  • Hi, I had my 4th baby almost 4 weeks ago. I started out overweight and gained a ton on this pregnancy ( 60ish). I am breast feeding and pumping, but have struggled with a low supply the entire time, but hopeful I can build it up still. I have a bunch of weight to lose as Ive only lost 21 lbs so far. Looking for a bigger…
  • I lost 20 lbs in the first 2 weeks, but I wanted to comment on the fluid retention it sounds like you have. I was so swollen to the point my feet looked like balloons that were going to pop anytime and it was hard to walk after my daughter was born. It took about 2 weeks for the feet and ankle swelling to go away, but now…

  • I third ehg87, I am 39 +5 right now and my little one had slowed down a lot, even to the point that I can get a little more sleep right now. It freaks me out sometimes, so I lay on my side also and eat something or drink water and sure enough she starts moving, but the big movements are gone, just little kicks and…
  • I have been controlling my GD with diet. This is my first time having it and its my 4th pregnancy. I do not have PCOS. I really, REALLY did not want to start insulin so my dr was great about letting me come up with my own diet based on her suggestions. This is what I found: I can not eat bread, high sugar fruit like…
  • I also take 1/2 a unisom at night. My OB says it is completely safe. I know some others on here who are pregnant have mentioned tylenol PM, and their OB approved it. Good luck, I think this will help you though, I got SO exhausted last week from lack of sleep that I cried for 2 whole days, running on 2 hours of sleep a…
  • Oh Im so glad the baby is ok!!! Hugs! That must have been torture for you waiting all weekend! I have not had that, but I have heard of it. Always seek out a second opinion if you do not think your Dr is taking it seriously enough.

  • impanda- you are an ANGEL! Thank you! I know you are right! My fear of weight is taking over my everything! I want to cherish this time SO BAD!!!! And I know I need to I agree.....never before did I hear of maintaining weight before MFP. It is like looking at air-brushed pictures of swim suit models and comparing myself to…
  • Thank you for starting this conversation. I have spent the last 24 hours crying and feeing very very down about what my body is doing with this pregnancy. This is my 4th pregnancy. But its been 10 years since my last pregnancy. I have a 17 yr old, 15 yr old and 10 yr old. I was a healthy weight with all 3 previous…
  • We found out we are having our 3rd daughter in May! Our short list is ELLA, ISABELLA, and LILLIAN.
  • WOW! Thats great! Everyone seems to be doing SO well! Im hoping to maintain this month as well, I have had a bad start with 23lbs in 20 weeks!
  • Philly- I dont know if your friends with P-Rex, but she just posted this awesome resourse about the composition of pregnancy weight. This is the best chart/explanation I have seen yet. Maybe this will help with your questions.....:smile: http://www.easybabylife.com/weight-gain-during-pregnancy.html I think this is a great…
  • I will have to agree that my bladder is sure getting a work out! Im peeing 3-5 TIMES a night! and I was having a hard time falling back to sleep until this last week when I started doing much more cardio than before. I dont know if thats why, but it is helping me stay motivated if just to sleep! :smile:
  • Hi June Mommies! Ive been MIA on this discussion lately too, sorry about that. I read A LOT but have not been commenting much lately. Here is my update: This is my 4th baby ( but its been 10 years since my last) YIKES! I am showing BIG TIME! All my tiredness and nausea seem to be gone so I am finally back into the swing of…
  • This is my 4th pregnancy. I gained 65 on the first 45 on the second and 80 on the third. Dont be like I was! Now finally on my 4th I am logging my calories, eating healthier than ever and still exerciseing. Try checking out the "fit and pregnant" groups. Everyone is prego or just had a baby and we are all tracking,…
  • Glad to be "hopefully" past the nausea stage. I have had a rough couple weeks with norovirus sweeping through our house ( me , hubby, and all 3 kids..one by one!) Then I picked up some kind of headcold/fever crappy thing. Im finally starting to feel better. I have not noticed nausea in at least a week. ( 15w1d) We finally…
  • I am 38 also! My Dr did the same to me, and me and hubs left the dr office feeling like we should be entering the guiness book of world records for oldest couple to be crazy enough to conceive or something! Lol! And we got the same scary percent told to us of miscarriage. I was totally freaked out until I got past the 1st…
  • Im down! I want to walk 5x week for at least 30 min, stick to my calorie goal, and cut way back on processed foods.
  • ***** pregnancy brain, I replied to the quote wrong, so here I try again************* First, thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! You are right, we do need to focus on being pregnant and healthy. And, congratulations on your awesome weight loss this last year! WOW! As far as you not getting on the scale,…
  • quote:To show you how much I need to take my own advice and that I'm not up on some high horse about this, I will admit that I am afraid to get on the scale because I am afraid of what it will show! I am thinking I have gained upwards of 10#, if not more, just based on the fact that I am eating more in general, plus a lot…
