Any one else terrified of the weight gain? This is my second and I haven't even lost all the baby weight from my first and I'm heavier this time. I doubt I will be taking many bump pictures and posting them on Facebook this time! Ugh!

It doesn't help that I've been craving carbs these first few weeks. Baby is priority though so weight will just have to wait, but I'm already dreading how I'm going to look.
 
Camp: I'm also terrified of gaining weight! My mother was skinnier than me before kids. She had 4 of us and never lost the weight. She is now over 200 lbs, and it really affects her health. I was eating at a deficit before, and I was just 1-2lbs away from my goal. I'm still tracking calories, but I upped my target a bit. Definitely want to make sure the baby gets what it needs! I'm hoping I can stay healthy, put on just the right amount, and then work hard to lose it after.
 
Campn, I didn't lose all of my baby weight last time either, and the 1st tri bloat I'm experiencing this time is depressing. Once I've got a baby bump, I won't mind so much, and once the nausea goes, I'll be making an effort to eat better and be more active. Plus I hope to breastfeed again, and hopefully for longer this time - that really helped.

Hope - glad the meds are helping, just think, you're in the same rare group as Kate Middleton who experienced the bad hg! (Which probably does NOTHING to make you feel any better at the moment!)
A couple of my mommy friends also had to be hospitalised with it, and they've got beautiful babies now. I keep everything crossed that it tails off in 2nd tri. Lovely to hear about the scan!
 
Hopie- so glad you had such an amazing experience and are feeling a bit better. They do say that once you see the heartbeat the odds of miscarriage go way down. That helped me get some peace and I hope it's helps you too!

I'm not too concerned about gaining weight, but I'm trying to be healthy since I moved somewhere everyone drives. I hate the sedentary lifestyle, but try to take my dog for long walks in the neighborhood, walk a lot at work, and hope to start prenatal yoga as soon as this cold goes. My sister was always worried about her weight and had a goal of getting back into a bikini after 3 months after her pregnancy, and has been disappointed ever since. So I'm trying to temper my expectations. Everything in moderation. The most important thing is that the baby is getting what he needs.

The cold picked up steam a bit, but at least I'm not running a fever. Being sick in pregnancy is the worst! I remember last time having an important meeting very early in pregnancy (I hadn't told anyone) that I could not skip. My nose kept running, I was coughing all the time, and everyone was looking at me like "Why doesn't she just take some cold medicine already!" Well, now I manage a whole lot of people and can't stay home. Hopefully I'll feel better after the holiday.
 
Hopie- so glad that everything looks ok. Hopefully that will give you some peace of mind as I imagine worrying about those things whilst trying to deal with extreme ms is awful. I hope you start to get some relief from it soon.

I'm not really concerned with how much weight I'll put on either. I talked last week about being heavier than I want to be now but I'm still a size 8 with a healthy BMI, so it's not really a concern (although my jeans are tight with the bloating now) I'm just going to try and have a healthy diet as much as I can, baby is priority, I can deal with my ass (whatever the size) after their arrival....at some point!
 
I'm trying not to focus on weight gain. I have had three unsuccessful pregnancies in 2.5 years plus this one so the impact of that hasn't been great on my body, I struggled to lose weight after my last loss so I am already heavier that I am comfortable with but I am going to try not to look at my weight and just concentrate on eating well and having treats in moderation. Xxx
 
Weight gain doesn't bother me either, although I'm doing slimmibg world to make sure I'm a healthy bmi to give babe the best possible chance.
All I care about is getting him/here safely- I can worry about weight after wards.

Anyone suffering rlp already? Not sure if it's because ive had so many babies in pregnancies, or the fact that ive had them in quick succession lately.
 
Put me on the sex dreams list! In my dream, DH and I were somewhere where you could rent a tiny room that was barely private. Well, I was all over him, but he kept ordering more fried chicken. Finally, I just said, "DH, I want to have sex!". DH tried to talk me down, saying he wanted to wait until the next ultrasound, ask the doctor, make sure it was okay. I was so frustrated, but I knew he was right.

Well, woke up with this cold raging, bloated from eating chicken soup all day and the last thing I wanted was sex. Pregnancy is so weird!

Haha 🙈 too funny.

I'm just not sleeping at all last few nights. Ive always been a terribly sleeper, but been even worse since I'm pregnant.

