28weeks 4days and at +8.4 lbs so far!

http://www.baby2see.com/pregnancy_weight_calculator.html

My first child (son) I gained 60 lbs. I was so unhealthy and gained throughout the entire pregnancy, no trimester really trumped the other as far as weight gain. This pregnancy (also a boy) I've gained 7 lbs so far at 28weeks. I didn't end up gaining until I was about 20-22 weeks and it's slowly been sticking. I've just…

This is good stuff. I am 28 weeks and was diagnosed last week with GD. I go to a counselor in a few days to discuss my diet. I've been very stricked with my diet the whole pregnancy, only gaining 8lbs so far, so my doctor and i were very shocked that my body was having such a hard time breaking down sugar. My sugar comes…

LOL! I don't even know! I'll check when I get home. :)

Both my boys have always had 150-160 heart rate, which does not go along with the whole wives tale thing. BUT I have carried them both VERY low the entire pregnancy, which DOES go along with a different wives tale :)

I'd get no sleep without my body pillow! I have a Boppy Body Pillow somewhere from my first pregnancy, and I did like it, but since then my husband and I got each other body pillows one Christmas, I've just been using that, along with my two other pillows. I toss and turn all night and my body pillows goes with me. My hip…

Both obum88 and nursenikki are great pregnant MFPs to have for support! You can add me as well! 26weeks 3days with boy #2 :)

bump!

26 weeks 2 days +8lbs So odd because I feel and look like I've gained so much more. I almost feel like my scale is lying to me! Doctor's appointment this Thursday, so we'll see what that scale says!

I happen to have Celiac Disease and have to stay away from gluten. But I agree with a few of these folks in saying that neither of these are aimed for "weight loss" par say, but good to look at if you want to reevaluate your lifestyle. I highly recommend eating as clean as possible, keeping your calorie intake to great…

Sounds great to me!! I'm right there with you about being a "happier" person. I feel like over all i'm usually happy, but with all of these issues that keep coming up with my health throughout this pregnancy, i've become internally more bitter. Like you, not good for my marriage or my 3yr old. I keep most of it to myself,…

I agree, I didn't gain until about 20 weeks. Gained 7lbs so far and I'm 25 weeks. So it came on rather quickly! My goal is to keep it under 25lbs.

I'm in my 25th week. Due to contractions, my doctor doesn't even want me to exercise. I will walk some, but activity starts up the contractions. So I'm really preparing by eating right and taking care of me. Doing good stretches in the morning and at night (which help with the back aches)

My first pregnancy was a breeze! Pretty much 0 morning sickness, and I ate whatever I wanted. Now I ended up gaining about 55lbs, which didn't come off for 2+ years, but the pregnancy was easy peasy. THIS pregnancy however has been trouble from the get go: Started with major pain in my gut, after two days of it my husband…

You could check out my diary, but i'm a fairy repetitious eater, so I can just tell you a few of them: 1.) 1-2 cup fresh spinach, 1 cup cut up strawberries, 3-4oz of meat (usually chicken or crab), top with a sweet onion vinegarette. If you want more protein add an ounce of walnuts. 2.) 1/2 acorn squash with 1tbs of butter…

Thanks Jacc! No bedrest was NO fun, luckily i'm off it for now, but still having to live a very sedentary lifestyle do to the contractions (which are about 2-3 an hour now unless I have a stressful day, like yesterday i was having 6-7 an hour). I saw on another thread that you have started to gain weight finally with the…

I'm with you on the appetite issue! I didn't have an appetite until about 19-20 weeks as well! 23 weeks: +5lbs

This isn't a comment so much of "what not to say" but more "what not to do" to a pregnant woman: I have to say how shocked I am that I'm already getting complete strangers come up and TOUCH MY BELLY!!?? So I was in Barns & Noble the other day and this lady came up to me and put her hand right on my belly and said "Oh you…

Seriously didn't know there were this many pregnant ladies on MFP!! Love it! Wish I knew about this thread sooner!! I'm pregnant with my second, due May 12th. It's a boy, Peyton Lee, whom I affectionately call Mr. Pie :) My first son is 3yrs and is so excited to be a big brother! This pregnancy has been rough, being put on…

Feel free to add me as well. I'm 22w3d and am in the same boat of wanting to track my weight and food. It's always good to have others in your situation to support you along the way!!

True about the fumes killing birds... but I honestly think your issue here isn't with the "industry" but more so with the lack of caffeine while cooking.

we got rid of our teflon pans after learning about how toxic they were and how having a bird in the house while cooking with them will actually kill the bird. Yeah, not something I want with children in the house. as far as keeping your stainless clean, we use Barkeeper's Friend. and I clean them once a month with it. You…

= Amazing! LOL

I'm 22 weeks with my second. I gained about 55lbs (not counting baby, etc) during my first pregnancy and am determined not to do that to my body again this time! I've gained a little more than 5lbs so far and am hoping to keep it under 20lbs but will be fine with 25lbs. I've had trouble with appetite. So often I feel like…

I find it so interesting how different people with celiac respond so differently when being contaminated! I have a friend who breaks out in hives! Once I'm contaminated, you can set your watch because in 20 minutes I'm in the nearest bathroom getting rid of whatever i just ate, and in anyway possible :sick: My joints and…

you can always jump on to my profile and check out my food diary. Though, I am quite the repetitive eater :)

Same here! I'm also celiac (gluten free) and let people know that if they need ideas to just look at my diary and see what I'm eating. I'd love to help others if I can. Also helps to keep me accountable as I lead by example :)

Awesome! Thanks! Downloading it now!
