Rayna definitely look into short term. For me (in the US) that would mean that we have to be out 6 consecutive days in order for short term to kick in...but then that would have to roll over into maternity leave for you and I'm not sure how that works- What I can tell you is that for us here (again in the US & my company…

I agree, that's a hard one...I found a few heavy night sleeps accompained by horrible dreams in my second trimester. Now I'm into my 3rd trimester and I'm back to not sleeping a full night. So I try to sleep when I can. Can nap here, snooze there, a few hours here and a few hours there....just make the most of it. I…

Kristy- THAT is absoultely hilarious!! :laugh: Our poor guys, they put us with so much when we're pregnant...Nice to know they can find the silver lining, LOL!! I can pretty much sleep through anything right now...I'm at the stage where if I sit on the sofa you can pretty much rest assured that I'll be out in a few- the…

I would say if you haven't been to the doctor then start there first...as they are going to be your first resource. After you talk to your doctor they can give you a pretty good idea of what you can and can't do. I did JM DVD's before I got pregnant and then had to stop due to my doctors request (I'm a high risk prego). So…

Dawg Gone It!! I had everything typed out and then said "locked out" LOL.... Okay so it's official. I've hit my 3rd trimester wall. I went home, made some dinner, did 1 load of laundry, a bit of ironing and then BOOM I was out like a light...Hubby woke me up and I think I lasted maybe for another hour. Baby has been up…

Morning ladies!! Didn't do diddly squat yesterday. Hubby picked me up some Chick Fil A, I took a long hot bath and was in bed before 930!! I'm getting much more tired these days...I think that "burst of energy" that I had in my second trimester is slowly beginning to dwindle... Hoping to leave work early so I can get in…

Morning! I'm going to refer you to page 1 of this thread. Lots of good posts on calories/eating & exercise. As far as bloating, just keep up with water intake...try eating every 2 hours (small snacks)...that helped me tremendously.
-
Hello & welcome...If you go to the first page of this thread you'll find some great info on calories/eating/ect....as for working out I think we all pretty much say stay as active as you can but definitely listen to your body. Everyone's body reacts differently

HAHA!! Well don't feel alone cuz misery loves company and I'm misreably sleepy!! holy cow I can't even keep my eyes open! I know people said that you start to wind down into your 3rd tri mester but I had no idea..... Onward we go...until I go home and sit on the couch and pass out....AGAIN :laugh:
-
Rayna- with year end fast approaching and our due dates all being around the corner I think every employer is starting to panic just a bit....but then again so are we....so much to do in so little time!! just remember to breathe occasionally (good for the baby :wink: ) and if that doesn't work I ususally take a little…
-
ok, so I know there are several of us that are at the 29+ mark in our pregnancy....Is anyone else hitting that afternoon wall?? I'm starting to feel just like I did my first trimester- all I want to do is sleep!! Fact of the matter is, that I haven't been eating to healthy the last four days so that could be it as well,…

OMG, yes the pews!! I got stuck twice, LOL!! Took my hubby & my sister to help me and then told me to just stay seated and not to move anymore! :laugh:

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HHUUUGGGGGGSSSSSSSS))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) You are doing FANTASTIC being on bed rest. Restless and all...don't even give yourself a hard time about it. We all wish that we could continue our excersice routines as if nothing, but the truth is that we have much more precious cargo…

Yeap Yeap!! Mmmmmmeeeeeeee!!!!!!!! Except my time is right at about 3am ish....EVERY night....and then I'm awake till 530 and then doze for 30 minutes. Run around like a chicken with her head cut off and out the door I go... it's gotten quite old. Not sure how to change it....I've even stopped drinking liquids before bed,…
-
Luna- I think we have definitely learned what hardship is. Needs vs Wants and Luxury vs Neccessity. But at the end of the day, it's all about how bad do you really want it and what are you REALLY willing to give up. We give up an entire lifestyle!! In the process, we become stronger as a couple, stronger with our families…
-
Morning ladies!! I have to tell you guys about our EARLY CHRISTMAS because I'm about to bust!!! Since hubby was unemployed about 6 months we decided early in the year that Christmas was just not going to happen for us. Not with the surprise we both recieved of me being pregnant. So, Hubby and I decided that same day, that…

ROOTTFFLLMMAAOOO!! I agree, definitely a good morning laugh!! ASF: quite night on the home front. Finding this baby keeps moving so I skipped the pilates and did some Yoga. Didn't do much else. Just felt "needy" last night. Got to bed early. I have definitely entered the ** DREAM ** stage. Seems that I'm dreaming every…

Kistin- I say you skip the work out and got home and straight to bed!! If you body is trying to fight off somethign the best thing you can do is rest and let your body do the healing. Tomoorow will be another day, and hopefully you feel better!

AHA! How I :heart: you ladies! You guys have become my very bestest online best buddies!! LOL!! As for all the grooming comments- thank you! Make a girl feel right at home, LOL!! I've tried the blind grooming and that didn't work so well (at least not for me) and I'm just not brave enough to get it waxed. Tried the mirror…

Morning- Been up since about 3ish....This baby was HUNGRY!! thank goodness for cottage cheese & pineapple. Couldn't keep it down my 1st trimester and now I can't seem to get enough of it...:laugh: I have a TMI question: I am finding it extremly difficult to do things that I'm use to doing: shaving my legs, painting my…
