  • I'm in my 14th week and have already gained 8-9 pounds. My doctor told me to try and maintain for a couple of weeks. So I will try and maintain. I was wondering, if I was at a 1200 calories before and was losing around 1-2 pounds a week, if MFP put my calories too high for maintenance, it says 2200 calories to maintain,…
  • Great to hear! I guess I was typing at the same time as you! :)
  • I just want to let you know, you should get checked but at the beginning of my pregnancy, my hubby and I were intimate and I started spotting, the Dr. told me it is perfectly normal to spot after having sex. Afterwards, I told my husband he isn't touching me until the 2nd trimester! Not taking any chances. So far so good,…
  • Our first one we didn't want to know if it was a boy or girl, it really didn't matter. This time, I want to get the room prepared and myself prepared because this will be our last one. Plus, a head's up for my son will help too, he really wants a boy, so if it's a girl, this will give me the chance to get him prepared for…
  • @ snowgrr : Yeah! I can't wait, the countdown to finding out if it's a girl or a boy has started. Hum, I think this is going to be a very long 5 weeks!! As long as the baby's healthy, I was so happy to hear the heartbeat, at first it took the doctor some time to find it but he found it. Scared me for a few minutes but that…
  • I had the baby's heartbeat done with a doppler today at my 14 weeks appointment, and he said the heartbeat is 170!! I guess it's pretty high, the doctor said it's normal, specially this early in a pregnancy. Wonder if it's a girl? Some myths say that if the heartbeat is low it's a boy and when the heartbeat is high, it's a…
  • Yay!! a boy! Congratulations! Did you have a feeling it was going to be a boy? I can't wait to find out if I'm going to have a boy or a girl! My son is completly convinced it's a boy, that I am believing it's going to be a boy too, we will see!
  • Yes, orange, I like orange the best but it's really sweet!
  • Hi! I'm moving from the 1st trimester board. I will be 14 weeks in 3 days, some say you are in your second trimester in your 12th week, others say in your 13th week and sometimes some say in your 14th week. I just couldn't wait any longer!! Happy to be here. Went for an ultrasound in my 11th week, everything was great.…
  • Wow, I leave to go camping for a week and come back to realize there are lots of new pregnancies. Congrats to all! I will be 14 weeks in 3 days, so I will see you all in the 2nd trimester board! See you soon, good luck to all!
  • So glad everything worked out for you and the baby! I am with you on that, no heavy exercise for me after my last miscarriage, I am walking and swimming though, which are good for you when you are pregnant but as soon as I feel tired or have cramps, I go straight to bed and relax. I would like to add prenatal yoga, I just…
  • lou_ann and cocolo - see you soon in the 2nd trimester board! Can't wait, hopefully by then the tiredness and nausea will stop. BTW, how many weeks is it for 2nd trimester, I heard some people say 12 weeks others say 13 others say 14 weeks. Which one is it? lilchino - let us know how it goes on Friday! It's pretty amazing,…
  • JillSandm - sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. Hang in there and think positively. Rachypompa - I had a miscarriage last September because I was excessively working out and spotting alot. This time around I am only walking, I am not taking any chance. Update on me and baby - Well, I finally went for an…
  • Where do you buy these dopplers and where do you rent them? And what kind did you get that you were able to hear the heartbeat at 9 weeks. I would really need assurance, my first ultrasound is on Monday July 16th and I will be 11 weeks the next day, on that Tuesday. My waist has been widening, I am really tired and feel…
  • So discouraged today, found out my ultrasound will only be on July 16th, that means I have to wait even longer to find out if the baby even has a heartbeat, I will be11 weeks pregnant by that time. :( I don't want to tell anyone until I see or hear a heartbeat and it's getting harder to not tell people I am pregnant. We…
  • So you are 7 weeks pregnant right now? And you were able to see the baby and the heartbeat? I am going for an ultrasound this week for the first time and I am 9 weeks, just wondering what to expect to see at the ultrasound, I wasn't sure if I would be able to see the heartbeat at 9 weeks. I am so nervous. at * bkay30 - you…
  • For my first one, we told everyone right away because I was 3 months pregnant when I found out I was having a baby. This one, as soon as we found out, we told my mom and mil and my best friend, this was at around 5 weeks. We are waiting to hear the baby's heartbeat on ultrasound before we tell anyone else. My apt. is only…
  • Wow, this is really cool. I can't wait to be on the list but I am only due February 5th, still have a long way to go!
  • Last pregnancy, I craved Subway subs and milk (which is strange cause I hate milk, I guess it was my body telling me I needed calcium), I gained 23 lbs for that pregnancy. This one, I am craving ice cream and reeses peanut butter cups, so far I have gained already 3-4lbs and I am only at 8 weeks and 3 days!
  • Hi! I am going on my 9 weeks soon with lots of pregnancy symptoms, heartburn, nausea, tiredness, this last one being the worse. I sleep all the time, I am thankful I am on holidays during the summer, planning on taking care of me and the baby. Plus, I gained 4 pounds already. Planning on eating healthy and adding some…

  • Thanks for all your advice. It's been awhile, I was looking into baby stuff, everything changed since I was pregnant 13 years ago! I am having lots of food aversions and food cravings. The result is I am not staying within my calorie intake of 1200 calories a day. :(
