The classes offered at my hospital are $150 for birthing classes, and like $50 for breastfeeding classes. Which is out of my budget right now :(

I'm 27 weeks, and I'm up 22 pounds. I gained 10 pounds alone in my first trimester, I had no morning sickness and just became instantly MORE hungry especially for carbs primarily. I still workout 5-6 days a week, but my eating habits have cause my weight gain to be high and steady.

My next appointment is on the 14th, next Thursday, and it's the big glucose test finally. I honestly don't think it's going to be as bad as everyone says, I'll just throw that mixture on ice and gulp it down before my tastebuds have a chance to register it lol but we'll see. I'll ask my doc then if she's going to do one…

As far as aversions, I'm still having a hard time getting in my veggies.... I just,,, don't want them lol But I've been throwing them in stirfrys and roasting them in the oven (zucchini fries anyone?) to make them more appealing. This is my last week in the 2nd trimester forum :( but :) lol I start my 27th week on Friday.…

Some hospitals even rent out breast pumps, I'm looking into all my options as well, because I'll be returning to work fulltime after the baby and I still want to breastfeed/pump

An oops! I was on the NuvaRing and had JUST gotten back together with my ex fiancee, and a month into our reconciling BAM pregnant lol But I'm so excited for baby girl to get here and I wouldn't have it any other way :)

I am the same exact way. If I look at a bag of veggies or salad I get nauseous and I only want carbs and sweets in general. I've been trying to incorporate vegetables in my day anyway, bc I know that the baby and I need them. So for instance I'll make spaghetti for dinner, but instead of noodles, I'll place my spaghetti…

I felt my baby kick around 20 weeks or so, now at 25 weeks she’s in full force and SOOOO active all day

Jillsie11- I'm actually wearing Old Navy maternity black pants right now :) They are comfy, but they look good, and they are adjustable to fit through my trimesters.

This is me, everyday. I have definitely started to hate getting dressed everyday, and seeing my girlfriends look all tiny in cute outfits drives me nuts. Not to mention my hair took a turn for the WORST when I got pregnant. I didn't get "gorgeous pregnancy hair", but hair has stopped growing and the ends literally feel…

kerrbear79- oh my gosh that video is the cutest thing EVER!! If I ever have a 2nd child I think I'll reveal my gender like that too, that is so awesome. Congrats!

Good to see new faces and friends :) I'll be 24 weeks this friday, and I think I'm getting a bigger belly because I FINALLY had a stranger ask me yesterday is I was pregnant (would have been embarassing if I wasn't pregnant lol). Last time I checked I was up 18 pounds, and I feel bigger but I'm not going to weigh myself…

I don’t know about Gluten Free lol but I’m making a teriyaki beef stiryfry with: Stirfry beef strips Kikkoman Teriyaki sauce Bell Peppers (chopped) Onion (chopped) All sautéed in a big pan and then placing my portion over salad, and the boyfriend’s portion over pasta.

Hey there everyone! jls- I feel your pain with the in-laws. Although my boyfriend and I are not married, his family is very involved and calls me often now that I'm pregnant, and they are a very strong italian catholic family so I get ALOT of unwanted advice on the pregnancy and how I should raise her once she's here, and…

Well I woke up at 5am this morning with some spotting, which of course freaked me out. The boyfriend and I didn't engage in any intimacy last night so it's not that. I called my doctor this morning and of course she just said "Call me if it gets worse" and I wanted to scream "No, see me now, I will pay for the peace of…

Anapai- I know exactly how you feel with worrying. This is my first, and everyone’s comments of how small I am is really starting to freak me out. Girls that are as far long as I am (22 weeks) have a wayyy bigger, more pronounced bump than I do. I still just look a little bloated. So I’m worried that my baby isn’t growing…

helenmelon29- I've been thinking about ordering a Prenatal Pilates video because I've been hearing so much about them, do you suggest a certain one that you might like? I haven't done pilates in forever but I used to love taking it at the gym. Does anyone else feel like their belly growth is "behind schedule"? I'm a FTM,…

Hey everyone! Just checking in. My eating habits have not gotten any better :( I really need to get it under control and stop using pregnancy as an excuse to eat the extra cookies at night before bedtime ughh. I feel like all of my pregnant friends have barely gained a pound and here I am 21 weeks and up about 17- 18…

[/quote] Thanks! Hmmm that is an interesting way that i've never heard with the adding 150 for 2nd then the other 150 for 3rd. See there are so many ways i've heard it's hard to know which way is the right way for me. I don't go back to dr. until 5/9 but I'll ask him for sure. BTW this is my 2nd, so that is why we are…

kerrbear79- I've been aiming for maintanance calories (and eating back exercise calories), but on the weekends I don't log/count so that's when I usually go overboard. I need to get in the habit of counting on the weekends and eating better because my weight has crept up on me big time! But I was told by my doctor to do…

jcgutierrez- I can't say my cravings or hunger have gone down (I wish they would lol), but I have felt my baby move a few times, mostly in the late afternoon or night when I'm laying down is when she likes to be active. But it's not consistent, some days I don't feel her move at all, then a couple days later I'll feel…

Weight lifting & spin class. I always walk out feeling like superwoman!~ :)

Hello everyone! Well my eating habits have been horrible, as usual. I'm really trying to get back to focusing on healthy/whole foods, because all I have been eating is junk and my body definately feels it :( I need to find my willpower again. I've been pretty active, but I find myself being lazier than I used to be. My…

Hey everyone! Well the Anatomy Scan went great, the baby looks very healthy and she was a Squirmer. Thats right, ITS A GIRL :) I knew it, I kept having dreams that it was a girl, and it was correct! So I'm 18weeks 3 days, and up about 15 pounds :( lord help me

Oh my gosh! You HAVE had a trying week! I hope everything is healing ok. I can't imagine the pain you must have had.

I love that blog!! She cracks me up! I find out my gender tomorrow morningggg!!! I'm so anxious I can barely contain myself lol

*Knock Knock* "Who's there" "Daisy" "Daisy Who??" . . . . . . . . . . . . . "Daisy me rollinnnn, they hatinnnnnn, tryin to catch me ridin dirtyyyyy"

Hey ladies! I went for my 16 week appointment today. The baby’s heartbeat was strong and healthy :) The doctor mentioned that I’ve gained 11 pounds so far, and that I should try to slow down my weight gain… which of course I expected because I know my eating has been out of control lately, but it still made me feel bad lol…

I feel your pain, and I'm only 15 weeks! (as of tomorrow). I try to force myself to have sex with my boyfriend atleast once a week, if at all, because I'm not obviously pregnant looking yet, just bloated all over, and my weight gain has been nonstop so none of my clothes fit. So I'm just miserable and insecure (not to…

Halethorpe as well :)
