A great pregnancy experience!

[Roskow]

I have received so much help from you ladies, I thought I would update you all about my pregnancy!
On April 3rd, I gave birth to my beautiful daughter Kimber Sue. She was 2 weeks early but she is the perfect end to a wonderful pregnancy. I owe most of my pregnancy joy to my doctor, Grayson Guzman here in AZ. I was soooo concerned about being overweight and pregnant, especially after meeting another doctor while trying to conceive that was AWFUL!!! but he made all of my fears disappear.
To any overweight woman who is pregnant or TTC, don't give up until you find the perfect dr or mw. I did and it made a world of difference. He did not judge me or treat me unfairly. I had no weight related complications-or any at all really, and he never once acted like this was a surprise. GUESS WHAT?!!? I'M FLUFFY BUT ALSO VERY HEALTHY! WHO KNEW?!?
My labor was tough but worth it and I didnt need a c-section and didnt have a huge baby like everyone thinks overweight women will. Kimber was 6lbs 12oz and I pushed her out all by myself!
I stayed active with yoga and walking while I was pregnant and I only gained 20lbs. I've already lost 25!
I'll stop rambling now, but the bottom line is that with great support from forums like this and a fantastic doctor, your dream pregnancy is possible, even if you are overweight, so don't give up!!

Precisely! I was so nervous that I would be miserable and nervous my whole pregnancy but I found the right group of people and I was happy as a clam! I will certainly post pictures but unfortunately I'm rather dumb when it comes to internet things and I don't know how! If someone would like to help me, I will post them right away!

Roskow, when you click on "Post Reply", cursor down to "Additional Options".

You will see "Attach Files", then click on the "Manage Attachments" button. You can add up to 4 pics from your own computer files or if you have a free photo sharing account like "Photobucket" you can just copy the url into your post.

This is from the sites FAQ on posting images!

Attachments and Images
How do I attach a file to a post?

To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main 'New Post' or 'New Thread' page and not 'Quick Reply'. To use the main 'New Post' page, click the 'Post Reply' button in the relevant thread.

On this page, below the message box, you will find a button labelled 'Manage Attachments'. Clicking this button will open a new window for uploading attachments. You can upload an attachment either from your computer or from another URL by using the appropriate box on this page. Alternatively you can click the Attachment Icon to open this page.

To upload a file from your computer, click the 'Browse' button and locate the file. To upload a file from another URL, enter the full URL for the file in the second box on this page. Once you have completed one of the boxes, click 'Upload'.

Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window. You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.

What files types can I use? How large can attachments be?

In the attachment window you will find a list of the allowed file types and their maximum sizes. Files that are larger than these sizes will be rejected. There may also be an overall quota limit to the number of attachments you can post to the board.

How do I add an image to a post?

If you have uploaded an image as an attachment, you can click the arrow next to the 'Attachment Icon' and select it from the list. This will be inserted into your post and can be located where you want it displayed.

To include an image that is not uploaded as an attachment and is located on another website, you can do so by copying the full URL to the image, (not the page on which the image is located), and either pressing the 'Insert Image' icon or by typing [img] before the URL and [/img] after it, ensuring that you do not have any spaces before or after the URL of the image. You can insert pictures from your albums (?) in this way too.
