Due In May :)

A question I was thinking about: I'm 13 weeks now and haven't gained any weight. Maybe a pound here and there, but I don't even know for sure. Each time I go to the doctor they say don't worry that everything's normal. The thing is I eat well, but before being pregnant I used to eat until I got full. Now I don't, just until I'm satisfied because if I get full I get heartburn.

The morning sickness is no longer an issue. Another thing is I was an athlete before being pregnant and did not stop working out. I just have different training goals now, no longer for competition.

Any feedback or similar stories would be appreciated.

I've actually lost weight since becoming pregnant. I haven't had much morning sickness but appetite went right down so I guess that's probably why.

I wouldn't worry too much, I think it's more important to gain during second and third tri as baby's needs are little at the mo

I have only gained about 2 lbs and im sure thats the crap food i ate in the beginning haha If the dr says your fine than i wouldn't worry I have never had morning sickness but im sure it doesnt help keep on weight when your sick all the time

Yes I've only put a pound on too, first tri you don't really put weight on - remember the baby is tiny and weighs nothing! Second tri you'll put on a bit mainly water and the 3rd you'll put the majority on. I put on about 24 pounds (so less than 2 stone) with DD and was back in my normal clothes in 3 weeks. I have to put more weight on this time though to try and fatten the baby up this time though as they think I'm underweight and my DD was tiny for an over due baby

I gained 50 with my son it was insane I ate so bad because i was ridiculous skinny so it didn't matter or so i thought haha I lost about 30 after I had him and never lost the other 20 lol

I've gained about 8 lbs already lol

 

[Hann12]

Everyones different and gains at different times - its not something to worry about I don't think.
I just ate a massive dinner and am FULL!! I think my baby was hungry!
My DD started saying Baba today, so cute!!

 

[pinktiara]

Ya I dont worry about it im going to get huge it happens your pregnant haha I eat as healthy as i can but i will not turn down a hamburger if im craving it lol

I've just had fish and chips like we did last Friday but couldn't eat it all! Didn't help the chips were saltier than the sea!

That and I have been eating the sweets we got for Halloween

Got really annoyed before...7pm and our neighbour banged on the door asking me to turn the tv down. Was as loud as it usually is and had been off for five mins before he showed up. Maybe it's the hormones but I felt so angry after! Think I'm turning into a crazy pregnant lady!

I know there were a few ladies still crossing their fingers for me but I wanted to make it official: my Lil Sweet Pea has joined her brother and sister in heaven (I've assigned genders to them).

Best Wishes to everyone in their pregnancies.

I'm really sorry to hear this, Starry. I was praying for you.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. As long as I'm eating well I should be fine. Is anyone having similar Halloween candy problems? We have lots of leftovers and sometimes they get me on my cravings.

[Hann12]

Sorry to hear that starry, hope you have a rainbow baby when you are ready

 

[Jary]

So sorry starry! Thinking of you

 

[nearlythere38]

star. Baby dust for your rainbow baby.

I'm so sorry, Starry. I know you we're hoping for the best, but expecting the worst, but it doesn't make it any easier. Just have faith and don't lose hope... I had three consecutive miscarriages before this one (hopefully) stayed sticky. Will they do any testing for you now? My doctor empirically treated me with progesterone, baby aspirin and prednisone this pregnancy. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers... I know you'll get your rainbow baby soon!

to everyone else! I wrote two longer posts in two days on my phone and didn't feta chance to post them.. when I got back on my phone, bnb had eaten them! And of course now I don't have a moment to catch up properly...

However, I know there were lots of amazing scans so yay for that! Almost to second tri ladies... well, some of you are already there. I'm counting second tri as 13 weeks so one more week for me! My symptoms seem to have subsided for the most part. My boobs aren't as sore, no sickness, etc. I'm finally starting to feel quite normal. It's a relief, but of course... still freaks me out a bit.

Afm, had my nt scan on Halloween... What a treat for me! Hubs couldn't go so I was crapping it like always, but all looks well with baby. Nuchal fold measurement was 1.0 and baby was moving around. The perinatologist said it was too early to tell gender which is fine as I want to stay Team Yellow anyway. I get my results back in 10 days which would normally try my patience, but I'm so relieved that baby looked good on ultrasound that I'm finding it easier to wait! We are up with the sun (actually before it) this morning as DD has a swim meet so I'll be back on later. Have a lovely day!
