'Big' girls support thread!

That's weird JNA my doctor told me if I ate right I SHOULD lose weight during the pregnancy (... which I have not lost any haha) but that's interesting about the baby eating off fat stores instead of glucose or whatever. Hope it works out fine either way, I can't see why if your eating right there would be a problem.

I've been stalking this thread for a few days but haven't introduced myself, I'm overweight and have been a long time and in January I made up my mind I wanted to lose weight.. I did a decent job but then got pregnant in May/June so have been having all the worries of having problems because I started out so overweight. The articles and things people say are horrible. So far (knock on wood) things have been going ok, I did show traces of glucose in my urine last dr. appointment so I'm going for the test in a couple weeks anyway... we'll see how that goes.

Anyway all you ladies seem lovely and I hope you don't mind me joining

 

[JNA]

Welcome Meghan your so close to meeting you lo. Did you stop worrying once you got to the 2nd tri or are you still on edge.

My dr is worried because there was something in my urine sample that suggested rapid weight lose. I dont know what it was called as I was in shock and trying not to freak out. So im eating everything in sight. Trying to keep it healthy minus the McDonald's breakfast I had after I left the appointment.

 

[Meghan]

JNA- how weird I hope it's nothing bad, are they running more tests or waiting till ur next appointment to check how it goes? Isn't the worrying while pregnant insane?! I thought I would feel better now that he has had his V-day and in the second trimester and whatnot but I still worry all the time! Everything sets me off, I walk with my dog and I worry I'll fall down and hurt the baby.. or walking down stairs... or not feeling him kick enough.. I don't know if it will ever end! Lol

Hello Ladies,
I hope everyone is doing well. I have been fighting a stomach bug for the last three days and it hasn't been fun. It's been good for the weight loss though. According to my mom's scales, which I don't know if they are accurate, I have lost five pound in the last two days. I am down in the 240's again. I have really come to accept the fact that it might be a while before I get to be a parent. Thankfully my life is full of kids that can help me get that fix. The weight loss will go a long way in helping me be healthier when I do get pregnant. My mom is very strict in how much I can eat and that is very annoying. She keeps telling me that I am never going to get pregnant as long as I am overweight. I can't get her to understand that I can get pregnant but the baby just doesn't stick very long. We have to stay with them till our house is ready for us to move in. I can't wait to get out of here. There is no privacy and we have had little quiet time together. There is hardly ever a time when we are both home and alone. It's great that they are letting us stay with them, but I am more than ready to be in my own house again. I am posting a few pictures. The first one is in early October and I just took the last one today. My belly is getting much flatter thankfully.

Hi girls, sorry I haven't been on here for a few weeks. I had my scan at 13+3, here's the pics baby has its hand by its face making its nose look really long in the second pic he/she is swallowing amniotic fluid

 

[JNA]

So last night I had some discharge that looked just like water. It had no sent but my mom swears up and down it was pee lol. Im trying to keep may cool because im so sick of worrying about every little thing. Plus im out of town and I dont want to go to just any dr.
Good news my daddy bought me krispy kreme donuts and they are delicious. They are helping me fight off the keytones that are making me lose weight even though I dont see any weight loss.
I was told if my keytone levels go any higher I have to go to the hospital. Why I dont know Im calling first thing in the morning to bug my nurses.

Anything new with you girls?

Nice pics Lover

Nice pic lover....

hello Meghan....I am carole

JNA...I had that a few weeks ago with wetness instantly and thought it was a leak in my sac. Spent 5 hours at the hosp and had a quickie scan, had a pap and all was good. Must have been a leak of urine...talk about sexy. LOL...I am sure thats all it is.

AFM...I lost 5lbs when I went to Dr yesterday and got my gest diabetes test result back and they are neg. YAY....still have to go for the two hour again at 26w as I was red flagged with the hour one already.

Hope all u ladies are doing great.

 

[ClaireNicole]

JNA- they keytones are a carb thing I thought?!? The Krispy kreme will help with that! I almost sent myself into a diabetic coma with those when I was pregnant because we were on a trip and we saw a place that sold them... because you can't get them around here... I ate a whole half dozen by myself for breakfast And the leaking thing... my doc said that was normal... which sucks huh lol apparently when your pregnant your just expected to randomly pee on yourself a little

Older mother- I'm happy your losing weight!!! And I know it stinks staying with other people but your own place will be ready soon right?!?!

Carole- Yay for the neg test!!!! I hope your next one is neg too!

Lover- Payson had her hands up by her stinkin face the whole pregnancy... could never get a good picture! and now she still sleeps like that! I love your scan pics though!
