I am sure there is not a whole lot I could do but maybe waiting, getting in a good exercise routine and eating healthy would have helped. It is hard on a marriage having crazy hormones floating around :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-i-could-have-do-over-for-pregnancy-2-it-would-be#post-1057653 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 14:25:31 +0000 Amelieisme 1057653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine: how old is your LO? I just had a surprise BFP myself and have a 1 year old. I'd say I wish we had more in savings before getting pregnant with #2. I'm a WOHM and the child are costs are scary. That combined with unpaid maternity leave makes me super nervous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-i-could-have-do-over-for-pregnancy-2-it-would-be#post-1052254 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 12:36:55 +0000 heffalump 1052254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was actually exactly the same weight that I was when I got pregnant with LO. But I wanted to be under that.... it's still too much for me. In theory I would have liked to have my migraines under control.... but that's not really possible for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-i-could-have-do-over-for-pregnancy-2-it-would-be#post-1052182 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 12:18:40 +0000 lovehoneybee 1052182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely losing weight. I'm not at a happy pregnancy starting-weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-i-could-have-do-over-for-pregnancy-2-it-would-be#post-1052158 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 12:12:37 +0000 GrapeCrush 1052158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was quite a bit above pre pregnancy weight when I got pregnant with #2(6 months after #1 was born) but I ended at the same weight as I did with #1. It was a surprise we got pregnant when we did, but I had definitely hoped to have been closer to prepregnany weight when I got pregnant </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-i-could-have-do-over-for-pregnancy-2-it-would-be#post-1052093 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 11:50:12 +0000 Clementine 1052093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I'm right there with you. I'm bummed for both vanity and higher chances of GD altho my GD is more genetics than weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-i-could-have-do-over-for-pregnancy-2-it-would-be#post-1052090 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 11:49:49 +0000 cascademom 1052090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm working on shedding weight in preps for baby #2 even if it means waiting longer than I would like. I want to eat better the whole pregnancy unlike last time. I'm also planning on consuming massive amounts of kefir to prevent infections which I suffered during the second-third trimesters. I'm actually okay if I get GBS again since having the antibiotics made me feel better during delivery that both of us would be okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-i-could-have-do-over-for-pregnancy-2-it-would-be#post-1052083 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 11:48:25 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1052083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations!</p> <p>We are starting a medicated cycle next month, and I wish I was more in shape. I'm under my PP weight, but imagined my body more defined and my hips not as wide. That sounds so vain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-i-could-have-do-over-for-pregnancy-2-it-would-be#post-1052080 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 11:47:27 +0000 tinyperson 1052080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's my plan before # 2. I had GD for #1... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-i-could-have-do-over-for-pregnancy-2-it-would-be#post-1052074 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 11:45:51 +0000 Clementine 1052074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just found out I'm pregnant as of last week. Thank you for all the well wishes hive! Y'all rock! :heart: </p> <p>DH and I weren't preventing pregnancy but we didn't think it would happen so soon. In my head I always thought I'd get to my prepregnancy weight before baby #2. I'm 10 LBS heavier with pregnancy #2, and I'm already worried about the baby weight, which is completely stupid and vain, but I am. I'm also worried because I had GD with DS (blame my family history) and it really sucked. Wishing on a star, I don't get it second time around but the odds aren't looking good :sad: .</p> <p>If I could have a do over for pregnancy #2, I think I would have shed more baby weight from first LO. How about you? </p>
