First doctor's appt today

I don't expect much to happen because it's
the first appt. I remember the last time
that nothing much happened at the first
appt. If anything does, I'll make a post.
I'm trying hard not to gain as much
weight as I did last time around. In
spite of everything I've been told I still
believe that's why Chu was so huge. I'm
not going through that again. I've also
started up with jogging, and I'm doing a
bit of ballet again. I didn't do much
exercise with Chu and I think that helped
make my labor more difficult. I want a
better experience this time and I mean to
do everything I can to make sure I have
one.

have fun! i'm sure it'll be an uneventful
appointment.
how much did you gain with chu and what
did he weigh at birth? i think a lot of
women learn from their first pregnancies
and don't gain as much the next time. i
don't know if your weight gain has
anything to do with the size of the baby
though. sarah gained like 60 with oni and
25 with nya and they were both 6-pounders.
i gained 70 with finn and he was 8lb5oz,
and this time i've gained about 30 and
they think esme is even bigger than he
was. maybe you had undiagnosed GD with
chu? well, good luck! i'm sure you'll have
no problem keeping your weight in check.

B, I'm not going to post exactly how much
weight i gained but I'll just say that it
was more than 50 lbs. Chu weighed 9 lbs
11 oz. i passed the glucose test, i
assumed that that one was for gd. i guess
i'll find out whether it was my weight
gain or not if this time i have another 10
pounder. it may just be my genes that
make me gestate pachyderms. I sincerely
hope not. But whatever it is I'm
definitely working towards a more moderate
weight gain.
Thanks everyone! It was as uneventful as
I remembered. My doc just confirmed
pregnancy and gave me a due date. It was
different from the one that I calculated.
My due date is 11/21. November babies
rock!

November babies certainly do rock 
I'm having my first appointment tomorrow,
but I doubt anything will happen until I
see my midwife. I don't think the doctor
would even do a pregnancy test.. but he
might give me a definite due date. It
should be around the 22nd. Our due dates
will be pretty close together, Kay!

Me too =)
As for tearing so badly because Chu was
such a big baby.. Jenny was only 5lbs
& I tore soooo bad. They spent 2 hours
stitching me. Although I pushed very hard
& very fast.. she came flying out like
a speeding bullet  so
this time I'm hoping for a nice average
7lb baby.. I'm sure you are too!

Oni and Nya were both born at 37
weeks...BUT, they wouldn't have been any
bigger than 7.5lbs at 40 weeks.
One day I'll have me a 7lb'er!! I'm
DETERMINED! LOL!

Nope.
When she was born, her Dr realized he had
made a miscalculation.
Not sure if you remember, but I had an u/s
and he changed my due date to Feb. 12.
He did another u/s and said that because
it wasn't 4 weeks, he wouldn't change my
due date.
When she was born, he confirmed that she
was NOT 40 weeks.
