cramping at 29 weeks
For the last 2 days or so I've been cramping like crazy. I know the heat isn't helping. I'm not having any bleeding and while i've noticed that baby's activity has decreased a little bit he is still moving around a little during his normal times. I'm trying to drink more water also, but nothing seems to be helping! I know…

Baby Jogger?
I'm hoping to get one off of Craigslist, so I figure if I start looking now, I should be able to find one by the time the baby comes in December. Any suggestions on what to look for? There are so many options online that I'm not sure where to start!

Go away fatigue!!
Going into my 13th week and so tired. I have no motivation to do anything, and that includes prepping my food for the week. Before I got pregnant I had a great little routine going my nails on the weekends, making tortillas for the week, slicing my fruit and veg, walking, but now that's all gone by the wayside because I…

Does anyone else find this happens to them?
I'm 19w now, and since the beginning of this pregnant I haven't had bad morning sickness. Now, I do find that I will get nauseous if I don't eat something every 3 hours. For example, yesterday I went 7 hours in between lunch & dinner and I almost vomited in the sink. Does anyone else find this happens to them?

Cardio Versus Strength...Help?!
I have a question, I am trying to get in as much cardio as I can (some days I have to literally force myself to two youtube zumba songs...two...but I figured it's better than nothing). I find that it is so much easier for me to do strength training. I love doing thigh, leg, arm, and ab workouts and can do those almost…

I plan to ask my doctor at my first appointment but that's in 3 weeks.

Your "go to" Pregnancy Meal Plan!
Hello fellow Mommies! I am finally out of my, "need to eat any and all carbs that I can possibly find!!!!" stage and am looking for some meal ideas. I have always eaten pretty healthy, but find that my "go to's" are things I should limit during pregnancy...and then my other usual choices just don't sound appealing anymore.…

placenta previa?
Unfortunately I was diagnosed with complete placenta previa (CPP) at 9wks 3days. I'm 10wks today. I've read a LOT on this subject and I'm trying not to freak out. A large chunk of women have said their's was resolved enough to not have any further complications. Others have not been so lucky. I'm on baby number 2, I'm…

Brewer's Diet
I did a search on the topic but didnt see much... Brewer's diet has any one tried it, has it been successful meaning lowered blood pressure and a healthy baby, how safe was it, did your doctor approve of the diet? I'm already starting with some hypertension early into my pregnancy (11 weeks), and I'm freaking out.

Denise Austin's Fit & Firm Pregnancy
Soooo I was doing 30 Day Shred the two months prior to conception but one of my big red flags that we might have got it this month was the week prior to my BFP I was having an increasingly harder time doing the routine. I was no majorly fit person before but I couldn't do more than 30 seconds of the cardio at a time. The…

Appropriate weight gain?
Ok, pre-pregnancy I was a little heavier that I'd like to be, but not technically overweight. In the first couple of weeks after I found out I was pregnant, I somehow gained ten pounds, despite the fact that I could barely choke down a few bites at every meal, and half of that came back up. I honestly don't know how that…

placenta encapsulation
Anyone here done this or planning on it? I have read so many benefits about doing it including greatly reducing PPD and other symptoms after birth. It can also greatly increase your milk supply. I had major issues with hair loss after my last birth so I am hoping this will help me. Despite the yuck factor for some, I think…

New here, expecting January 2014
Hello ladies! I am due 1/27 with my second child. Unfortunately, the only thing that seems to be helping my morning sickness right now is large amounts of food : / I know I am eating way too many calories, hence I decided to join this group for some healthy support. I've gained 5 pounds already, and I am already overweight.
