Chiropractor and acupuncture! I had crazy bad headaches in my 1st trimester. Went to both and I'm 38 weeks and headache free since I went. Tylenol never did a darn thing for me.

I'm a 11/11 mommy but this is #2 for me and i have had bh for about a month. They were annoying but nothing painful. Well Sunday he flipped and dropped so his head is now in my pelvic bone and when I have anything in my bladder I start getting strong painful contractions. They huuurrrrrt. Not like labor hurts though so I'm…

I read a ton of articles when I got pregnant to see how much I should be eating. Really. A lot of people say eat for 2 or don't worry about it. I gained 52lbs with my first and I took 3 years to take it off plus 10 more lbs. I wasn't about to go back there. You do not need to up your calories in your first trimester. I did…

I have always thought babies come when they are ready. My son was 3 days late but I never once thought about starting it for him. A c section scares the crap out of me. It's the last thing in the world that I would want to choose. I feel they are for emergencies and emergencies only. Let your lo pick their own birthday.

I'm not doing the Bradley Method but I do have a doula and I will say that from the time we had our ds to now 4.5 years she has increased her fee from $400 to $800. She has just gotten more experience over that time frame. When we had her first she had only been to a few births. I reccomend checking out Dona.org which is a…

Everything I have read says you do not need any additional calories during your first trimester. I changed mine from a 2lb loss (1200) to a 1 pound loss (1500) until my 2nd trimester at 14 weeks. After that I went to a .5lb loss (1720) and I'm 28 weeks today. I'm up 16lbs which is a few more than I wanted but I'll take it…

Both times it was raw meat for me. Any kind. The smell of it cooking was just too much. Last pregnancy my husband couldn't wear anything that smelled. After shave or cologne. This time it's fine. I have had a lot less issues with this pregnancy than the last. Both boys.

1st trimester is always the most exhausting. I'm pregnant with our 2nd and even though this pregnancy has been 1000% different I still spent 10 weeks so tired and sick that getting out of bed was a chore. My first pregnancy I was sick and tired for 9 months. It just depends on the luck of the draw I guess. My first was a…

I have been freaking out the past few days. So bad that I've been dreaming about gaining the same 60lbs I did with my first. Nightmares! I'm terrified of getting fat. I'm up 11lbs as of last week at 25 weeks. Tomorrow is my weigh in day and my GD test too. Sigh. I'm pretty sure I've put on another 2lbs since last week :(…

They usually say what you were doing before pregnancy you should still be able to do during unless it doesn't feel good. I had to stop running or jogging at about 3 months. The pressure on my pelvic area after was so painful I hurt for 2 days. Always check with your doctor! Listen to your body and your doctor :)

Well it's been almost 4 weeks since we started the process but we got approved to adopt the dog we want!! Now we get to drive 6 hours to go get him lol! Then I can finally tell people. I am so bad at keeping happy secrets!

We found him at a pug rescue in Oklahoma City. It's a drive but we fell in love. My husband did first lol. They are worried about us having a baby and a new dog but a few months is enough time to get him into a routine and know that he's home. We have done baby a dogs before so I'm not worried at all. I'm only worried…

This! I slept so much better with my newborn than I did in the last month. I had to pee a million times, heartburn was terrible and everything hurt. I have started sleeping with 3 pillows under me this time around so I'm pretty much sitting up. I'm 24+4 weeks and am not looking forward to the last month.

Week 3 - 150 Week 5 - 149.2 Week 7 - 147.6 Week 8 - 147 Week 10 - 148.4 Week 11 - 148.8 Week 12 - 148.4 Week 13 - 150.6 Week 14 - 151.6 Week 15 - 152.6 Week 16 - 150.6 Week 17 - 155 Week 18 - 153.4 Week 19 - 154.4 Week 20 - 155.2 Week 21 - 156.9 Week 22 - 157.6 Week 23 - 159 Week 24 - 161.4 July is an ugly month for us…

I know just how you feel. I had someone at work tell me I would get rid or at least they would become outside dogs when baby arrived. Nope. They are my babies too. That was almost 5 years ago that stupid lady said that. I have a video of bringing baby home to our 2 fur babies. They looooved him. We have since lost both to…

I had morning sickness and couldn't even think about anything but crackers for 10 weeks but after that things kind of got out of hand. I felt like I was playing a game of hungry hungry hippo lol. I added more protein and took out some carbs. Sounds simple but for someone who is still off of meat it's tough. I eat Siggis…

I was really bloated during my first trimester. Also remember your body doesn't need any extra calories during the first trimester. After that the most they suggest you need is an extra 300 per day. I went from 1200 before I knew I was pregnant to 1500 when I found out because I wanted to keep a safe number. After my first…

I use Blanqi! They are amazing. I used a regular band during my first pregnancy and I always had to rearrange it. I got my blanqis on eBay since they can run $70 each. I paid $40 for each of mine. I wear them all the time. Many people even wear them to bed. I'm not quite there yet. I bought a large long and they work great…

I love Luna bars. If I'm in a hurry I grab one for a meal and it holds me over until the next meal time. I also can eat an entire watermelon in one sitting but I always have been able to do that. It's so goooood. Protein is the key. I'm 21 weeks and I'm up 5lbs so far thanks to adding in more protein. I am not a fan of…

Week 18 - 153.4 Week 19 - 154.4 Week 20 - 155.2 I'm getting frustrated because I'm hungry and want to eat eat eat. It's hard to fight it. I have also been very tired for the last few weeks. Just to the point where I have no get up and go. Almost as bad as the first trimester. It's also been so hot here that we can't go to…

Go to a chiropractor! They work wonders if they have worked with pregnant women before. Some may not work with many. Mine works with lots of preggo ladies and even babies. She's lovely. I saw her at the start of my pregnancy but had to save my covered visits until later in pregnancy because I know what my hips will do.…

My cousin had a terrible time getting pregnant (over a year) until she changed her diet and lost 10lbs. She had to do that both times she got pregnant and almost right away she got pregnant. Something about her body just had to have those certain things to be able to get pregnant. That is my only personal experience with…

Yep. 100% the same here. This is pregnancy #2 for me. I gained about 55lbs with the first and it took me 2 years before I even started working on losing the 30lbs that was left from that. Now that I've lost it all and was feeling great about me we started on baby #2 and ended up pregnant within the first month. I didn't…

Yay 11/11 here. Feel free to add me too. So excited to eat right and exercise with this one since I was a lazy bum with my last lol. Not doing that again.

Week 18 - 153.4 I knew I would lose some but I wish more of it was water weight lol. Oh well a little gain is ok.

In your first trimester which lasts until week 14 you don't really need to add any calories to your daily intake. I read a ton of sites to make sure of this because I didn't want to cause a problem either way. I stuck to a 1lb LOSS until week 14 which kept me at 1470. Before I was pregnant I was at a 2lb loss which put me…

We found out at 3 weeks... I had a uti and they did a pee test for that came back slightly positive and then blood work said yeppers. I had morning sickness until week 10. This is my 2nd pregnancy. I'm 5'6. Week 3 - 150 Week 5 - 149.2 Week 7 - 147.6 Week 8 - 147 Week 10 - 148.4 Week 11 - 148.8 Week 12 - 148.4 Week 13 -…
