I am still heavier than I'd like, but I really wanted to be preggers so I'll deal with the weight later. I'm going to try to moderately excersise (like walk around the block, just relaxing stuff) and maybe some prenatal yoga type stuff for relaxation (I can be really stress-y type, if ya'll haven't noticed!) and I'm hoping to put only 20 lbs or less, but baby comes first....
I don't understand why the OB would berate you about your weight as long as it wasn't hurting the baby? My OB is so relaxed, I love him. I love that he's a guy too, he's so cool about everything that it helps keep me calm during pregnancy, you know what I mean? I visited him in Nov. for an annual woman's exam and told him about my plans to TTC. He said, "if you want another one, go right ahead, it's better to get it over now." I don't know why, but dummy that I am, I mentioned my weight, he just shrugged and said, "So? You can lose it later." I love that attitude!
I hope you do find a good provider soon, and it sucks about how few are willing to do VBAC. My OB said I could do a VBAC but with my previous history he advised against it because of head size. My kids usually have very round big heads that my birth canal can't handle. I blame hubby, all his fault!
anyway, hugs Jamie, have you had any symptoms yet? my only two so far are the pretty consistent dull achiness (esp. from my left ovary area) and indigestion, feeling the need to burp a lot, or not feeling like food is digesting quite right. Ugh...i think its way too early for the indigestion, but it's here, whether I want it to or not, LOL.
Has anyone else been obssessing about gender already? LOL
