@KristenE83 - I wasn't very active this weekend either and I ate a LOT of high sodium foods too. Today I'm magically up 4 lbs. Hoping that's all just water weight that I can flush out by drinking water over the next couple days. I've been trying to be active too to see if that works :) We also got a pretty nasty heat wave…

It's problematic too when you play a fair bit of potential impact sports (hockey, soccer, etc) and all of a sudden it's not safe to continue to play (impact to stomach could harm the baby). Then what do you do?

@pensivelildee1 That's pretty well where I was, so I picked up a prenatal workout dvd and listened to my body when it told me to slow down or to give it my all. I had no problems with that.

@RosieRaz my midwife suggested not eating a couple hours before the appointment just because if I ate a pop tart on my way in obviously my sugars would be high. Worked last time. Diabetes tests go differently here. Here I go in and they give me the liquid. I drink it and I get to hang out there for an hour. Not allowed to…

I won a pedicure from a contest at my chiropractors office but I've been scared to book it since my nails are so brittle that they keep breaking. I already have funny tiny toenails and I really don't want to deal with any comments. Lol when I'm not pregnant my hair and nails are so much stronger. (I do eat prenatals and I…

Is anyone else still waiting for this magical glow people keep talking about? Like, amazing skin, hair, and nails? I had heard that if your carrying a girl you miss out on these things (the girl steals your beauty) but if you're carrying a boy then you get all these things (wives tale, I know, but hormones are different…

@ladyjaye25 congratulations on the boy! Mine is a boy too. @sarieth05 whenever I get leg cramps I try to get some extra few glasses of water a day into me and it works perfectly. My husband says milk is the cure, but personally I think that's just because milk is and liquid. He grew up on a dairy farm and so he has to say…

And congratulations! :smiley:

my last pregnancy I was only a couple pounds down after 4 days in in the hospital. If you had an iv you're probably just retaining water. Last time about 6 days later I woke up and didn't recognize myself in the mirror because I'd literally lost 10 lbs overnight. It will happen :)

I've never heard of a depression screening before. What do you have to do for that? It sounds like a good idea. @poke987 The sun room sounds lovely! I hope you're able to get it! Our laundry room is in an addition on our house with lots of windows and it's just wonderful :) I hope you enjoyed your weekend even though it…
-
WOW! Congratulations on your little boy! So glad to hear that things are progressing well despite what you all had to go through. Thats great your milk is in and hes gaining weight! Here's to a short NICU stay for Llyr! I will be sure to let my baby know that you've used up all the drama for the group so he knows not to…

Lol thanks! My daughter was born 11 days late so my chances for making it to November are really good I think. She was a fairly big baby too. 9lbs5oz. I hope you're able to get the date you want! That's neat with everyone being born in the same time of year. :)
-
@aleikita my daughter sleeps in pretty late too! It's so frustrating not being able to fall asleep again since I'd rather sleep in the morning than to be forced to take naps in the afternoon.
-
My doctor just said "nothing new" with workouts. So as long as you don't feel like you're doing too mug you should be ok. Ask your doctor for sure though as every situation is different. My favourite is Summer Sanders Prenatal Workout by Gaiam. It is prenatal, but you can easily make it higher or lower intensity based on…
-
@poke987 there's no doubt in my mind that that's mostly water!
-
@aleikita that's a good idea to stop drinking water at dinner. My nights have been so uncomfortable recently since I refuse to get up and use the washroom in the night. Then I end up getting up at 6 or so and have an awful time going back to sleep since the sun is up. Or maybe I should just actually get up already.... 7w:…
-
@KristenE83, I don't have a fit bit, but otherwise I'd totally add you. And I agree, you look great in your pic! :) I haven't taken my rings off yet, but I probably should try now since I'm actually not sure I could get them off if I tried... hate to think of what it will be like a few weeks from now. I feel like I am…
-
My doctor told me "nothing new" and "nothing that hurts". So if you ran before, run now until uncomfortable. Tracking food to keep weight gain under control is one of the main concerns here. :)
-
Sounds like you're doing well with getting all the final stuff done, Summer! :) My husband sleeps so deeply and falls asleep so fast I could be a chainsaw and he'd never know. Haha apparently my brother snores really badly but he's recently upped his water intake due to being dehydrated and aparently it's improved a lot. I…
-
Lol, Helen I was was just going to say that. Don't pass on or sell until you know for sure that it's a girl! :) I would imagine it's hard for the techs to get it wrong nowadays, but why take that risk. I've been trying to organize our spare room for when we move my daughter in there, but what a lot of work!! It has sort of…

Hi Tiffany! I'm not quite November, but close! October 23. I'm hoping for November though because I have this weird aversion to the idea of having a baby in October... I know,that's odd. Quite likely its because i thought my due date was November originally. My last baby was 11 days late though, so my chances are good for…
-
Welcome to the new members! :) glad to have you here! My nesting is kicking in too. It's a bit early for it though (24 weeks) so I hope that doesn't mean I won't have any energy at the end! I bought some paint and I'm eager to spruce up our spare room so my daughter can move in there when baby arrives. I've organized baby…
-
It only costs $100 to never have to shave that area again ??? I had no idea it was that cheap! I'm only at 24 weeks and baby is kicking hard enough that I can see my stomach moving! I'm curious (and a little scared, to be honest) of how hard he will be kicking 16 weeks from now! Lol
-
It seems to me like gaining weight is soooooo much easier while pregnant. My body is like, "Oh, you're 200 calories over your weekly goal? 3 pounds for you, girl!" :/

I have a baby carrier but I never really used it. I suspect I will use it more with this one since I will have two under two though. I am still keeping up with my grooming... but around 30 weeks last time I just let it go wild. Lol no one said anything to me about it.
-
I've been filling up quickly too, but I can eat constantly which is really no good for me since grazing too much all day long is how I got to the place where I needed to join MFP. It's tricky when I go out to someone's house for dinner because I can only eat so much and then afterwards I snack on whatever is served --…

Yay for good results with your glucose test, poke! :)
