rd trimester Sunday & at 27 weeks I'll have gained 6.5 pounds! My 2 pound increase from last week mostly went away, minus the half pound. Very happy!!

Hey Ruby! I haven't been able to find any in Netflix! Know any names?

I like the idea of new goals! Getting under 200 & staying was a big one but it might be time to pick another little milestone!

Congrats! I started my 2nd pregnancy way more over weight that I hoped. I was 205 & I'm only 4'11". So far I've managed to keep a pretty good hold on maintaining. As of last week I was up 6 pounds at 26 weeks. Logging my food has helped so much. When I was just making better choices it was not enough. Plus I feel that once…

:-)

I actually found a ton on YouTube, subscribed to save em & watch them on TV. :-) :-)

Hi Mommas! The scale is up 2 pounds today. I'm not sure it's an actual gain tho because 2 days ago I was still maintaining & today my ring doesn't want to fit. I haven't had a gain that has stuck since mid May & while I've been preparing mentally for it to happen, I was hoping it would be a little longer before so. As of…

I definitely agree with these ladies! I think you look great & are doing great. I gained in the beginning to from being on bed rest & depressed about it. And like you I haven't gained since. Keep up the good work. Sounds like the doc is a jerk. None of the midwives I've seen would make me feel that way & I did start out…

I'm hoping to do most of my laboring at home & want to get a comfy, pretty nursing nightgown.

I agree with Kav. Give yourself the holiday but not several days around it. If you prepare yourself for that, mentally, you're likely to enjoy the indulging much more than feeling guilt. Stay tough lady. Keep yourself busy & reach out when you need to. If you ever need someone to help keep you busy, I'm here. Even if we…

Good article. :-) :-) :-) I definitely get tired of defending my choices. I drank more moderately w my almost 2 yo than I have or do this time. But I still have a drink occasionally & don't feel guilty about it.

Thanks for the book advice! I'm definitely going to get it asap!

Well I couldn't wait & weighed myself this morning. So happy to see the same thing! 25 weeks tomorrow & 6lb gain!

Hi Mommas! I would usually weigh in today but I had a kinda big splurge Tuesday so I'm waiting til Sunday/Monday. :-). I'll be 25 weeks Sunday & so far have only been up 6 pounds. :-) Hoping to see the scale around the same number when I get back on.

Are you going to be in Baltimore?

Hi! I'm from Baltimore, MD. My C-section w my daughter was pretty much a nightmare. I'm hoping for a VBAC in Nov. :-). What part of MD are you in?

Hi! Congrats to you!! I'm due Nov 24th & can't wait. :-) good luck at your first appointment!

I agree, unless it's a sister/brother, use it anyway. Picking names was pretty impossible for us first go round, there was no way I wold change it after we agreed & decided.

This time I waited til around 15 weeks except for close family/friends. I'm glad I did. With my daughter I told right away & then had a scare which was awful after having had a miscarriage in the past. I agree to feel it out for what's better for you. :-) Congrats!!

Hi everyone. I'm also in week 24 Arkans. I've definitely been more tired too for a little over a week now. I'm pretty excited to be starting my 6months with only having gained 6lbs. It seems like I've Finally figured out a system that works for me. Looking forward to adding more walks to my life once the weather is less…

Yummy. :-)

Thank you Fly :-). Another pretty happy weekend. Things seem to be moving in the right direction. I really hope it keeps up. :-) :-) :-) I really appreciate everyone's feedback.

Hi! I'm planning a VBAC & found a great doula who is still working on getting certified so her fee was less, $300. I plan on laboring at home as much as possible & while I'd like to think I an go all the way w/o an epidural, I haven't ruled it out. I'm going to have a birth plan ready & she will be there to help see that…

Hi Mommas! I'm hoping for a VBAC in Nov. I met a Doula I love who is working towards her certification so she's way more affordable to us. I've done some research & have been trying to watch my weight as well as prepare my body physically w yoga. I plan to walk more when the weather eases up. I don't do heat. My c-section…

I'm pretty sure the less breastfeeding has to play some part. But I wouldn't beat yourself up about it. If you're still not happy maybe try decreasing your on plan calorie days? I actually had to adjust mine up a little & it seems to be the right match for me. I do 5 days around 1300 cal & 2 days off. I calculated my BMR…

I think you are right, Enediyne. I do want this to work out & the past few days have been better. Trying to work on patience & being supportive. It's just harder to deal w because I'm not used to being pushed away. But I did date women for 10 years so that could be the difference. :-)

Finally got to talk to my midwife yesterday. BP is "gorgeous" & no protein in my urine so she believes they are hormone related too. It's been almost 2 weeks since last one so hopefully it's over! Lol

Hi. I'm gonna try to cover all the questions w one reply. Yes I am sure he's at the bar. Doubting that would be an entire different issue that I would not tolerate-at all. I know he struggles w depression & right now I do think he's having a hard time w it more because he's so unhappy at work. I don't really mind the going…

I'm sorry that you're dealing w stress in your pregnancy. I don't have any personal experience w the test myself but I'm happy to hear the counselor feels positive. I hear ya on the margarita!

We used to do date night once a week until I stopped drinking. Now it's pretty rare. I kinda get pissed hearing he doesn't have money for a movie or dinner because I know he's spent more than a fair amount on himself at the bar. Yes he works but he doesn't want me to work outside the house. It's really unfair that I get a…
