I am 5'4" Pre-Preg: 113lbs Total Weight Gain: 18lbs Gave birth on 8/19/14 so almost 5 months PP Current Weight: Around 109-110lbs - (down to 114lbs 2 weeks after having baby) I stayed very active during my pregnancy, so I really believe that's what helped me to not gain very much at all. Doctor was very pleased with my…

Great info! I'm going to try and take daily easy walks with my baby girl in her Bjorn, did that today and she loved it and it felt really nice for me as well. Running was pretty much my life before pregnancy, and I'm itching to get back to it, but don't want to push it with my hip, so just going to try and take it easy.…

Thanks! I was really surprised with how fast the weight came off, wasn't expecting that at all. But I think since I stayed relatively active (worked out about 5x/week up until my due date) really helped my body to bounce back. Also, since this was my first pregnancy that may have made a difference, not sure?? Now, I'm just…

Pre-pregnancy weight: 113lb. at 5'4 height, small frame. Delivered my first baby on August 19th (40w/1d) and weighed right at 131lb. So a total gain of 18lbs. Today I went to the doctor for a checkup, at 2 weeks/2 days post-pregnancy my weight is 114.4lbs! Pretty happy about it! Especially since I've been taking it really…

My starting weight was 113lb at 5'4 height. My weight gain has remained pretty consistent in the later portion of my 3rd tri: 28 weeks: 128 30 weeks: 129 32 weeks: 128 34 weeks: 130 36 weeks: 129.6 37w/2d: 129.6 38w/1d: 132 39w: 131.4 So as of now, weight gain of approximately 18.4lbs! Doctor's are happy with weight gain,…

I'm currently pregnant (38w/3d!) and have used MFP throughout the entire pregnancy just to track my nutrients each day, not used to diet or lose by no means! So far I've gained 19lbs. (small frame - 5'4 height, 113lb. PP) - the majority was during my second trimester, I hardly gained in the first and have been pretty…

I used the Gabrialla Elastic Maternity Support Belt in medium support and it was really great! Used it on elliptical and when I was still able to run. However, now that I'm nearing the end of my pregnancy, it's a bit too snug and just squishes my belly and doesn't really support, but I didn't want to order the largest size…

You know, I'm not sure why the nurse even made the comment to induce. Basically she said they could induce me at 39 weeks if I wanted them to (which surprised me because I thought inducing was only necessary if there was something wrong or if I go over 40 weeks). I guess she was implying if I was uncomfortable/tired of…

Thanks for all of the responses! After seeing the doctor yesterday, I'm still at 1cm, but barely even that (according to a new doctor who checked me). He seemed to think the baby while come around my due date or a little later. One of the nurses mentioned that they could induce me anytime after I'm 39 weeks, if I wanted to…

Hi! I've been mainly pescatarian for the last 11 years or so. Being pregnant (38w/1day - yipeee!), I had to cut out fish that is likely to contain mercury. So now I eat canned light tuna (made from skipjack, not high in mercury), tilapia, salmon, mahi mahi (in moderation). But they even say to watch your consumption on…

You can add me -- currently pregnant though (due in roughly 2 weeks!!), so food choices are pretty random right now! hehe

Well, I'm 5'4 and currently pregnant (due Aug. 18th, yipeeee!) and pre-pregnancy I was right at 113lb. - currently I'm at 129.6lb. So, a pretty healthy weight gain and I'm hoping to be able to lose what I put on and be back at my original weight of about 113lb. or so, would like 110lb. and was around that weight when I was…

I'm in my third Tri and haven't really gained much either. My starting weight was 113lb at 5'4 height. My weight gain has remained pretty consistent in the later portion of my 3rd tri: 28 weeks: 128 30 weeks: 129 32 weeks: 128 34 weeks: 130 36 weeks: 129.6 37w/2d (dr. appointment yesterday): 129.6 I was worried a little…

I'm due Aug. 18th...three weeks away!! It's getting so exciting and real now! Last Friday I went to the doctor and she said I was dilated a fingertip, which is exciting, but she said that doesn't mean the baby will be early or anything...body is just getting ready for our baby girl's arrival! Sleep has been hard for me,…

