I gained 60 lbs with 1st pregnancy...Ok here goes. <br /><br />I gained 60 lbs with 1st pregnancy and baby weighed 9lbs12oz. Had a c-section becasue she wouldn't come out, too big.(imagine that)<br /><br />Second pregnancy I gained 60lbs, but never lost about 10 from the first pregnancy. Baby was 8lbs8oz, but had to come out 10 days early as she was on her way to be another monster like the first one. Had a planned c-section due to the above.<br /><br />My thyroid meds was increased during pregnancy and has steadily risen over the years. I found out in at 20years old of my thyroid after many different diagnosis.<br /><br />Babies both checked a day after born for thyroid function....they prick the bottom of the foot and take blood. The nurse commented that I was the only mother that didn't get upset when this happens because they cry something awful. Trust me I thought, I am going to be their mother, they will be more scared of that then the little prick on their foot, lol. And I would rather know they need something then find out later that their brain didn't develop properly or whatever.<br /><br />I also retained a horrible amount of water through both pregancies and still continue to suffer from it.....possibly related the thyroid function, fluctuating horomones, going off birth control and with the 2nd pregnancy I thought I was crazy, I cried and got mad etc, etc. Again maybe related to the above.<br /><br />Anyway, keep on top of getting your thyroid checked because a certain amount of tiredness and irritabilty is expected, but if your body is out of wack you need to take care of it, you and everyone around you will apprciate it, lol.<br /><br />Oh and totally impressed you have remained so active during your pregancy. It makes me want a do over. I was a sloth during both pregancies, shameful really. I attribute most of the weight gain from that, although my Dr. (had to see a specialist ) said I really had no control over the amount of weight I gained and with the second pregnacy I made a real effort to eat for one! So who knows.angdesjnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17807669.post-49611508821644045122009-05-24T09:04:49.798-06:002009-05-24T09:04:49.798-06:00Have you tried chewing ice?

I also have a thyroid issue and it had to be increased while pregnant. It has since been increased steadily since having babies. Not sure if you want to know my progress so if you respond I will tell you my weight and babie(s) weight while having an underactive thyroid:) I feel strangely creepy writing as I have been reading for some time.<br /><br />angdesjangdesjnoreply@blogger.com
