Has anyone else gained weight since ttc. Well i'm 5'8 and did weigh 127 i'm kinda skinny got some luv handles though. Now I fluctuate b/w 132-135 weve beeb trying going on 7th month but feel like a heffer! Do you think its ok to do crunches and stuff. I just get afraid that if I get preggo and dont know that it could hurt the baby, but I think I look like I am preggo. My belly is actually hanging low and is so round. My husband said like a fat mans beer belly. He was just kidding but it kinda does! So anyone else think thier gaining weight with me?

I am actually trying to lose while trying to conceive. Yes, you can do crunches. My doctor told me I could continue all regular exercise through the first trimester and then things like crunches and anything else that strains your stomach muscles needs to stop. I would say crunch away and talk to your doctor once you get that positive pregnancy test.

I have to say though that your weight for your height sounds absolutely heavenly! I am two inches shorter than you and don't think I have ever seen my scale that low.
