  • I've just started a prenatal work out that has modified planking in it so that your on your knees. This workout is supposed to be for the 2nd trimester and is supposed to be safe. I thought you were told by your doctor to avoid exercise? I think walking would really just be your safest bet. No matter what I would follow…
  • I am currently 20 weeks with babies #2 and #3. Identical twins, I was due in April but I will be induced mid March if double trouble don't decide to arrive early. Have my 20 week scan next Tuesday, hoping to find out we have two healthy little babies and hoping we can finally see what team we're on.
  • Well with the nausea/extreme tiredness and renovating a new house with no working kitchen my first trimester didn't go the way I wanted to. I have now gained back control as the cravings have settled and my food aversions seem to be gone now and I am now eating healthier again. So the last 2 weeks I have gained .4 pound,…
  • I'm a second time mom and my little girl is 2. I'll be finishing up my first trimester this coming Sunday and so far I have gained 11.4 pounds but we found out we're pregnant with twins at an early 8 week scan. I have my dating scan today to see how they are both doing and find out what kind they are. So excited and…
  • I'm returning after a miscarriage in May. Got our new bfp at the end of July and we're due at the beginning of April with Twins per our early 8 week scan. Anxiously awaiting my 12 week scan that I don't have a date for yet but have a booking appt tomorrow and a consultant appointment on Tuesday at the twins clinic so…
  • Water retention is already killing me this time around again. So far I'm 9 weeks today and the scale has been bouncing all over the place but today's weigh in makes me at a gain of 4.4 pounds. Honestly think half of that is water weight. We found out on Wednesday though that we're having twins so expecting to gain more now…
  • I had an early ultra sound on Wednesday also after an early loss in May. Everything looks lovely, seen heartbeats and we're having twins. Edd now moved to April 5th but twins do go to normal term so looks like our babies will probably be March babies now!
  • Do what you can but get as much rest as possible too. I'm finding the ms is much worse if I haven't slept well and am tired so as much as you want to push yourself and keep moving, sometimes more rest may also be more beneficial. My ms was awful starting at 5 weeks and after a week it starting calming down just a bit…
  • Just finally getting around to joining this thread. Just hit 6 weeks yesterday so still very early in my pregnancy. Had trouble eating properly last week due to extreme nausea but it seems to be getting a bit better and a little easier for me. Already managed to gain 3 or 4 pounds of water weight lol, hoping that that…
  • Thank you so much for all your advice. Just tried grilled cheese and tomato soup tonight and it's gone down well so far, forgot I liked it lol. Will definitely try any thing and everything at this point, glad that the nausea part is normally the shortest part of pregnancy.
  • EDD April 9th here with our second.
  • Congratulations Krysti, I'm just 5 week pregnant and due on the 9th of April. This will be our second baby.
  • I'm due at the end of December. So excited to have our second and last baby. Only ever wanted two so I'm sticking to it. My calories are still hoovering around maintenance and I'm keeping myself walking even if I am tired. So far I'm still losing but I'm just at the beginning of my pregnancy. Here's to us all having happy…
  • I'm 5 weeks along now and just weighed in this am at 208.8 lbs and I'm only 5'3''. I've managed to lose 39 pounds since January but am still 'Obese'. I've lost 2.6 pounds since I found out I was pregnant last week. I'm trying to eat maintenance calories but between nausea and not wanting to stuff myself too full I'm having…
  • Hi, I'm due on December 29th with my second.
  • Peppermint tea or peppermint hard candies seem to help me.
