Hi Christian,

Congrats on making it this far! I gained 30lbs with twins and lost 35lbs five days post partum! Scary! I thought it wasn't going to stop. I'm a fairly thin CFer, 112lbs, 5'4". And I was breastfeeding. The good news is (at least for me) breast feeding made me SO HUNGRY! I was eating 5 meals a day, no joke! And you have room in the belly for all the food again! It's fabulous!

Have you practiced putting a doll or stuffed animal in the car seat. I was a first time mom with my twins (still am a first time mom LOL!) and this is a true story. We were literally releasing the twins from the hospital, dressing them up etc. And it was time to strap them into the car seat. We had NO IDEA how to adjust the straps and the nurse could not help us. I guess she didn't see alot of those brands. It was Peg Perego, which I thought was really popular, but we had to run out to the car and get the manual. No joke! So practice, practice, practice. It eventually becomes second nature and I can't believe I didn't know how to do it. So funny.

Congrats and good luck!

Hi Christian,

It sounds like you are doing great! Internals are a little uncomfortable but fortunately over pretty quickly. You may feel a little bit of cramping and that is normal. Get some rest now if you can, its a bit of an adjustment to get used to the sleep schedule. I wish you a great and healthy delivery for both you and the baby. Keep us updated!

I only gained 18 pounds with Jazmine and the 2 weeks I was in the hospital before delivery she was growing, but I was losing. I dropped my weight immediately. I didnt have hips or boobs for long after giving birth & I wasnt even breast feeding. You know your body & if you think you will do better after delivering then hold onto that. It is hard to believe things are moving so fast. Seems like not long ago you were fighting to get your lung function up so Dr. W would give her approval. HUGS & I expect to see a picture in the office when I go for my next appt because you will have delivered by then!

Oh wow! I only gained about 8 lbs, but I was around 128-130 (at 5' 1") starting out, so I had a little to spare- she did come 6 weeks early, though. Prayers going up for a safe, quick and easy delivery for you both! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
