Pack and Plays
Hey all! I am in need of finding something that I can use at my parents house for the baby to sleep in. I have been told to get a pack and play since they have bassinets in them?? I am not really sure, the pack and plays i remember were just a play pen for a toddler. Do any of your guys have these? which ones did you get?

Rapid Weight Gain? Help?
So...I know from looking over the "How much have you gained thread?" that our bodies are all totally different--some will gain more or less at different times in their pregnancy. Still...for the most part I've been having a slow steady gain. That is until my third trimester started a few weeks ago. Between week 26 and week…

When in 2nd tri should we increase cals beyond maint?
Hello! I am thankful and happy to be entering my 2nd trimester on Tuesday. My starting BMI (and therefore weight) was in the overweight range so my target goal has been a 20 pound gain total. I'm on track for the first trimester and am wondering at which week should I add cals. I'm currently between 1800-1900 plus exercise…

mfp settings
As you gain weight during your pregnancy, did you track it on MFP? I was thinking if you track it, your calories needed go up in addition to the setting of gaining 1/2 pound per week during the second and third trimester. Or did you not track your weight and just added 300 calories based on your pre-pregnancy weight.

3rd Babies
Anyone notice their 3rd pregnancy to be very different than the first two? I also would love any fitness/ diet advice anyone has to offer. My 1st pregnancy I gained 65 pounds and then 60 with the 2nd. Since then I've become very involved in running and I find it very frustrating that I can't do as much as I used to, no…

So, I was feeling really hopeful yesterday when I got my seabands and morning sickness vitamins. I seemed to feel better right away..... Then a few hours later the nausea returned.

Pregnancy Craving Satisfied! LOL
So, yesterday I was craving crusty bread and different kinds of cheese....... stopped off at a little deli on my way home, got a french baguette and the lady behind the deli counter was kind enough to humor me and slice her way through no less than 4 different kinds of cheese, at only a couple slices per "kind"..... can't…

Midwives and birth plans
Hi ladies, I would like to know if you have a birth plan set yet. My husband and I have been talking about how we want things to go, and trying to make some decisions about where we want to be and what we want to do. Also, I'm leaning towards going for a natural birth. I like the idea of being able to move around and not…

Any other Pregnant FitBit users?
We got ours a weeks before we found out I was pregnant, but I love it. It's especially helpful now, when I'm feeling like a sloth and want to lay on the couch all day. I look down at my fitbit and see I need to TRY and make it to my 10,000 step goal........ It's a great psychological motivator. My husband and I compete on…

Great Pregnancy Timeline
I've seen a lot of people asking when the 2nd and 3rd trimesters start, as well as trying to figure out how far along they are in months. The best timeline I've seen is here: www.baby2see.com/timeline.html It breaks it down by trimester, as well as tells you how many months you are each week (so, at 23 weeks I am 5.3…

I don't want to eat.....anything
Ok, that statement isn't 100% true but it's pretty close. I had gained a bit of weight cause I was eating like a cow and now I've lost it all because I don't want to eat anything. I went out for chinese with my husband and ate simply because I had to, now it's close to dinner time I know I should/need to eat again but…

Induction
So I was wondering what your experiences were with this. I am honestly really afraid to have to get induced, because the women I've talked to, it makes their labors more intense and more painful. I want to try my best to not use drugs. I know I'm worrying ahead here, but that's what I do. I'm currently 29 weeks pregnant,…
