  • I am trying not to come off to harsh here, but you are putting yourself and your little one at risk. The third trimester is as important as the first because this is when they put on their weight and what they call Brown Fat.

    in calories intake for pregnant woman.. how many? Comment by jxerickson September 2012
  • I would say that my defining moment was after a hospitalization at the end of August. I am a nurse and was injured while working in the ER.
