Anyone slowed down the exercise? Do you stop?
I am curious if there is a cutoff for exercising. I do get a little nervous going to the gym. What if I over do it? What if I go in to labor? What if I get hurt? All these little thoughts. I have found myself slipping back into the tired phase and wonder if it's my body telling me to back off. What have your doctors told…

Short Cervix?! Need advice/support
Hi Everyone. I just got back from the Dr. and I'm a little concerned. My cervix is only measuring at 2.3 cm and I'm 17W 4D with my first baby. The doc is giving me a prescription for a capsule that is supposed to keep my cervix from shortening any more, and I have to go back in 2 weeks for another ultrasound. I made the…

I hate nausea!
Sometimes I feel like I have nausea, indigestion, heartburn AND hunger all at the same time, which is weird. I've been drinking a ton of club soda which helps a little. Any other tips? I'm also ok with any over the counter meds that are safe in pregnancy, just bit sure which ones would work well. But also any foods or…

My baby girl is due late August :D
Hi everyone, I weighed myself this morning and have gained so much weight in this pregnancy. The first 14 weeks the only way I could stop myself being sick was to eat. This is when I gained the bulk of it. Anyway I have 15weeks left and I know I will gain. But I want to minimise it as much as possible. I plan to breastfeed…

Do you think a body combat class would be too much? I'm nearly 15 weeks I haven't really got a belly yet and I've been trying to exercise regularly. I've been wanting to join my friend for a session at the gym and the next time she's going she is doing a body combat class.

Calorie allotment seems SUPER high?
HI everyone - I'm 24wks along in my 4th pregnancy. I signed up with MFP to track my sugar intake more than anything (I don't have GD, by the way.) I have gained 25 pounds so far, which puts me at 175lbs, up from a pre-pregnancy weight of 150 (I'm 5"7".) If this pregnancy goes the way of my others, I'll end up gaining about…

Losing weight after baby-for moms.
Has anyone had any luck losing their weight fairly quickly after the baby comes? And how long did it take? What was your calorie goal during AND after the pregnancy?? Right now, I'm at 2,000-2,5000 a day, but I plan to cut it back to no more than 1,200 a day once my little guy is here, and I would like to work out ASAP.…

Extreme hunger
I'm either 6 or 7 weeks pregnant (not totally sure yet), but I've been doing pretty well so far with eating well and exercising 5 times a week. I'm tired, but I'm sticking with it! All of a sudden today, the extreme hunger has hit!! We ordered pizza at work and I was so hungry I just couldn't stop eating. When I got home,…

Experiences with very long (100mi +) bike rides?
TL;DR: I'd love to hear anyone's experiences, good or bad, with going on endurance bike rides during pregnancy. Either if you kept doing very long rides with some climbing and it turned out fine, or you wish you hadn't, or if you stopped and what your reasoning was. Longer story: I'm signed up to do the AIDS/Lifecycle in…

Advice for race
I am 14 weeks and have been preparing for a 10k on May 10th (with 100% approval from my OB). This will be my first 10k (I've been ready for awhile but where I live the weather hasn't been conducive to actually running anything!), and I'm just not sure how to prepare now these last 10 days or so leading up to it, especially…

Anyone being monitored for changes in cervix length?
The length of my cervix has shortened between week 20 and 22. I now have to have my cervix measured once per week until it stops shortening. If it does not change next week, I go back to appointments every two weeks. Fingers crosses, it won't get any shorter in the next week. Just hoping to find some people to share their…

Nutritional Goals & Values
So, I was "custom" setting up my food goals, and I realized I wasn't entirely sure what to set some of the stuff at! So I did some research in an "eating for pregnancy" book I have and here's what I set mine for: Protein - 20% (which amounted to around 75 grams, book recommends 71) Carbs - 50% (188 grams, book recommends…

My blood pressure is still…

Hungry ALL THE TIME....Help??
I'm 14 weeks and have now gained almost 20 pounds. I had set my calories to lose 1/2 a pound a week since I know I have a slower metabolism from having dieted for years (lost 100+ pounds). I could NOT stick to it, and I think the hunger made me overeat once I gave in. So now I set my calories to gain 1/2 a pound a week,…
-
curious??
Curious as to how you have gone with your weight gain if you have eaten whatever you want but still stayed under your calorie goal majority of the time as opposed to being really strict with what you eat.
