For those of you that select/delay vaccination Can anyone give me some advice on which vaccinations you went with? How old your babies were? Etc. My doctor wants to start shots at 2months, I don't feel comfortable.

chickybuns-congrats on the arrival of your little man! Glad to hear that everything is okay!

So apparantly I've been continuing to lose my MP. It started on thanksgiving and have had 5 differenent appearances of it since. My dr. said that its completely normal. Had my 39wk appt last night. Big guy is measuring at 42wks. 2cm! Woohoo! They are anticipating him being a big boy, US 2wks ago said he was 8lb7oz. Dr.…

I lost my mp last night also along with the gi upset...experienced nausea today and not feeling so hot...hoping something happens soon!

Thanks Nicole!

I just had my 33wk appt yesterday and my doctor said that I did not need a birthing plan. I am going into it wanting a non-medicated birth and am going to breast feed. I know as soon as the baby is born they put some sort of ointment on his eyes, give a vit K shot, and start the hep B series. This all is very overwhelming…

I am having my baby at the hospital. I am planning on a non-medicated birth, which seems like a fun challenge considering these braxton hicks have been quite interesting! I am planning on breast feeding and making my son's baby food, its cheaper and healthier! So glad to see I'm not alone in these choices :)

I'm really wanting a non medicated birth. The hubs and I will be attending Lamaze classes and possibly hiring a doula. However, if I feel like I need something I will not beat myself up.

can't believe this labor and delivery story, your awesome!

This actually interested me. I figure what could it hurt?! My husband thinks I'm nuts! He told me that I'm not doing it because ppl will think we're gypsies, lol! I'm going to discuss it with my dr. at my next appt.

Thats what we are probably goint to end up doing.

Just had my checkup. I'm 25wks and up 17lbs from my prepregnancy weight. My blood pressure was good, 100/75. Ethan's heartrate was 154bpm. I have been having issues with spotting so no hanky panky for me and the hubs for another 7days. Dr. didn't feel that it was anything to be concerned about but said it was the general…

I must say that I am very suprised that the hospitals want to start vaccinating the babies the day they are born. Why does a newborn need a Hep B shot the day of delivery? And the ointment for the eyes that provents infection? Why would a perfectly healthy baby need all of these preventative measures they day he/she is…

23wks and up 10lbs! Goal is 25 max. I'm overweight to begin with. :p

I'm 18wks and have gained 4lbs. My dr. said a 20lb gain is plenty and that anything over 15lb is yours to keep! My own personal goal is 20-25lb gain. I didn't gain anything until 4months. I got pregnant being overweight so I really want to stay on top of this.

I apologize for being so absent on this board. I started my full time job and am adjusting to everything! I hope everyone is doing well! I just went to my 12wk checkup. I lost 2lbs which the dr. and I were both pleased. I'm going to make it a goal to gain a max of 25lbs. The dr. said that I will gain atleast 15lbs with the…

Welcome to all of the newbies! Its so nice to hear that everyone is moving right along! :) I've been MIA lately, sorry pals! I've been hit by the lazies and have become a zombie. I am finally not feeling the nausea anymore which is awesome! Still having some food aversions but I think it will be easier to eat and log my…

What are you nauseous ladies eating? Nothing looks good to me. I mean nothing, except granny smith apples. I've just been eating because I know I need to and for right now I quit tracking calories. I used to know that day before what I would eat and stick to that, now my diet is so up in the air. I am nauseous ALL day,…

Glad to hear everyone is doing well despite the normal pregnancy symptoms!lol! Wicked-Thinking of you, take it easy, and try to relax Well first of all I feel super foolish in "complaining" last week that I didn't feel pregnant! We are 7wks now and around 6.5wk I seemed to have been hit with extreme nausea, extreme…

Hey, today I experienced nausea for the first time and I'm hoping its the last, which I know better. It was terrible, I love food, and love to eat (hence belonging to mfp) and I couldn't stomach hardly anything. It finally subsided around 1500. I went to the store and bought crackers and caffeine free sprite just incase it…

I think its my husband that has me so paranoid. He's really getting on me with the exercising, wants me to stop completely. He is so afraid of me miscarrying or "giving" the baby birth defects. He was reading all of these horror stories on the internet. I've had blood work twice, so I def. know that I am. We have an appt…

Anyone not really feeling pregnant. Having slight cramping, not anything severe, just enough that I notice something. I'm wanting to take another test......thoughts??

I just found out that my husband and I are expecting. We are 6wks preg! Last night I just wanted to share that I came home from work at 530, had dinner, layed on the couch, and passed out. I woke up in my bed but I have no recollection of how I got there. I'm guessing I slept over 12hrs. Someone please tell me that this…

I'm a week and a half into upping my calories, usually eating anywhere from 1900-2200+ and I'm happy to report a 2.4lb loss! AND I'm not starving, whoot whoot! NSV, also I've struggled for 6yrs with an irregular cycle, spotting for nearly half of the month. I'm extremely happy to say that since upping my calories I have…

Like many others I decided enough is enough December 31. Start 179 Current 172.6 Goal 140 Height 5'6'' Any significant weight in the past that I was able to drop was from extreme starvation diets. I did WW, which hey if it works for you, great! I was not able to keep up with that point thing and I think they eat too…

Diary is open! And I should say freaking out is really how I'm feeling!

I'm starting phase 2 next wk!

I have mine manually set at 1600 as a base and exercise. I eat my exercise back if I'm hungry if not then I don't. Take your goal wt and "x" that by 10 then add 200 if you live a sedentary lifestyle or 400 if your really active (lifestyle does not include exercise) I took mfp advice and had my calories at 1200 and I was…
