Need to dial in my food!
I just printed out last weeks food log to take to my midwife tomorrow. Looking back over my logs I rarely eat all my calories and I don't get much calcium. I've gained less than 3 lbs and I'm 17 weeks. I guess I'll see what she says before I stress too much. I'm on a restricted diet (AIP paleo, with added eggs, chocolate…

Hi, I've been working out throughout the first trimester of this pregnancy and now in starting the second trimester I've noticed after I do intense resistance workouts that I have to lie down and have a piece of fruit right away or I feel like fainting.

Late October/Early November 2017 Babies
I thought I would get this started since there are a few of us all around the same time. I don't know that there will be much to post, but figured why not!

Recovery sleepwear for pregnancy aches?
Did anyone else see that article/promotion for Under Armour's athlete recovery sleepwear? From the description of the technology I imagine it would be safe for pregnant women, but I'm curious if we think it would help with pregnancy aches and pains. Any thoughts? Anyone try them? They are quite pricey ($99 for just the…

Experience with gestational diabetes
I am at super high risk for gestational diabetes and wonder if there's any harm in trying to eat as if I already have it. I will ask my dr but I don't see him for another 2 weeks and thought I'd gather thoughts in the meantime. Thanks

1st Pregnancy Weight Gain
I'm 32 years old, and started out my pregnancy pretty overweight. 5'8 and 193. I'm at 24 weeks now and 199. I have a Fitbit Charge 2, and I've decided to start counting calories again to try to reign in the weight gain for the upcoming third trimester, which I'm terrified of. I keep having to remind myself how much I…

Protien Powder during pregnancy?
We aren't pregnant yet but during my last pregnancy my doctor said I could use protein supplement if I could find a powder that didn't have a bunch of extra vitamins, additives, or artificial sweeteners in it. I've looked all over but it seems that all the protien powders out there are loaded in vitamins, crazy extra…

Borderline GD
Hi everyone, I just had my glucose test and based on my results I look to have borderline GD. Is there anything I can do about it besides watch what I eat and exercise?

33 More Days!
I'm scheduled now for a c-section at 39w3d. That's January 11th. I've stopped exercising mostly...after walking for more than 5 minutes I start having braxton hicks and feel like the baby is trying to fall out. That's not the case since I'm pretty sure my cervix is high and tight...I don't progress through labor, that's…

Hey all! I'm currently 18w6d with baby #2 and I'm experience some pubic pain after walking decent distances (around a mile or so - sometimes less).
