  • I've gained 2 lbs this week. Highest jump yet... I've popped a bit but it looks more like fat than baby so I'm finding myself sucking my stomach in still at 19 weeks. Can't wit to actually look pregnant. I'm also not feeling much kicking and the kicks I am feeling could be gas too I guess... my ultrasound is on Monday so…
  • Pretty at all = prenatal that's autocorrect for you. Lol
  • I have been eating lots too apparently... unless all this weight is water (highly posible. I've been devouring pickles) I should look into some pretty at all classes too. Thyd probably help me stay on track with exercise. @summer8it stretch marks are the worst. Mine are just fading from a year ago. Looks like a cat…
  • good call. I wouldn't share either, haha! I'm glad the Google search worked for you. :) manga tries to be fairly modern, don't they? So giving a girl a "boy" name would make sense I guess.
  • Yay! Congratulations! :)
  • I really didn't mind the glucose test. It tasted like watered down non carbonated orange soda to me. Which actually sounds really nasty. Haha! @KristenE83 congratulations on the two boys! So exciting! I heard the other day that one of the first thing that forms is the placenta while pregnant, so chances are a lot of your…

  • Lemon slices and flavored water enhancers helped me to drink more water.
  • Lol! That's too funny Kristen! :) kids are so sweet and sometimes a little odd too. Haha! Im sure your little will come around, Helen! :) Mine is 11 months. She will be about 15-16 months when baby comes so im not expecting too much more than a little jealousy and lot of curiousity. Today was great foodwise until dinner…
  • My today name would be Bethany. :) I have a support band but I never used it the first time around. Possibly this time? we shall see. Bad news today is I'm gaining too quickly this week. I need to get these calories back under control! I've been eating first and logging later which in my situation has been proven time and…
  • I like Warren and Wilson. Walter is a nice name too. And I don't think you have to worry about using the name Myles. If anything your friend might find it neat that you both used the same name. Just a thought. I should also add that if my husband's name wasn't james I would definitely use that name. It fits in with tor…
  • Wade, Wayne... I'm stumped from there... do you have access to a baby name book? That may help with w names. We are still casually talking about names but we are agreeing on names we like quite frequently and are adding them to our list. It's just finding "the one" that feels right now. :) My sister in law had troubles in…

  • I have friends who follow CICO but also try these types of diets when they stall or feel like they arent getting anywhere quickly enough. (Not endorsing, just informing) Or they know they have an issue with over indulging on certain types of food and so they follow a diet that doesn't allow them the foods they seem to have…
  • @katiebrew that's so exciting! Congratulations on your little girl! While I'm sure that boys are fun, I can assure you that girls are so much fun! :) I hope everything comes back well on your scans.
  • So do I. I was just musing. There's no way I'm giving up my ice cream. :)
  • It does make sense to me that if you eat foods that allow your gut bacteria to thrive which in turn causes your body to function at an optimal level that you may be able to manage a higher caloric maintenance. However, you still have a limit to your calories and if you find yourself overstepping that limit, you will gain…
  • http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1 Also, you don't have a scale. If you were weighing on two different scales that could be an issue. Also, you should weigh yourself first thing in the morning before you've eaten anything.
  • I took all my old underwear that really should have been thrown out and wore them until the bleeding lessened. I didn't care if they got soiled because they really belonged in the trash anyway. I had an episiotomy and stiches and I was totally okay with wearing yoga pants right away. I wore yoga pants and a loose maternity…
  • The family loved the surprise and they were actually surprised too which surprised me. lol I'm 16 weeks along now and NO ONE guessed even though I definitely "popped" a little over a week ago now. As a result, my wardrobe has been quite limited over these past couple weeks, and it's such a relief to be able to wear tighter…
  • I've got my ultrasound booked for June 1st! :) soon I will get to know if our little bean is a boy or a girl! :) We are telling our family the good news this weekend. Soooooo excited! :)

  • Super thick pads. The hospital I went to provided them but would often run out and they were slow to be replaced. Shampoo/conditioner and your makeup/deodorant and toothbrush/toothpaste. I can't stress makeup enough. You will want a little bit of "normal" so badly afterwards. Hospital is super warm so pack light airy…
  • I find the second trimester is the best energy wise too. The first I'm totally wiped.
  • I'm do glad your rash is healing! Three cheers for small mercies! And good luck on yur marathon! :)
  • Wow, that's awful you have to wait so long for a midwife appointment. My midwives are really good for being on time. It's the ultrasound clinic that takes forever. I always wonder why they can't just schedule us all in an hour later. I have to do some room swapping too. We aren't in too much of a rush since we like to keep…
  • I'm so excited to feel baby kicking. Yesterday I could feel something but I wasn't 100% it was baby. Enjoy your clothes shopping, poke! Maternity shopping is my favourite because instead of constantly trying to hide my belly, I get to show it off! :) lol Enjoy your massage, summer! I've never had one before but I've heard…
  • So I found out this week that I am 2 weeks further along than I thought I was! Here are my adjusted weeks and my new weigh in. My starting weight is at 7 weeks - the week I found out. SW: 177.8 12w: 178.9 (+1.1) 13w: 177.6 (-1.3) 14w: 178.5 (+0.9) 15w: 180.3 (+1.8) Total gain: +2.5 lbs Goal: gain around 25 lbs max (or to…
  • How frustrating poke! :( Summer has a point about the nurses... every time I go I pee on a stick, weigh myself, blood pressure, doppler, done. That's also frustrating with the doctor who has "been through" 5000 births. I've read 5000 novels. Doesn't mean I know how to write one. Just saying. Call me sexist if you want, but…
