Exercise
How long are all you guys exercising???? I used to exercise about 2 to 2.5 hours a day before getting pregnant but have had to cut that in half just because I am too exhausted. Honestly some days its takes a lot out of me to workout for 45 minutes. Is this normal? everyone said you get more energy in your second trimester…

Morning sickness and trying to eat
This is the first time that I've really experienced morning sickness during pregnancy. I got really lucky during my first two pregnancies with my boys, so this is so new to me. I'm finding it so hard to eat these days. Sometimes I can eat, and eat, and eat with no problems. But then I have days like today, where even…

Baby names
Who has their baby names picked out? I'll be 31 weeks on Monday, and DH and I are still absolutely stuck for girl names. We each have a favourite, and we are both set on our choice. We have one name we both kind-of like, but it's a long one, and I don't think a long first name with our crazy long, hard to spell Polish last…

50 shades of gray and February due dates
Please no one take this the wrong way my mother and I thought it was funny that is all. She had read that there is a baby boom with February due dates of women who have read the series. They say that the books have improved the sex lives of many couples and because of that February will have a lot more births. I thought…

Placenta Encapsulation
Is anyone else looking into placenta encapsulation? Everything I've read about the benefits make me want to do it. Unfortunately, there aren't midwives in my area that will do it for me. Looks like my mom, hubby, and I will have some work to do after baby comes!

Vaccinations
Thoughts on vaccinations? To vaccinate or not to vaccinate? All, none, or some? I'm trying to educate myself and ask others opinions... I'm really not enjoying this part of motherhood, such a huge decision with such a huge impact.

Husband
So, I was just wondering how your signficant others (if you have them) are responding to your pregnancy. I sometimes get frustrated because I'm worrying about all this baby stuff, and my husband kind of cares, but I can tell it's not on the top of his list. In a way I want him to just enjoy his last few months of freedom…

Feeding schedule?
So I was visiting my friend the other day who has a 5 week old baby, and she has him on a feeding schedule. She woke him up while I was there to feed him. I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand it would be really nice, but on the other hand, it feels kind of mean to wake up a sleeping baby. Just wanted thoughts from…

NA Beer?
I know I will get answers from both sides, but what is everyone's opinion on having 1-2 Na Beers a WEEK (not every day)? I sure miss my beer and used to have 1-2 after work every day. It is soooo hard doing yard work and not rewarding myself with an ice cold brewsky. I know they still have some alochol in them, but I heard…
