Heartbeat / Weight gain
Today I had an appointment at the Dr. I am about 16 and a half weeks and we
got to hear the heartbeat. That is the coolest thing, I even got all emotional (see teary) in the office. My Boyfriend also went to hear teh heartbeat and was pretty impressed with it. Now, only 23 weeks or so to go. ha ha I also lost weight today at my appointment. At my last appointment I had 6 pounds on my pre pregnancy weight, but today I was down 1.5 for a total gain of only 4.5. I guess this is ok. I am overweight to start with and I assured the Dr. that I wasn't trying to lose weight and that I was eating, just not eating junk as much. What do you think, does this seem like reasonable weight gain? |

What do you think, does this seem like reasonable weight gain? Gaining and losing is normal. I've been weighed every Tuesday for the last 9 weeks. Sometimes in a week I've gained 4 or 5 lbs, then in another week I'll have lost 2 lbs. As far as I can tell I'm eating the same all the time. The Dr said it's not that big of a deal unless the loss/gain is massive. As long as *you* know you're eating well, I wouldn't worry. |

I dont know how much you weigh but I am just a few days ahead of you it
sounds like and I have gained 2 lbs at 17.4 weeks. I weight more then my car though so I do not really need to gain too much Tori -- Bonnie 3/20/02 Anna or Xavier due 10/17/04 "Stormlady" don't@ email.me wrote in message ...

I'm about 16.5 weeks pg and am due 10/24. Congrats on hearing the heartbeat. I also lost weight today at my appointment.

What do you think, does this seem like reasonable weight gain? Totally reasonable. I am actually -1 lb pre-pregnancy and my OB and midwife aren't worried about it. I'm also a bit overweight to begin with. I have been eating healthy, but definitly not trying to eat low fat or anything. It's as if my body knows that it has the extra weight and is taking care of itself in some weird way. -- JennP. mom to Matthew 10/11/00 EDD #2 10/24/04 remove "no........spam" to reply |

Is this your first?Are you the other 10/24 on Brigette's pregnancy calendar? ds was born in October and it was a great time to have a baby. At least here in New England. I have my u/s in a little over a week. We'll see if my edd stays the same and hopefully find out the gender. -- JennP. mom to Matthew 10/11/00 EDD #2 10/24/04 remove "no........spam" to reply |

Hey,
Yeah this is my first. I guess I am the other 10/24, I'm Heather. I was born in October too, on the 16th. My friends birthday is the 26th so it would be funny if I went on her b'day. I think mine is a bit too early. I have my u/s on the 31st of May, I am expecting my edd to change then though, I have a really long cycle when not taking bcp's so I expect that I may be a week or so behind where the Dr's are putting me, but I'll just have to wait and see. We are not going to find out the sex of the baby though. That will be a big surprise on delivery day. Well, maybe a surprise, I am half convinced it's a boy anyway.
