Roll-call!! Due June/July/August 2013

[cvd]

Wow... I can't believe your OB is lecturing you over 6 lbs?? Has she not been pregnant before? Is she some super skinny bi*ch that can eat all she wants and stays skinny? I gained 50 lbs with my first and 70 lbs with my second and neither of my OBs said a word. I actually brought it up to them about how I was concerned about the weight gain and they didn't seem to care? She needs to blow it out her arse!!

Yes she is uber skinny actually! She claims that because I am petite it will be an issue later. I really don't care, after the first appt I was worried but since she says it every time I just think she's crazy!

Totally agree Mrs P - everyone puts on weight differently. I never told her about the LE diet but if she knew I'd done that, shed understand the 14 day binge of lasagna and pizza haha!!!! Hence going over the first trimester "5lb max weight gain" she seems to like.

Jadis - that made me laugh out loud haha!!!! It's actually my husband doing that he gets incredible pregnancy sympathy. The way he eats chocolate actually makes my stomach turn, it's honestly disgusting!!!! She should lecture him hehe. Have you went and got anything pink yet???? Cute clothes???

CVD-I think your Dr. is a...wait for a strictly Canadian term here...hoser. I'd pay her no attention! You know what you're eating, you know what you're doing and I doubt that you're sitting around the house all day eating twinkies and slugging back mountain dew.

As for the caffeine discussion, I have 1-2 cups of coffee everyday and a pepsi most evenings. I assume that it's ok as long as I'm not popping caffeine pills and drinking Red Bull.

I'm really excited for all the scans we've got coming up, ladies! Let's see those nub and potty shots!

Well my weight gain has been less than desirable to say the least. I have already gained ~21 lbs. oops, lol. Not terribly worried so long as I don't gain over 45 or 50 lbs. I just feel for me already being a healthy gal it wouldn't be good.

And I have had one cup of decaf the whole pregnancy but loads of chocolate, chocolate milk, diet coke, and root beer. Usually only one a day though. Although today I overloaded as I had choc milk this am with breakfast, a diet coke with lunch, and a choc ice cream bar. Double oops, lol

And to top it off i am nubsessing like crazy! Only 4 days to go. ..or 3 days depending on how you look at it. Very exciting and nerve wracking. I think I might throw up -_-

Oh, I feel ya P4P! Last week, I was staring constantly at my 12 week nub and feeling sick with anxiety. The tortuous wait will be over for you soon, I'm really rooting for you!

Hi ladies!

I'm not pg yet but dropping in to ask anyone that knows their gender to please add your sway into the new stats spreadsheet Rainbow has put together. It's very comprehensive! Let her know when you do and she'll manually update the percentages for you.

Well, I am a petite person as well... all of 5'1" and I managed to lose all 70 lbs + 10 lbs when DS2 was born. She probably eats pizza and drinks Starbucks and thinks that anyone who isn't skinny must be planted on their couch living on McDonalds and Taco Bell. Don't even give her a second thought. I know people like this and they irritate the crap out of me!! Very judgmental and they think they know everything about weight loss and nutrition because one time in college they were 10 lbs over weight so they started drinking diet soda instead of regular and lost their 10 lbs.

Thanks mama! I do have a plan to stop nubsessing these final days. So today is homework day and that should help. Tomorrow church and grocery shopping. Monday is already shot to H#$& as I know I am not going to be able to focus on anything but this scan on Tuesday. Maybe I will start on my second assignment to keep from driving myself bonkers.

[Mrs_P]

oh p4p i know that feeling, i am always so neverous before having a scan, always feel better when i see a heart beat but gender scans really are the worse (i wonder what it would be like to have had a girl first and not to care or have that presure and just be excited to see what you have?)

Hoping you hear pink my dear, i have mine the week after you have yours so will be in your position next week!

Complete pink swaying statistics spreadsheet

Good luck everyone!

I've added mine, I think it's a great tool! I'm very impressed. I would've loved that spreadsheet when I was swaying.

waiting 6+ more months to add mine to the spread sheet

Good luck Praying4pink. I hope all goes well.

CVD- can't believe your ob. Totally agree with the other ladies. My weight gain always slowed right down in the 3rd trimester to a stand still. Surely it's the weight gain as a total over the whole pregnancy she should be looking at if she really wants to find something to do?
