Heather - hang in there! the end is very near. With all the good care you have taken of your body, you will have a super speedy recovery and be up and running in no time, I promise. Plus seeing that bundle of joy is the best medicine ever! People affected by RLS - the only trick that helped me (I also have RLS when not…

Heather - are you still hanging on? Hannah's nursery looks fabulous, lucky girl! I'm back from the hospital, Claire and Vincent showed up at 32weeks…

Hi Heather, take heart..the end is in sight :-) If you feel more pain be extra carefull because it *could* be preterm labour. Hopefully it wont be and you will go full term :-) I feel for you because for us it is much harder lazying around than being active :-( The doctor confirmed yesterday that I'm 50% effaced (since…

Last night I didnt sleep at all due to all night long contractions which…

Well ... I have overdone it.... last night I was having more pressure and Braxton Hicks than normal, back pain, well the usual 3rd trimester misery and couldn t sleep getting up every 45 minutes to pee!!!. Just to make sure I called the hospital in the morning; I thought it was just round ligaments playing tricks on me and…

Holly - thanks for the advice, I can' t believe it's 3 weeks already wow time flies. It is reassuring to know that your recovery is well under way and of course we have to do what's best for the baby/ies. Take care Amy - wow very very impressive, I bet these pictures will inspire everyone here when we feel down or have no…

I have such a sweet tooth: fruit, any kind: red berries, cherries, bananas, grapes, pears, apples ... mmm so refreshing! I can do without meat for a year but no fruit would be a nightmare

Heather good luck and keep us posted on the results, not very long now until D day! Rayna let us know the result tomorrow,its so exciting - we found out at 18W as well, could have been earlier but both babies were a bit shy Next week I'm having my 32 weeks appointment, and pregnancy leave officially starts at the end of…

SmileGirl wow you are doing so well with little Ellie, take care and fingers crossed for the breast feeding to continue well. Kittycatsss - I do experience the same pattern as you: I started pregnancy at a normal weight at 112 pounds (5'4), gained not an ounce until week 20 then I slightly increased calories (by the…

I'm in my 3rd tri with twins and had a few bad days due to anemia and the babies pumping all they can from me :-); what I would say to you is listen to your body, if you are tired, rest, give yourself a break! don't do anything crazy. You are building one baby or more, this is tiring enough. There will be other days when…

Congrats Holly, for bringing a healthy beautiful little girl to this world. I wish you a very speedy recovery and lots of happiness

Hello Ladies Just a thought....On the sushi issue... over here they have created vegetarian sushi...ok not really in the original spirit of the Japanese but hey at least you can supress the craving if you love them. Yesterday my girlfriends came over and we all had sushis, and I didnt feel left out because I choose those…

Great idea heathercrist1! You ladies are setting impressive goals; well done and best wishes to you all. I'm setting low goals because boy third trimester is starting and I can feel the difference in energy levels. -do not exceed calories count and no junk carlories -limit weight gain this month without dieting, target 6…

hi Krys, it does happen so only focus on the baby's size. I wasn't showing at all until week 20 (pregnant, 1st children); but now i'm huge :-) even thought weight gain is ok. We all show differently. Maybe it takes you a few more weeks to really get into that growth spurt. As long as you eat enough My mother in law only…

Hello everyone and happy September to all of us! Joining now at 27 weeks, pregnant with twins (boy and girl). Wishing you all a healthy pregnancy

Well done to you! Its amazing that you still do quite heavy exercise at week 20, wow. I'm also pregnant with twins, week 27 and so far gained 16 pounds, most of them since week 18-20. I had to stop running very early as nausea or shortness of breath would make it impossible. Weight gain accelerates though as the weeks pass…
