I had my little one in January and have lost 29 of the 30 lbs I gained with her. I'm hoping to lose another 5 after that so 6 total. Originally I had hoped to lose all pregnancy weight by September 1st and now that I'm close I'd love to lose the other 5 too. I go back to work in September and (as vain as it is) would love…

Hello ladies! I'm around every once in a while. Olive is 4 months now too. I've lost 25/30 pregnancy lbs but having a tough time with the last five. I'm hoping to lose 5 more after that so I think I'm going to start logging again soon. O is growing like a weed and we've been lucky so far with no major colic or anything

Yay baby Noah! It's funny how the things we plan for never seem to work out but i'm glad he was healthy! I hope you're both doing well :)
-
Congrats on baby Zara! And wow on the weight loss! You're really knocking it out of the park. Hope you both are doing well :)

Currently 9 days postpartum and down to 143.5 from 160 for a total of 16.5 lbs lost. So a little over half way :) I've been breastfeeding and not logging but have noticed that my appetite is closer to what it was pre-pregnancy and have been trying to keep the indulgences under control. My belly is still tender from the…

Eek, sorry to hear about getting his shoulder stuck but congrats on a healthy boy! I hope you're both doing well!

Congrats!! And what a lovely name :)

That's an amazing birth story! I'm so glad you and little Isaac Sebastian are healthy, I guess he decided the time was NOW :)

Miranda_mom: i'm trying to avoid your friend's experience exactly! While the Dr and midwife would let me try labouring, because of many factors (this being my first, the way she's breech which would not apply even pressure down below causing my cervix to dialate very slowly if ever enough, etc, etc) I would likely end up…

At 38 weeks i'm sitting at 160 lbs for a grand total of 30 lbs gained @ 5'2. I was hoping to be closer to the 25 lb mark, but as this is my last weigh-in ( the babe comes Monday!) And my overall level of discomfort has gone up so much, I don't really care :) Christmas was definitely a killer for weight gain but other than…

Thanks ladies! I am 38 weeks and will be just shy of 39 for the c-section. Thankfully our little girl seems to be healthy in every way, she's just confused about north and south :) I will definitely try to stay Zen and let things happen as they will (while loudly voicing my opinion if necessary). My midwife will still be…

I meant to post earlier but forgot! At 37 weeks I'm up 30 lbs according to the midwife's scale. I started at 130 lbs and am now 160 lbs and 5'2. While I'm still in the healthy range and am likely to deliver short of 35 lbs with only 3 weeks remaining, I am hoping that some of this weight is just Christmas fluff that'll…

Sometimes I feel like she could come anytime and then other times I feel like she's in there for good! :) I'm not 'ready' in the sense that the nursery isn't perfectly set up, I have housework I'd still like to do, etc. but I'd love for her to come any minute anyways. I guess my excitement is kicking in and I'm pretty done…
-
Mehgan--a weekly massage sounds fabulous! I'm much closer to being as 'ready' as you are though Manda :) We're doing cloth diapers and I finally ordered some yesterday. I also cut the fabric out for reusable wipes so they just need to be sewn up. That being said, this is our first so we'll see how all this cloth/washing…

Hello! You might wanna check out the Fit Fabulous and Pregnant group (they have different boards for each month/season of due date). We're a splinter group from them :) Good luck with your pregnancy!

When I joined MFP I actually weighed less than I do now, I only had about 10 lbs to lose, but what I really wanted was to stop the upward trend that was starting. It has been a little tough and a little crazy seeing the scale weigh more than I have ever in my life. But Dandelyon is absolutely right, we're gaining for the…

I wake up at 3:30 every night too! I was wondering if this is my body getting ready for feeding in the middle of the night. I found that either turning on Netflix/tv to something light helps or turning on a white noise app. I especially like the waves crashing on the beach program from 'White Noise' (which is free!).

Hello ladies! Starting: 130 lbs, 5' 2 25 weeks (almost): +14 lbs 30 weeks: +22 Things have been crazy here with an unexpected death in the family and my father-in-law more or less moving in for an undefined period of time (these past 2 weeks have been...interesting...to say the least) Anywho, I'm still hoping to shoot for…

Hello all! I'm 29 weeks tomorrow and the heartburn/acid reflux has gotten insane. I made the mistake of having greasy food yesterday for supper and I'm still paying for it! Otherwise I have the aches and pains, and I found my leg and hip get sore when I lie on my left side while sleeping. Of course this is my preferred…
-
You seem to be doing great!! And does your 10 lb gain take into account the 4 you lost at the start (aka are you really 6 lbs up from your conception weight)? Either way, you are right on track. I think my new body looks so funny, not exactly un-sexy just...weird I guess. Either way, this is a temporary state so try to…
-
Starting: 130 lbs, 5' 2 25 weeks (almost): +14 lbs I was away for work for the last 5 days though, so it might be some water/salt weight as well. Either way, if I gain a lb a week until the babe comes then I'm still within the recommended range. I am hoping things slow down a bit though, I'm short/small and I was at the…

If we were having a boy he would have been Fox James Cody but since she's a girl she'll be Olive Julie Monique. We've also had some people tell us how strange Olive and Fox are for names but that's too bad. No one will care about names once they see a cute little baby, I'm sure.

Hello Ladies! It's been awfully busy here so it's taken me a bit to update, but we had our scan two weeks back and we're having a GIRL!! I think my darling husband knew as soon as he saw the screen but he was kind of hoping for a boy until the last minute. Now that we know she's a little girl he's really excited about it,…

Hi Ladies! I thought I would check in. I'm just about 21 weeks and have gained about 5 lbs. It fluctuates pretty widely though (ie. if I weigh in at night after a weekend of travelling, I'm up 9 lbs, but the next day or so I go back to 5). I won't lie I'm still struggling with eating as cleanly as I did before I got…
-
Thanks ladies! Just knowing I'm not alone in this craziness helps. I will definitely try writing everything down, and doing the relaxation techniques.

Hello all! I just got back from a doctor's appointment and am officially up 4 lbs at 16 weeks. This is my first time around so I'm assuming this is good ? The doctor said we were 'on track' (way to be vague, eh?) so I assume it's alright. We also got to hear Roo's heartbeat which was so nice! I haven't felt any movement…

We'll find out at 19 weeks (our next ultrasound date). My husband tried to get the US technician to guess the gender at our 12 week ultrasound but she just kind of laughed at him and told us it was too early. I thought I'd like to know but if baby doesn't want to show us then that's the way it is -- that won't fly with my…

My suggestion would be to be gentle with yourself! Morning sickness doesn't last forever and it's more important that you're getting some food in there right now more than anything else. P&B sandwiches and bananas aren't the worst things you could be eating so I say go with it. I know crackers and cheese were big for me as…

Pancakes can definitely be frozen and then heated in the toaster (same with waffles--just like the store bought) or in the microwave. My husband is gluten-free so we do this a lot so he can have something fast to grab in the morning or for a snack.
