relationship with partner?
I'm 34 weeks and I feel like the last two months or so, my husband and I have been fighting way more than we ever did. We've been together since we were teenagers and are now in our mid-thirties so I have a lot of time to compare it to. Right now he is mad at me because we both wanted to go see a movie and he feels like I…

Salt is my worst nightmare! Anyone else?
The other day I was at work and I could tell my blood pressure was rising. I wasn't upset or anxious, I could just feel my heart start pounding harder so I asked a coworker to take my blood pressure (I work at a medical clinic). My blood pressure was through the roof which is extremely unusual for me. I have perfect blood…

Questions about calorie goals
Hi all, I'm sure this has been asked plenty, but how do you figure out your calorie goals? I am quite large (BMI 38) and was told not to gain too much weight, possibly none. So far that hasn't been too hard but I imagine it will get tougher in the latter 2nd and 3rd trimesters. Second, and I apologize because this one's…

March 2014
Hello ladies, I am new to the group. I am 26 weeks along with #2. I was on here all last year trying to lose the last 10lbs of baby weight from my daughter, but didn't manage to do it before I got pregnant again. So with that, I am trying to keep my total gain at 35lbs. It's going to be tough as I am up 25lb already. The…

Need Christmas gift ideas!
Hey gals- my husband and I are going low-key for Christmas this year since baby is coming in 6 weeks and we have already spent a ton on gear. We already discussed that we are getting each other a small camcorder for X-mas... but I want to get him something else! Is there anything you have bought your husband that he…

New to group, due June 5
Hi everyone! I've been on MFP for some time and took a break during my first trimester. Before I got pregnant, I was doing HIIT type workouts and a lot of strength training (I work out with a trainer once a week and have been for quite awhile). Now that the first trimester fatigue is gone I'm looking forward to ramping up…

Calorie goal in 3rd Trimester
I am 30 weeks and I currently have my calorie goal set to gain a half pound a week. I typically get close to that goal, some days are under and some are over. I never restrict myself if I'm getting close to my goal but I will try to substitute a lower calorie food if hungry. My problem is since hitting 27 weeks I've gained…

Where to give birth? Midwife-led units.
I live in England and I'm pregnant with my 3rd. I live equidistant from 2 hospitals. I had both of my children in one of them, as it's considered to be my more local one, and the maternity ward had the better reputation. I've had really easy births, just used gas and air, and not needed stitches either time, despite being…

When to tell whom...
A month ago I found out I was pregnant and within less than a week I had a miscarriage. I got engaged in that time and we were getting married in Feb. I told my boss I needed that day off after I miscarried and she asked if I was pregnant and when I told her that I miscarried she said no offense but it's probably for the…

Water woes
For some reason I can not drink just plain water right now. Every time I do it upsets my stomach. I have never had this happen with either of my other pregnancies. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can still get water in without drinking water?

interest in a group for women who have PCOS & are pregnant?
I would start the group and run it. Just wanted to see if there were interested women out there. The group would be for not only pregnancy but postpartum as well.

How much weight gain did your doctor suggest?
My doc said I'll need to gain about 20-25 lbs during the pregnancy. While a 20 lb weight gain would make me happy, everything else I've read suggests 25-35 lbs, with 25 lbs more ideal for shorter woman. So, I was kind of surprised, but didn't say anything. Note, I'm short, a tad over 5'1", and weigh right around 100lbs…

Who did you tell before end of first trimester?
Did you spill the beans at all to anyone? Or was it just between you, husband/significant other, and care-givers?

Im trying so hard to eat right and exercise every other day interchanging lots of cardio and weight training (mostly in my legs, since they become tree trunks when Im preg, this is my third) Also, Ive developed a…

Staying in shape
What are you all doing to stay in shape and minimize the weight gain? I've been walking, doing bodyweight exercises and lighter weights, and yoga. However the last week has been a challenge - my hips and lower back have been sore for a couple weeks but the last week has been brutal. I think I'm developing sciatica - the…

Hair loss?
I naturally have very thick hair (I usually get it thinned out so it doesnt look bushy while having shorter hair), and I was thinking at first it was that time of year that my hair is shedding away, but even my stylist noticed how considerably thin it was and she thought I got it thinned out by someone else. When I…

Insomnia
Urg, it's midnight and I'm taking a break from trying to fall asleep. I'm shattered and have been hanging out for bedtime since about 6pm. Hit the hay at 9.30 when bubs promptly began her nightly calisthenics, however this time added kicking me fiercely in the cervix to her routine, which was kinda hard to ignore (actually…

Boy or girl. Does it matter to your?
I had an early ultrasound and was told that we probably are having a girl. Having a boy already, that made me very exited. However, I'm pretty sure that if our 20 week scan shows its a boy , Ill be equally thrilled. There are things that make me exited about both having a boy or a girl. But thinking more deeply about it.…
