Just a quick stop in to wish everyone well. I’ve been finding it hard to keep up with all the posts; I read most but never have time to reply. What’s worse is that my schedule will only get worse in the upcoming months, so I apologize if I’m not always active on this board or if I miss a comment. But I do hope everyone is healthy and active!0

Anyone opting for a non natural childbirth? Also are stool softeners safe during pregnancy?

I plan on an epidural. I am also not opposed to induction either but don't want to be induced super early or anything. I think it's awesome that some women have such strong feeling about letting nature do the work and being au natural and admire their strength. I just feel like the actual delivery is more of a medical procedure for me.
Yes, stool softeners are safe during pregnancy. I take 3 every night.0 -

I am of course hoping to be able to do it natural, but I tried for several hours with my son and couldn't. I ended up getting an epidural with him and it really helped things progress, after that labor was nothing, I actually fell asleep when I was dialated to a 2 and woke up ready to push, so the epidural worked great in my case. I really hope to NOT be induced this time though. Last time I had preeclampsia and REALLY high BP, so they had too, but hoping this time I won't, if I do I guess I do though.0 -
No you won't!!! I'll be there and so will my preggos running buddy too. We're doing the marathon one. SUPER EXCITED!!!
Don't know how I'll manage to stay up but I'm pumped!
Elce 28W3DMorning ladies! Man, am I way WAY behind!!!
Workload is still crazy but I count my blessings every day that I have another day of OT, especially since DH hasn't found any employment yet. We've both began to noticed that with my work load increase that not only am I more physically tired but mentally as well. And oh boy if these hormones havent' been in full gear lately!! Comes with the territory I guess?
Attending the TWILIGHT Breaking Dawn Midnight Showing tomorrow night!! SUPER DUPER excited!! I'm sure I'll be the only pregnant woman in line with a bunch of teenagers :laugh: but it's a tradition that hubby and I have had since the very first movie came out and I'm not going to break it now! :smooched:
Doctors apt is on Monday and I'm anxious to hear what he'll say. I'm not showing that the scale has increased, but my appetite sure has- so hopefully he'll say that I haven't lost any additional weight and that I'm on the right track.
Miss all of you dearly, and I promise to try to stay more on top of the boards!! ((hugs)) :flowerforyou:0 -
Hello all!
It's late into November but I'd like to join your group. I am 7wks pregnant with my first child and I'm already gaining weight - The scale # changes a lot but at least 2lbs. And my gut is all bloated. Not my best look! I've been exercising pretty regularly but I need to get back into MFP & log! Morning sickness seems to make me crave high cal foods. If my stomach is empty, I get nauseated. Despite my gain, my husband and I are very excited. Hoping to pick up some tips from all of you fit, fabulous pregnant ladies!!!0 -
Uhoh... we haven't heard from Heather in a while. Maybe that means Charlee is on her way here? Fingers are crossed for you.0

morning ladies! so yesterday was the start to jessica 're-focusing!!' and i have to say i had a great day nutrition wise and exercise wise! the problem that i have been facing is the cafe here at work. lunches are free and the chefs are REALLY good and they put out these amazing meals every day coupled by a delicious dessert. so my goal is to not eat dessert every day (which i was doing in the past) ... so yesterday went well - i had my yoga class last night which is always great (i slept so good last night too!) - i am feeling great about myself today!
rayna - i am keeping my fingers crossed for you and the midwife situation! hopefully one of these last four will have good news for you. and i totally agree...i really wish i knew what i knew now when i first got pregnant! but i guess thats the beauty of being a first timer!!! we'll be seasoned pro's the second time around!!
about the natural birth - i am keeping a very open mind as far as my labor. if i am feeling good then i will definitely go natural. but if the pain is way too much i am 100% open to the epidural.
hope everyone has a great day!0 -

Yay for Heather! Welcome Charlee!
Babeed- You're not a nerd, I'll tell you I wasn't all into the books before the movie came out when it did and I saw it I checked the books from the library and couldn't wait to see the next movie and so on. To tell you my fav movie is Lord of the Rings & I watch 7 watch & still at the end.
HAHA i love Sci Fi
Jessica- I alsio had better choices yesterday & made me a romaine salad today for lunch. I brought tons of fruit to much on, and I must STOP hitting the vending machine. It's hard but we can do it!
Welcome Roobean!
Cindy-I was thinking about you yesterday. Good to see you're ok!
I walked for lunch yesterday a nice 20 mins.

SO excited to hear that Charlee has arrived! AND a day before she was supposed to get induced! That is so great! Can't wait to hear her story!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful week - it's getting crazy up in my neck of the woods! We're supposed to get over 10 cms of snow today and it's supposed to get to MINUS 25 degrees Celsius here...GROSS :sad: The roads are really bad and I'm just wishing I could be at home in my pjs cuddling with my hubby and our puppy Sophie by the fire place...sigh*
I really feel the urge to be a hermit and not leave my house when it gets like this! Too bad for having to work everyday lol
I get my hair cut tonight, I'm beyond excited my hair is getting out of control. I have really thick hair so it gets crazy if I don't get it cut regularly and the last time I had it done was July. I'm thinking I might get some longer side bangs because my hair is all one length in the front and I don't think it compliments my face very well...we'll see!
Last night I did some major cleaning and am making some good progress cleaning out the nursery...(it was pretty much our junk room for storing all sorts of weird stuff and a lot of RANDOM paperwork that we've been procrastinating on filing away or shredding) soooo yeah it's been a project in to say the least...we also have a massive bookshelf that's FULL of books in there and I finally got all the books packed away in boxes and Jay put them in the basement. Almost all done! It feels good. I can't wait for the furniture to come! I also did a lot of stretching last night because my lower back and hips were killing me and I did a few sets of squats and lunges but that's about it.
I'm getting into the habit of playing music for Mason when I go to bed - just from my iphone but I think he likes it Kind of cool
Also, still waiting to hear back from the remaining 4 Midwifery Practices in Edmonton...fingers crossed...
Anyway, better get back to work.
Happy Thursday :flowerforyou:0 -
