I was told that it's because the baby cannot regulate their body temperature, so you have to make sure your core temperature doesn't go above 101 degrees for more than 10 min, or it could harm the baby. I suppose you could just check the temperature every so often, and assume that you would know it if you were overheating.…

Thanks! I have taken a multivitamin for quite a while now, and switched to prenatal vitamins at the advice of my doctor several months ago (when we decided we would be trying for a baby) I have been tracking my cycles (they were irregular for a couple months from being on birth control for so long, the doctor said that was…

does he not want to get married ever or just not right now? if its a big problem for you, then only you can make the decision of what to do, but make sure you talk it out with him and get it all out first, why he doesn't want to get married or have more kids, why you do, etc. I would not have stayed with my husband if he…

A family history of obesity - my mom had gastric bypass 8 years ago and did great for a while, but is now struggling with her weight again... watching her and my brother trying different diets and fads throughout the years, my grandma died at 65 with lots of problems due to her weight (she also had the lap band surgery) I…

Just keep explaining to her that you are doing it to be healthy. I don't think that letting your child see you keeping track of your weight and overall health could be setting a negative example, seems to me like you would be setting a positive example for her. Everyone needs to think about healthy eating and a healthy…

my mom says i was born this way i told her that i think my filter is broken cuz it seems that more and more "inside thoughts" are coming out she told me i never had a filter... :\

some people don't participate due to religion (Jehovah's Witnesses for example) and some people may not have extra money to buy candy, that extra $10-$20 is a lot to some. so, it is not rude to skip out on passing candy, it IS rude for people to knock on doors that have the lights out, as it is a well known rule that you…

coffeemate original powder and splenda but i rarely drink coffee and i just bought some vanilla caramel international delight today

best costume ever!

you only knock if the porch light is on, mine is!

Dear You, You are beautiful. You realize your downfalls. You want to make the effort to change. Only you can change you. You don't need people in your life who bring you down. Dry your tears. Let your inner self shine through. You ARE still you, let it show. You know what you need to do. You will accomplish your goals. Do…

"7 am in the morning" oh, i thought u meant the 7 am that happens at night :tongue: sorry, that's one of my pet peeves

it just means your thighs don't touch when you stand with your feet together. obviously, when you are heavier, your thighs are going to touch each other, and some people, no matter how thin they are, may still have touching thighs because that's just the way they are built. it is not weird or unnatural and does not make…

yes

focus on being healthy, maybe you can plan your meals out in advance that way you know what you are going to be eating that day and you don't have to stress out about it all day long. is it possible for you to plan out your meals, say a week ahead of time and keep healthy snacks around so that if you don't follow your plan…

if it is something that you have been doing for the last 2 years consistantly, then i would just calculate that into your activity level

sausage, milk ( don't get me wrong, i eat foods that have milk in it, but to just drink a glass of milk, even chocolate, or have a bowl of cereal with milk, ew) seafood, eggs

I suggest eating when you get hungry

you should continue to eat healthy and you can keep doing the exercises that your body is used to, but u need to up your calorie intake to make sure the baby is getting enough. talk to your doctor about how many calories you should be eating with the pregnancy and set your goals to that

all of those things count as water, but they also come with calories, nothing is as good as pure H2O

for me it was just something that i knew. and i couldnt wait to hear from him, couldnt wait to talk to him, stayed up all night texting or talking on the phone, every minute together was fun and a rush of excitement

don't expect anything to change after you get married, if u cant deal with it, and you cant come up with a compromise with him, then i would suggest not getting married. i agree with the person who said to have family only weekends (maybe every other weekend) and then the opposite weekends he could spend one day with you…

your mindset is perfect, if you deprive yourself of anything, it is going to be hard to succeed, when i want something extra, i do a little extra exercise for it.

i think its great when someone wants to get in shape, big or small. i was nervous going to the gym the first time too, and if anyone is mean it's because they are uncomfortable with themselves and immature

wow, people are really cruel. dont let it get you down. sounds like ur new neighbors are a bunch of *kitten*

i would suggest one cheat meal, not a whole day, and some extra exercise to make up for it.
