Just what I wanted to hear :) thanks ladies!

How is it going at work??? I thought you'd find it funny that as soon as I made the comment that no one said anything rude to me, I got a rude comment. My MIL said to me I was a "fat mommy" and a "chubby mommy". I honestly don't think she means to be hurtful, but come on! No one wants to hear that.

Oh, and my OB in Australia and the USA both weighed me at every visit..... My midwife now in Canada has said she doesn't like to weigh as it puts too much emphasis on something that is so subjective and unreliable. She measures the tummy instead :love:

You are not alone and I can so relate to this post. I've struggled with body image and weight since 12 years old..... I'm a weird one and find the " how much have you gained" thread helpful as it shows me the wide range of bodies and weight. With that said, I am trying to keep my obsessive thoughts about my body on the…

So.....we traveled for over a month.... Great Barrier Reef, New Zealand, Fiji, back home to Oregon for the baby shower and then moved to Canada last weekend. I'm exhausted. GBR was amazing for snorkeling! New Zealand was absolutely breathtaking..... We stopped at a gorgeous river that was this crystal clear turquoise color…

Hello Ladies! It's been awhile, but we finally made the move to Canada this weekend and we're getting settled in. Welcome MtMcConnel! RBX- nice score on the pump! Glad your furniture came in too! I bet that's a relief. Welcome Abby! Tara, Laser - hope you're all doing well. Jess, glad the ultrasound went well! MormonMommy-…

Wow....people are strange. I'm interested in how it all goes. I'm not much help as no one has touched me yet and only 2 strangers have made a comment (all nice). I'd maybe say, "I'm a bit confused, I've felt that I've made it clear that I don't like being touched or having comments made about my body. It's clear to see…

You're doing great! I've known people who gained a fair amount and lost it. This thread is nice because it reminds me that each person and body is different. There's so many factors that come into play regarding weight gain........it's all subjective.

Hi Tina, I found mine linked through my Midwife Clinics website. When I met with my midwife I asked if she'd worked with the doula I had in mind, she had many times and raved about her and said they were a good team.

Snowgrrl- hang in there! You're doing great.... I hope you have that baby soon!

Hey Ladies! Happy Valentines Day! Drooling over the mention of chocolate dipped strawberries.... I hope everyone is feeling ok and has enjoyed their day. I've been feeling uncomfortable and having trouble sleeping.....scared to think of how much worse it will get. Also, I've had some pains in the groin, like a continuous…

I've counted but at 1 calorie a minute or less.......then keeping in mind that it could be much lower :wink:

Sorry you have to deal with this. I had horrible morning sickness and finally had to go on Zofran, it helped a lot.

Fun, fun! Has anyone gone on their babymoon yet? (Husband eye rolls at that word, ha) We booked Fiji! So excited........ Trying to book a Great Barrier Reef 3 day cruise too, but their cut off is 26 weeks pregnant..... We'll see.

Thanks :smile:

Walking every day for 1+ hour, adding back in two prenatal DVD's (Yoga and Strength) and hoping to add weight lifting back in too.

Thanks Snowgirl! Congratulations Velocimama, what a beautiful Bub! So glad to be back on a normal schedule, cooking our own food! 6 weeks: +1.2 7 weeks: -0.9 8 weeks: -0.7 9 weeks:+1.0 10 weeks: +3.4 11 weeks: +5.0 12 weeks: +5.8 13 weeks: +4.7 14 weeks: +4.7 15 weeks: +6.5 16 weeks: +6.4 17 weeks: +7.1 18 weeks: +9.5 19…

Was Zullily good quality? Always eyeballing the sales. Wanted to add I purchased from Asos (UK brand). Cute stuff, but a wee big...... I should have ordered a size down, but I was worried about sizing. I got this and it was cute :…

Wow....so many ladies are close now!! Hope you're holding your little babies soon! Just returned from Canada where we walked 4-5 miles most days. Can't wait to get back home and on a normal schedule for a few weeks.... 6 weeks: +1.2 7 weeks: -0.9 8 weeks: -0.7 9 weeks:+1.0 10 weeks: +3.4 11 weeks: +5.0 12 weeks: +5.8 13…

Hi Ladies, I love all these snack ideas! Can't wait to get back to Australia and on a normal routine for a few weeks. Canada has been nice, but wow..... Vancouver is about as expensive as Australia. Especially the housing. Nice city, we walk everywhere and so diverse too. Still searching for a corporate housing option.....…

Lovely, thanks ladies!

I'm so sorry for your loss, thinking of you.....

Any one else stumped for names??? I've looked at tons and nothing is jumping out at me as "the one" :frown:

Sounds like a great experience so far! Can't wait to hear how everything goes........ You're getting so close now :smile:

Exciting!!!! :smile: I like my Fiona sports bra from Moving Comfort..... Lulelemon TaTaTamer is really supportive too, I've been slacking big time since being in the US. Starting up again, walking an hour day......also will add back in weights and my Prenatal DVD's. Keep up the good work ladies!

Thanks Nursen! Glad you enjoyed them. I have watched the business of being born and it was an eye opener, for sure.
