Yes. I have received them in the past, just nothing recently.

Hello. We fully transitioned to a whole food plant based diet about 2.5 months ago in our household and I cant say enough positive things about it. Absolutely love what we're eating and feel like I have endless energy. It's been exciting to try new foods that I never would have ate. I recommend it for everyone!

Hello! My husband and I and our 3 kids are a whole food plant based household and therefore our diet is about 98% vegan. We had been transitioning for quite some time and finally fully switched a couple months ago. It was a bit nerve wracking at first but now it feels second nature and we love it. Feel free to message me :)

Hello! I am exclusively nursing my 11 week old son and I consume 1700-1800 calories per day and do light walking on my treadmill. I have lost 5 lbs so far in 11 weeks. If you are maintaining your weight you can try reducing your calories slightly (200 calories less per day) and see if that makes a difference. Just lower…

Hi ladies! I am also exclusively breastfeeding my 1 month old and still trying to figure out my calories to make sure I don't jeopardize my supply. I don't know yet how to lose weight while breastfeeding cause I'm too worried about decreasing my supply. My goal at this point is to make sure I don't gain any extra weight…

Hello! I just had my third 10 days ago and I am also nursing. I lost 110lb before getting pregnant. I gained 45 lbs during my pregnancy and I've lost 20 lbs so far doing nothing. I don't want to intentionally lose weight and sometimes it's hard to find time to eat with a newborn attached to me all the time. I'm waiting a…

I just gave birth a week ago to my third baby. I lost about 110 lbs and hit my goal weight before getting pregnant. I was also eating at a deficit for about a year and a half before getting pregnant. Once I found out I was pregnant, I raised my calories to maintenance level for the first trimester and upped it slightly…

He's here!!! We welcomed our beautiful little boy yesterday on his due date (Oct 28th) at 7:16PM weighing 8lbs 12 oz. It was a beautiful home birth with our family present. Couldn't be happier :smiley:

Congratulations bettymags!! Glad everything went according to your plan. My due date is tomorrow. Hopefully things are moving along. My braxton hicks have picked up in strength and I'm experiencing what I think is my bloody show on and off since Monday buy don't think I've lost my plug. My midwife says it's a good sign…

Welcome to the group! I am actually 39 + 2 weeks with my third. I know how you feel though. After my second I lost 110 lbs before getting pregnant with this one. And I didn't want to gain a massive amount of weight. I set a goal to gain between 40 and 45 lbs (I was only 127 pre pregnancy). As of today I've gained 45 lbs.…

Congratulations on the arrival of your little one. Glad everything went well.

I've been okay working. I'll be excited to be on maternity leave though so I can try and relax before this little guy decides to arrive. Only 5 more shifts yahhhh!!! My sleep at night is pretty decent. I really don't have much to complain about lol. I have my home visit with my midwife tonight so that's exciting. Just a…

I am due Oct 28th so 37+2 today. That's awesome that you are officially on maternity leave :smile: My last day of work is Oct 18th but I only work part time so I have 6 shifts left and they are short shifts anyway. We pretty much have everything ready. I know what you mean about the nesting. I also don't have the energy to…

Congrats lourdesong on the arrival of your little one!!! That's so exciting that she finally arrived!! And it's good to hear that you and baby are healthy :smiley: Bettymags, I know how you feel about the horrible hospital experience. I was induced with my first one 11 years ago. That resulted in a stressed baby and…

Hello!! I am 36+3 and I remember the first trimester being the hardest for me too. I gained the majority of my weight in the first and second trimesters and then it slowed down. Just do the best you can. That first trimester is brutal. It's not always easy to eat super healthy when you're not feeling the best. I didn't…

Congrats bettymags on the all clear for the home birth. I am also having a home birth with a midwife and I am super excited!! Is this your first home birth? This is my second home birth. I had a home birth with my second after a terrible hospital experience with my first and my home birth experience was incredible!!…

Well had my ultrasound yesterday and baby is indeed head down!!! So that is awesome news for sure. They also estimated that he weighs about 6lbs 1 oz so far with 4 weeks left to go. So the hard lump under my ribs is his butt and not his head. Now I'm looking forward to the next month :

Thanks. That gives me hope that he will turn around. I guess I still have another month till his due date so there's still time :smile:

Hello all. I'm currently 35+3 and as of my appt a few days ago we think our little guy is still breech. We have an ultrasound scheduled for Friday to take a look. I've been doing everything I can to hopefully get him to flip otherwise my natural home birth is out the window as I will be opting for an elective c section…

Hello everyone. I am almost 35 weeks due Oct 28th. Can't believe there's only 5 weeks left. It feels as though time has just flown by. Everything has been going good. Feeling very exhausted some days and sleeping during the day when my 3 year old sleeps. Still walking and staying as active as possible. This baby is super…

Hello. I am currently 33 weeks pregnant with my third. I am also planning on breastfeeding this one like I did my previous 2. I also wasn't calorie counting prior to this pregnancy. I've also heard that 1500-1800 (most should stay on the higher end of that spectrum) is recommended during breastfeeding. Of course, the less…

Haha I've had so many cravings over the course of my pregnancy so far (32 weeks). Most reason one.....jelly beans tonight lol. Had a few and got rid of the craving. I've had no weird ones but just specific ones like Shreddies cereal, mozza cheese, feticinni alfredo, Bounty chocolate bar, chocolate croissants!! Sometimes it…

I am almost 32 weeks pregnant with my third and I have tracked my food and continued to exercise throughout this entire pregnancy so far. Granted, in the beginning I ate like crazy but it leveled out in the second trimester. I started out at the lower end of a healthy BMI so I have gained 39 lbs so far. I'm hoping to keep…

I am 24 weeks pregnant and have been using MFP for 3 years before getting pregnant and during this pregnancy. It's definitely helped me be accountable for my eating and not over eating just because I'm pregnant. Don't get me wrong it's still challenging and some days I don't feel in complete control of my appetite (Baby…

Congrats on the little girl!! I have two girls now. Definitely a lot of fun. Lots of drama lol. I'm hoping a boy will be less dramatic lol. I'm feeling good. Been walking lots and it's nice to stay active.

Yes it's been hot here too. I haven't wanted to eat large meals and lots of salads cause I don't want to turn on my stove or oven. As long as you stay hydrated (which you are) then you will be fine :smiley:

Welcome to the group!! I'm due Oct 28th with my third, a boy. How have you been feeling during your pregnancy?

Hey everyone. We had our ultrasound yesterday. Baby looks perfect and healthy which I am very happy to hear. And we are happy to be expecting our first little boy to the family!!! I already have 2 girls so we are over the moon to have a little boy joining our family :smiley: Hope everyone is doing well and having good…

Congrats on the little girl :smiley: Thats very exciting. I have my ultrasound on Wednesday and hopefully baby will cooperate with us. I'm very excited to find out what we're having. My hubby has felt baby a couple times but nothing consistent although I feel baby all the time. I am 19 weeks and I have gained about 19…
