I am at 24 weeks so right ahead of you...I have gained 11 lbs. so far. if this is your first it doesn't surprise me you aren't showing.

I saw there were two other ladies that were also due in Feb and I was hoping maybe we three can stay in touch on here! My story Realize in Jan of 2010 lost 50lbs and have gained 10 of it back since Feb of this year....grrr. I am working on losing it right now. and then I hope to not gain more then 10-15. I only have 3.5 cc's and I do feel tighter in the past week or so.

We found out we are having a BOY! I was right!!! I have gained about six pounds now (23 weeks) Its so hard to see the scale moving up and up. I have some port pain during a few braxton hicks. Anyone else?

That is so exciting! Congrats on the little miss! We don't get to find out until October 12.

welcome justbreath! is this your first?

My sister is having a girl in Oct and I feel sorry for her. My sister is such a tomboy. In the national guard works as a prison guard enjoys hunting with her husband. also doesn't do her hair or make up. Oh boy.... I don't know why I think its a boy I just feel like it is. I felt like I was having a girl when I was pregnant with Olivia also. I read somewhere that a mother can predict with 70% accuracy what she is carrying. I have a friend who has three and she says she knew what she was having with each of them.

Sure Shay you can give us a heads up on whats to come!! This will be our second. I have a three year old girl. When TTC I didn't care. A boy would be nice but a sister for Olivia would be nice also. Then as soon as we conceived I have been convinced its a boy and I am now hoping for a boy. DH says he doesn't care.

I haven't gotten my scheduled yet but I am pretty sure my doctor will do it Oct. 12.

I gained about eight lbs trying to get pregnant. and I have lost 3 of them! I am still worried about gaining weight though. How is everyone feeling? My MS is finally subsiding. Thank goodness. My craving seems to be popcorn. weird huh? I am sooo ready to find out the sex of the baby.

I am just using the ones that you get at Wal Mart. Last time I couldn't do them because they made me sick so I did the flintstone chewables.

MS has really hit me. I thought it was my imagination toward the end of last week. But over the weekend I know its not my imagination. Food helps but nothing sounds good if I am starting to feel ill. And I told DH its not like I can eat all day. I have been sucking on jawbreakers today and that seems to help also. My last pregnancy I had blow pops that helped lol.

Same here I am on BabyFit and of course none of them (or at least no one has mentioned it) is banded. I am glad there are a couple of us due around the same time. I am nervous about my port. I have pain with it when I do new things. So I am sure its going to get painful the bigger I get.

When TTC my first my cycles were 35 days with O on 17 or 18. After having my IUD out in Feb my longest cycle day was 29 with O on day 16. And the last two months were 28 with O on 13 and 14! Pretty normal! So yeah I think the weight I have lost has helped.

I had my IUD taken out in February and I have gained 10 lbs. I knew I had gained 5 but I got on this morning and I am up 10 lbs! I am sick over this.

I had surgery with my mirena in...no problems what so ever. And the mirena has a very low amount of hormones in it.

I would say not unless your appoitments land on the same day.

yeah i had restriction before...I am not worried about it having a hole. but the article I read some something about it seeping through the membranes so i am thinking they are talking about the seems or something. not so much as a leak but just over time it looses some liquid.

So I was reading something on the internet today that you have to keep getting fills once or twice a year to replace saline that slowly seeps out from the band membrane over time. I had surgery last January. Had a fill in June and again in August so a total of 1.5 cc. I have no restriction right now...do you think anything is in there?

I would love to make it back to my doctor for more regular fills...My doctor is two and half hours aways. It cost me 100 for a fill plus a tank of gas $50 and a day off of work. I am self employed so no vacation or sick time. Right now we are trying to conceive as well. I did have great restriction with just the band. I didn't even get a fill until 5 months after having my band.

I am also worried about port pain. I have a pair of jeans that sit right where my port is or something because it hurts when I wear them. Also once a month a do a nail clinic where I am up and down off the floor all day and my port usually really bothers me that day.

I am not pregnant yet...in fact I am going next week to get my IUD out. In my first pregnancy I had high blood pressure during my whole pregnancy. It gave me a lot of trouble and a lot of doctor appts. I have lost 50 lbs and I hope to loose at least another ten before I get pregnant. So my question is do you think I will have trouble with high blood pressure again?

When I was pregnant I was put on something for my high blood pressure.

costco.com has the bodybugg on sale for 199 with 12 month subscription until the end of the month.

I don't know what I am doing wrong. I haven't lost weight since this summer. I didn't work out or watch what I was eating in Nov or Dec. so I know why I didn't loose weight those months. So this month I have been watching what I eat. I haven't been working our so maybe I need to start doing that....I have the bodybugg. Which I have been hitting a calorie deficiency of at least 1000 cals a day. I have been eating about 1000-1200 cals a day and burning at least 2200 a day. I getting my protein in. And I haven't lost a pound.

Wow that's awesome. I guess I will just have to wait and see a little longer.
