36 weeks and have gained 28lbs

I was pretty good about lifting at least 3xs a week up until recently... Zero energy/motivation now. I've been doing yoga, Pilates and a full body circuit training DVD (not prenatal but I adjust the exercises so I'm comfortable). I know I've lost some strength but I'll get that back. It's just great we are still keeping…

33 1/2 weeks and up 27lbs as of yesterday. Dr is happy with that so I'm not even sweating it!

Im not the happiest pregnant person in the world! lol. This is baby #4....a complete surprise too! First I had to get over the fact I was having another baby. Our oldest is 13 and youngest is 8 1/2. I was finally able to go out when I wanted without kids, having to worry about a sitter, etc. The starting all over part was…

Im having such a hard time with this pregnancy (#4). Fatigue has been an issue since the beginnning but constant insomnia for the past 2 months has made it so much worse. I cut the gym back to 3x's a week (usually Sunday, Wed and Saturday so I don't have to be there for 5am like I would if I went any other day due to my…

Hi - Im due with baby #4 March 23rd. I lost close to 30lbs before findging out I was pregnant also and Im sure at my weigh-in this morning I'll be close to having gained that all back. It is what it is! I havent tracked food at all lately but I still exercise 3-4 times a week. Good luck and feel free to add me :)

I didnt find it bad at all, but I also didn't have to fast prior to the test. Good luck

27 weeks and up 18.5lbs so far...it's all seemed to happen over the last 4 weeks. My midwife questioned the jump in weight so we had an ultrasound last week to check growth (Im measuring 3 weeks ahead) and sure enough, baby girl is almost 3lbs already. Ive got a big baby growing in my tummy!

I went for my check-up today. Im 25 weeks 6 days but am measuring 29 weeks, sooooo they scheduled me for an ultraosund tomorrow to check on her growth. Ive also gained about 10lbs in 4 weeks which is crazy. I feel huge (its literally all belly) so Im sure she is going to be a big girl (both my boys were 8lbs and my…

25 weeks tomorrow and lift at least 3x a week and throw in pilates at least twice a week.

Im getting very bored with prenatal yoga...plus the instructor irritates me! if I hear "now glance down at your growing belly and smile" one more time I might just throw something at the TV! I think Im going to try pilates for a few weeks instead on non-lifting days. Do any of you have a good Pilates DVD you can recommend?…

I know its hard not to worry but try to stay positive!! I haven't heard of this before but I wish you all the best.

just had my 22 weeks check up and Im up 13lbs total. Not too bad

Hi - Feel free to add me. Ive been trying to get in a workout at least 3 days a week. I work Monday - Friday so to get in a workout before work Im up at 4:45am and at the gym for 5:15am. Some weeks are great, others suck. Fatigue is a killer!!! Nights just dont work as my other 3 have homework, gotta cook dinner, lunches…

We had a girls name picked out from the beginning so thankfully we are having a little girl. Her name is Avery Rose

That’s great news!! I’m having baby #4 march 23rd and its a girls also so we are also evened out with 2 boys and 2 girls. My daughter was psyched!!! She was ready to move out if this was another brother! lol I had my level 2 ultrasound last week. It was so awesome to see everything so close. The tech kept saying wow your…

Yup! I suffer from Migraines and was on a beta blocker daily and Relpax (as needed) for migraines. Id have to eat a bottle of tylenol and even then it barely touches them. The first trimester was bad..I was getting a full blown migraine every few weeks..nothing worked..it was 15-18 hours in bed :( I havent had one this 2nd…

I make sure Im taking deep breaths in and letting them out slowly as Im performing the exercise and I rest a little longer inbetween sets when I need to.

I went from low(ish) carbs to now wanting some sort of carb all day every day!! lol I have been following IIFYM for a while now so when I found out I was pregnant I changed my goal to maintenance and have been tracking my macros based of that. It has worked well for me so far.

So here I am thinking I'm up 5lbs so far in this pregnancy based off of my weigh-in at the OB Friday afternoon... Had to go again this morning for a BP check and I was 4lbs less than Friday so I've only gained about a pound these first 16 weeks.. I'll take it!!! BP is back to normal and we are having a girl..this evens our…

Right there with ya! I was doing 5-6 days a week pre-pregnancy. Now Im doing 3 days of full body.

I started to show in form fitting clothes around 10 weeks (this is also my 4th baby). Im definitely rocking a baby bump now at 13 weeks. Its all just belly at this point which is fine with me!! Im hoping thats the only place I show lol

What are you looking to do @Skinnyfat2fab? Before finding out I was pregnant (and had way more energry) I was lifting 5-6 days a week..Ive cut it down to 3 days a week, full body. Body Building.com has great workouts you can look through (weight lifting, body weight routines, etc) Ohh..and Im due March 24th with baby #4…

This is my 4th pregnancy and Ive been dealing with round ligament pains from the beginning. It is miserable.

Hi. I spotted brown and bright red at times from 7 1/2-9 1/2 weeks. I have had several ultrasounds now and the baby is perfect....my OB can't even see on the ultrasound where the blood is coming from. I haven't spotted now in about 2 weeks. I know its scary but try not to stress. It happens to alot of women.

I was worried about that also as prior to getting pregnant I was on a lower carb diet (usually -100g a day). What I did was follow IIFYM recommendations using maintenance as my calorie goal. So far so good! There are days I still don’t hit my carb goals but it’s actually nice having a lot of wiggle room to add foods back in

I have had migraines since I was a kid...and the same as you...in bed for up to 24 hours..can’t take care of my family or anything! I was managing them for the past few years with a beta blocker and Relax. Worked wonders! I’ve been off those since I found out I was pregnant. Saturday I had my first migraine since going…

I feel the same way! Im 9 1/2 weeks and have been fighting this extreme fatigue since about week 6. Prior to this I was at the gym 5-6 days a week. Now Im lucky if Im making it 3 days a week. I get home from work and just want to go to bed. There have been days recently where I shut my office door and sleep for an hour.…

Hi ~ I've been spotting since Sunday (im 8 1/2 weeks). Started brownish then turned to bright red drops Tuesday. My OB saw me first thing Wed morning and did an internal ultrasound. Baby is doing well and everything looks good. She couldn't see where the blood was coming from(not coming from my uterus)....sometimes it just…

Right there with ya except Im due a week before you (March 24th). My 3 are 12, almost 10 and 8. I have ZERO energy and the on/off nausea is driving me crazy!!! Ive only been to the gym twice this week. Hopefully I can drag my butt there tomorrow.
