(44) Little Presents - Due in December 2013

[elleff]

Hows everyone doing?
Lara - I know how you feel, we only have one bathroom and sometimes trying to get into it to puke is a task! I've had to throw up in the kitchen sink and in a bowl in my bedroom!
I was sick 4 times yesterday, and not just a little bit, it was massive, literally every single thing I ate I threw up big style. Then I was sick this morning again. It's really taking it out of me, I'm not getting any nutrients I feel like I'm running on empty. I'm so waiting for this pregnancy glow.......

Hey ladies can I join you all?
I'm pregnant with my first baby due 23rd December xxx

Congratulations! You have been added to the front page

I feel like a lot of you, huge... according to my 2nd appointment I gained 5 lbs in 3 weeks. I'm not sure how accurate that is though, since I went early in the morning the first time before I had anything to eat. The 2nd time was late afternoon so I had been eating all day, and *TMI since I've been constipated and so backed up I'm sure that contributed to the 5 lbs.

I'm not going to stress about it though, I want to stay around the 25-30 lbs for this pregnancy, but I'm also not going to starve myself and feel miserable to do it. Right now the more I eat the better my nausea is, I'm trying to eat a little bit every hour or two since that seems to make me feel good. I have been much better about eating healthy things like fruits so that's good!

i wouldn't worry at all about weight gain! With my first i was told i'd gain 25-35 pounds and ended up gaining almost 50!! I'm kind of small to begin with though, so that might be a factor.. It all came off really quickly once i started exercising after he was born. Just make sure you don't go crazy eating everything because you think you'll lose it all.. you know, just stay healthy and you'll be fine.

I too have wondered about constipation contributing to weight gain, sometimes i weigh myself one day then the next and it will be a few pounds different.....

This morning while I was still lying in bed and before any bloat showed up, I think I could feel my fundal line/uterus. It was just peeking up over my public bone maybe half an inch or a little more. Those who've had multiple pregnancies...can you feel your uterus so soon? This is my third pregnancy and I was really surprised that it seemed like I could feel it, as I'm only 9 weeks tomorrow and the basic rule is 12 weeks. This may explain why I'm so giant.

I got really lucky with breastfeeding my first. I gained over 40 lbs with her pregnancy, but she basically sucked it out of me in the first few months. I really doubt I'll be so lucky this time, especially with how fast my body is changing, but it was nice to have that for my first time! I'm currently not overly concerned with weight gain. I don't want to gain a huge amount, but the same weight or a little more as with my daughter wouldn't be bad to me.

Ugh Ladies! I feel so bad for those of you w/ MS.. I am lucky to not have any but I do still feel nauseaus from time to time. .. last night lying in bed I thought I was gonna lose it. Hang in there ladies!

 

[brit3435]

I too feel so bad for the ladies who are having bad ms! I can't imagine how I would handle throwing up while home with dd I'm afraid it would scare her! Luckily I haven't thrown up or felt close to it. Although I still think the ms is worse this pregnancy although I think having to feed and diaper a toddler all day long is making it worse. Stinky diapers and cleaning food out of ears and belly buttons is not good for sensitive stomachs!

Drgomps I'm the same as you I had to exercise and diet to lose my baby weight. Only 21 lbs came off on their own the other 20 was up to me and it was hard! I'm so jealous your dr is allowing you to work out high intensity...I love to jog with dd in the stroller and he said the most I can do now is power walk

Sugar Beth I was wondering the same thing. I'm only 8 weeks but for the past couple of days I can feel the hollow sensitive feeling of my uterus being outside of the pelvis. I'm not showing at all yet but if that is my uterus already I may be soon!

DHB...I have gained like 6 lbs...I think. def think the constipation contributions and for me eating little bits every couple hours helps the nausea...its hard because I need to function at work all day...

Brit...why won't he let you exercise?? that seems odd...I know lots of women who jogged during their pregnancy...is it because of the preterm labor???

AFM...7 weeks today...2 days until my scan...I can't wait...though I am having lots of symptoms which are reassuring...

here is my bump...

my stupid siggy got edited...I don't think it was too big...but could someone repost the code for the banner??

 

[Laelani]

Nice gaining 6lbs isn't bad! I went from 121lbs (weighed myself sometime in March) to 128lbs (April 17th - first appt with doc) and then I weighed myself yesterday and I'm down to 124lbs. Wondering why that could be. Though I was sick for 3-4 days so I wasn't eating very much. Anyone else gain and then lose any?

 

[hope4rainbow]

My baby is off to a better place. Good luck to all.
