post partum bleeding-help please! :-)
Hi ladies! I got so much support from this group during my pregnancy that it made sense to come back now for advice. I'm 14 weeks post part um & on my 4th pack of birth control pills (2nd week). First 2packs were the mini pill, last 2 combo. I have been really good about taking them on time & did have a period between my…

Working & hoping for VBAC, considering delaying tubal.
Hi Mommas! Up until a few weeks ago my plan was to have a VBAC & then have my tubes tied. Now that I'm getting closer & actually thinking about the procedure I'm debating waiting a few months. I feel like if I'm able to have a successful VBAC that I probably wont want them to do anything to me right then. Does that make…

a first for me...about pee! lol
So I have had to pee a lot extra this morning. This last time I went I went to stand up because I felt done & I kept peeing...without feeling like I was peeing! I'm 33+1 today so its way too soon to be my water, right? I'm guessing the baby is pushing on something today. Anyone else have this happen? It stopped but a good…

31 weeks & TIRED!
Hi. I'm 31 weeks today & the past 3 days my energy level is crapped out! I get so tired standing. I'm not sleeping great every night but still. Friday night it was so bad I felt drugged! I keep feeling like I'm going to have my girl 2-3 weeks early. I'm not sure if that's just because I've got so much to do before then &…

Perfect Maternity for you?
Another mom talked about this today & got me thinking. What would be your ideal, perfect maternity leave? I do daycare from home & have already scaled back my kids to just one. My plan has been to only take 2 weeks off before taking care of the other little girl part time again. With it being around the holidays it will…

Happy News!!
Hi Mommas! I shared this w my November moms but wanted to share my happy news w everyone. A little background. I am planning to do anything/everything in my power for a VBAC. My husband & I found a Doula but the cost has been making it seem less likely that we will be able to use her. In July my OB/GYN closed & kind had to…

3rd trimester-adding calories?
Hi Mommas! Just wondering if you added calories when you hit your 3rd trimester? I have an app on my phone that says I should be increasing, just not sure. I know it's about that time where I'm bound to start gaining weight. As of Thursday I've only gained 6.5 pounds. I just don't want to get out of control after coming so…

pregnancy accomplishments this time vs. previous!
Another mom & mom to be made me think of this earlier. She mentioned she is still wearing her rings & I thought, wow me too! My last pregnancy I was 35-40lbs lighter & still couldn't wear my rings at all after 20 weeks, maybe earlier. My water intake was crap & my exercise was non existant. This time I am drinking more…

a little off topic...
Hi Mommas! So I've been married for 3 years & w my husband for 4. We are pregnant w our second child. Before even dating we both agreed we wanted kids & a family life. It's been anything but that. I'm getting to the end of my rope now & trying to think carefully about my moves & actions. I really want my marriage to work…

headaches?
Hi Mommas. I've been dealing w headaches and not sure what's up. It happened weeks ago & then seemed to stop. I kinda thought it was from wearing my hair pulled up constantly. Well yesterday I had a killer headache for about 6 hours before I could finally fall asleep. Today it's like a lingery off & on headache. If I move…

countdown to baby!! Goals & hopes!
Hi! I'm excited that I'm down to 19 weeks! So far I've gained 5lbs but the scale is hanging at 2 more lbs. I'm going to wait a few more days but really hope it's just fluctuation. I weigh myself almost everyday. I'm really hoping to gain only 10 more (or less!) in 19 weeks. I've been working pretty hard at it so far. My…

Anxiety, Depression, Flip out relief ideas?
Hi Mommas. I'm kinda hoping for some ideas on how to calm down or boost my mood during this pregnancy. With my first daughter I was home alone during the day & I'd have a glass of wine if I started struggling w this. (I discussed w my midwives & am not debating wine w pregnancy here) This time I spend my day w my daughter…

20 weeks & counting!
Hi! I'm very happy to have found this group! I had really hoped to lose weight before Feb when I was planning to start trying to get pregnant. Come March 3rd I got my wish, minus the weight loss part. So I've made it this far with very little weight gain & after some early pregnancy woes I am able to do some prenatal…

Looking for Support & Motivation!
Hi. I'm looking for additional motivation. I once lost over 100lbs & kept it off for years. Having a community board like this helped. I'm not sure this is the same tho. We had regulars, weekly weigh ins, daily conversations about food, life, stress & exercise. I don't need to lose 100lbs this time but 50 would be awesome…
