I ALWAYS gain 40 pounds while pregnant ... however for my height (5ft1) I should really only gain 25 or so my midwife says. This time around I started off 10 pounds heavier than before my daughter and I really am going to try and stick to that 25 pound mark. I don't know how people do that though? Lol
My babies are usually almost 9 pounds!

I'm 5'2"!! So I'm super conscious about my weight cuz 10 lbs extra looks like 30 on me.. [emoji849][emoji849]

I gained 35 with my daughter and took the whole two years to take it off. I finally got down to pre-pregnancy like THE WEEK the iui worked LOL of course. But I'm happy I got down even though I didn't look the same, babies change everything..

So I'll be happy if I can keep it to 35 this time too. At most. I started at regular bmi as well which helps.

They do it by staying active (usually lots of walking) and not eating for two. In most cases, the massive weight gain comes from free for all type of eating which is instilled in our culture, mainly foods that aggravate insulin resistance, which pregnant women are prone to during 3rd tri. I didn't even bother looking at the scale with DD, I had NO idea how much I gained lol. I didn't have food aversions with her though nor did I have this yucky nausea, but I ate like crap before I got pregnant and continued doing so during pregnancy.

Speaking of different symptoms. I talked to my midwife today and she said that a different gender and/or a different partner can most definitely be the cause of my very different symptoms this time around. So yes, genes do play a role as I suspected.

Question: Did any of you experience headaches or migraines during the 12th and 13th week? I've had a migraine for 2 days now and its a killer it gets weaker at some point of the days, but it is there and threatening to get stronger on and off. I'm wondering if its the transfer to placenta happening?

YESSSSS a million times yes I had a headache for 6 days straight. Called my doctor and they just said to drink pop... I'm like I never had caffeine before!!! It's not about caffeine!

Talked to my doc in my next appt and she just said eat more drink more water and drink caffeinated pop or coffee.. ZERO help.. [emoji849][emoji849]

Caffeine in theory helps with migraines, but in my experience to get legitimate relief I need waaaay more than is appropriate during pregnancy- more like a couple of energy drinks in quick succession.

Ok I have a dumb thing to post about... so I had my first OB appointment today and I feel like I've set myself up to maybe be disappointed... I know I have posted about this before so please humor me if you have heard this cause it's been years. I once read an article that stated the shape of your uterus at 8/9 weeks could determine the gender of baby. Now don't get me wrong, I am well aware that this sounds ridiculous and there doesn't seem to be any scientific data to back it up but I read this theory before my last failed sway and immediately felt discouraged because my uterus was shaped for the boy. Then I had my third boy. Well my uterus is shaped the same this pregnancy so I feel boy number 4 is on the way... anyway I know it's dumb, but maybe you could ease my concern? The theory says that if she shape is circle at 8/9 weeks then it's a girl and if it's more like a banana then it's a boy. Unfortunately I have seen this be true through several close friends pregnancies so that is another thing that has me worried...

Sorry if this makes no sense but can I see some of your early ultrasounds (8/9 weeks) from those of you that know gender to help ease my fears??

I've never heard this! What is the theory??? Does seem like a stretch though! I wouldn't worry! I've seen several ramzi, nub, skull, symptom, heart rate theories etc be wrong!

Adorable! I was actually thinking it would be fun to post baby bump pics if that is allowed on here!

[Roedinga1]

I figured it's kinda post at your own risk. This isn't a locked or private site but that doesn't matter to me.

Yes this theory seems a little crazy since it's hard to really know the shape of the uterus this early on. It's so low early on. I mean I'm showing now but that's just because my body remembered this business... not because my uterus is higher yet or anything... an interesting idea

Wow Roe, you are one gorgeous mama! Baby is going to be beautiful! x
