I made it to the second trimester. I'm 13w 3d. I haven't made it this far since the girls. I'm so happy that I don't know what to do with myself sometimes . I now am waiting patiently (that's a lie) to find out the gender. I think it's a girl due to timing of O, DH keeps saying boy only cause I say girl. He doesn't care either way. From what we've seen so far at the 12w u/s, there was a nub, so that's saying boy and placental location is on the right and that says boy. I have to set up an appt for a 3d u/s. I'm going to go when I'm about 16 weeks and see what happens.

Also, I've been refusing to put on maternity pants cause I feel so fat and just look 6 months pregnant in normal clothes. I probably would look almost due in maternity clothes. It's so upsetting to me. I wish I worked harder at losing the weight. I was just too lazy. But I will do it after I have the baby. I can't imagine being 5'2" and weighing 200lbs.

I am so incredibly excited for you.

Wow, what happened to my post?

Good for you!! I have made it to the 3rd tri, starting to get a little freaked out!

YAY! Thats a huge milesone! Celebrate every minute with your bean!

ugh weight! I can relate. I'm 5'2" also and I was:

pregnancy 1 - start: 148lb delivery - 198lb 6w pp: 167lb started gaining after stopping breast feeding

pregnancy 2 - start 187lb delivery 222lb

pregnancy 3 - start 207lb delivery 225 ish? 2w pp: 188lb!!!

Today about 185 I think. Working SO hard this time. I said I'd lose weight after pregnancy 1 and 2 but it was only during pregnancy 3 that I became disgusted with myself and now when I see myself in picture. I don't feel as heavy as I look probably because I was HEAVIER for the last 2yrs with pregnancies so close together. I hate being overweight.

But for now Steph try to focus on the fact that you gain quicker with subsequent pregnancies and also that you are growing a person! Just eat healthy and take some walks. As long as you are in good health worry about the numbers later!

What a great milestone! Congratulations Steph.

I've been struggling with feeling okay about my weight gain as well, but don't get too worked up about it sweetie. You'll have plenty of time to get the weight off when your sweet little one is here. Just remember that you're supposed to gain weight right now.
