Yes, very sick. No throwing up, just 24 hr nausea. I think I'm up because I'm super constipated (sorry about the TMI). With my ds I had no MS so this is all new to me! I weighed in this week and was up 1 (total of 2 pound weight gain). But went to the Dr. yesterday and was up 2. Granted I was clothed and it was late…

Had my 1st appt yesterday! Got to see our litle "sea horse" and the HB was strong! Yipee! After our MC last July I've been super nervous! This pregnancy is so different from my first. Question, how much weight did you gain the first tri? I'm up 4 pounds give or take 2 and I'm 8 wks

WOW! HOT HOT HOT! Way to go! This gives me motivation to go work out now. Congrads!!!!!

O M G! That is NOT the same girl! You pour confidence! Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing! :)

Hello everyone! It's been awhile, I was just reading to catch up. Sorry I've been MIA. We found out the end of June that the baby had passed and I had to have a D&C. So I took some time off from dieting and eat the crap out of my feelings! Now I'm trying to get back on track. So here I am ready to start all over again!

What is your sodium intake set at? I lowered mine to 1500 and really having a hard time not going over. Also, anyone got some advice for this bloat I've got going on? I'm 9 weeks and people think I'm 9 MONTHS!

You look great and don't worry about 3 pounds. You are doing great and 15 pounds is not much. With my first I gained 50! And I really eat well. My Dr. said that some people you can work out and eat awesome and still gain 50 pounds which was my case! Keep up the good work!

Weigh in today was 138, up 1. But that's not to bad. I haven't gain anything so far and I'm 7 weeks so I'll take that. At this time with Kayden I was already up 5 so I can't complain!

Question- I know that I have to increase to 300 cals in the 1st tri. I was at 1200, so should I increase to 1600? I set it at 2000 cause I was not sure. How do I find out what I need to maintain? I looked through the site and don't see anything. I'm having a hard time hitting 2000 cals per day. Also, does anyone else…

It's been a while, but I'm down 3. I was down to 136 but I keep going between 136-138. I just found out I'm having another baby! YAY! Due Feb. 1st 2011! Anyway, does anyone know how many calories to eat when preggo? Just trying to eat healthy and watch it. I'm still not at my pre preggo weight from my first so I want to…

Maybe I misunderstoond. I thought that sleeping was not the issue, It was sleeping in? Do you get good restful sleep during the week? I would not use melatonin or valerian root unless you were having trouble everyday.

I'm still 142. I took the weekend off, ate whatever. It was Kayden's 2nd b day I knew that I just had way to much to do to worry about logging. So I ate like a COW and the scale today is the same. I work out and count everything, I weigh 142. I pig out, I weigh 142. What gives?

I am a Clinical Supervisor at a sleep center, I think I can help! Ok, so every has a sleep rhythm. If you go to bed and get up 5 days a week at pretty much the same time, your body does not know that it's saturday and you want to sleep in. And you WANT that! Once you start messing with your sleep clock it cause cause many…

Yeah, I'm pretty lucky I didn't have that. Why did you have to get it? What was your BP at? I think I was 170/100 maybe even higher. But I think once at the hospital it dropped a little. Once I had the epi it was really low. Plus my labor was so fast so maybe that helped to. I'm sorry you slept so much! Did you BP go back…

Folic acid is SUPER important if you are TTC. A lack of it causes neuro tube defects in babies. And by the time you find out you're preggo it can be to late since the neuro tube is the first thing that develops. (I have a degree in Neurology.) So it's always a good idea to have lots of it in your system just in case. You…

Stayed the same. What's new? I can't get this scale to move for the life of me! URGH!

Sorry, I just saw your post. I have lost all but 10. I'm 5'6 and was 131 the day I found out I was preggo. Today I'm 141 and Kayden will be 2 on the 16th. Can't get past this last 10 for the life of me!!! :) I'm kinda at the point where I'm a healthy weight, maybe God wants me at this size! I was diagnosed with pre e at 37…

Oh, I'm so gonna try this the next time! We are going to start trying pretty soon. I to was very swollen and had gained a lot of weight from the pre -e. It's nice to see someone who's been there. I didn't know anyone at the time! Good luck with everything!

Towards Sheboygan, sorry! But kinda fun to see all of the "PAC" fans on here and where everyone is from! GO WI!!!!!:laugh:

I would love to join! Going to TTC in May/June and still have 10 to go! Great! I'm sooooo excited!

Thanks for the input. I'm really not looking for advice, just wanted others to share their story if they have used this site while pregnant. I have an appt with my OB to talk about some things because I'm high risk. I just wanted to see what others were doing. :wink:

Bump thanks!! :)

"Also, because I'd want someone to tell me if I were making this kind of mistake on a regular basis, the word you're after is lose. You're accidentally using loose. Lose means to misplace or get rid of. Loose means not tight, fastened or restrained. As in, after you lose the weight, your clothes may be loose. " LOL! Sorry!…

What she explained to me was for someone who is technically at a healthy weight (I'm 5'6 and 140) 1200 calories is not enough to loose that last 10. She said that my body is in starvation mode. She wants me to eat 1600-1700 calories AND eat all of calories back from working out (burn 500 calories so 1600+500=2100). I…

Thanks! I hope it works! :)

I am eating my working out calories. So like yesterday when I went to spin and my HR monitor said 540 (YEA!) I ate 1740 calories. My question is, BEFORE exercise the other sites I saw said that my base is like 1400 calories per day to loose 1 pound a week?

And this is working for you? I'm not getting anywhere and I've been at this since summer! I am eating my calories when I work out. I guess I'm just wondering what else I can do. I've hired a trainer so I hope that helps.
