re: August mommies weight gain?
2 postsposted 3rd May
I'm Due August 14th....My pre-pregnancy weight was 120....I wieghed in at 141lbs at my last Doctors appointment! (the doctor doesnt seem concerned though) It's hard for me because I'm in the military and came back from training not very long before I concieved....Before I left for training I was 115lbs....and I went from hardcore training to feeling basically helpless when it comes to excersizing, plus the fact that I've never wieghed so much in my life! my body is aching....
Oh and on that topic...My muscles feel like i just ran a marathon, is there anything I can do to help this? I've tried stretching but it doesnt seem to help..

i know what all you ladies mean haha! Everyone says they can't tell i've gained weight but i'm like um yeah prepregnancy i weighted in at 125-130 and am up to 154 , my doctor seems happy since i'm 5'9 and i've been gaining at a steady rate. but i'm still super upset everytime i realize how much i weigh - i just remind myself that eventually my baby man will be here and i'll be allowed to lose it all haha!

first of all yea i stopped looking at how much weight i've gained! when i go in i just turn my head and ask for her not to tell me. last i checked when i was 19 weeks (23 almost 24 now) i had gained 20 lbs..but no morning sickness ever! that is why.... and yea i have started my birth plan..my best friend said that its best to make one and go over it with your doc pre labor..because you will more than likely forget it and def don't rely on the guy to do it! lol.....

IMO but the hubby is still being sweet and telling me I look good. I feel like I'm waddling most of the time and I can't run with the kids anymore because I have a really sore lower stomach and lower back. I am so ready for the end of July. She better not decide to be overdue. I'll walk 10 miles and force her out. Or at least try. Thank you all for your replies.

hah. i've gained about 45 lbs with this pregnancy. which is good.. cause i started out at 98lbs so i needed this weight gain to have a healthy baby. unlike my first one.. with him i only gained about 12 lbs. and he was born three month early and very very tiny. so i'm not gonna complain about gaining a lot of weight with this one. i'd rather gain weight and she be healthy then to have to go through with what i went with my first..

I dont think I am going for the birth plan. I feel like it almost never works out the way you want it to so I decided my birth plan is that the baby comes out healthy - no matter the method. But the one thing I do know is I WANT THE DRUGS! LOL. I cant imagine a "natural" birth, Im just not that tough

Bother, I say. Even if things don't go the way you "plan" (which they won't), a birth plan helps you to determine your hopes and desires for the labor/birth/recovery, therefore you'll be more likely to get what you need for yourself and baby when the situation arises. These aren't decisions you want to make/consider on the fly! Plus, if you have particular issues, you can go over them ahead of time and find out if there will be a problem with them.
I'm due the 14th, so I'm almost 27 weeks, and have gained about 26 pounds. I was flipping out fora while but kind of am okay with it now, I eat pretty healthy and walk a lot, and my body is doing what it needs to do for baby. I know I'll loose it after, for now I may as well enjoy my lovely, curvy baby body.
I finished the walls in the nursery and now am starting in on the furniture and bedding

I almost wish I had this problem! My baby boy doesnt move at all! I think I feel him move maybe once a day and even though my dr says hes perfecly healthy, it still worries me all the time that something is wrong. Even when I provoke him to move he doesnt. I want an active baby that moves all the time so I dont have to worry all the time. Especially that Im 6 months now and I should be feeling constant moving!But when my friend was pregnant with her boy he moved ALL THE TIME as well and there was almost nothing she could do about it. She even got some permission to take some night-time cold medicine (like Robatussin Night-time) so I would ask your dr about that; butthat helped hera little bit. But as for me... I must have the laziest child in the world!
