Hi Ladies, I hope you're doing well. Off to Canada to house hunt and meet with a midwife and maybe a doula. Have a great week.

My biggest gain yet........I expected it as I've slacked on workout out......... Today is a new day and I'm starting again! 6 weeks: +1.2 7 weeks: -0.9 8 weeks: -0.7 9 weeks:+1.0 10 weeks: +3.4 11 weeks: +5.0 12 weeks: +5.8 13 weeks: +4.7 14 weeks: +4.7 15 weeks: +6.5 16 weeks: +6.4 17 weeks: +7.1 18 weeks: +9.5 19 weeks:…

It's funny you bring this up, I'm home on a visit and our Beaglier who is usually very aloof (cat like), is always touching me or near me. My mom said maybe she knows your pregnant! Maybe.......

I'm using Organic Coconut Oil (the kind you cook with -llisted here) http://www.henryhappened.com/5-beauty-uses-for-coconut-oil.html Although research says its all up to genetics, there's no harm in trying to prevent them. My mom and sister got loads of stretch marks, but my other sister who gained 70 lbs during pregnancy…

What??!! :noway: This is weird and makes no sense at all. You are doing just fine! Where were you at overseas?

Can't believe I didn't gain.....I ate out a lot. I'll probably post high numbers next week, but so far, I'm satisfied with my progress. 6 weeks: +1.2 7 weeks: -0.9 8 weeks: -0.7 9 weeks:+1.0 10 weeks: +3.4 11 weeks: +5.0 12 weeks: +5.8 13 weeks: +4.7 14 weeks: +4.7 15 weeks: +6.5 16 weeks: +6.4 17 weeks: +7.1 18 weeks:…

2 eggs on a bagel thin with whipped cream cheese. I want to add oatmeal into my rotation.....

Also wanted to add that the Victorias Secret Most Loved Yoga pants have worked great as maternity workout pants. They have a band that normally you fold over.......while pregnant, just leave the band up and it covers the tummy nicely. I just went up one size -…

Congratulations! I'm 34, but wanted to pop in and wish you a great pregnancy.

Thanks for posting this..... I have allergies and asthma and I'm constantly out of breath now :grumble: LadyJacc- I can't believe you're in boot camp! That is impressive to me!!

Rebecca, how strange the receptionist goes on and on about it. When people tell me they're not finding out the sex of the baby, it means to me that they don't want to know.......even know your guesses! People are strange though, no denying that. My husband was almost 10 lbs! :noway: I'm so scared....... Hopefully our big…

Hi Ladies, I hope you are all doing well, wish I could review all the posts I've missed and respond.....but I think that would take me forever. Rebecca, cute puppy!!! Great practice for waking up all night with the baby :tongue: LadyJacc & Laser- have you tried Meetup.com? I used it when I moved to Australia and made…

Congratulations! :flowerforyou:

Have a great week ladies :smile: 6 weeks: +1.2 7 weeks: -0.9 8 weeks: -0.7 9 weeks:+1.0 10 weeks: +3.4 11 weeks: +5.0 12 weeks: +5.8 13 weeks: +4.7 14 weeks: +4.7 15 weeks: +6.5 16 weeks: +6.4 17 weeks: +7.1 18 weeks: +9.5 19 weeks: +11 20 weeks: +11 21 weeks: +12

Hi, Happy to answer with what my Endo has told me. They would rather I be Hyper Because they are more worried about the baby than me. :tongue: A baby is more at risk with a mother being hypo than hyper. When you're hypo, there isn't enough thyroid hormone for both you and your baby....... *possibly* leading to delays in…

Hey ladies! Thanks! Excited to "house hunt" at the end of the month.......hopefully I'll have a visa and can find a midwife.

Great! :smile:

Hi, I'm Hypo too. Not much to offer other than support...... I have to have blood tests every 4-6 weeks and have had my meds upped once so far. I think I was down to TSH 1.8 and the Endo wants it lower. He thinks its better to be hyper than hypo during pregnancy. Not sure if that's the same approach American Endos......…

What an a - hole! Can you find another doctor? One who actually understands those recovering from eating disorders and knows not to "trigger"....... It's a sensitive time in your life and I think you deserve a sensitive doctor.....one who gives better advice than you're "too pretty" to gain a lot of weight. :flowerforyou:

Hi, Thought I'd throw in my 2 cents; Old Navy....... -Very disappointed, my tank top ripped on day 1 and it wasn't even tight. -Jeans were hideous on me......ugh soul crushing WalMart............ -Cheaply made, but my skirt, danskin sweatshirt and pants are doing the job for $5 & $10 each. Motherhood......... -The leggings…

Hi IamPanda, Looks like you're doing great......are you concerned? I'm 5'5" started at a healthy weight and have gained 11 lbs a 20 weeks.....

Thank LadyJacc :flowerforyou:

11 lbs and I started at a healthy weight........... but I feel huge in the past 2 weeks!

Nice job ladies! 6 weeks: +1.2 7 weeks: -0.9 8 weeks: -0.7 9 weeks:+1.0 10 weeks: +3.4 11 weeks: +5.0 12 weeks: +5.8 13 weeks: +4.7 14 weeks: +4.7 15 weeks: +6.5 16 weeks: +6.4 17 weeks: +7.1 18 weeks: +9.5 19 weeks: +11 20 weeks: +11

Congrats!!!!

I hope everyone had a nice Holiday! The Holidays did me in! Lots of bad choices and running around like crazy. Only exercised 3 times since I've been back home in the USA..... Hoping to get back on the healthy triain today. 6 weeks: +1.2 7 weeks: -0.9 8 weeks: -0.7 9 weeks:+1.0 10 weeks: +3.4 11 weeks: +5.0 12 weeks: +5.8…

Hey ladies- 6 weeks: +1.2 7 weeks: -0.9 8 weeks: -0.7 9 weeks:+1.0 10 weeks: +3.4 11 weeks: +5.0 12 weeks: +5.8 13 weeks: +4.7 14 weeks: +4.7 15 weeks: +6.5 16 weeks: +6.4 17 weeks: +7.1

Exactly Rebecca! I have IBS, but I don't take medication anymore (probably need to address that). After you haven't gone in over a week you start researching the topic like you're writing your dissertation!

Rebecca- sorry about your pain in spinning class. We're you wearing padded biking shorts? I have a spinning bike at home and I'm ALWAYS sore afterwards unless I wear those shorts....to the point it feels like I'm bruised. With that in mind, I bet you're even more likely to have pain due to pregnancy. Feel better soon!…

Ok, this is probably TMI, but invest in a children's step stool to store in your bathroom too..... So you're in a squat position, rather than feet dangling. Positioning is very important and movement, if you're someone who doesn't respond to the other interventions mentioned on their own. Here's a video on it;…
