Did I win the race? My little 6 pounder came Friday am at 1:07. Best of luck to the rest of you.

Krille, ask whatever you want here, that's what we are here for! Morris, my doctor does internal exams to check for dilation at 36 weeks.

Looks like I am back in the race. Doctor says I am 2 cm dilated and could go at any time. He thinks the baby is about 7 pounds or so but still can't get an accurate measurement. My weight gain has stabilized and as of today weight gain is about 22 pounds.

Maybe my summer pregnancy was easy because we live near the beach! Lori, I have felt starved my whole pregnancy and eat all day. My weight quickly went up during trimester 1 but stabilized so as long as you eat relatively healthy don't worry! Morris, another packing tip. As stated the...

Sounds like you have a considerate young man who is trying to come out early and save you a csection. Its funny with dd#1 when I was 2 cm dilated at a visit, I still felt fine.

Rachel, I don't know why they are doing weekly nonstress tests for you. I have had none and I am 36. Kristine, keep with the mild workouts and your energy will return soon. Heather, maybe I am lucky, still feeling good. We'll see what doctor says tomorrow, but despite for my usual constant...

Melanie, so nice of you to check over here! How is your husband feeling, is he home? Hopefully you will see me on the postpartum check in soon. Alexis will shop for clothes/diapers for the baby but when asked if she wants a baby sister says "No". Glad your kids are doing well. Mary, my money is...

Heather, I stopped the dead lifts since they were killing my lower back. Good luck, sounds like you are close. Morris, I didn't think I droped with dd#1 but people said I did. Baby still looks high on me now. Hubby wants this baby to wait a while longer so he can get some projects done! Lol...

Happy mother's day everyone! I am stil feeling good and have come to the reality that this baby is not coming out at 38 weeks like dd#1. I am at week 37 1/2. I was not dilated at all at last week's visit, we'll see what happens at my visit on Tuesday. My belly looks huge and I am fearful of a...

I am with Morris on her recommendations. If you are eating fairly healthy and exercising regularly, your body is gaining what it needs. Some people gain more the first trimester than other people. I do recommend keeping up the weight work, even though things (like the butt) get bigger they can...

Dominican, check with your doctor if you are high risk. He/she will probably say no. You are almost out of the first trimester when rates of miscarriage are high so you can start to relax. I would slowly start back and do what your body is comfortable with. Don't shy away from the check in. We...

Lori , with #2 I showed quickly. By 8 weeks I looked noticeably pregnant!

Heather, I believe my daughter weighed 10 pounds at about 6 months old. She stayed so tiny that she wearing newborn clothes until she was 6 months old. Currently at 2.8 months she is about 23 pounds. But, I am not even 5 feet tall and hubby is barely 5 foot 8. Morris, how great to be a vet! I...

Lori, I couldn't give up my cofee this time around! Heather, wow a 10 pounder! I am worried since doc says this baby seems bigger than dd#1 and guesses this one to be over 7 pounds. Kristine, the first trimester is the hardest when in comes to exercise. hope dh feels better. Saw the doctor...

Morris, your workouts still look amazing! What do you do that you work with rodents? Steph, glad your stomache survived the cruise. We haven't taken a cruise in a long time but loved our last one. Heather, I didn't realize we had the same due date. I am hoping to go early since dd#1 was 12...

Lori, how great to have a hubby who owns a sportswear store. Gidget, at 36 weeks I still feel like constanly eating. Jana, don't worry about your weight. Mine increased alot at first, then slowed. Curly, glad the move went well. Mary, how are you feeling? Doctor's visit tomorrow, I'll...

Coco, I found when dd#1 was an infant, I often started and stopped workouts to nurse and change diapers but I still finished the tape and got back into shape. I began putting her in the swing too while I exercised which helped. I didn't do intense workouts though until my 6 week check up. Glad...

Mary, be proud of yourself for doing any workouts. My doctor has told me that measurements are not that accurate. You certainly will have a baby on the larger side, but does the doctor know for sure it is already 7 pounds. Also, baby could still level out. Either way, be glad the doctor is...

Hi everyone, Heather, wow, 3 pounds to lose after having a baby! I gained 23 pounds with dd#1 but she was only 6 pounds 11 ounces. My next appointment is 5/8-monday, I will still be 36 weeks at that point. Curly, congrats on your move!
