Not feeling so hot today, even though on hoidays. Have spent the whole day laying in bed. Feeling full all the time! It's quite annoying.

Hi Ladies Just popping in to say hello- live from Maui! We have been here for a week, and I am sooo glad to be here as there is a huuuuge blizzard happening at home at the moment! Have been feeling well, just no time to log in because we have been on the beach, etc. Have not eaten too well (ie ice cream everyday!) but…

Sweet! It's nice that you were able to save up a little bit of money. I have probably said it before, but in Canada maternity benefits are across the board for the whole country. As long as you have 1 year into your job, they must allow you 1 year of maternity leave and job security. But your employer does not pay you, it…

Happy newyear everyone! I am off to Hawaii tomorrow for 2 weeks! This will proably be out last real holiday until our children are grown, so I am definately going to make sure I enjoy it!!! We just got married in July. We went on a short Honeymoon down to Sandpoint, Idaho right after the wedding to stay in the family…

Hello Andella and welcome!!! Don't be afriad to try and lose weight while ttc. It might just help more than you think :-) Once you have a confirmed pregnancy then I wouldnèt limit calories, but until then it would be no harm.

I know we have discussed this before in this forum, but I can't believe how much the maternity benefits SUCK in the USA!!! I have no idea what they do in other countires though... maybe it is better than others but it is still awful....What about parents who are breast feeding? 6 weeks? Really?? I hope you house gets…

Just wanted to pop in and say merry christmas everyone!

I am sick right now too! It sucks. I have not taken anything yet and I can detinately feel the difference. Usually I take cold fx (I think thats just a canadian med) and eccinacea, neither of which are safe in pregnancy... so I am just going to suffer through it. This is my 3rd day off work, I really need to go back…

Urghh that sucks! It is making me really nervous because you are about a week ahead of me and having such a hard time with morning sickness. We leave for Hawaii in 2 weeks and the last thing I want is our trip to be ruined by me puking all the time! I sure hope I don't get it!

Congratulations on your 2nd pregnancy! How far along are you? I know how you feel about it coming quickly- I was trying to lose weight as well, and we weren't going to really start trying until after our vacation in January... but it came sooner than expected! In terms of calories, my dr told me that if you are overweight…

So, just wondering what kind of names people have picked out? It may be too early for my husband and I to be picking names, but we already did regardless. For a boy we have decided on Easton. For a girl, we are undecided. I like names that are a little differnet, while my husband leans towards the traditional. I have my…

Wow... what an AWFUL day. I am sooo sorry to hear about what went on. Where is his family from? I am sure once the baby is born and they see their beautiful grandchild they will come around, regardless of what his name is. What name did you choose? Again, I am so sorry. I can only imagine how hard that would be.

You are a machine! Good job

Wow you are al allstar!!!! 6 miles!!?? How long does that take you? Let us know how the ultrasound goes!

What are you guys taking for colds, anything? I want to take some cold FX but cannot find any research about if I can or not. Or eccinacia... which is herbal so should be ok i would think? Urghh I feel gross today. Coming down with a cold and a super sore throat, and also i think this is my first bout of nausea today. All…

Sorry you had such a scare! I can imagine how you felt. But like mamatoabunch said, brown is old blood, and if you have not had any severe cramping or any bleeding since then I am sure you are golden!

AT least you weighed yourself! I am too afriad to weigh! lol! I know I am probably up, with christmas goodies and what not around. I am definately not an expert, but 8lbs in 13 weeks definately sounds reasonable to me!

So I was talking to one of my good friends last night about how I cannot wait for our vaction and laying in the hot tub. She is one of the few people I have already told about my pregnancy. Anyways, she told me that as a pregnant woman I should not be in a hot tub... so this morning I started looking it up. I am kind of…

Happy birthday to Kellen!! Good for you on the excercise too... I haven't gotten on my treadmill in about 4 days now... better get back into it!

I have been having weird symptoms lately- it seems too early! I am only going to be 6 weeks on Friday. Please tell me if anyone has experienced similar this early. - Occasional cramping (I have read this is completely normal) - Shortness of breath (walking up on 1 flight of stairs! It's awful. Probably because I am a big…

I plan to tell my work when I am 12-13 weeks- just so I am past the first trimester. I really want to tell them sooner but my dr has advised against it...

Went and saw the dr today who will deliver me. She was so nice, soft spoken, and seemed very caring. I am so happy after having a terrible appt with my regular family dr. Going for all my lab work today at lunch, and then my first official prenatal when I get back from our delayed honeymoon in January. Will be going on 11…

Yayyy I am so happy for you! I go to see my actual dr. that will deliver me tomorrow! not sure if they will do an ultrasound or not though.

Good for you! I am feeling quilty because I haven't gotten on the treadmil since Wednesday! First thing tomorrow morning...

Also wanted to mention- he wants me to aim for 1800 calories per day, while when I select maintenance on my fitness pal it puts me at 2300!! Thats quite a difference eh?

I had my first drs appointment today... what a waste of time!! I felt like it was so rushed and like he couldn't wait to get into his next appt. He was not offereing any recommendations at all, I had to specially ask anything I wanted to know, and I forgot to ask him about coffee and deli meats. He did not send me for any…

WELCOME!!!! I am very new here too but everyone is sooo nice! I just have to ask what SPD is?

Wow you guys are excercising a lot at a high intensity. Even though I am quite heavy I used to go to step class on Saturday morning (have not been in about 4 weeks). Do you think I could still do that? It is a high intensity class, hence why I am afriad- to go back to it (ie because of my fear of something going wrong)

How often is everyone excercising? I am planning to spend 40 minutes on the treadmil at a moderate pace (enough to break a sweat but not over-do it) 3-4 times per week. More perhaps?
