Medical question not fitness question
Hi there, So I'm 27 years old with my second pregnancy. I have a daughter who is just over 3. With my first pregnancy I was put on bed rest for a few weeks at 6-7 months because I was having contractions and my cervix was shortening. I had spotting throughout 90% of that pregnancy, but it never got too bad so I thought…

Let's talk about Boobs
So I am 35 weeks (and so excited!!!) with my first baby and the topic that is making me crazy is breastfeeding.

I love you, Mom, but Aaaaaargh!
"I know you are trying to keep your weight under control so I picked up 1 % milk at the store." Then proceeds to pull out whoopie pies, cupcakes, and cheesecake brownies out of the shopping bag. It's the thought that counts, right? ;) (They are staying with us between house closings, it's not a regular thing, fortunately.)…

Im beginning to question things my doctor says...
Where to begin...? I like my doctor and have always felt like I can trust him but lately I am feeling confused by things he says. At my ultrasound, they told me that my baby was very long for his age. At 21 weeks he was measuring 14 inches long! Aside from that, everything else measured on track. So, my due date stayed the…

Any BTDT moms gain a lot in the 1st tri, then slow in 2nd?
I gained quite a bit in the 1st 13 weeks- almost 20 pounds. I felt totally out of control and wanted carbs all the time to help with nausea. Now, the last 2 weeks I've lost 5 pounds. I have been eating less, but definitely not starving. I'm able to track again because I'm not so darn tired (I didn't care when I was…

Cervical Length
This has nothing to do with fitness, and all with pregnancy. I am curious, what was your cervical length when you went in for your 20 week ultrasound? Mine was 3.2 which my doc said was fine, but I read that 4-5 is normal range. Anyone have similar measurements?

Rough appointment today, 28 weeks.
Well, my appointment started bad and just ended even worse. I had to see another doctor today, in fact I will see 3 more doctors during my next 3 appointments. This is how the office makes sure that I meet every doctor in the practice, so that when I do deliver, it is not a stranger delivering my baby. Anyhow, in 2 weeks I…

So the last time I went for an appointment was one month ago. I am a few days over 28 weeks and was thinking not to go for an appointment for a couple more weeks. My question is: Is there anything important that they do at the 28 weeks appointment? I am done with my GD test. What else is there?
