Glad they were able to take you on Summer! My husband came from a family of eight and every time a child was born he or she would "bring" the siblings something. Usually something little like a chocolate bar. Apparently it helps younger kids (2-5 maybe?) from being resentful of the new sibling stealing all the attention.…

Does it stop when you stop walking? Sometimes when I laugh or move quickly I get a pain in my stomach but it's in a really hard spot (either baby's bum or head) so I just figured it's skin stretching or muscles being restricted. Your doctor is only a phone call away though and if it does end up being an issue it's always…

I think thats what you meant for us to do? I'm sorry about the grammar and messed up wording... I'm not sure what's up with my autocorrect... or maybe it's just baby brain. Either way, I'm going to sleep, lol. Maybe the next person can correct that. Also, my 12 mo old is a girl, if that matters.

Hello! Congratulations on your pregnancy! :) I craved coke and fries all during my first pregnancy too! This time has been better cravings wise. How you adjust your settings depends on your pepregnancy weight. There are several pregnancy weght gain calculators you can try online that will give you a rough estimate of how…

Hello! Welcome and congratulations! I'm pregnant with #2 as well and I have a one year old too. :) I'm due at the end of October. You can add me if you'd like. :) I never made it back down to my pepregnancy weight but I did get pretty far. Hoping to gain less this time so the aftermath isn't as long thus time around. :)

I hope your test goes well, @poke987! And yay for a boy @sarieth05 ! Me too! :)

I'm sending some positive OB thoughts and baby turning thoughts your way too Summer! :) Two weeks ago I had an ultrasound and baby was head down. This past week he is feet down and I didn't even feel the flip. I was only 21 weeks though. :) Kristen, that's so sad about your friends baby. :( it's one of those things that…

Lol I was sitting on the floor the other day and when I stood up I realized that baby must have been pushing right up into my ribs.... so sore! I'm done with pregnancy now. Haha, I want to get back to losing weight.

I've got a summer wedding the beginning of July. I think I will be around 24-25 weeks by then and I plan on going the maxi route as well. I have a nice dress that I could wear, but it's the wrong season (fabric is thick) and I wore it to a the brides brother's wedding the year before last. Maybe I will go shopping for a…

@RosieRaz haha! Yes pregnancy conversations are actually pretty hilarious when you think about it! :) @summer8it yay for good glucose results! I bet that's a huge weight off your shoulders! Enjoy your "better than nutella" treat! :) I have listened to my hypnobirthing tracts and I do find them very relaxing and not like…

Oh, and I had my followup ultrasound today. The ultrasound technicians aren't supposed to give us any medical information, but the technician told me that the placenta has moved well out of the way! So happy to hear that! Now I'm just waiting to hear it officially from my midwife and we're set. I will ask how far away it…

@RosieRaz ouch! I hope that's the worst of the bills for you :( I've never flown before in my life (it's on my bucket list though) so I'm no help. Sorry! @summer8it I think it's good you're getting a doctor that you feel comfortable with. That is soooooo key! Let me know how the hypnobirth goes. I have all the materials at…

Hello and welcome! Congratulations on your pregnancy @WestslopeCutty! :)

Hi Brittany! Welcome to the group and congratulations on your baby boy! I'm expecting a boy too on October 23rd. :) My weight shot up this week so I'm going to work extra hard this week to keep myself in check. For this week I'm supposed to be in between 183-187 but I tipped the scales today at 188.4. :neutral:

Lol, thanks for the "good moving vibes"! :) My last labour was pretty much straight out of a textbook. Water broke, got put on pitocin (yuck), labored, epidural, pushed for several hours, then baby was there 14 hrs from water breaking. I'm hoping for a similar labour and delivery again although hopefully without the…

I'm not sure about whether I will need a c-section if the placenta doesn't move. It wasn't mentioned to me, but I will admit that the idea did run through my head. While I'd love to bypass labour if I could, I'd really rather not have to deal with a c-section recovery if I don't need to. (Of course, id rather have a safe…

You are amazing and beautiful inside and out! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us all! :) keep up the excellent work!

@poke987 I agree with @katiebrew ! You kept up your running so well and that's great! If you were within a normal bmi range then gaining up to 35 lbs is normal still; I'm sure that any swelling plays a factor and that logging will help to control future gains. I've also heard that a lot of women don't gain at all in the…

Oh no Summer! :( I hope your test comes back fine and that it's not as painful this time around! By one point... that's awful! Keep us posted. poke - yay for rash disappearing! Hopefully that is the end of that. And yay for sleeping better! :) Helen - I really like the name Clara. I think it's relatively popular now too or…

Well done! Your face looks dso different too!

@KatyAverill try looking up a pregnancy weight gain calcator to help you out. It calculates your bmi before getting pregnant and will tell you your goal weight range at the end of pregnancy. You can then adjust your calories to fit that goal. (Of course you should always make sure this is ok with your doctor.) I maintained…

@ summer8it I guess that's proof that perception is everything, eh? Not exactly what a pregnant woman wants to hear though. ... @KatyAverill welcome to the group and congratulations! :) I'm due October 23rd. :)

Welcome nwright and congratulations! :) I'm due around the same time as you (Oct 23). I get to find out this coming week if baby is a boy or girl! :) so excited. In other news, I've gained 6 lbs in the past two weeks. Any thoughts on trying to maintain for a couple weeks or should I just write it off and try to scale it…
