Hypothyroidism?
Hi, I just wondered if anyone was dealing with hypothyroidism while pregnant. I have it, but have been on meds for a while and have been stable. My endocrinologist just increased my levoxyl dose from 88 to 113 ( two extra pills a week), and that seems to be going well. I'm on week 7. She also said scary things about what…

We're having a .....
Boy! Our third son! I also talked to the doctor today about the chances that I could have a VBAC since my first 2 were c-sections.

When to Buy Maternity Clothes?
Hello all! I am 5 weeks pregnant with our first child. I am SO bloated that my pants are already uncomfortably tight! I am eating very healthy, so it should not be actual weight gain. My question is...will the bloating go down to where I can wear my normal clothes a bit longer? Or should I just suck it up and buy a bigger…

I just DON'T GET IT!
Yesterday I went to my perinatologist's office for fetal monitoring. The only reason I have to do it is because... well, I don't really know, which is part of the problem in the first place. I'm "high risk" because I have lupus, asthma and I'm hypothyroid. None of these have been causing me any issues during pregnancy…
