Hi ladies. I had an argument with my mother the other day about how much weight I'd actually gained during this pregnancy and my last. My last pregnancy I started off at 129 lbs, dropped to 120 from nausea/food aversions, and then delivered at 152. I've always been telling people that I gained 23 lbs (i.e. 152-129), but my mother says that's wrong ( Read more... )

I'm 20w1d and the past two days I have been starving, which gives me a lot of anxiety, because ( Read more... )

Ok, I'm currently 27w4d w/ #2. Pre-pregnancy, my BMI was 19.4, so I had no weight to lose. At my 25 week appointment, I had glucose in my urine (after I had just had a strawberry milkshake. whoops) and needed to take the glucose challenge anyway, so I went home with a blood sugar monitor and paranoid as shit about GD ( Read more... )

Ok ladies... I'm highly disgruntled today. Lol I stepped on the scale yesterday and was not a fan of the number I saw. The nurse said I was fine but I'm kind of freaking out.

My weight is especially an issue because I have PCOS and fibromyalgia, so losing weight is a long process that is not going fast ( Read more... )

Anyone have any tips on handling people who are concerned you're not gaining enough weight? I'm 24.5 weeks and not showing yet, but everything is healthy. People are getting after me saying that there must be something wrong, I better start gaining weight, etc. I know I'm eating enough, and the baby is fine, but how do I deal with people who want ( Read more... )

So I want to excersise while pregnant. When I was pregnant with DD (now almost 14 mos), I only weighed 262 (size 20-22) pre pregnancy and only gained 10lbs! I was soooo proud of myself for that!! In the weeks after delivery, I lost 30lbs ( Read more... )
