chindholm : I was hoping for a boy, then I was a girl, then a boy, then a girl lol so I would be happy either way. My sister is pregnant right now with a boy so it would be nice for someone my sisters baby could be friends with.

Hey girls- I just cant wait until july 10th for my ultrasound. Im so worried the baby will have its legs crossed and refuse to open them. With my first she was face and and would not turn over so we couldnt find out that day. We did get to come back the following week b/c they didnt get to check the facial features and stuff. But I so want to know, now!!!! I am hoping for a boy but I think I will be happy if its a girl too!

I am feeling like c___p. I feel worn down and sick like Im going to throw up at the end of every day.
How is everyone doing on their weight gain. I am trying to keep mine to MINIMUM! I was way heavier than I have ever been when I got pregnant this time. I was doing really good. My last appt, I was 14 weeks and I was down 1 pound from my starting weight. I am scared to go next week, hopefully I havent gained too much!

I am feeling pretty good right now. My ms went away right around 14 weeks. So the past 2 weeks have been fantastic. I also have more energy now. Jess that is awesome about your weight gain. With both of my children I gained btwn 50 and 55 lbs. i was able to lose it both times plus a little more with my last, but I really wanted to keep it to a minimum this time. At the beginning I didn't do so swell. I gained approx a pound a week until I was 13 weeks along. Then I stopped gaining. So now I am at 16 weeks and am up 13 lbs already. I eat healthy too for the most part, but the first trimester I was starving. ANd if I didn't eat every few hours I felt like I was going to pa__s out. Now my appet_te is back to normal and I am keeping a close eye on that scale!

Some days I feel great and other days I feel like c___p. Last month when I was at my appointment I had gained 10lbs. But lately I don't eat very much when I do eat, maybe a couple of bites and then I'm full but I'm hungry again in an hour.

I know what you all mean about feeling like c___p. I was lucky enough to never get the ms/nausea, but I'm still VERY tired and I get alot of headaches and my allergies are just unbearable. I was up for hours last night and I'm miserable today for work :( I have gained about 9 lbs so far which is alot for me. I only gained 18 lbs total on my last pregnancy, I hope I don't pork up too much. I was able to lose the weight quickly last time, by the time I went for my 8 week check up, I was back at my prepreg weight. I'm just so hungry all the time! Colleen

Colleen- I hear you about being hungry all the time. That just start this week for me. Im starving every 2 hours. Thats why Im nervous about my appt next week. I hope I wont have packed on the pounds. I have been trying to walk 3-4 nights a week. I just know I CANNOT gain 40 pounds like last time. I have a hard time losing it....

jess- I know 40lbs is hard to lose, but even if overweight they still recommend you gain 15-20. My sister in law just had her baby and she gained just over 70 lbs!!! She is a tall girl, so she carried it better than I would (I'm only 5 ft 1). I swear when I was b___stfeeding, the pounds just fell off! Have you tried bf'ing even for a little while? If you're hungry, you have to eat!

The doctor hasnt said anything about how much I should/should not gain. They didnt seem concerned that at 14 weeks I had lost one pound in total. Of course with my first pregnancy I was much thinner and the doctor was worried in the first couple of months when I lost 2 pounds. Of course I ended up gaining 40 by the end of that pregnancy so I more than made up for it. I am aiming to only gain about 20-25 throughout this whole pregnancy, we will see how that works out!!! Especially now that Im hungry all the time!

Hi girls, I am due on December 31st and am 14 weeks pregnant. This is my fifth child ( I did have a m/c last summer) I got pregnant by surprise when my youngest was 3 months old and I lost it as it never developed properly, but I feel so blessed to be pregnant now. We had our first trimester screening 2 weeks ago and the results were very good. My youngest is 14 months. So I hope to get to know you all.

Hi Carly and welcome, congrats on your pregnancy! Sorry to hear of your loss last year. Are you hoping for a boy or girl? My lo is almost 19 months and my due date is on her second birthday. Jess- I also lost a bit of weight in my first trimester last time, but my doc said it was fairly common. This time however I am not having a hard time gaining. Has anyone ordered the Fetal Doppler? I am seriously considering doing it. It's about $45 per month (a little steep) but it sounds well worth it. Colleen

Good Morning ladies! I am at 17 weeks 2 days. The doc is anticipating the due date at December 9th. All is well. I am bummed though that the doctor won't do the next ultrasound until about 24 weeks. Congrats to you all! :)
