weight gain

I am 37 and pregnant with my first. I'm 5'6 and weighed 145 pre-pregancy. Not skinny but certainly not overweight. I am 13 week and I have gained 13 lbs! Everyone keeps asking if I am having twins but I am not. I work out 3 times a week walking, and lifting light weights. I eat healthy but often, snacking every few hours. All of my baby books say that I should have only gain 4-5lbs at this point! I am very depressed. Last night I couldnt believe what the scale said. Is this normal? Anyone have this happen and then even out towards the end of the pregnacy or am I just going to continue to pack on the pounds?

i just found out i am 3 weeks pregnant. i am 14 years old and am not with the guy who is the father,.
I have been with my current boyfriend for 2 and a half years and we've had our ups and downs.
i know that he won't have a problem with the baby but it's not his.. and he doesn't know that.
im scared because i'm still a baby myself. i hope that i can be a better mother than a majority of the women i've met in my life.

thank you for reading my story.

i'am 14 years old and found out i was pregnant i still go out with the babys dad and he is very happy about it i am only 5 and a half weeks pregnat but iam scared of people will take my baby away from me because i'am so young. i have a strong relationship with my mum but she has just found out that my sister ,19 is pregnant with idenical twins so trhis makes me feel vunrable she is still talken to me but i think she wants me to have it termanated but this baby depends on me so i don't want to kill it because to me it would feel like murder the father of my baby is in england facing 4 months in jail for a knife crime but he relly wants a baby and so do i but every time i see my mum it makes me feel scared and selfish 3 babys under one roof with only a month within each other it is scary but i will just have to see what the future brings

I WAS SO EXCITED

Well i was destroyed after my miscarriage , I told my husband that we where expecting we both where so happy and we were buying all these little things for the baby our first baby.

well I didnt have bad symtoms I was feeling good and then 2 weeks later i had pain i went to the doctor and he said that just a bit of pain was fine but if i was bleeding to go to the emergency room so then a week later i had to quit my job it was too heavy for me i would always get tired

so then i was home and more pain came then bleeding that night i was feeling weird with pain and blood so then I wake up at 330 am and i turned the light on and i was all covered in blood my bed was all wet in blood i had pain i merged into the emergency and they had me waiting outside with the pain then 30 min later i went inside and then 1 hour later i was all clean so is very sad because i was so happy

i was depress for 4 to 6 months know its been 1 year and im trying to get pregnant and I can't im waiting to get pregnant know im taking folic acid and i hope to get pregnant and be healthy.

Wow, these are some active kids!

Well tonight is the first night I have felt these signs. 4/17/08. My husband jokingly told his family that we were carring twins as an April fools joke, however tonight might have proved him right! These early movements for a 10 week stage are different, My tummy has began to take on a wave motion in the upper and lower tummy areas at the same time.

I have pop'd out like no other just after relaxing in the jacuzzi. These movements are still taking place as u read this, and they started 20 mins ago. How wonderful and exciting this would be for us. I have always dreamed about carrying mulitple children.

We are a blessed family. Let tonight mark a day of praise. I will get back to you I have a Doctors appointment this Friday...tomorrow.

TTYL :) =)
