I been there girl but now my hubby just got clipped so I do not have to worry about that anymore.  Yeah!!!  I didn't gain any real weight with my last pregnancy.  If you are careful not to overeat during your pregnancy u should be fine.  But anyway Congratulations on ur little one!  Have a healthy pregnancy and baby.

Well congrats!!! And not everybody "gets fat" while being pregnant. The whole time i was pregnant..both times..i always felt full..i had to make myself eat cause i got to where i wanted to pass out..well i did eat daily..and after i had the baby..both times..i was smaller then what i started out being. so just be careful and you will be fine.yeah you will gain but it may not but you...it may be baby..so hang in there..so how did he respond to you telling him this?? I hope that you guys are excited! Glad that you finally found someone too because you guys are super cute together too :)

Ha ha ha...now did that penis jump up to do this???? I doubt it!

Oh man...tell us how it went with your parents!

You will be fine...actually you have already done the hard work to control yourself. Just be good, eat decent food...we all know what that means.

Awww, you will make a great mama.

Aww, Congratulations!!  I agree, you guys are super cute together.  I always have to check out your pics when you put them up. :)  Like everyone else said, just eat healthy and it will all work out.  Just don't do what I did with my first, I gained 70 pounds.  I used it as an EXCUSE too eat!!  Bad, bad, mistake!

You'll do fine.  Oh how exciting for you.  My niece just found out she is having a boy, she is naming him Skylar.   It's so fun watching everyone having babies!!  Tell us how your friends and parents react.  Good luck!

Oh, Christa....we've missed you!!  I've pictured you out havin fun....wow...that's lots of fun!  Congratulations and I'm sure (hope) your parents will be supportive after the initial shock....let us know.  I gained 40lb with my first and only 6 with my second.....just ate healthy.  Guess that's what concerns me cause you ate kinda funky some days losin that weight, girl.....that baby needs some good nutritious food.  Actually, the baby will get what he/she needs, but your health will suffer if you're not eating right.

Glad you found a good man and hope he luvs ya like you deserved to be loved!!  Stay healthy and happy and your little one will be blessed to have you as a Mommy!!

Thanks everyone! Well what did my bf say. Well he was there with me when we checked the test together and when I cried and what not. He's a little freaked out but he is very supporting. I went to my parents ready to die lol I was so nervous. I was like uh I have something to tell you guys..my little brother is also sitting on the couch. Im like come on mom you usually always call it before I tell you something. My dad goes are you telling BOTH of us I said uh yes. My mom goes...You're pregnant!? I said uh well yea. My dad smiles and laughs and goes ha Grandma! You said you wanted a little one running around here guess you got your wish. My dad was all cool laid back said it better be a boy so he can take it fishing and teach it to play baseball or it can play football, my brother starts busting out laughing and says he wants it to be a boy so he can teach it basketball. My mom is still in utter shock lol. She was ok for a bit but she calls me at like 11pm and goes are you sure you want to do this? I said MOM! Gosh you were 22 Im 23..she said I was with your father for 5 years already I said it will be fine mom everything will be fine. Yea so shes freaking out. My best friend is utterly excited. Shes calling her self Auntie lol. My other brother didnt believe me.my other close friends I sent them a text within 5 seconds of sending it my phone was ringing...texting back they were going nuts. One friend said shed be my sober buddy lol. One oh yay ur gonna be a mommy. They were all supportive...my mom is the one that needs a while. But all will be ok. I have no sickness as of yet just quesiness. As for food it will be healthy food, I have fruits and veggies and chicken and oatmeal and good food so dont worry about that. I also know just because i have a human inside doesnt mean I NEED to eat for two. I will still walk and I have some stretching videos and a pool so whenever I can I will do things unless Im too exhausted or something later in the months ya know. Im glad I learned how to eat well and exercise before this happened. :] And I have alread been playing step mom to his kids basically. He's an outstanding father and man...seriously...he's a weird breed...he cooks, he cleans, hes extremely affectionate, he buys me new flowers everytime the others die lol, he pays half the bills, basically I could sit on my ass and do nothing and let him do everything but I am not that kind of person lol. But yea he's great and I am glad its with him.

I am one of those "new faces" you were talking about.. but welcome back anyway! You will do great! I was 23 when I had my son.. the cir****tances were different but in the end, we are all just moms! lol (oh and when someone called me "mommy" while I was pregnant I freaked out... it was TOO weird).

I had the same fear you did... sadly mine played out just as I feared. I had lost alot of weight a few years back... over 70lbs.. maintained it for 4 years.. got married and brought back a honeymoon surprise. I gained it all back and added a few extra. But in all honesty, there were alot of aspects to the weight gain.. I was high risk at the end and was on bed rest so I couldnt stay active and I was in the hospital about 4 times being pumped full of meds to try to bring my bp down so I wouldnt have a seizure. I am almost certain all my weight was gained the two months before my son was born. Now, he is One and I am pregnant again and never lost that weight. But I am 16 weeks into it and I have actually lost 2lbs rather than gaining any! I am being smart about this one... watching my weight (I never did that before with my son.. I wanted to pretend I didnt have weight then.. lol)... making sure I eat as regularly and often as possible... and being active when I can. Since I am so overweight, my dr said if I do end up with a low to no gain that it completely healthy for me because of all my extra weight. With my son, when I was smaller, she wanted me to gain 30lbs at least. So when you DO gain remember its baby.

I am sure you will do great! And yes...blame your bf as much as possible as you get bigger in the pregnancy. lol I know I blame my husband all the time.. as I am struggling with this extra weight I tell him its all his fault! Him and that darn penis of his! lol He just laughs and says sorry. Keep us posted on how everything goes! :) You'll be great! Babies are worth it... I hate the weight, but if I had to trade in my son to get my body  back I woudlnt.. he is so wonderful to have in my life.. I can't remember life without him. You'll see! :)

I was wondering how you've been doing.  CONGRATS.  That's such wonderful news about not only the great guy, but also about your bambino.  You've done the work to get healthy, so you know what you need to do and any gained weight will come off afterwards.
