Maxim I'm so sorry to hear you have bleeding again [emoji853] this is not going easy for you at all! Agree with the others (and youself) with plenty of rest and see how things stand at your appt in a couple days. I hope so much you hear good news that takes some of the scare out of the bleeding. You may be in for a pregnancy with regular spotting/bleeding but it would be nice to know in advance if that's going to be the case [emoji53] hugs xxoo
Kat I got constipated badly once with ds2. It was the most uncomfortable feeling ever!!!! I felt like crying and honestly I'd put it on par with what I imagine birthing is like (but from the back bum instead of front [emoji23]) I'm sure I even felt contractions [emoji23][emoji23] In all serious, I ate a heap of prunes and had something else that didn't help and ended up with an otc laxative that the pharmacist advised was safe to take at my gestation (I was 19 weeks at the time)
Big hugs Kat, LMSM and Srg [emoji173] You ladies are amazing and your daughters will grow into amazing women because of you!
Ash I've just decided to hell with worrying about the weight! This is our last pregnancy (well definately mine) so lets just enjoy it and whatever food comes with enjoying it [emoji3] we can always lose weight but we will never experience pregnancy again [emoji173]
Sky I am absolutely on pins and needles waiting to hear how your scan goes!!!! I will be stalking ridiculously for updates! Can I ask you to post in facebook first as my Tapatalk notifications aren't working and my facebook notifications are instant [emoji3] I knw I'm being selfish asking you to do that but I literally cant wait [emoji16]
Bluebooties are you getting nervous?

Blue I haven't taken my glucose yet I think it's around 28weeks isn't it?
Pbn I've thought about having this mindset it's certainly so much easier but it's hard just for the fact I was so fit and muscular before starting the le diet I'll post you a pic I ran across of my progress from 2w pp with ds4 till just before the le diet. It's just so hard seeing all my hard work go to shits after I told myself I would have a fit healthy pregnancy. So much easier said than done

Ash, I feel you....I'm always hungry and typically eat very healthy, but not craving my normal foods and then the inability to move around really doesn't help! I don't even want to know how much weight I've gained so far.... You do look great, though! And remember that it comes off!
I'm going to have a crazy day today, so won't be on much...I'll update after my appointment tomorrow. I have a 10am with the genetic/NIPT doctor and then off to my OB afterwards. Will let you know afterwards.
Sooo much to say!
Ash - I'm with ya on weight! And I'll be with you getting it off. I have to have junk food and healthy food. I just do. I LOVE food when pregnant so weight is a struggle. I'm not going out of control but I won't completely deny myself either. I do try to eat a light lunch and it makes me nauseous all afternoon so I chew gum and that helps. Just do the best you can,don't splurge all the time but treat yourself and you will get back. I'll hold you accountable afterwards! I'm up 10 pounds at 19 weeks and that's trying pretty hard which is frustrating. I'm still working out pretty hard, but now instead of running an easy 8:45/9 minute mile I'm doing a hard 10/10:30 minute mile and EVERYTHING jiggles when I exercise [emoji30] I know I'm tall/thin but it's still hard having my body change and it's does I promise!!
LSMS - you eat very healthy [emoji1316]
Sky/Blue - so excited for you to go to scan. Mine is the 18th and I'm very anxious to know everything's ok [emoji1374]
Blue - I just feel this is your boy!! I really hope I'm right.
Max - join FB when you can!
Lola - the storm came through here to but thankfully no damage!! We are heading to the beach, Florida, next week so hoping all the others stay away!!

maxibella-I didn't find the heartbeat until 12 or 13 weeks with my doppler and it was very low like along my pubic line. You do have to push and wasn't isn't very loud at first.
Kat1234-just ignore the comments. I've gotten quite a few gender comments and I'm already coming up with some good come backs for when she comes and strangers say stuff in public about trying to a boy. My favorite so far is "this one is a boy I just really wanted a girl." I usually deck my girls out in the girliest of clothes so theres no mistaking gender, except that one old lady in the grocery store once thought my daughter in her pink stroller and pink outfit was an adorable little boy.
Ash-I just leave the weight gain up to the pregnancy gods lol. I never eat just because. I eat when I'm hungry and I gain what I gain. My first I gained 45 lbs, my 2nd I gained 35 lbs, and this pregnancy I'm 19 weeks and have gained 2 lbs but I'm overweight this time around so I'm not complaining but I was also sick until 16 weeks. I also lost 13 lbs in the month and a half before getting pregnant by dieting but I had to stop all that. I still drink mostly water throughout the day and try not to splurge on junk food too much but I really love chocolate!
Thanks ladies I think I just need to focus on more healthy treat foods when hungry like apples or banana and pb. I didn't gain anything for about 8 weeks now I'm packing I like none other so I think that makes it hard. Im already up 20 in 22weeks [emoji52].
Kat I was running a half before I started the le diet and I lost so much muscle tone I could hardly run a mile in 11 minutes once I finally got my Bfp. I definitely am going to start back after this baby comes. Dh had already given me full support and said he'd keep the kids so I can have run time lol he thinks it's sexy to run I guess [emoji23] or he just really wants me to get fit again!

