Just started week 3 of ripped in 30 today. I was glad to escape week 2 but ooowwiiieeee! Anyone else do thus one? The Duck walk? Omg my legs were going to die! I am really liking ripped in 30, I live 30 day shred but I have it memorized, this is my favorite system (3-2-1) but fresh! Definitely one for all JM lovers to own.…

Lol, I buy it all the time. I put a little splenda or honey and some berries or cereal, and it's quite yummy!

Ladies, you are all so wonderful and I am so proud of you. I passed my baby tonight so I will have to leave you. :sad: Thank you for the inspiration and support!

Tell me about it! We are the same - I hope I do as well as you. I bled again without a BM just as I was calming down and spent the rest of the day crying. I did find some research articles showing that light bleeding is ok, especially around previous period time and placenta time, but I'm miserable. I know what will be…

Holding my place here. I will be back to comment on everyone's progress. The good news is no more spotting (and it was only a tiny spot). Still waiting for my OB to get back to me, I asked her for a serial hcg. I just want to get through this week, buy a fetal Doppler, and check it daily - I got the first trimester blues!…

I remember when you posted about this before, I remember not thinking it was a big deal but of course when it happened to ME it freaked me out! It's only been a tiny bit of brown since but GOD I have never been so unhappy to see blood in my life! I tried to remain calm but I did email my OB and ask her if she'd order a…

Noticed dome spotting just now, it was after a BM so I hope there won't be more. Pray for me :sad: Strangely, I'm sitting next to my OB at a workshop at the moment....

BrazilIian butt lift (the beach body DVD program) really helped reshape my Lower body but now that I'm pregnant my thighs are trying to expand again. I am returning to it to help keep them at bay, but I think i will also try butt bible. Keep the tips coming!

Red_rubies, sounds like you’re right on track with your gain! A healthy gain for the whole pregnancy is like 2 stone, so congrats! RootedRedwood, I remember you from other places around MFP, welcome! I’m sorry you were so sick, even if you have to resort to bars just keep something around to snack on. It should get easier…

In terms of goals, I am aiming to maintain my weight first trimester (except I gained 7lbs out of nowhere which I hope is water but I set my cals to a little under maintenance for now), and then put on 20 lbs (1.5 stone?) by gaining a half a pound a week second trimester and a pound a week 3rd trimester. I am also aiming…

princesspurple, no worries about not catching up, I think most of use just want to hear what everyone’s up to. It’s exciting you only gained 31 lbs and stayed active! Great job! ofccat, sounds like you are doing fantastic, congrats on the trip! Your daughter is soooo cute btw! Welcome svgarcia! Wishing you a happy and…

Hmm, this worries me. It sounds like they should do an ultrasound to rule out a clot, get some blood cultures, and maybe even admit you to the hospital for IV antibiotics. This kind of thing is nothing to play with, especially with a pregnancy at stake. If bacteria get into your blood stream at high enough counts it can…

Speaking of not being able to keeping a secret, my family is horrible! We are close so I had to tell my mom and dad, but since then my mom has told about a dozen people because she's close to them, or they "figured it out" because she kept beaming. I keep hearing "um, I HAD to tell so and so because..." :laugh: Worse yet,…

Kalee, how is your leg? Lexi & Holly, you two are amazing for persuing school while pregnant, you will have great inspirational stories to tell your kids! Sabrinafaith, I think you're right about it being sodium related. The weight balloon started the day after I had some nice and salty jamaican soup! I am trying to be…

I like the shirataki noodles in a stirfry but otherwise my favorite is kelp noodles. You can get them in the same section and they are 6 cals/serving. I posted a kelp spaghetti recipe somewhere and I also made a version of singapore street noodles with them. All you do it soak them in warm water for 30 minutes to get the…

Ok, I seriously gained 4 pounds overnight! WTH? I ate under calories yesterday too! Maybe I have to take a serious look at things. I can't be gaining so much so early! Hopefully some of it is from my new circuit training video, but still!
-
Awww, look at your little bump! I'm jealous! Of course you get to wear maternity clothes! How did they make it 5-6months? Your baby is peach size, + amniotic fluid and swollen uterus. Stuffing that in pants that fit a previously flat stomach is tough!
-
I'm hoping my scrubs will carry me through most of it. It will be one way to try and keep my thighs in check, too - if i could fit my scrub pants through most of this oregnancy it would be a HUGE victory. My mom is already shopping for maternity clothes for me though, lol.

Progesterone can cause weight gain from water and is definitely an appetite stimulant. We use it on patients with aids and cancer to get them to eat. So it can definitely be a problem! Just make sure you are getting in your 5 a day of fruits and veggies and a few servings of protein and there won't be much room left to do…

Woke up this am with visible abs, a 1.5lb weight loss, and hardly any pooch. Boobs are still big though. I don't know whether to be happy or worried. The fact that I diagnose miscarriage almost every shift makes me see it everywhere. :frown:
-
Like freaking right away, that's how I knew I was pregnant. I slashed calories when I saw my weight going up and still it climbed, and it went to my boobs and belly, which never happens. My stomach is usually flat and it has been stuck with a little pooch since 5 weeks. I think it's water gain from progresterone and maybe…
-
I do these early pregnancy assessments all the time and seeing only a gestational Sac at your level is extremely common. Most women go on to develop a fetal pole, etc, they are just being cautious. Do t worry about that little bit of weight gain, it's likely all water from progesterone.

Hey you should be able to decrease the resistance or go slow enough on the elliptical to hit your goals, also if you are going by heart rate you can go up to 85% of MHR (see the discussion above where 140 is likely outdated). Also, if you feel like you are not working too hard, may you can you the talk test or rate of…
-
I'm not 100% sure on her reasoning - my first appointment with her isn't until next month (we chatted by email). But here are my thoughts - RPE and heart rate are pretty intimately linked, and I think determining the optimal RPE and heart rate during pregnancy are both arbitrary because no one has done or will do a…

Ack, my last update to all of you got stuck in quotes and I didn’t see it until it was too late to edit it! Wow, you are doing great! What kind of Zumba are you doing? DVD or the class? I wanna try it… Do you think Beachbody will make one? Umm, trust me, you’re pregnant – LOL! False positives are close to impossible.…

As for me, I am working out on a regular basis again but all my routine seem harder and all I want to do is sleep. I am also nauseated all day most days now. It’s weird to be struggling this much with such a tiny baby inside. At the same time, hubby has me paranoid. He doesn't want to go out and celebrate the baby until…

OMG, it's sooo hard to keep up! I am enjoying reading but it is hard to reply since I want to comment on all I have read. Here goes: Leticia, you’re doing great, congrats! so cute about the kids being excited!

Yeah we can get up to 12 weeks of leave, but it's all unpaid, you can use your sick time but that maxes out at 3 weeks. So I am trying to pick up extra shifts since we bank them as extra money or extra time off, this is what other physicians in my group do - work harder when we are most tired, lol. I'm thinking 8 weeks but…

sorry to hear that, try some crystallized ginger candy and make sure you rehydrate. If you can't keep down fluid have your ob call in some zofran before you end up in the ER
