I popped to the doctors last week as I kept having dizzy spells where I would be stood up and would suddenly start seeing stars and getting weak.
She checked my Blood Pressure and said it was a little low which is probably causing it.
She said a lot of it (including headaches) is probably caused by lack of fluid too, said I should be drinking even more when pregnant and to be honest I hadn't upped it before she said.
My doctor told me this too. I'm trying to POUND the water, especially because I've been craving salty foods like pickles and crackers. I've never been sensitive to salt but I find now that I have to either closely watch my salt intake or drink boatloads of water, otherwise my weight goes up temporarily and my rings are tight in the morning. Anyone else noticing this? It's crazy! I've starting taking my rings off at night - they used to almost slide around on my fingers! They still do in the middle of the day but in the am I can hardly get them off.0 -
I've been having a lot of dizzy spells too. Found out I have low blood pressure and low iron levels. Solution is lots of water and 20 -28 mg of ferrous sulfate. It has also helped increase my energy levels, no longer sleeping all the time.0

I'm feeling pretty good here.. 17 weeks now- hoping to start feeling some movement soon, the midwife said this kid is a wiggle worm and since then I've been paying more attention to my body to see if I feel anything unusual. Maybe I do?
I've been getting very fatigued lately.. a few months ago I could run a mile, now walking up the steps gets me winded... I didn't think I'd feel so "pregnant" for another few months.
Hope everyone's doing well!0 -

Hello ladies!
I'm due on April 20th (Easter Sunday) with my third. My first 2 were very overdue though, 10 days and 12 days, so this could end up being a May baby!
I've got my scan tomorrow and we'll find out the gender. We get scans at 12 weeks and 20 weeks in England, where i live.
I'm eating slightly below maintenance calories, which is still 300 more calories a day than I was eating, and I'm working out an average of 4 times a week. My BMI was 24.9 when I first got pregnant, so only just in the healthy range! I put on loads of weight in my 2nd pregnancy, so I worry a lot about weight gain.0 -
It is official, I'm having another boy! So that makes four boys for me
*I could really use some suggestions for more boy names

What are your other boys called? I have one boy (so far!) called Jack.0 -
Im just back from my 20 week scan and found out we're having another girl! We have a boy who's 4.5 and a girl who's 2.5 already.0
-
I just realized that I never updated, we're having a boy! Our due date is now April 13th.
Hooray, 22 weeks tomorrow!

Samuel, Nicolas & Ryan.... I really like Jackson but it got vetoed because it's to popular. I don't get that since all my boys names have been on the popular list at some point.0 -

Like I said, my son is Jack, which was actually the no.1 most popular boy's name in England at the time, but we both loved the name, and it really suits him. I'm a teacher, so naming my kids has been quite hard, although with girls it's easier as there's more choice! My daughter is called Maya. For this one we like Zoë.
Boys names I'd thought of in case this one was a boy........Isaac, Noah, Luke, Liam, Ben, Tom... I also like Chris and Matthew, but we have those in our family already.
It's interesting the difference between popular names over here, and in the US. Ryan is very popular here. So is Jordan, for both girls and boys.0 -
Its a girl! And I had "elevated glucose levels" in my pee yesterday...so I am getting sent for my gestational diabetes test 2 weeks early. (Still not until after Christmas though....so I can live in blissful ignorance over the holidays...)0

hi everyone, I'm new here.
I'm almost 22 wks (this sunday) with my first baby who is confirmed to be a little boy! We are so exited! My EDD is April 13th 0 -

Does everyone get the glucose tolerance test in the US? We only get checked in England if we have a family history of diabetes (I do so have to have it) or a BMI above 30. Or if they find glucose in your pee. We have the test at 28 weeks.

I'm pretty sure it's standard in the US. At my appointment next week, we'll be setting up the test and I'll be receiving the nasty orange drink :noway: I'm 23 weeks 4 days and will be getting the test around 28 weeks.0 -

That drink is vile! I'm having the test at 28 weeks, in Jan, and I'll be cursing my dad and his type 2 diabetes. When i had the test the first time I nearly passed out. I have low blood pressure, and I think quite low blood sugar, which doesn't mix well with fasting and a disgusting orange drink!0 -
Hi everyone! I just joined the group. I'm pregnant with my first, EDD 4/26/14, and so excited to hit the halfway mark. I've been using MFP for the past few days to try to make sure I'm eating enough calories for the little peanut. I lost 10 lbs due to morning sickness my first trimester and now am having trouble eating enough due to a GI disorder. I have to eat small meals low in fat and fiber and take in a lot of my calories in liquid form - basically think the opposite of almost all eating advice you've ever gotten! I'm going in for my 20 week ultrasound and check up on Tuesday and hoping I'll have started gaining weight. Lovely to meet all of you!0

I live in Canada but I think the name trends are very similar due to television shows and movies. I'm having trouble settling on a name because I work for the school district and can associate names with kids I don't likeMy boys call the baby...."The Forth" or TM for short. I have a feeling this knick name might stick.... LOL

Hi Mamas! I am expecting my fourth baby on April 24, but will schedule a section as the date gets closer. This will be my second girl - yippee!! No names yet - the few I liked my oldest shot down
anyway, I just started back with tracking so hoping it will help keep me honest. Last three babies I gained 35, 40, and 50 lbs and when I got pg this time around I was already about 25 lbs over where I'd like to be. I've gained 20 so far and am hoping to keep it to 15 more for a total of 35. Looking forward to sharing this journey with you all! 0 -
Hey all, I am a first time mum, due on the 27th April - 24 weeks on Sunday and expecting a little boy.
I have a very high bmi so am trying to use MFP to ensure I stay on track and not gain too much during the pregnancy - I lost almost 50 lbs with MFP a couple of years ago but have binge-eating disorder so put it all back on Hoping if I can get back into regularly logging it will help after I have given birth to get rid of the excess weight once and for all. 0 -
Hi - I'm new to the group! Due April 15th-ish here First time pregnant and we're expecting a boy!
I've already gained too much weight, so I'm back to MFP for logging to keep my diet and exercise in check for the rest of the pregnancy.0 -
How are we doing going into the third Trimester April Mom's?
We had our first pre-natal class last night, it seems like it could be helpful.
Apparently I am measuring small so they are sending me for another US next week to make sure baby girl isn't also measuring small
Having a hard time with fitness as I have had a pretty bad cold since Christmas that just won't go away, and I was in a car accident on Friday so now I don't have a car to get around and am still a bit stiff and on strict orders not to overdo anything this week.
I was making a lot of yummy protein filled smoothies...but hubby lost the ring for the blender so now with no car I can't even get into town to buy a new blender...so that's really frustrating as those smoothies have been a life saver to make sure I was getting fresh veggies into my diet (STILL having weird food aversions).
How are you all??0
