January Jelly Beans 2014!

[Try Rocking]

Thanks ladies! Hakuna talk to your doctor next time, s/he'll have it on their scan results!
I imagine it would be nice to know for sure!

It is getting closer, it's crazy to think that now I'm 14 weeks tomorrow

Ameli I'm trying but it's not working, I seem to need to eat every 2 hours right now. I felt like it was getting better but the last few days have been horrible for my waistline! I'm hoping to start jogging again soon, I just need some energy :\

Looking into the birthing classes at the hospital. So exciting! There's a class that goes through the pain management options, birthing plans, newborn care, and breastfeeding basics. 6 weeks for me and DH. Looks like they fill up fast, so I'm looking now for October-November. It also looks like insurance should at least pay for part of it (It's only $95 to begin with), so that's good.
It'll be time to start reading to our bumps soon! Mine has become obvious in the last few days. Earlier than I expected, but I've only put on a few pounds and NONE of my clothes fit. The doppler has made it obvious that the baby is actually at least part of the bump

Wow try rocking I can see from your ticker that you had lost a lot of weight before getting pregnant! Well done! I'm already overweight so weight gains a concern for me too but as long as we keep an eye on things and try and stay healthy we kind of have to surrender our bodies to the pregnancy! I am going to start swimming for some exercise. Luckily I have lost almost a stone in first trimester due to being sick so at least I can gain a stone now relatively guilt free xx

Doesn't WW have a pregnancy program too? Not saying follow it.. lol. Just curious.

 

[Try Rocking]

They don't have a pregnancy program and I think they prefer if you aren't on it while you're pregnant. I was planning on doing it as long as I could because technically in first tri you don't need to eat any extra calories. I was just going to continue it through and add a few points when I needed it.
Unfortunately this baby is a little piglet and I have never been more hungry in my life! I had to cancel WW for now and I have definitely put on weight because of how hungry I've been but I have to hope my hunger will calm down at some point!
I do plan on going back on WW when I have breastfeeding established and I'm hoping next year I'll hit goal. I was still 27 lbs away from it when I got pregnant.

Thank you xxemmyxx! It's been hard to gain weight after spending 18 months losing it but I know next year I'll be fully back on track. I just have to try and eat healthy as much as possible and remember that I'm growing a baby.
I wish I had lost weight in the first trimester! I had a lot of nausea but I was starving at the same time.

I had only lost 30 lbs when I got pregnant but since I can't breast feed (bc of meds I'm on) as soon as I get the ok after birth am going back on my weigh loss. I am more motivated than ever I want to be healthy for my child not suffer with pain and pills

Try rocking wow is all I can say to your weight loss

 

[Try Rocking]

Thanks! I'm very proud of it, I'm hoping I don't end up putting on too much more weight, I want to be able to lose it all next year and then some!

You'll get there! What were you doing?

 

[goldstns]

When I did WW... like 4 years ago... they did have a preggo one. They gave you more points through out the day.

 

[Try Rocking]

I have heard that they prefer you not to be on and the only type of option I saw that had to do with babies was for breastfeeding.

With how hungry I've been the last few weeks though there's no way I could stay within my points. I'm just going to have to work harder/longer after I have the baby to get rid of the extra weight.


*edit*
I just looked it up to see and this is what I found

TR I first did this program with my boss but it was only shakes I lost 20 then regained 5 soon I realized I couldn't live off of shakes then her husband my other boss told me about the Keto diet basically very low carb which I couldn't really have anyway and i lost 15 with that. Then I got my BFP so decided to enjoy as much as possible but as soon as I can am going back on it I was off all my meds well except RA ones but I was biking about 30 miles a day never been able to do that

I want to be able to play with my baby and teach s/he how to eat healthy, most everyone in my family is over weight I lost my mom at a young age but she never played with us like I see other parents here do I want to be one of those parents not sitting bc I can't

 

[Try Rocking]

That's awesome! Way to go Lucy! It's amazing what we can do when we lose weight!

And I totally agree with you, I want to be more active and healthy for my children. It's already made a huge difference in how I interact with my daughter and I'll only get better! I'm really hoping by the end of 2014 I'll have reached goal or at least be super close. I know I can do it.

 

[horseypants]

Excedrin Tension Headache is actually on my list of safe meds to take during pregnancy. Hope you feel better!

 

[Lucy529]

I have had one all day too

 

[SBinRI]

Doesn't excedrin have aspirin in it?? My doc gave me a prescription for fiorocet (sp) which is like Percocet. Its Tylenol based so safe during preg along with its other ingredients.

 

[SBinRI]

Sorry! The migraine one has aspirin.. not the tension one.

 

[Lucy529]

Do any of you know how many tums we can have if there is a limit? I woke up with horrible heartburn to the point I feel like vomiting I have to work the morning shift today so can't sleep it off any remedies? Please my throat's on fire

 

[SBinRI]

I think i heard 7 but tbh I've always needed way more than that o.o
