Oh wow, I had no idea that feature was available. Thanks!

Hi, thank you for setting this up. I meant to add everyone yesterday but lo had other ideas about whether mom would get any extra time. I think Friday weigh ins would be great!

Thank you so much!!!!

Hey all, Keep on going ladies, you're doing awesome! I delivered my nugget at 39 weeks 3 days on December 17th ❤ that's his chubby self below (9lbs, 9oz) My last recorded weight was approximately a total gain of 26lbs...with COPIOUS amounts of swelling. Happy to start losing soon, but that's another forum. Good luck and…

Almost done: 38 weeks + 4 days, up 24lbs ...c'mon kiddo, I'm so ready for you!

awesome! Your tats are amazing as well~

i'm 37 weeks today, request sent!

Request sent. A couple years ago I lost quite a bit of weight on here for my wedding. Fast forward to now and I'm 37 weeks pregnant and chomping at the bit to start losing again.

I love pinterest --request sent.

36 weeks today, up 20 lbs. Ready to have this baby yesterday...

34 weeks today, up 20 lbs Soooo ready for baby to be here!

Graduating with my Master's in English this May 2015!!!

Bearded lady...shrunken package...? Maybe men AND women should just say no? Both of those seem like unpleasant outcomes lol

30 weeks, up 14lbs...counting down these last 10 weeks and praying for an early/punctual arrival. Though I haven't noted my weight on here on a week to week basis, I will say that my weight tends to jump up a few lbs every few weeks or so, then it holds steady, which is actually exactly how I lose weight too. I didn't…

Ahhhh! Congratulations!!!! That's so exciting :D

29 weeks, up 14 lbs

Meggwyn- Congrats on being almost finished!!!

Thanks everyone! I've heard the apple cider trick too, but I'll admit I'm a little apprehensive to try it... Cucumbers and balsamic vinegar actually sounds like a delicious snack so I won't mind giving that a try lol. The aloe vera juice and kefir both are great ideas, I'll have to hit the grocery store to pick some up.…

First, you ladies are remarkable. I genuinely feel this group has helped me remain motivated at a time I could have just gone nuts and eaten whatever. 27 weeks, up 12 lbs. Ready for the 3rd trimester home stretch!

I wish :-( I wasn't lifting regularly enough to feel confident enough to lift

Bueller?

I feel like I could tell by 18 weeks. But sometimes now at 26 I wonder if others see me and just think I'm fat lol

It isn't from lifting. All I've done as far as working out is walking and swimming and I'm still experiencing round ligament pain on a daily basis. I'm at 26 weeks now, occasionally I will take tylenol, and swimming helps when I'm in the pool, but I'm afraid aside from that there isn't much I can recommend to you. But, at…

Op you and I started at a very similar place. I'm 5'8" and was 224 prepregnancy. My doctor didn't give me any recommendations as far as weight gain but I wanted to keep it about 15 lbs. At 26 weeks I've gained 11, I'm fairly OK with that. As for sugar cravings I eat tons of fresh fruit and I like to have a hot chocolate…

Maybe compromise with some part time work, or perhaps seeks something that will allow you to work from home? Full time child care is INCREDIBLY expensive so it may actually be beneficial to review your finances to see if it would be more cost effective to stay home with your little one. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful,…

Thanks everyone for the feedback, it all makes good sense. I'll try to relax and just take the test :smile:

Couldn't agree more!

I can't tell you my own story, but my mom had my baby brother at age 41. Perfectly healthy baby boy, 9 lbs, absolutely no complications, vaginal birth. I haven't done any extensive research on this topic, and I wouldn't tell any one to simply throw caution to the wind. But, from a personal position, I know ladies over…

Checking in -- 22 weeks today!!! I'm up 6 pounds :smile: Goals for the remainder of my pregnancy: More veggies. I've been eating TONS of fruit, I need more greens. Up the walking/swimming. It's triple digit season down here in Dallas...all I want to do is sit in front of a fan inside the house. Obviously not the best…

I think people just like to run their mouths with "advice" when motherhood comes into the equation. My sister has two (bigger) dogs (a lab and a bulldog) that she and her spouse have kept and cared well for, their firstborn is now one. Now that I'm pregnant people want to tell me to get rid of my cat, among other obnoxious…
