@sally is right...though I think most are "okay" at 6 months. We actually got a Schwinn jogging stroller from Craigslist. Hubby took over on that one because I'm not thrilled buying that way, but he got us one for about $75. Took it to a local bike shop and they adjusted it and tuned it up well. We've both used it on the…

I found that I had MS if I waited too long to eat. I had to keep some items by my bedside just to keep myself from getting to that point. Nausea happened when I'd be driving, so I'd try to keep gum near me to curb it. Hope you ladies all feel better! I'm now at 35 weeks and the time goes by fast!!

I had the same thing throughout 1st trimester and at end of 2nd. I would take one tylenol and about 1/3 soda and that seemed to do the trick. I rarely ever drink soda, either. Dr said it was hormones.

So many times, we sacrifice ourselves to make others happy or to not offend anyone. If you feel that this could be a frequent occurance, invest in a non-see through drink container and pour it into it. Then, only you can make the call on how much you want to consume without "showing appreciation". Or you can say, I've…

Stand your ground. You've got to think about what's best for you and your baby to be. I know it sounds cliche, but this comes from experience. It's not just an opinion. You are so very right to be thinking about your insurance benefits while you're pregnant etc. and your future finances. If he thinks that a move is…

I breastfed my daughter until she was about 27 months. By that time, it was more of a nuturing night time/early morning supplement to her daily diet. If I were somewhere late at night (which most likely NEVER was), I'd excuse myself to my car and we'd get comfortable for us to have our time together. BUT with that said,…

FYI, the skin is very delicate around the ankles and behind the knees. If you cut yourself, wet toilet paper and put it on the cut. (that's in case you haven't already experienced this). Do it.

There's a group on here that you should join: Fit Fabulous and Pregnant. I started a "Fit Fabulous and Pregnant, Due in September 2013" group and I'm sure as more people open up about their new status of being pregnant, many more will join with a due date close to yours. There are some great resources to read up on and…

I know how you're feeling, but I try to think of it this way...Look at all the friends and support you'll have postpartum! All of us with newborns can share in the secrets of getting that extra time in to get back into the swing of things. I feel a bit guilty because I've fallen off the wagon with keeping up with my…

Ruby, I got this from Target for $20. It works as a white noise/night light. Still use it for DD at 2 1/2 years old. Need to get another for DS on the way!!…

I nursed my DD for two years wearing underwire. I also bought various bras from Lane Bryant which helped when they were growing and when they were shrinking. You may think you won't wear them again, but when you're losing the weight again you will!!!

I don't know how you feel about sports bras, but they worked really well for me the first time around. They tend to "expand" with the growth and will be used again when they shrink down again. I got the Target brand C9 ones, and they are so comfortable. On top of that, after the pregnancy, I used one of them, cut small…

So glad I found this thread. Everything is irritating me. I can't sleep well at night. AT ALL. My bed is too soft now. My couch is too narrow. My guest bed is angled and I'm tired! I feel that everyone is being way too clingy right now. My daughter prefers me over her dad. My dog won't sleep anywhere but attached to my leg…

I became pregnant after my miscarriage without having a period. I realized that I didn't have my period and thought it had to do with the miscarriage so my Dr. sent me in for bloodwork. I came back postively pregnant! There's always sunshine after the rain.

One thing, that I just now got for my 2 year old is a pee pee pad for the carseat. I don't know why we didn't get one earlier- but on the rare occasions that they have a blowout- this is a definite catch all, and can be used through the potty training stages. Helps you from having to constantly wash the carseat fabric if…

Hello, Ladies! I created a group and invited all users that have posted so far in the FF&P Group Discussion Board. Please message me if you're interested in being a moderator, as this 2nd time pregnant mama could use some help! It's all about delegating, right???…

Hey! No problem. Good luck on Tuesday!

Good Morning, Everyone! I am so excited to find this discussion board. What are your thoughts on starting a group? I have gone through the posts and put together our due dates. Let's continue updating! I have some listed as TBD because they gave a "mid month" date or didn't post a date (that I saw). Congrats ladies!! I am…

Do yourself a favor and don't date someone for who they could be. Be with them for who they are now. If he's not living a lifestyle that is equivalent to yours, then do not go there. I wouldn't even entertain the "friend" thing. That never works out unless you really are just friends. But if you've entertained a…

@Lydia_Abby: Batwoman

This is hilarious. Hands down- the funniest read I've had in awhile. We have an office snitch too, but he's male and he's unbelievably convincing.

Thank you!! Very much!! So excited to try it out. I think I'll do a test today during lunch.

Talk with your doctor. For me, I was told to consume about 200-300 more calories a day, but I ditched the advice and wound up getting out of control. 1. Talk with your doctor 2. Take your prental vitamin, and don't just stop if you forget one day. 3. Make sure your folic acid intake is adequate! 4. Talk with your doctor 5.…

Funny, the majority of the responses here are based on opinions and not the facts. Doesn't surprise me that the attitude towards organic could also relate to one's outlook on fitness and an overall healthy lifetyle. Don't just choose what's easy. For heaven's sake, we're all here on this website to better ourselves, don't…

The originator of this topic and the critics against b'feeding must not have been breastfed, otherwise the topic would remain holy. Keep those comments and questions to Facebook. This is a website where people unite to talk about making wise, healthy choices, to better themselves in the long run. For a breastfeeding…

Running outside. Fresh air, no electronic distractions, visual landmarks and the feeling of accomplishing an exercise few learn to fully utilize.

Set a small goal and work towards it. Once that's achieved, set another goal and work towards it. See where I'm going? Take steps towards achieving what you want. Those small successes can and will grow into a big one, and that is something that you can be proud of and find confidence in. Love yourself first. Cause right…

Are you new to running? Take it slow, go for a long walk and pay attention to your stride. Keep working with the store to get good shoes for yourself. My advice? Stop wearing flip flops. Get a good pair of cross trainers and visit a podiatrist before you hurt yourself. Running is an excellent way to be in shape, but if…

We planned for three weeks and decided to go to Vegas. We spent $750 in total for the hotel and flight; most likely $1400 total with the chapel, fees, entertainment, visiting Valley of Fire and food. I have no regrets for making the day exactly how we wanted it to be. It was just us, no family or friends were able to join…
