Bmfrazie- I never got morning sickness per say....but I was naseaus ALL day....so I made sure that I had snacks/small meals to cover me approx every two hours. The longer I went without something in my stomach, the sicker I would get.... I also had kept almond packs/raisins in my purse for those cases when I felt it come…

SV- I'm a newbie at being preggo, so I didn't actually start feeling the baby till week 20 and boy can I feel him squirming, kicking, bouncing around now!! No stopping it!! As for 3D monogram- keep in mind that in order to get that done they baby must cooperate. Hubby & I were all prepared to get it done. They use the…

SV- I just started drinking coffee again maybe 2-3 weeks ago? Hubby switched to Community Mild blend which is half decaf, half regular. I allow myself to 1/2 a cup every morning, but even then I don't finish it....but it sure does taste good!!!

Andrea, I was told the same thing on my 1st apt...My husband very quickly took over everything and let me do nothing! I was use to cardio 5 x a week and strength training 3 x a week. So I figured as long as I kept walking that all would be well- to my disbelief on my 2nd apt my doctor told me that I was lucky that he…

Okay, I can't wait to tell you guys!! After being in the sonogram room for almost an hour- as this baby is currently breech and with this back to my stomach so the nurse had to get creative to try to get the baby to turn.

I have RLS even when not pregnant (started with my first pregnancy and never went away... and it's worse now, during the second). The only thing that helps me, personally, was decreasing my caffeine (really easy now), increasing my potassium (decaf coffee has quite a bit, btw) and stretching. BUT... RLS is tricky,…
