I just cooked it today for the first time and I love the stuff. I sauteed some grated carrots, broccoli, onions and celery in some extra virgin olive oil to go along with it. Even my 5 year old laughter ate it.

I'm a G cup and I wear a Glamorise sports bra and my girls don't budge.

you ADD the 300 calories because the baby is now using calories as well.

Congratulations!!!!

I had my first BPP (Bio Physical Profile) test this morning. It was great seeing her on the ultrasound again and she's looking adorable. Hair floating around and her estimated weight is between 6 and 7 lbs. Then I went to the maternity floor and was hooked up to the NST monitor and all is well in that department as well. I…

Here's my appointment update: First of all, my scheduled appt was for 3 PM and I was still sitting there (with my 5 y/o daughter because hubby had to work) at 5:30 PM!! Special thanks to the 2 women who decided to give birth yesterday, forcing my OB to run behind on his appointments. That can't be helped but it's an EVERY…

Barring any complications, you should be able to do what you've done before getting pregnant. There may be some restrictions on not allowing your hear rate to get above a certain level. It all depends how fit you are BEFORE getting pregnant. When the time comes, it's best to just discuss it with your OB and get a…

Congrats!! There is a group for the pregnant members that gets buried fairly quickly since the board moves so fast. Here's the link:http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/332516-pregnancy-september-2011 Feel free to pop in and introduce yourself. :)

Ohhhh yeah a menthol allergy would be tricky to work around during cold and flu season for sure. Going out to look for Halls Breezers later on since menthol isn't recommended in pregnancy anyway and they have to be sugar-free. Seems to be my only option. I don't take meds for anything, not even a Tylenol .. just my…

Carbs are tricky. I have GD and have to pee on Ketone strips every morning to make sure I'm not spilling any. I was cutting out carbs because they raised my sugar and started spilling moderate to large ketones so the nurse and nutritionist told me to add more carbs into my diet and they would adjust my insulin accordingly.…

It's so funny how the PCOS umbrella is so broad. I've known "thin cysters" and they struggle with the same thing we do as over weight cysters. I was officially diagnosed in 2004 (after being married since 1998 and not getting pregnant). Ironically I found an article in a magazine and ripped it out and took it to a doctor…

Happy Weekend!! The head cold is still kicking my butt but it is gradually getting better. At least my eyes stopped watering. I was pitiful all week. Hubby was making fun of me and I got ticked off stating that I couldn't take meds to help with anything so I was miserable! We didn't even have any Vicks vapo refills in the…

UGH ... my daughter caught a head cold her first few days into the school year. She's over it now because she gave it to me .. wahhh!!! It started with a sore throat and has now progressed into a full blown head cold .. complete with a watering eye. I look marvelous, lol .. I hope it passes very soon because I am…

Sounds like you have a good plan. I gained a bit more in the beginning as well because the only thing that tasted and sounded good were BAD foods, lol. I've since lost it though thanks to having GD, being on Insulin and being held very accountable to what I put in my mouth. I used to live in Edmonton .. close to the WEM. I…

No it isn't advised to lose weight while pregnant. If you are concerned, ask to be followed by a nutritionist. Just continue to eat healthy and remember that just because you are pregnant it doesn't give you the excuse to "eat for two". I lost 10 lbs this pregnancy bust that's because I have gestational diabetes and had to…

Welcome to MFP. Last year I had great luck using this site, reading labels, following portion control and being physically active without working out and lost close to 40 lbs. I fell off the wagon around Christmas and then got pregnant in January. I will be getting back on that wagon again in October.

I'll be happy delivering anytime after Sept 24th because then the baby will be a Libra. I'm a Libra :) ... DH thinks she is going to come at the end of September .. on his mothers b-day. I'll cross my legs if that's the case because I want her to have her own birthday and not one that falls on the same day as any family…

I make small babies (according to my OB) so I don't look like I'm 36 weeks nor am I measuring that big. People don't believe me when I tell them how far along I am. Suits me just fine though because I don't feel like Shamu and I am enjoying being active.

Welcome to all the newly pregnant ladies. Congratulations!!! ____ I sent my 5 year old off on the bus today for the first day of school EVER! I held back the tears and was proud of myself. I will admit my eyes misted over though. After that I had a diabetic clinic appointment and then after that I had an OB appointment so…

Those little kicks are just precious. Enjoy them :)

Congratulations!! She's beautiful!!

Nobody here (police or fire departments) know anything about car seats. We inquired in 2006 when we were installing our daughters seat. At the time, my mother used to babysit for a RCMP officer and the only reason he knew what to do is because he already had a kid, LOL. We got a travel system today as well as the baby…

Congrats!!! I'll be full term in a couple of weeks, then it's anyone's guess when baby will arrive, LOL It will keep hubby on his toes if nothing else :)

I had to argue with my husband about sugar in milk. He doesn't read nutrition labels at all and didn't believe me. I have gestational diabetes and can't drink much milk because of all the sugar in it.

I am on the fence about buying a travel system or just an infant seat. We already have a 5 year old stroller that's seen better days after being damaged in our move from West to East. The handle got cracked and broken while being shipped on the bus so it makes pushing a but tricky. The infant seat alone is about $100 and…

Yay it's SEPTEMBER!!! One more month to go .. I am so excited!!! Nothing going on here. I organized the baby's room a bit and hug new pink curtains in there this morning. I'm using an old dresser for a changing table. I just have to secure the contoured changing pad to the top. No idea if this picture is going to work but…

Oh I remember weaning my daughter from her soother. It went better than expected. We just cut down the availability little by little, bedtime and naps only. Then she got in a habit of chewing the tips off so it was safer that we just took it away completely. We didn't plan on her being a soother baby but she was in the…

Appointment update - Just as I suspected, they (the nurse and nutritionist) told me I have to increase my carbs in order to lower the ketone spillage. So I bought a burger at Wendy's on the way home and it was DELICIOUS. The nurse said it was easier and safer to compensate the high glucose numbers with the insulin than to…

I am glad I have an appointment with the diabetic clinic this morning. Yesterday I was spilling moderate ketones and this morning it was large. My research claims it can potentially be life threatening for a person with GD and can cause problems with the baby. I'm glad I am catching it early. I know all it means is my body…

My shower was nice. About 25 people showed up. I could have done without the kids being there though because when it came time to open gifts there was one child in particular just helping herself to opening them and the guardian wasn't doing a darn thing to reign her in. Not many pictures were taken as a result because I…