Ash - sorry you are struggling with weight. I have not gained anything this pg (was over weight before), but it is not because I am trying. I am NEVER hungry. And if I eat too much, I am so sick the rest of the day. I rarely eat dinner and it really bothers my DH. He is so concerned. But I am still at my heaviest weight ever, so I think my body is just adjusting. HUGS Eat when you need to in order to feel good. I am still battling MS and will for the rest of the pg. :( Oh, and praying you stay healthy and no one else gets the tummy bug.
kat, LMSM, srg - HUGS to you all. I know first hand how hard it is to hear the opposite gender of your desire. Hang in there and I have to say, you all have beautiful little girls!!! :D
Max - hope you don't over do it today. Rest as much as you can and I can't wait to hear how the appointment goes.
Lola - glad you are safe and doing well.
Pbn3 - Hi ;)
Blue - looking forward to your scan on the 21st!!!
Sky - one more day :D
Everyone else - HUGS and hello
Thank you everyone. Tomorrow morning is the scan. I got my test results for the second trimester blood work and everything looks fine. Thank god. It didn't have the gender since I opted out. [emoji4] I am relieved to know that one part is good. Just keeping 🤞for scan tomorrow. Dh is still insisting on finding out and I will let u all know if I won't be able to resist. I honestly don't have high hopes or may be this is my way of preparing myself.
Kat,Srg,LMSM - I truly honestly know that feeling and the guilt that comes with it though it's only natural
to feel what we feel with gd. I still feel horrible because I felt it with dd and she is best thing happened to me. She is everything I ever wanted to be. I don't want to carry the same guilt all over again especially now when I don't even have such high hopes and I feel that two girls will be as much fun as a boy and a girl. May be more. We won't have more kids but my reasons for this pregnancy were to get a sibling for my daughter. And she would get that anyway irrespective of the gender. I felt very strongly that my gd with dd was more because of the fact that I knew the gender without a beautiful baby in my arms. That's why I feel I shouldn't find out this time. We will see. [emoji52] You ladies are amazing and so positive. LMSM, I love what you said about Mother Nature choosing the dd for you. ❤️❤️ I know all our babies will bring nothing but unlimited love and joy in our lives. So, we should feel what we are feeling and then start getting excited about the next stage together. Hugs ❤️
Ash - I am surprised to see the transformation in your pictures. You must have worked so hard. I haven't gained any weight so far in this pregnancy since I was overweight to begin with and after being diagnosed with gd, I am eating better than ever before in my life so it's the best worst thing happened to me. I feel so light irrespective of my big belly. And I must say that everything LMSM said is what we follow in our gd diet. Apple with nut butter is the best and healthiest snack to have. We are advised to pair protein to anything we eat and ever since I started doing that, my numbers have been great. I am not allowed to skip snack or get hungry so I always have my snack whenever I step out of the house. My favorite snack is cuties (I am allowed 3 at one time) and soaked nuts and peanuts. I have substituted sugar with Splenda and don't even have to walk after my meals. I don't eat our usual Indian homemade bread instead I eat whole grain one with 13g or 9g carb per slice. I eat pizza without the crust and my numbers are great. I eat a lot of chicken. And the days when I do eat more carbs, I do an at home pregnancy workout and it's only 12 min but helps me get my heart rate up and get good numbers at sugar test. I can share the link though I am sure you all have way more experience in workouts than I do. [emoji4] Hope it helps. The best thing to do is have three meals and 3 snacks throughout the day as per my nutritionist. And drink plenty of water.
Lolla- So glad that you guys are all safe. Praying for those affected. How are you and boys doing? Your scan is a days after mine ❤️❤️ [emoji4][emoji4]
Can't wait to see the pics.
Kat - I take iron since I am aneamic and used to be constipated in the beginning and that was not a good feeling but I am doing a little better now though I changed nothing except drinking a lot of water. I drink water even when I wake up in the middle of the night. It's good for my blood sugar and helped me with my constipation too. My OB asked me to take any otc probiotic but I didn't since I didn't like reading about the risks. [emoji52]
Max - Hugs honey. Like everyone said take rest until the appointment. I know it's hard and frustrating and I pray that you get to hear all good things on the appointment and can start moving around like before in no time. 🤞🤞❤️❤️
Pbn - Thank you. I will be sure to update on fb as well as here. ❤️❤️
Bluebooties- I am praying with all my heart that you hear a boy. Can't wait for your scan. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Mommaxo3 - I love your answer. I am going to borrow that too if this one is a girl and people say things without using any filters as always. I heard horrible comments from my own relatives even though dd was our first baby and just because my siblings have all girls. Can you believe that?
Shannshaff- Sorry about the MS. I can't even imagine how hard that must be for you. I complain about my gestational diabetes only to feel ashamed that you have been going through such a hard time and yet always cheering everyone. I truly hope u get some break from the MS. Hugs.
I hope I didn't miss anyone my friends. I feel funny in my belly thinking about the scan tomorrow. [emoji12][emoji12] 24 hrs and 20 min to go. [emoji51][emoji51]

