Tomorrow my goal is to have at least 3 different types of fresh fruit and only drink water (as well as my morning berocca)

Great idea! My goal for today is to recognise when I'm full and stopping before I feel gross. So far doing okay. I know there's still chocolate around but remembering I don't feel that awesome when I eat more than a few pieces

haha not 6'7, I'm 5'7... I'm used to centimeters aka 170cm

i dont know if this counts as 'sick' but we were rehearsing for the school play, final scene with everyoen on stage. i do a massive sneeze and a massive amount of green snot goes flying out of my nose and is hanging off my face. while it was embarassing, im so glad it was only at rehearsal and not the actual performance!

Christchurch, New Zealand. waaaay down at the almost bottom of the world compared to everyone else

armpits, yeah I think shaven is best. its not like it takes ages to do in the shower. im lucky that my leg hairs don't get very long or scratchy so I can get away with not shaving for ages, and I wear pants/leggings 95% of the time. and if I do, its a treat. if I had thick, dark hairs I'd be a bit more vigilant with…

you must be starving! I decided to get back into logging when i was about 20 weeks pregnant (hadnt gained much at all really ) and used my old stats from weight loss during the last year as a guide. I WAS on 1500 cals when losing and working out quite a bit and eating back some calories. For pregnancy (and a starting…

The easiest thing is probably to do variety of planks and pressups which you should be able to do right up to the end of pregnancy. my favorite youtube workouts are Xhit as there are heaps of workout to choose from with a variety of exercises, lengths etc. im still doing them now at 7 1/2 months pregnant. i just skip the…

Wait till a few weeks after baby arrives to get a real guage of what you have lost and gained. At 37 weeks theres isnt much you can do now apart from eating healthy and walking. of course you will have put on weight. I lost 10kg in 6 months from MFP and within 2 months of maintenance I got pregnant again. At 31 weeks ive…

yes, a maccas cheeseburger or bk salad burger. i blame the cheeseburger thing on being pregnant as thats what i craved last time. but i dont get them as often anymore
-
hopefully its your body prepping you so labour will progress faster. do you know if baby is facing back to back on your spine? I hear that can give you back troubles

I'm Harmony. 27, married, have a 2 1/2 year old boy and another boy due in 3 months. I got all into MFP and logging when my son was about 18 months but have been off track since I got pregnant. Ive just started logging again the last few days, hoping to be more mindful of what I eat while pregnant. We live in Christchurch,…

That's pretty much all my names in that list right there...now we have to decide on one!
-
We have a Logan Aaron and now another boy on the way. Names so far could be Ollie, Xavier, Jeremiah, I really like Josiah but my friend just had one, Luca, and I like Riley, Jamie, Jonah, Eli, Elijah, Elias and Jacob but I know too many little Jacobs. 4 1/2 months to figure out a name. Last time we were were set on Seth…

Here's my cheapie idea. Use a rubber band on the button of your trousers. loop it around the button, through the button hole and back onto the button. It gives you that's extra stretch in the pants just a little longer when your belly starts to take shape. I guess you can increase the rubber size until you don't fit your…

You sound pretty similar to me with previous pregnancies and this time too. I'm 21 weeks today with starting weight of 55kg/121lb and gained 3kg/6-7lb so far. I'm 5'7" so a little taller though. I have a midwife appointment this week so I'm wondering if she will say anything about weight gain being small, especially as I'm…

Hey December mummies! I'm due Dec 2nd with another boy (my first born march 8th 2012). I'm hoping to not quite get to due date as last time I was 9 days over and I developed pre-esclampsia from my due date. So far things have been alright. I've put on 3kg at 21 weeks but that's only from the last several weeks. I put on…

2 1/2 years ago I started at 60kg and gained 20kg and it felt horrible being so big in the end. I didn't look it until I was stuck in a hospital bed for a week when baby came. Now I am 16 weeks pregnant, starting at 55kg and this morning I was 56.8kg. in the first 14 weeks I gained 0-0.5kg and now its starting to add on…

Me too. Im 14 weeks with my second, my son is 2 years old. both times ive had to take multiple preg tests over the first few weeks just to check im still pregnant because I worry, especially with bleeding. then theres the relief of the first scan. now I can finally feel that there is something growing with a slightly firm…

If im gross, sweaty and looking like a gumby on the treadmill then no, don't look. If I just finished working out and I feel awesome and accomplished and my face is no longer like beetroot, them maybe yes. but generally, I like to keep to myself like im invisible and hope no one sees me. I personally don't check guys out,…

My husband got me the Samsung gear fit so I guess this is kind of similar. I mainly use the pedometer to get my 10,000 steps and check my heart rate when im doing something active just to make sure im not going too hard out as Im pregnant. I can keep an eye on my heart rate while recording an exercise such as walking or…

From the people I've talked to here in New Zealand, many don't go for the idea of an epidural. They aren't anti but I guess there are options of water birth, gas etc. and the epi isn't encouraged. I wanted a water birth but due to my induction I was stuck in bed and sucked on the gas for 7 hours. For the one person I know…

Don't worry I'm not a huge water drinker either. I remember seeing somones MPF food diary and saw they were having like 15 cups of water a day. I tried recording mine and I had 2-3 max even when doing to the gym regularly. If I want to keep my fluids up (especially coz im pregnant and thirsty now) I make sure I have a…
-
yes!!! I know how you feel! I was never officially diagnosed with this but I did a lot of Googling about it. Two years ago with my first pregnancy I got insanely itchy a couple of days before my due date and I ended up being 9 days over. I had pre-eclampsia but only for the last few days. I already had a bazillion stretch…

Hi mums or hope-to-be-mums! Isnt it hard when you've lost weight then get pregnant knowing that you will have to put some back on. Of course its all for the greater good and healthy of the baby but it takes a little while to come to grips with it. For the first time in my life I actually needed to lose some weight (not…
-
Do people not feel the baby kicking? I had a super active baby. By 15 weeks I could feel (first baby), by 19 weeks my husband could feel. Before long, the baby would move so much it shook the bed. I thought it was weird that I was 3 weeks further along at my first scan than I though. I understand the period thing. some…

I was 130lb when I got pregnant in May 2011 and gained 40lb. I had been kind of fit and semi-healthy but was so worried about the baby dislodging or whatever during the first few weeks that I stopped running and was pretty casual with my exercise. I didn't watch my eating either. I got soo hungry second semester. I lost…

When I started putting on weight AFTER I had lost all my baby weight (when my son was 15-18 months it started creeping up. Everyone kept asking if I was pregnant again which I wasn't (although we were trying which made it a bit tricky) and I got sick of it. So no I'm not pregnant yet but I don't look it either. I am…
