I can't believe you are that far along already! I am sure everything is going fine. It is nice to get reassurance, isn't it?

I just got my 12 week u/s booked. I thought they did the CVS at that same Dr. but they don't, and apparently the only Dr. who does it in my whole state is 6 hours away!! I have to decide if I will be okay with the 12 week scan or if I want the CVS... I don't really want to drive that far!

[Mochagirl]

That's a long drive! Personally, I would wait to get the results from my 12 week u/s and if there are any abnormalities or concerns, then I might consider the CVS. How many weeks are you again? You need a ticker!

Can't wait to hear how your scan goes Mocha!!

I have lost a kilo already since falling pregnant. I am not a skinny person (size 14) so I guess I can afford to lose a little weight? Is it "safe" to lose kilos whilst pregnant? I am not trying to lose any although am walking daily for around 40 minutes to keep myself healthy during the pregnancy. I seem to have lost my appetite since falling pregnant, think my whole metabolism has just come to a halt?! My bowel movements are not that often like they used to be and my appetite is minimal. Maybe it is a BIG surge in progesterone as my boobs are SO sore, have gone up 2 sizes already and I am already leaking milk!!!!

I think a lot of women lose weight in the first trimester. I'm definitely not one of them - I'm already close to 10 lbs heavier than when I got my BFP! I think it's worse after following the LE diet, though, because we eat so very little and really are starving ourselves, then suddenly we can eat anything we want! I'm still not up to my pre-diet weight, so I guess that's ok. I can still *just* squeeze into my skinny jeans, but a couple of times I've had to use the hair elastic button hole trick. I'm kind of dreading this weekend because my whole family is getting together for my Dad's birthday, and I just know they'll notice the weight gain (my weight loss last summer was very dramatic and caused a LOT of curiosity among them) and guess that I'm pregnant again. I kind of wish I could have scheduled my u/s for before my trip because then maybe I could have headed off all their suspicions and just told them I'm pregnant.

I am only 4 weeks 4 days or something like that... time is crawling by for me!

That is a good idea, I think I will wait and see what they think at the 12 week u/s. It is times like these that I wish we lived in a bigger place, so there were more medical options.

I have a friend who lost weight during the first trimester because she was a little heavy to begin with, and in the end, all she gained was 10 lbs! Everything was fine. SHe left the hospital lighter than before she got pregnant!

I was sort of hoping I would lose a few lbs myself--I got so fat on that boy diet!

[TTC5]

Yes I got fat too Hobbers!!
