It seems like every pregnancy has at least a few surprises in store for the expectant mom. Each mom's experience is so different and there are many things no one warned me about. One surprise that I will be ready for next time is that despite pretty consistent eating habits, my weight gain came in spurts. It seemed like one week I would gain very little and then the next - wham! - I added 5 more pounds. My husband and I went out of town one weekend with some friends, and over the three-day trip, I transitioned from non-maternity clothes to "Oh my gosh, I can't button any of my pants." Needless to say, I walked around very carefully that weekend. My second pregnancy is going to be a lot different. I'll have a toddler to chase around in addition to "enjoying" the pregnant life. I plan to approach exercise and nutrition as a way to keep my energy up as much as possible, and do my part to promote a healthy pregnancy. Time and fatigue will be the biggest challenges, but with the support of my family and friends, I hope to repeat the positive experience of my first.
