Yes.......exhausted all the time! There are not enough hours in the day to get everything done and it seems like the work never stops....and I'm all alone with the dog right now! It's just us, why am i so busy, the baby isn't even here yet? I love my husband dearly but he's only home on the weekends and he's no help at…

Once a week.....naked, first thing in the morning, post bathroom, pre breakfast. If i weighed myself more often I'd cry everyday. After years of being on weight watchers I had a really tough time coming to terms with pregnancy weight gain and i'm still struggling with it but learning not to be so hard on myself. It sounds…

just got back from an ultrasound and everything is measuring normal AND the doctor said definately testicles! The u/s tech was not 100% sure last time but this doctor said without a doubt a boy :) Whenever i tell people I'm due in August the all say "oooohhhhh that sucks you're going to be so hot" well I thought no I won't…

Good morning! Helen - yes still swimming twice a week with my swim club. It's really saved me. I haven't really slowed down, I still swim hard for the full hour but I am falling short about 500 meters from a pre pregnancy workout. i think that's pretty good. I cut out butterfly and flip turns though....too out of breath! I…

That's amazing news! Cheers to your baby girl and a huge stress lifted from your shoulders! :happy:

Hey Korey, I just had to check to see if you found your way on here and you did! Welcome! Interesting......my husband picked out the name of our baby, we're expecting a boy and he picked Caleb as well! I think he is spelling it with K though.....

you should join our group on here, fit, faboulous & pregnant. You'll find lots of advice, great ideas and like minded women looking to keep fit, healthy and active during their pregnancy. I set my calorie intake to maintenance until mid 2nd tri, now i have it set at gain 1/2 lb per week.

ok the pail question: I was wondering about this. The lady i bought the diapers from gave me a bag but we didn't talk about that. I live in a very small slab home (one floor) so i'm limited on where i can hide a diaper pail. So we've got a suggestion to use a pail filled with water and vinegar and just soak the diapers and…

I'm pretty sure I was at that amount of weight gain by that point for sure. I was also stressed out about it but for no reason really. I jumped on the scale this morning and am up 26 lbs at 28 weeks. I remember feeling super bloated and fat in the first trimester.......I also got an instant super muffin top the minute…

sugarbaby - I'm getting one this week, my ob-gyn does one in the third trimester but sounds like that's her choice. I didn't argue I want to see the baby again! My girlfriend only went for one at 20 weeks and that was it. The 20 week one seems to be the mandatory one here (canada). Food aversions.....I'm with everyone on…

Hello! I jump over to this board this week which means I have no idea where the time went and I now feel totally unprepared. I'm going to have to start making some "to do" lists from all the great ideas on here. So far I've had a great pregnancy, can't complain. Only this past week did I start to experience heart burn and…

I like to add a large dollop of lime slush to an o'douls. The real version is just usually called an iceburg or a bulldog or somethign like that but it's so refreshing in the summer. I used a few spoonfuls of frozen lime juice from the can and mix that with ice and a bit of water in the magic bullet for the slush then…

You are absolutely not alone in this feeling. I know myself this is a real struggle mentally. I am at 26 weeks and am up 23 lbs.....2 lbs away from hitting 200. I have never in my life been this heavy nor have I gone over 200 and it's SOOOO hard to get over even though I know this is temporary weight and for a good cause!…

Almost everyday I eat cheerios with fresh berries and a big glass of chocolate milk. I love that stuff and it helps the fat prenatal vitamins go down. At around 10 I have a snack, either a berry/yogurt/milk smoothie or a cheese stick and some almonds. Lunch is all over the place but usually it's leftovers HOWEVER the last…

My intention was to wait until I had at least been to my first prenatal exam before telling my family but my husband had it posted on FBook within an hour of me peeing on the stick!!!! I was mortified and so angry, then I felt bad for being angry because he was so excited but he just didn't understand why I would want to…
-
sugarbaby - you look so cute in your picture!!!! Try to stop being so hard on yourself, just do the best you can! I stopped weighing myself everyother day, it was driving me crazy. I also experienced some spotting this week, nothing major, just light pink discharge but it was unexpected. I have an appointment on Friday so…

Hi! We're expecting a boy as well. My original due date was August 31st, then the u/s tech said the 29th then when I went yesterday she said the 25th. Last time I weighed myself I was up 20 lbs but I havent' checked this week, probably closer to 25 by now. this is officially the heaviest I have ever been in my entire life.…
-
I had to go back for another ultrasound yesterday because they wanted to remeasure the placenta. The tech said it was measuring fine but I see my doctor at the end of the week anyways so I suppose I'll find out. BUT the tech said she could say with a lot more confidence this time that it's a boy! It was also a better…

oooohhhh kayyyyy what is happening to me.........I get my bathing suit on tonight for swim and take a look at my pasty white legs only to see a bunch of spider veins on my shin? :huh: Do those go away? Is this happening to anyone else? I'm up 20 lbs but I'm still a few pounds lighter than what I weighed at my heaviest.…

I'm at 22 w 4 days and also up 20 lbs. My girlfriend is three weeks ahead of me and she has looked completely different than i do this whole time. She has a cute round belly but is very tall and also gained a lot of weight in her lower body. I've continued to be barrel shaped until this week as now my belly made it past my…

I'm in Saskatchewan and yes, there's lots of room for everyone! I was pretty shocked to read everyone's posts, I couldn't imagine going back to work after 6 weeks, it seems really unfair. I guess I better not take for granted the time I get to take off. My previous employer topped up my salary for 4 months! This one I get…

I just booked in for a 3d ultrasound! it looks cool anyways and maybe i'll get to see the baby's face :smile: I'm a little late in the game as far as baby making goes. All of my friends have had children already so I don't think there will be a shortage of clothes. They've already unloaded most of their unwanted mat…

Well the ultrasound was great but i didn't get to see much. The baby was curled in a tight ball, feet tucked under bum, hands tucked in by it's head and facing my back. She said she got what she needed to see and everything looked normal and measured about right but I really could only see the spine. She looked for a long…

Hello and welcome candylea! I am going for an ultrasound at 3:30 today and can barely contain myself. Of course I had the requisition form for 8 weeks and two days ago I thought to myself, I better put this somewhere safe so it doesn't get lost during the renos. Well I lost it and was scrambling to find it in my chaotic…

I've seen the business of being born in its entirety on Netflix. I watched it a few years ago and should watch it again but its a good discussion piece that's for sure. Much like each baby, each woman's birth experience is completely different so you do have to keep that in mind when you watch it and make your own…
-
That's exciting! Congrats on the boy! I have to wait until the 20th to get in for my ultrasound and we're going to find out what it is if we can. My husband thinks it's a girl and I think it's a boy. I'm on a waiting list for a midwife here. I didn't realize that there are so few of them in Saskatchewan and I should've…

I should've asked this eons ago but what is DH and TTC stand for? I'm assuming LO is little one...and MIL is mother in law......I'm totally clueless on the abbreviations.
-
Helen - I feel like that too sometimes. I think it's normal. My hips usually ache a bit at the end of the day as well. Bru- glad to hear you and baby are ok, wishing you a speedy recovery!

YAY! I've been waiting for this post. :smile: BusyPK gave me some great advice to get going. I have decided to give them a try. I am hoping to use them 100% of the time when we're at home and then disposables if I have to when we are out and about or visiting family. I did find a woman on our local kijiji website who was…

@ Lilylove86 This post really hit home for me, you might as well have been telling my story! Sounds like we're in the same boat with regards to starting weight, build, due date, weight gain...... We recently went to Vegas as my husband was in a wedding. I opened up my facebook account to see both of us tagged in the photos…
