Thoughts on homebirth (UK)
Hi, I'm just over 34 weeks pregnant with my first child and I'm thinking of having a home birth. Both my nan and mum had home births and hospital births and they both preferred the home experience.

math doesn't add up.
I'm so frustrated over here:( I'll try to be brief. Start pg 5'9", 186, BMI 27.5 By 20 weeks I was up 20lbs. Ten or more of this happened over the holidays (which is pretty typical for me to gain that much at the holidays even when not pg!) At 20 weeks I started getting grossed out, so turned to MFP and started being much…

Home birth anyone?
Anyone here having a home birth? This is my third pregnancy and I am hoping to have one! My first two pregnancies ended up being inductions which were really hard!

Calcium on MFP
I went to look and see what the calcium settings were to see if I wanted to adjust it to make sure I'm getting enough and it's just a percent. Does anyone know what they consider 100%? 1000mg? 1200? It knows I'm female, does it account for that? Thanks!

Help! Bra problems.
So, prepregnancy I was a 32F. If any of y'all are around the size, you know that can be hard to find that size. The town I live in happens to be just small enough that we dont have an Intimacy, Nordstrom, Victoria's Secret or any other specialty store. Dillard's is about the best we got in the way of a bra store. I also…
