| Re: I'm Pregnant, so who else is too. I am very anxiously awaiting baby #1. I'm 18 weeks pregnant and it's been awful, LOL. Seriously though, it could be worse I guess, but I'm still having morning sickness and as of last week, I've lost 20 lbs so far during this pregnancy. Luckily, I can stand to lose some weight, but it's unsettling to be so much smaller (even though my tummy is not getting any smaller).
My cravings are mostly Chipotle chicken fajita burritos and chicken & broccoli from the local Chinese food place.
I find out next Thursday if I'm having a boy or a girl. I'm kind of hoping for a girl, BUT my husband really wants a boy (if we have a boy, it will be a big deal b/c this will be the first grandson for his parents), so it really doesn't matter. Good luck with your pregnancies ladies!!

Originally Posted by sydmar03 ...Before I got pregnant I had just lost 70 lbs on weight watchers then bam I'm pregnant which I'm not at all mad about we was trying. But I finally enjoyed a summer wearing a size 8 compared to size 18-20. | I lost 85 lb before I got pregnant with #1, a year before we started trying, I was 228 lb and a size 18. I lost 85 lb in 2 years time and got down to 142 lb and a size 6-8. I spent a year tring to gain weight, 2 years TTC. I was so happy to get pregnant because I realized I had lost too much weight for my frame and I hadnt been able to gain weight back, I was happiest when I was about 160 and about a size 10. Then when I got pregnant I was so sick and lost weight and thought I would never gain any! Finally did gain the weight for the pregnancy but still wore the same jeans(unbuttoned towards the end) even to the hospital, all the weight I gained while pregnant went to my belly. After I had her food tasted so good again and I couldnt control myself  and besides, everyone says you lose weight while breastfeeding (dangit, you guys!!!!). Of course they also say BFing acts as a birth control(to some extent), well..... I got pregnant again when she was 7 months old (she just turned 11 months today)<we werent trying *not to*>, and I have been up to 200 lb (gained 23 lb since I gave birth) and a size 14  since she was probably about 4 months. so I am sure by the time I have this baby I will be all the way back up to my high weight of 228. *sigh* I havent weighed myself since I've been pregnant this time, I've been eating but still wearing the same size 14 jeans.

| Re: I'm Pregnant, so who else is too. I am so happy that everyone is sharing their experiences with pregnancy. Some of you gals are going through more than I could ever imagine, but we are strong women and we always make a great comeback.

| Re: I'm Pregnant, so who else is too. I am due April 30, my third boy! Almost 8 months now, and the fatigue has really set in (which full time school and a sick baby are not helping!). I had the really bad morning sickness, and migraines at the beginning (with all my pregnancies), and am thankful that is gone! We were hoping for a girl, but I am relieved, because I saved all my stuff from my second child (he is almost 2), so I am really pretty set! With the first child it was really nice, because my twin sister had a baby (she has 3 boys too), 8 months before me, so she handed everything down to me, then after I was done, she had a another boy, so I handed it right back to her, and that has how it has worked for us, definitely money saving! I am thankful this time I am not gaining huge amounts of weight, my second child was 6 lb 10oz and when I left the hospital I was only 5 lbs lighter! |

| Re: I'm Pregnant, so who else is too. This thread could not have come at a better time!! Thank you for posting it! I am pregnant w/ my first child (in the 4th month) and *knock on wood* was only nausea for a bit, although waffles and syrup made me make a run for the bathroom and just stand there....UGH. I suffer from migraines to begin with and now they are worse. Anyone know what that is all about? As for cravings....I can't say that I am aware that I have had them (yet). I've always had cravings for foods at odd times to begin with ....so now I have no idea if it's me, or the baby. I seem to have developed "super hearing" as my BF's snoring is now drilling through my head, and I sleep w/ ear plugs....UGH......
I'm in the process of trying to find a real doctor as I have been dealing with a clinic in my area and I am not happy with them there at all!
If anyone happens to know of a good one in the Forked River/Manahawkin/Toms River, NJ area, please let me know. I am in search of a female, and without an accent...ONLY b/c I have a horrible time understanding accents, especially when it comes to something that I have NO idea about!
I am so happy this thread is here!!

| Re: I'm Pregnant, so who else is too. Shortstack411 April 30th my DD b-day so that day will be perfect.
Hi ladies, I went in for my first dr appt today and there is only one in there. I am on track with my weeks (6) and due date is officially 10/19. I was so happy to see the little heartbeat that looked like a little grain of sand  Since I've had 3 previous c-sections she suggested that I have the baby 2 weeks in advance of that date or if I go into labor before hand she would do an emergency c-section. I've always wanted a large family (6 kids to be exact) but from the way she's talking I might have to stop at #4, which is fine with me. I'm starting to get older (like I can help that) and I want to be able to enjoy my retirement age (DH & I) w/o children in the house.
After I had my 3 third child I either sold or gave away all the baby stuff that I've gotten over the past 6 years. So now I have to start all over again buying everything. Thank goodness for consignment shops and yard sales. I love finding good deals on little baby clothes, with a good washing they are like new. Who else shops at these types of places for their little ones. One thing I definitly would not buy used is the car-seat. I read that it could be dangerous to buy one used, cuz you don't know if they've been in an accident or not.
What are y'all thought on a baby shower for a 4th time expectant mother  My friend asked me how I felt about having one for. I told her I didn't mind, since we are in a different state that only people that we've met since being here will be at it. DH and I family live 6 hrs and more away, so I know they wont be coming.
Please everyone tell me what you think.
