I'll be gone awhile...

[jessicacope]

Hey friends. I haven't been on in awhile because I had some problems with my Fibromyalgia and was hurting pretty bad. That flare-up seems to be better though. But the reason I won't be signing on for awhile is because I just found out I'm pregnant. This will be our second child. I'm excited about a new baby. I'm NOT excited about the weight. I'm gonna try to stick with meats, veggies and fruits mostly. Just depending on what my stomach will allow. After I'm done with this pregnancy, I'm back on Atkins.
Everyone wish me luck. With my last baby, I gained almost 100 pounds (40 was fluid). I was miserable. Please pray for me that this pregnancy will not be as miserable and that I don't gain as much weight! Good luck to all of you on your weightloss journey in the meanwhile too!

Congratulations.
Don't focus on the weight while pregnant. Focus on health - both baby's and yours. Ask your doctor about nutrition and enjoy it all. I am envious. My baby is already 15.
See you when you are ready to come back.

Congratulations, Jessica

You could move to the maintenance phase of Atkins and follow that, which could help you not gain too much 'baby weight'.

Our 'Pregnancy and Nursing' forum members would I am sure help you suss out what sort of regime to follow.
