Hello everyone! I'm so happy to finally be joining this group! :) This is my second baby and this time around I'm proud to say that I stuck to my initial goal of gaining 15-25 lbs throughout my entire pregnancy. Baby boy was born on October 22 at 7lbs11oz. I've got just over 6 lbs to go until I get to my prepregnancy…

^sorry for the awkward grammar. Clearly I need to sleep and proof read spell check a little better....

Congratulations @nwright612!! So glad to hear that things were dealt with before real problems arose! :) We has news too! We thought my water broke at 4am on wednesday, but we couldn't tell for sure since there was only a small bit and walking up and down the stairs, lunges, and squats produced nothing more to confirm. The…

I lost just over 20 lbs with my first but the last 30 were stubborn as well even though I was breastfeeding exclusively. Once supply was well established I stopped counting the extra 300 calories burned by breastfeeding to my day and i started using my food scale and things started moving again. Slowly, but they did start…

@sarieth05 Braxton Hicks are difficult to notice, especially during first pregnancies. I never noticed I was having them until my mom touched my stomach and was like, "you're having a contraction!" You're likely having a couple here or there already. :) Yesterday I thought we were going to be headed to the hospital because…

Congratulations Rosie! Enjoy that little one! :) this is too bad about the epidural. Hopefully everything is going well now!

@RosieRaz keep us updated when baby is born! So exciting that baby is pretty well here!! @nwright612 that's good they ruled out preeclampsia. Hopefully everything will stay in the all clear until baby is here! :) I'm string to think that baby is finally starting to get eviction messages! My hair and skin are going back to…

It was scary for sure. I posted an update to my wall. Basically I spent some time in the ER due to sudden vision changes, headaches, numbness, etc., but my blood pressure was fine so they weren't too concerned with pre eclampsia (what my symptoms looked like) when that happened. Sounds like that's what they're worried…

I woke up this morning with a pounding headache and I couldn't string my sentences together properly. Eventually the conusion faded away but I still couldn't type the right words into my phone. My sister in law picked up my daughter and I took a nap which helped immensely. Called my new OB but they didn't seem to care…

My first baby was 9lb5oz and I thought my labour was fine. I'd be surprised if this little guy is any lless than an 8 pounder. (They're talking an earlier induction do to insulin etc.) My mom tells me her biggest baby (me - 9lbs8oz) was her easiest delivery because I carried my weight in length rather than chubs. Maybe…

Sarieth - haha! That would be a sight to see! Poor baby! :) maybe just hope for a lovely head of hair? ;) we do seem to be opposites! I had originally thought my due date was Nov 6th and it was difficult to make the switch to telling people that baby was due in October! If baby comes in November too then I can tell people…
-
Helen - that's great your family is all settling in great! :) I hope your recovery continues to go smoothly! Sarieth - you're nearly full term! Yay! Sounds like you're pretty prepared! I had crazy heartburn too last time and I found limiting bread to be the best way to go. They say lots of heartburn means lots of hair for…

Congratulations Poke!! So glad to hear that everything is going well! And 25 lbs down in 2.5 weeks sounds like a dream to me! :) keep us updated on how things are going! Rosie, the diabetes is caused by the hormones released by the placenta interfering with insulin production, so as soon as the placenta is gone so is the…

That's frustrating Rosie. :( the good news is that the doctors with lousy bedside manner are often times excellent surgeons. They have to keep their jobs somehow. I've still got 3.5 to go. WHAT?! LOL, sorry I didn't realize it was that close!! I have it in my head that I've got 5 weeks to go (counting on being overdue)...…

Worry = every autocorrect. Sorry.

@katiebrew nailed it. I've been walking worry day (but I wasn't much more active before) and logging everything no matter how awful it looked that I drank coffee, ate processed food, or ordered takeout while pregnant. I do wish I'd kept up with my workout video that focuses on arms and glutes. But overall, my goals have…
-
@RosieRaz I have a friend whose daughter acted like a dog too. Turns out she just loved dogs and playing pretend. She grew out of it on her own thankfully, but I'm sure it's frustrating! I've packed baby's bag, but I haven't gotten around to mi e since I'm planning on still wearing maternity clothes in the hospital and I'm…

These practice contractions are just getting more and more real feeling... hoping to not have baby just yet! I have a room to paint!! In other news, I haven't been able to get my fasting sugar numbers in line and so I'm meeting with a dietitian on Friday. So glad I found out I have GD as I feel absolutely amazing when I'm…

Congratulations Katie! She sounds so perfect! I can't wait for my turn! :) don't worry too much about the tofu recipe. Tofu isn't really my thing... and you're busy with a newborn I'm sure! Perfect baby or not, babies do seem to claim a lot of attention ;) Sarieth, totally normal to be anxious at this point. I'm at 35…

That's a really good idea, and I totally agree on the whole "rewarding" thing. I bought some truvia and I just need to put it to use. I have to figure out the conversion first though. Thanks! :)
-
Wow, a new puppy! How fun! :) I'm sure your 2 yo is over the moon about that! It will be busy for sure (as I'm sure you already know), but you'll manage just fine I'll bet. So exciting that you have a temp replacement all set in place! I guess that means we're near the end then, eh? I find it interesting that you have to…

It's been quiet here recently. Any more babies born or are we all suddenly realizing how close close we are to the end and running around like a bunch of crazies trying to get everything done? ;) How is everyone doing? Ready to be done and meet the little one(s) already!? My next appointment is tomorrow at 34w5d. I'm a…

That is fantastic!! Wtg keeping your weight in check! Enjoy those baby snuggles tomorrow for me! I will be at the post-partum pack within the next 6 weeks or so, so don't leave before I can come! ;)
