Certainly no judgment from me, ANYWHERE!!! 😉 And I have a friend who was super tiny pre-pregnancy but due to health conditions gained 70 pounds herself. She has since had her little nugget and she’s getting back to normal but it’s just insane what our bodies do to us thanks to hormones!! IT IS TOTALLY ALL FLUID!!!!! How is your child now?! How were the days after the hospital? How soon did the swelling go down post baby?!

I ADORE THIS ATTITUDE Elizabeth! LIFE GOES ON – and there are WAY MORE IMPORTANT things to think about – like you TEENS!!! How was life when you had to take care of 2 infants!! I couldn’t even imagine – I bow down to you, seriously!!!! 🙂
I also love that you have found a place in your life where you enjoy food, get exercise and don’t sweat the small stuff 😉

That sounds an awful lot like judgement to me ?. I was one of those who gained 70lbs, and it wasn’t from pigging out. I have suffered from an ed most of my life also, but I was so sick when I was prego. First I couldn’t eat, but I swelled up with probably 30 lbs of fluid (that left my body immediately), and then I had to constantly be trying to find SOMETHING to help me with that awful feeling, as I had to continue to work, so I was eating saltine crackers by the sleeves, etc.. until you’ve walked in someone’s shoes…
Very happy for you by the way?!!!

Gigi babe, how did I miss this great good news!? I’m stoked to read about your pregnancy and wish you and your family many joyful memories together.
I carried twins and gained quite a bit of weight while pregnant. I was eating for two. 🙂 The weight came off after they were born, nd my twins are now adults. Life goes on. Honestly, I try to not sweat the small stuff especially because, as someone who was always slim, a bout of illness put me on steroids which blew me up about five years ago
It took a lot of hard work and weight watchers to lose those monster pounds. Now, I enjoy my food, get my exercise, and whatever I gain during the holidays, I work off in the new year. All is well. Enjoy your pregnancy. Hugs and love <3

I can’t believe you are at 34 weeks! Time flies! My twins were born at 37 weeks and were healthy though small. I gained about 25 lbs and was very careful about what I ate. I was never sure I wanted to have kids but now I can’t imagine life without them. If only they would move back! You will be an awesome mother. I just know!

Back pain is the WORST. Well, not really — there probably are worse things — but it’s SO annoying and painful. Thanks for the update — glad things are progressing well. Sobering words about Miralax, too — I’ve never taken it, but understand that stuff can be awful.
