I always get this, usually near the end of a cardio workout but sometimes all the way through. I try to continue at a light pace, or I find that changing to a cardio ezxercise/machine where im not standing helps i.e. a stationary bike. indiankel- welcome!! I had been taking the pill for several years before becoming…

aww man im missing so much not working at my computer! cant wait to catch up on everyones posts and answer rachels thread. Last day of conference tomorrow which is good in some respects (its been very intense) but im worried i wont be as inspired about my work area when i get home, i HAVE to put things in place to make…

Love the pic rach:) Will catch up more in the next couple of days. I'm actually sitting on the plane taking me to my conference in Seattle :) my bitthday was so good! My mam thoroughly spoiled me :) I certainly ate alot, after getting gifted with my fab chocolates, chocolate dipped fruit and a dinner out but I'm confident…

Regina- sorry about the high BP, i hope it calms down soon. good luck on your diet changes! do you bake just as a hobby? im missing baking so much! may get back into it soon to save some money on buying late night goodies :tongue: Julz- i feel like ive had a couple of crappy food days too. Though its been hard not to when…

rachel- hope baby decides to move down sometime soon. what were the symptoms of your bladder infection? i imagine its hard to tell when urinating constantly due to the pregnancy. I was prone to them pre-pregnancy so would like to know what to look out for rachael- sorry about the extreme lack of sleep, i hope she starts…

I think the journal is a cool idea. Also if shes into crafts or being creative maybe you could introduce her to an easy form of scrapbooking, where she could take pics of the baby/her and the baby and find creative ways to display them in her scrapbook

elizabeth- you and your little one are in my thoughts also :flowerforyou: am heading to the north end in boston tonight to eat at davide, which was recently on gordon ramsay kitchen nightmares!! am so excited :happy: Am also having a much better day than yesterday after a great sleep

Rachel- how exciting about your potential gift!! let us know what happens with that :smile: I am from NZ:happy: which is an amazing country. I had just started the third year of my degree but was in an extremely bad and damaging relationship (with someone who took alot of drugs, had little motivation and was determined to…

Katrina- My baby is a boy and is my 1st :love: Michelle- Im sorry about the nausea, it can be so draining and take the enjoyment out of one of the most enjoyable things during pregnancy=food. Hopefully your body will start behaving soon:flowerforyou: Ronya- thats a horrible start to the day!! On the up side, hopefully it…

Elizabeth- I was the one who posted something similar to your dilemma a week or so ago. I found being frank and really talking to my man about it most helpful, it gave me a good grasp on how he was feeling, what things he still really enjoyed and also let me vent about how the whole thing made me feel. Im happy to say that…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: ahh you just made my day

julie- Whatever happens over the weekend keep us updated!! whatever your final decision is is whats meant to be :smile: goodluck:flowerforyou: Katrina- Firstly i admire you for still getting everything done and seemingly overcoming every obstacle thus far. I think if your hubby read what you wrote hed totally understand!…

So after a successful couple of days on my no-sweet crusade i decided to treat myself to a cup of chocolate icecream with hot fudge sauce last night! the instant satisfaction was great, but the repercussions were horrible :sad: including dry retching and diarrhea before work this morning, yuk! So, because i was feeling so…

When a friend of mine's water broke she was in the middle of devouring the packet of chocolates that her hubby had hidden from her (as per her instructions), so before she ran to tell him she neatly put the chocolates back in their hiding place and disposed of the evidence :laugh:

thanks for that! I think i'll just stick with the OB, I'm lucky to have a family friend for mine so i feel that its personalized enough

oops didnt quite work out the "quote" thing right. Just wanted to add that its great your baby is already lying so low and that your most likely dialating nicely :) Setting the induction date will be so exciting!!! then the real countdown can begin. As for crying in the midwifes office-must be an everyday ocurrence for her…

I feel abit like my babies personal jungle gym today, with him squirming up below my breasts and dropping right down below my bladder all day long.