Yuck Ash, Praying it is quick and you can feel ok enough to take care of the kiddos. :(
Put on a movie for them and pray they don't get into too much trouble.
Blue-woohoo that's next week!!!! [emoji322]Praying you hear boy & I totally get how you'll feel with that envelope in your hand, but geez you sure make beautiful girlies!!!
Ash-you're starting out fit, so that will help you in the long run!
Max-can't wait to hear about your appt!
Kat-eek, didn't realize the storm went through your way! Glad there wasn't any damage! Did you lose power? Hope your FL vaca is still on!!
It was back to work for me today after a 5 day weekend! Hard to get back into a routine...luckily it's almost Friday again haha. I had a nightmare last night where they gave me an epidural instead of a spinal for my c-section & I wasn't getting numb...I was freaking out thinking they were going to cut me open when I wasn't numb. No one was talking to me or answering me...lol. Glad to wake up phew!!
Of course I missed some posts...my feed didn't refresh...
Momma-I've had old ladies think my DS2 in his blue outfit was a girl lol.
Shann-Hope the MS eventually eases up...that's a long time to feel blah!!
Sky-almost scan day yippeee & of course more prayers [emoji1374] Yay for good bw results! Oooo, can't wait to hear if you decide to find out gender!!! You have been doing such an awesome job of controlling gd...you sound super healthy!!
Ash-oh no, sorry you got it too...hope it passes quickly!!!!
Sky tons of sticky blue dust and lots of prayers u hear boy. U said DH knows a hint at gender. If he is "insisting" then i think there are good chances ul hear boy 🤞
Thank you for the compliment lolabelle !
Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
Thank you ladies. I m feeling excited/worried/nervous and a lot more. [emoji52]
Bluebooties- I tried hard to read dh but he won't budge. [emoji23] He is so good at keeping secret. I didn't think men had it in them. He doesn't even tease me and that makes me feel that it's a girl and he doesn't want to tempt me incase he had to tell me. Like I said before, my mind plays games on me. [emoji52]Anyway he still insists on finding out and says that he is going to be happy either way. So
I am happy that one of us would know. His next question was what would he do when he knows the gender and he wants to shop for the baby. I told him that he needs to hide it from
me but I don't know if I will be able to resist. 🤷🏻*♀️

18 more hours. 🤞🤞Sorry for bugging you all. This day couldn't be any longer. Lolla, I will be counting hours for you this time tomorrow and then days for bluebooties and Kat. Oh my my. What a week ladies.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Ash – you did it once, you will do it again – enjoy your pregnancy, the weight will come off eventually ;)
Can’t wait to hear about your scans ladies!!
Sky – great the bloods were good :) I am pretty sure it’s a boy, the tech wouldn’t have guessed that early otherwise, as if the nub is boyish at that gestation it won’t go down – but if it’s flat it can still go up – so FX it’s your boy, am sure it will be ;) there’s bound to be SOME success with the HE diet and some blue bundles!! I can’t to help to wonder why we have had such poor results though when pink swayers have had way more success?!
Thinking of you all – I am just exhausted, feel like I’m hung over haha ( and my skin is appalling, MS is back – why oh why??!) :( – so will, for once, be brief now ;)
That's going to be at about 4.30am my time!! I will be stalking the moment I wake up [emoji3]Quote:

Good luck with everyone's appointments tomorrow!
I have one tomorrow as well, but for a papsmear. Then going to see if maybe I can convince her into a ultrasound to see if I'm actually ovulating or not. Although I bet she will make me come in next cycle instead.

Lola - Yes, it came through AL but we were on the west of it so it wasn't as bad. Schools were closed Monday though. Delayed on Tuesday. On another note about your dream, I did have an epidural with my first csection bc they didn't know at the time I would end up having a csection and I wasn't completely numb and it was painful/very hard!! Needless to say, I was SO scared going into my 2nd csection and it was great, didn't feel a thing. Hands down the second best day of my life only next to my wedding day. Hoping birth of #3 will follow suit!! Crazy birth stories [emoji51]

Sky-you NEVER bug us!!! I understand that nervous feeling very well!! That will be me tomorrow night!! Just so much on the mind...
LMSM-more MS ugh, hope it doesn't last long for you!!
Mommy-good luck with your appt too!
Kat-so glad the storm wasn't bad where you are! Life in SC seems to have resumed as usual-no damage in my area, but the historic downtown area in my city got the flooding pretty bad! As far as your 1st c-section, just wow...it was my biggest fear that I would feel pain, but I felt nothing both times, just pressure. Can't imagine going through it the way you did feeling pain [emoji15]I'm sure that your 3rd will be great just like your 2nd. As you know, the planned c-sections with a spinal are not bad! The epidural is meant to stay in long term & can be regulated, but going into the epidural space... doesn't always numb perfectly/completely...sometimes on just one side. The spinal goes directly into the spinal sac & numbs immediately (as you know). I didn't know how a c-section would feel with an epidural, but the thought makes me nervous, even in my dreams(nightmares) lol.
Me too bluebooties! Thank you!