I started out at 113lbs now around 131ish at 36w/3d. I gained pretty steadily throughout my pregnancy with the help of exercise and eating pretty healthy (with the sweet treats here and there for sure!). Walking is a great form of exercise and will definitely help your muscles stay engaged and will probably help curb your…

A warm bath sounds lovely!! I need to try that before bed tonight and see if it helps! And yes, not much longer now, about 25ish days to go! I can do it, I can do it! :)

Thanks ladies! I was thinking I could hold off on a body pillow. So far, I've been sleeping with two thick pillows behind my head and then one between my legs, but maybe a body pillow may help with comfort? Not sure....at this point I feel like I should just grin and bare it, especially considering I don't have much longer…

Starting weight: 113 at 5'4 Current weight: 131 at 36w/1d Total gain so far: 18lbs. -- expecting to gain roughly 1lb. a week until our baby girl is here! So, will probably end up at around a 22lb. total weight gain or so. Been trying to eat relatively healthy and exercising throughout the pregnancy (well, with the…

Thought I would update my info. on this thread. Pre-pregnancy weight: 113lb at 5'4 height. Just left the doctor's appointment today - 35w/4d and my weight is 130.8lbs. So, I've gained roughly 17.8lbs., which I'm happy with. They also did an ultrasound today, baby weighs 5lb. 3oz! Fundal height is still about 1.5weeks…

Awh, my husband is the last in his family to carry the name as well! I think he was secretly hoping for a little boy, but we're having a little girl! This is our first, so I'm sure we will give it another try or two! Hope your gender reveal goes well!! :happy:

I didn't really suffer from morning sickness/nausea during my pregnancy, but when I found myself feeling a little quesy, I liked soups a lot! Homemade soups and stews, that is. I'm mainly a pescatarian, but have been trying to incorporate chicken since I've been pregnant (to please my hubby, since he doesn't understand…

Congrats!! I'm also a first time mom, due August 18th (getting close)!! For me, I just tried to focus on eating healthy, but also giving in to my cravings here and there. Before becoming pregnant, I ate pretty healthy and exercised a lot (mainly running, which I can't do anymore). So, I've still tried to maintain that…

Great advice, ladies! Thank you so much! I actually ended up making an appointment for July 9th (will be out of town the majority of next week, so had to push it back one more week) - I'm excited about it and hope it will help with this pain, it's just so annoying! Found out my insurance covers a good bit of it too, which…

Starting weight: 113lb.- 5'4 - 26 years old. Had another appointment last week at 31w/3d and weighed a little less at this appointment than I did at the previous appointment 3 weeks prior! 3 weeks prior I weighed 128.7, then at the appointment I had this past Thursday I weighted 127.5, which kind of scared me. But, the…

I was an avid runner pre-pregnancy and ran my first Full a few months before becoming pregnant, I was actually planning to run another Full at 16 weeks, but dropped down to the Half instead, just to be on the safe side. I felt great running the Half and ran it in a pretty good time at around 1:50 - I did notice my stamina…

Starting weight: 113lb. 5'4 height -- currently I'm 30w/2d and weigh right at 129.5 - so an overall gain so far of about 16.5lbs. I seem to be gaining right at .5 or 1lb. a week, so I'm beating I'll gain another 9 or 10 pounds before our first baby girl is here. I've been pretty happy with the weight gain and so is my…

I experienced that really bad right around 25 weeks. My left hip/groin/pelvis/inner thigh tendon was in tremendous pain after a 5 mile run! Had to take about 3 weeks off of running. Now I'm at 28w/3d and gave it a go on the TM, got in 3.1 miles, but still having hip/pelvis pain. I talked to my doctor too and she said it's…

Feel free to add me as well!

Thanks!! I'm trying really hard to stay hydrated, so I don't think that would be it? My due date should be pretty accurate, but maybe it's off by a week? My doctor hasn't mentioned that might be the reason. My doctor doesn't seem concerned, I'm just eager now to have my next ultrasounds (in 5 weeks, ugh!) to see how my…
