    Pregnant with 2nd Child Weight Gain

    I pooched out and my boobs got bigger much, much more quickly with this PG (my 3rd). My 2nd was quite a while ago so I honestly don't remember... DH tells me (as I'm pitching a fit about my weight/shape) that my body is just so much more *efficient* this time with demanding what it needs...

    How/When did you tell your boss?

    I had morning (all day) sickness pretty bad so most of my office guessed that I was PG before I told them. I told my boss early (~10weeks) because I work with stuff that could be a risk to the baby so I needed to go through the occ-med dept to be able to avoid such exposures. I would think...

    positive Trisomy 18 AFP screen

    Hi Lisa, It is my understanding that there can be lots of false +'s for all of the diseases that the AFP tests for... The AFP is a screening test so a negative *is* a negative but a positive isn't really a positive for anything. As for the US you had, you could talk to the US tech and find...

    Put on way too much weight

    Brigitte, I gained MORE than 40 # with my 1st (I'm not telling how much!;) ) and ~ 40 # with my 2nd. I lost the weight both times (except maybe 5#). I'm small too... size 4 when not PG. This time around, I seem to be gaining at the same rate... I won't lie and say that it doesn't bug me... it...

    Cramping non-stop

    I had cramping with my 2nd and current PG's. But... I always got it checked out. For me, it was *normal* and both timed an US showed me (and the MD) that the baby was just fine. I think you should call your MD to be on the safe side. Michele 25 weeks

    Moms-to-be Check-In Week of 12/6

    Hi everyone! I used to post on this thread but I ended up on "modified bed-rest" due to preterm contractions. But, it looks like things have slowed down now. The MD took me off of the bed-rest and said I could walk for 15 minutes at a time and could do yoga... no lifting, no intense...
