You should definitely either be losing weight OR trying to conceive, not both at the same time. There's a good group on here called "Fit for Future Pregnancy" that you should check out :) I started taking prenatals and lost about ten pounds eating right and exercising an hour a day. Then I switched to maintenance mode and…

I didn't really feel pregnant until Week 7 or so although I noticed the tenderness and the uterine stretching feeling so figured the test was right (plus that pink line was REALLY pink). Is there a way to go into your doctor's for a verification test? My GP said she'd give me a preganacy test whenever I wanted one if the…

Weight isn't a protected class, especially in no-fault states you can be fired/not hired for any reason that doesn't include being in a protected class. Doesn't matter if it's discrimination, employers discriminate all the TIME for a whole host of reasons, doesn't make it illegal.

So are you sure that he was looking into weight loss for you because he wants you to look like a model or that he wanted you to be healthy? Those are two very different things. I'm hoping it is the latter...

That's so exciting it's coming up so soon! Do you have everything ready to go?

Hi Virginia! I love gardening too, we're getting ready to put in raised beds this weekend :) What part of Missouri are you in? I spent a couple of LOVELY months in Ft. Leonard Wood

Be calm and interested. Speak clearly and confidently. Sit straight, make eye contact, use "active listening" to acknowledge and respond to what the interviewer is saying. They want a person who not only can do the job, but who is a pleasure to work with. Make sure you have answers to the "usual" questions, why are you…

Saw the heartbeat and even a little arm move around! Doctor said "normal" and 10 weeks 5 days! Right on schedule :love:

Doctor had an emergency C-section to attend to so they postponed until this afternoon...SO IMPATIENT ;)

I have my first ultrasound tomorrow! VERY excited, I know the risks drop a lot once we see a healthy heartbeat and development. We've been waiting to tell everyone until we see the lil' munchkin on camera so hopefully everything goes wonderfully and we can tell the family on Easter!

Hi Myriane! I have seen a couple of pregnancy sites that give advice about losing weight (in a healthy way without restricting nutrients for the lil' one). www.babycenter.com and thebump.com are two I can think of off the top of my head. Welcome!

I stopped in December and had one cycle. My doctor had told me that it would take 6 months to a year to get pregnant because of the length of time I'd been on birth control...I sure showed her :blushing:

Cut into cubes, drizzled with basalmic, and eaten with a spoon right out of its handy little bowl

I solve this by grazing Breakfast at 6am - Fiber cereal with raisins Breakfast at 8am - Banana and yogurt Snacks - pumpkin seeds, FiberOne bar, etc. LUNCH etc.

I posted an eggplant chilli recipe on here somewhere, you may be able to do a Search of the topics to find it.

Just found out that my mother-in-law last night said "it's a good thing she hasn't done anything to get on my bad side" ... not sure if I should be worried, and here I thought we were doing so well :ohwell:

I plan on going completely gender nuetral on as many things as I can in case we have another baby after this one. My brother and sister in law had everything girl-oriented for their first and then ended up having twin boys! Had to go buy ALL new stuff. Going to learn from them :) Everything that I can get (safely and…

Rottie's are my favorite breed :) (don't tell Sophie or Bixby, they'd get jealous) If I ever move out of my current house with it's breed restrictions then I'll get another one!

I lol'd :bigsmile:

5'9" wear a 6 or an 8 in Long

Made it to ten weeks before the lil' kiddo decided I shouldn't go to work in the morning. I guess that's a pretty good run of time, hopefully this doesn't happen too often or it's going to be a little difficult keeping the pregnancy from my boss...

My GP wasn't an OB either, I ended up going to a group of gyno/OBs, they set it up so you see one of each of them (just in case you don't like one of em). Maybe you could find a practice group like that?

Who are you (leader of your crew, heart throb, coolest nerd EVARRR,)? Pretty Nerd What 4 songs are playing in heavy rotation? Believe - Cher, Angel of Mine - Monica, Baby One More Time - Brittany Spears, Genie in a Bottle - Christina Aguilera Where do you plan to be in 10 years? An attorney (juuuuuust made it within 10…

I have a week and a day until my first ultrasound when they'll age the tyke, I think I'm due around the 26th but a Halloween baby would be pretty fun :)

I love my MIL. Her oldest son got married first and she decided to hate his wife (who is a wonderful person) and I guess that meant I was in the free and clear :) We get along although I don't see her very often, we're in DC and she's in Boston.

Spinach salad with ton o' veggies and grilled chicken breast with guacamole

Which brands do people use? I've looked at some of the patterns online but I think it would be easier and almost as cost effective to just purchase used covers (clean of course) and try to save as much $$ as possible.

I am using the "What to Expect When You're Expecting" iPhone app. It's free and works great! They do day by day information and status on the lil' bit and unlike some of the other free apps, it is free through the entire term of the pregnancy (there are a couple that end after 3 months).

Hi Jessica! I'm in the DC Metro area AND my husband's name is Mark too! Welcome :)

Only if it's prehensile, not one of those icky pig ones from Hundred Years of Solitude...webbed feet would be pretty neat too...
