Anyone else TTC/NTNP #2 and have a LO under 1yr?

[ArmyWife1984]

Sorry d1

Ya darlin! Back on the wagon! I'd start testing 6dpo but thats when i have tons of ic's, otherwise around 9dpo if i don't.

 

[Darlin65]

I'm thinking next Friday or Saturday? I think I'm 1dpo now

 

[ArmyWife1984]

Seems so far away..lol u a poas addict too?

I can't believe it, i surpassed my total weight i was with ds i gave birth to him weighing 203lbs.....now i am 207lbs and still have 12more wks!!!!! Eeek!!!!!!!

I did lose close to 25lbs the day after delivery, hoping for a repeat!

I never got back to my pre pregnancy weight so i understand why i am weighing more ....

 

[Darlin65]

Yes I am a poas addict but I promised DH I wouldn't

I am very worried about my weight gain. !40lbs before DS 175lbs full term and 170lbs after birth I've gotten to 165lbs but it doesn't stay there i fluctuate. I'm so afraid of hitting 200lbs with this next pregnancy. I went from a sz 6 to a 14/16 Also my boobs will be huuuge. I was a 34/36 C before now I am a 36 D/DD. They're gonna get like cartoon character huge Plus since I had a section all the loose skin I already have. I am was 100% okay with my body image while pg but after with all my thyroid issues I just couldn't lose the extra weight

 

[ArmyWife1984]

i know when i was bf'ing it seemed harder to lose weight in a way..i'd be losing calories but then i'd be over eating ALOT. I always felt sooo hungry.

I know what you mean though...i miss my old body too i have 20 pairs of jeans collecting dust and all i can fit into now are my sweats..when huby and i went on our date night, i tried on so many shirts and pants...nothing fit hubby thought it was cute but i felt like a fat cow

I definetly plan on going on a strict diet post pregnancy. Nothing but soups and chicken and fresh fruit and veggies. And hopefully find 20min a few times a week to jump on the treadmill.

I gained like 50 pounds with #1 I got fat ALL OVER. I told myself my whole life, even pregnant I would never go over 200 pounds. Well I gave birth at 213! I lost about 20 pounds at birth. With #2 I was at pre pregnancy weight, gave birth at 199 and lost..10 pounds at birth! WTH?? He weighed 8 pounds 13 ozs. So everything else weighed 1 pound 3 ounces and the other 30 pounds..fat???!! With #2 I was all belly. Now Im at my pre pregnancy weight that I was before kids. But my prepregnancy clothes still dont fit Guess my stomach got stretched out too much. Im trying to lose 15 more pounds so even if I gain 50 pounds again with pregnancy I wont be over 200

 

[Darlin65]

I was losing immediately after bf'ing. I bought a special par of jeans to go out in a month after and I can barely fit them now December I couldn't wear them at all. Mine is mainly my thyroid problem. No matter what I do I just have problems losing. Even with the wedding I basically starved myself and worked out constantly but only lost 10lbs and couldn't keep it off.

This was me after pregnancy but before my thyroid issues. Don't mind my flat chest I was wearing a not so flattering sports bra

 

[ArmyWife1984]

Damn that stinks that the thyroid really limits your weight. You do look fit post pregnancy

 

[Darlin65]

Yeah, it didn't last though Think that's the hard part I had it I looked great and got it ripped away

 

[daddiesgift]

Heres my before and after pictures Not very good ones. As I was looking I cant find anything of just me and my full body

1st pic day I gave birth at 213
2nd picture ..1st picture is me at 6 weeks prego which wouldve been about 6 months post partum with #1
3rd picture day I gave birth to #2 at 199
4th picture me last month 6 month post partum with #2

 

[ArmyWife1984]

Seeing our LO's smile though makes the stretch marks and flabby tummy's worth it. I just hope number 2 doesn't do anymore damage lol. I think i'll be 220 by the time i give birth........

 

[Darlin65]

Blue dress is after having him and the wedding pic is from April this yr. I can't for the life of me find a before pregnancy pic

 

[daddiesgift]

ohhh love the blue dress!!

 

[Darlin65]

Thanks DH took me out for a romantic night out when LO was like 2months old. Had me buy a new dress and get all fancy lol It's an awkward pic tho because he looks nothing like himself in it

 

[RedRose19]

Bought a test for tomorrow and it's jamies birthday

 

[ArmyWife1984]

Here was my post pregnancy belly...a week after i gave birth....i do have pre pregnancy pics but they are on the laptop which is currently broke due to LO pushing it over.

Redrose: so excited to hear the results....how do u plan on surprising OH if you get your bfp?

 

[RedRose19]

on fathers day which is sunday!

 

[ArmyWife1984]

U gonna wrap it up or something? Bake it in a cake? lol jk

 

[Darlin65]

Here's an idea Redrose! I wouldn't give him the one you peed on though. I'd take it apart and put a little piece of paper in it where it should say pregnant and have it say "Surprise" or "Oh Boy!"
