catmom88 what time is your appointment tomorrow? I see an MFM and my regular OB so hopefully you can still be with your regular doc. I will be thinking of you and I'm sending you love and hugs. Please make a thread and update us when you can. 💕💕

I've gained 20lbs as well. But I started off small so my OB is happy with my weight gain. But... I was up almost 60lbs with ds3. I don't want that to happen again.

I'm supposed to only gain 15 lbs but I gained 25 with DS and was ok with that. I hadn't gained any this time until my last appt but I had gained 5 😲 within that one month. Hopefully that slowed down a little and I haven't gained another 5.

I wouldn't say I started small, but I was in decent shape, and my bmi was around 23, I think. My OB has been fine with my weight gain, but I'm just really worried about gaining 50lbs or more. |

paperbagliz - How did you like whole 30? I did one a year ago and loved it, but I won't lie- it was hard! I want to try it again after the baby comes.

Right, I felt like it was harder to recuperate after labor than with my older 2 where I didn't gain as much. But that could be also because I'm much older as well lol |

How far along are you? 23w3d
Appointments coming up? 24 week appt on Wednesday with my new OB.
How are you feeling? Okay. I think the abdominal pain I mentioned last week is muscular and it's getting better so I'm not as worried about that. I also get really bad lower back pain if I do too much during the day, so I'm trying to manage that now.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nope- I'll let you know after Wednesday!
QOTW: What's one food you couldn't live without? This is hard for me, I love everything haha. But I guess if I had to choose one thing I couldn't live without it would be chocolate.

God luck tomorrow catmom88! Re weight gain, I was told 11-20. I'm up 10 so far, I'm good with 20 though since that is what I lost before getting pregnant so I think I could easily lose that again and then work on the rest of what I wanted to lose before too. |

How far along are you? 22w4d
Appointments coming up? Regular check-up this Thursday.
How are you feeling? I'm ok. Tired all the time and random belly pains my OB says are muscular. But can't really complain since I'm no longer throwing up.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? It's a girl!
QOTW: What's one food you couldn't live without?
Cheese

I felt so much better, lost a ton of belly fat, and experimented with different recipes. I was down 20 pounds in six weeks. I'm definitely planning to do it again a couple months after the twins are born. |

doxiemama what is the difference between community and city hospitals? Here we have a few hospitals but I don't know what they would be classified as. Mine is a university teaching hospital, the others are private. If you already answered, ignore. I am still catching up.

catmom88 all of your feelings are completely valid. I would not go if you are not feeling 100% up to it. No point in doing something that will make you miserable, IMO. I will thinking all positive thoughts for you and baby in your scan.

How far along are you? 23w2d
Appointments coming up? Had regular OB check up today, MFM nect Thursday with ultrasound to look at my cervix and track growth
How are you feeling? Not too shabby. Hungry.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? VSD still there but it is small so not a big worry. Everything else looks good.
QOTW: What's one food you couldn't live without? Oh I just love food, this is hard. But I think maybe cheese...it is so versatile.

How far along are you? 23w2d
Appointments coming up? Not until mid-August.
How are you feeling? A little stuffy, well more than usual. I hope it's not a summer cold. My digestive system can't seem to make up its mind on whether it wants to be constipated or have me running to the bathroom 30 min after I eat. Fun stuff.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? N/A
QOTW: What's one food you couldn't live without? Bread in all forms.

How far along are you? 25w2d
Appointments coming up? Just had my 25 week apt today
How are you feeling? It's hot today - so the fan is facing right on me and I'm feeling a lot better
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? We've started measuring the bump now, I'm measuring 27 weeks. Midwife (it was a new one I hadn't met before) was slightly concerned that I was measuring 2 weeks ahead, and wanted to bring my GD forward (it's 3 weeks away) I pretty much just said no, as it's so much I would have to organise and I wasn't remotely worried as I measured ahead every single apt with DS, she then called in another midwife for a second opinion and she just said it's fine. Next apt in 3 weeks so will be interesting to see what I measure then!
QOTW: What's one food you couldn't live without? All the carbs