Could quite happily go to bed for a few hours. 😴
 
Hi ladies. I wasn't going to join this thread until I was a little more confident that this little one was here to stay but I want to enjoy every minute I have with him/her so trying not to dwell on the fact so many things point toward bad outcome. Some of you are on other threads I am on so know what's going on but for those of you that dont..

I was sure I was pregnant right after conception this month, I have very strong gut instincts. Took a test at 14 dpo and got a super super faint line. Started bleeding at 15 dpo, figured CP. Well bleeding lasted 2 days and never got heavy and no cramps or clots. Thought it was weird but wouldn't be the first weird AF I've had. So I figured I was onto cycle 10..

Planned to go drinking Saturday night but something was telling me not to. So fmu I took a frer and to my surprise a light second line showed up! It was light but 100% there. Tried to go see a doctor but no one was open that would see me with no notice. So I went home. My temp has been really down so I started taking some progesterone cream I had on hand just for peace of mind. Temp just went up again a little today so I am hoping and praying this bean sticks but I am a realistic person and know there is a good chance it wont. So I have decided to just enjoy being pregnant TODAY and try not to worry about tomorrow.

So that's my big rambling story. I am 5+1 today due September 18th (which is my late grandma's birthday!) Hope you don't mind me joining for as long as I can <3
 
Gina - welcome! I hope your little bean sticks :hugs:

I am also terrified of weight gain - but tbh with my daughter I went NUTS eating really crappy food - loads of ice cream was the worst of it - I thought "I'm pregnant, who cares??" well this time I definitely plan to be way more mindful of what I eat and to continue to work out (lightly, of course). My goal is to gain 5lbs of fat maximum. Last time I gained 15lbs of fat. I haven't gotten a single pound off and I think I have gained some. I really can't afford to blow up this time. If it happens, it happens...but I am going to be way more careful this time.

I am 4+1 today and I am starting to feel more optimistic. I am way behind a lot of you, I am still taking tests and waiting for bloodwork to be taken tomorrow, these early days are the hardest.
 
Here is my progression so far- 12 to 15dpo :) I am 15dpo today.

I feel worried about weight gain and guilty because I feel like I'm not eating healthy enough. I'm really trying, but the morning sickness is making it so hard to make well rounded choices. I'm going to go grocery shopping today and try to find some healthy things that I'll be willing to eat.
 
Would you please remove me from the list?

Unfortunately I have experienced false positive pregnancy tests. This morning I took my 3rd test of a Target store brand and received an invalid result so I looked it up and almost every review says the brand gave them false positives or invalid results so I exchanged them this morning for a FRER and it's a BFN.

I'm upset but not giving up hope. I am feeling very good about being pregnant but I'm not sure when I'll get my BFP just yet. Maybe I'll be back to this group or maybe it'll end up being the October one whenever I get my BFP.

Thanks you guys. Best of luck to you all. :hugs:
 
Gina love :hugs: so glad to see your positivity. Whatever the outcome I'm always here hoping for the best for you!

Hopie - I'm just absolutely thrilled to see your good news. Hope the meds help and you feel better soon!

amour - I'm so sorry you're going through this! How frustrating and confusing! I hope those who know are understanding and supportive when they hear the news. Please know that it is ok to grieve. Even if it never really was, it was real to you and your family while that line still showed. Lots of love and all the best to you :hugs:

Psy - Wish I could send you my extra digital since I won't need it. Also I've been going through the exact same routine. Asleep early, and up before DH needing to pee and eat. One morning I was really hungry but also really nauseated and nothing sounded good. I just curled up next to him and cried. Now I keep saltines by the bed and DH gets up with me and makes me breakfast. I could get used to this :thumbup:
 
Armour - I'm so sorry, how awful for you. I hope you get your bfp soon :hugs:

Does anyone have any tips for morning sickness? I am really struggling and am just being pathetic, laying on the sofa all day. I've got ginger biscuits, have sips of water, lollipops and a hot water bottle but nothing helps and i feel terrible all day. I've just ordered some pressure bands, so i'm hoping they help. I want to enjoy this but am feeling crap, emotional and alone :haha:
 
My friend who suffered really bad ms said the pressure bands work wonders! I have also heard eat every 15 mins to half hour or so. Like a few crackers all the time. My mom said she went through a whole strip of Ritz crackers every day to keep the morning sickness away. Hope something helps
 
I have the pressure bands and they have definitely been helping. I still feel starving all of the time. I think the eating small amounts often helps.
 
Thanks ladies :) Hopefully the pressure bands will work for me too. And I can stomach crackers, so will try that too
