Are you worried about your baby is under or over weight? I was worried that my 2 month old ws over weight. He weighs 14 pounds and 6 onces, and the doc said that ws great!!! He is so chubby but a healthy beautful baby!!! How old is yours?


:wink: teresa

Got one on the way. I am just trying to find out as much info as I can before the little one arrives. Thanks for your reply, by the way. Can you tell me what month you started to show? I am just a few weeks along (still waiting my first visit to the dr) but I swear my pants already fit tight. Maybe its because i'm not too thin, about a size 10/12. I don't know. Any advice you have to offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

Um...I started to show pretty early. I noticed a change in the way my clothes fit in the first couple of weeks also. I guess it was about the 3rd mnth when others started to notice. I was a size 7 to 9 before I got pregnant and now (2 month post partum) i'm a size 12. When is your first appointment?

I started to show when I was about 5 months! But im a bigger girl also and didn't put on weight until 6 or 7 months then I put it on quick. But 2 months after I had my baby ive already lost almost 50 lbs and am below my pre pregnancy weight. Reccomendation: if you want to get rid of the excess fluid fast...Drink apple juice...It helped me alot. I dropped 30 lbs of fluid w/ in a couple of weeks. By the way, unless your baby is going to be really big i'd reccomend buying at least a couple premmie outfits. My baby weighed 7lbs 6 ozs and was 20 inches long and she was too small for newborn clothes even the onesies were too big. She grew out of the premmie stuff in about 3 weeks...But still it was better than her clothes falling off. They typically lose weight after they are born but start gaining it back and gain about an ounce a day. My baby is 9 weeks old now and is about 11lbs 6 ozs.

Good tip on the buying preemie clothes!! My son was 7lbs 10oz 20 inches long and all the newborn clothes were to big for him also. I don't know why all the newborn clothes are made so big!! My son is 3months now and weighs 16lbs 23inches long!! So, yep...They grow sooo fast!!!

I don't really have anything to say about weight or anything like that. My daughter is almost 4 years old, I can barely remember what she weighed at birth (just joking I remember that much). I just wanted to right, and say, I love hearing new mommies or mommies to be talk. I remember when I was pregnant, and I had no idea aboutt this site, I wanted to talk about my pregnancy and my new born all the time, and nobody really wanted to hear about it or they got tired of hearing about her. I love hearing those stories, they bring back good fuzzie memories.

Shoneen, are you planning to have anymore children?? It sounds like you love babies...Maybe you should have another!! You know abou the forum now and we'd all love for you to talk our heads off about babies!! Lol!!

Yes I do plan on having more. I always wanted for but my fiance already has 3 so it looks like i'll be having 5. He's over seas right now and will be back in march, which is when we'll be trying to have a child.

I'm sorry to hear that he is over seas!! That must be hard on you!! I can't wait until I can plan to get pregnant (in about four years). Let us know when you get preggy. 5 kids aren't bad...Some have like 20!! Lol!!
