I'm due in 20 days, and at my OB appt last week I was 2 cm and baby was locked and loaded and fully engaged to make his or her debut. I've been soooo uncomfortable the past week or so.

30 Day Shred modifications
Hello everyone, Thanks in advance for your advice. I am currently 25W 3D pregnant with my first baby. I'll admit that throughout most of this pregnancy I have been pretty lazy. After a full work day, and cleaning/cooking I'm left with barely enough energy to stay up and watch a show before bed. The few times I have worked…

Support needed. Working after baby
I'm feeling really sad/upset about returning to work after my maternity leave (6 weeks unpaid. oh yay!) and just looking for some support and maybe some encouragement from other moms. My job is office based, and 70%-80% of the time I am in my office, alone, with the door closed. Today I had a meeting with my boss about…

Alcohol Removed Wine
Hello my fellow Pregnant MFPers! I just thought I'd share this with you! Today I found a website for a company called "Fre", which produces "alcohol removed wine." I almost jumped out of my chair when I saw this, and I think the baby sensed my excitement because I started feeling kicks as soon as I read the description for…

Short Cervix?! Need advice/support
Hi Everyone. I just got back from the Dr. and I'm a little concerned. My cervix is only measuring at 2.3 cm and I'm 17W 4D with my first baby. The doc is giving me a prescription for a capsule that is supposed to keep my cervix from shortening any more, and I have to go back in 2 weeks for another ultrasound. I made the…

Baby Bump pics!
Today my husband woke up, and the first thing he said was "Hey I see that little bump coming through!" I got so excited, I made him take a pic. It's barely there, but still super exciting. Only 14 weeks along, but glad to finally see SOMETHING. Let's share our bump pics! I think they are so cute! [/URL]

Divine Intervention?!?!
I was really really craving a slurpee today, and there just happened to be a 7-11 right on my way back to the office from an appointment. So I stopped and got one (against my better judgement). Anyway, the diet gods must have been looking down on me, because I dropped it as soon as I walked out of the store. I was left…

Hip Pain that turns into numbness
I am experiencing a lot of hip discomfort when I work out. I have been doing the 30 Day Shred for about 2 1/12 weeks, and the pain just keeps getting worse, and my flexibility is getting worse too. It only hurts on my right side. When I try to do mountain climbers it gets to the point where I can barely move my legs at…

Boots for Big legs!
Hey everyone! I'm wondering where women with big calves get their boots. Not snow boots, but riding boots or any other leather boots that come up to the upper calf. I have the hardest time finding them. No idea where to look.

Question about 30 Day Shred
I just finished day five level one of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred, and I have a question for people who have finished the program or know a lot about circuit training in general. Right now I am using 5 and 10 lb weights for the strength training portions of the workout. On some exercises, the 10lb weights are extremely…

Treadmill Etiquette?
So I have a question... I am new to running, and really new to running on a treadmill at the gym. Anyway, I was running tonight, and another woman was running two treadmills down from me on the right. There were about 7 open treadmills to the left of me. Near the end of my run (while i'm panting and dripping sweat) a man…

Expensive NSV!
I ordered my wedding dress in September and this is what it looked like on me when I tried it on. Back front Yesterday, the actual dress came in. So, I had to go back to the store to try it on. I was happily surprised that it was WAY TOO BIG! I think I may need some alterations. back now front now

Running at night??
I am pretty new to running, but definitely learning to love it. As the seasons change and it's starting to get dark earlier, I'm having a problem with cars being able to see me. I don't want to start running in the morning, because I think running is a great way to wind down after a long day. SO my question is...What…

Lifting Heavy?
After reading so many posts about the importance of lifting heavy, I have decided to give it a try. The only problem is that I don't know where to start. What is considered lifting heavy for a woman? Right now I have ten pound weights and they feel pretty heavy to me when I am doing curls etc. Can anyone recommend some…

Face comparison...only 12 pounds down
I feel a little stupid doing this, but it's nice to give yourself credit every once in a while. The first picture was taken about a month and a half ago, and the second picture was taken about ten minutes ago. I have been avoiding the camera like the plague since the first picture was taken because i was so mortified with…

Neck and Shoulder Pain?
I don't think this is the right forum for this post, but....I notice myself getting more and more pain in my neck and shoulders during the day. I have a desk job, and spend much of my time at work typing on a lap top. Does anyone know of any remedies for this? Thanks in advance!

My First NSV!
So, I just now had my first NSV since beginning on this website about a month ago, and I am so excited about it. I've been doing the Jillian Michaels 6 Week 6 Pack workout for a few months now, but only once every week or two. This week I committed to doing the workout as advised, 5 times a week, for 6 weeks. I have stuck…

Good Carbs???
I am having trouble getting enough carbs in (according to MFP). Does anyone have any advice on which carbs I need to be eating. I usually have a piece of pumpernickel toast for breakfast, and typically eat 2-3 servings of fruit per day. I have been told to stay away from pasta and potatoes...any other suggestions on how to…

I need some motivating friends!!
I joined about a month ago, and I have about 15 friends. I need some more friends who are willing to hold me accountable for my actions. Constructive criticism is welcome. I'm trying super hard to stick to my calorie goals and work out every day. But, I think I still need a little extra push.
