    Advice urgently needed - really distraught

    RE: just a hug... You have been given some great advice here, so I really have nothing further to add, except that you are a lawyer and that could be a huge advantage in the future. My heart goes out to you fitnik, I can't even imagine the stress you are under. After the birth of our first...

    Flaxseed during pregnancy

    Good question! I have no clue, but have wondered this also. I can't imagine that it can do any harm, but I would never touch anything unless I knew for sure. Anyone?

    RE: Me too..... CONGRATULATIONS!!!!Wow, what a great delivery, I am very envious! So glad to hear you and that wonderful little guy are doing so well.

    Well, I guess today is as good a day as any

    Jane, YES, that is exactly like me! At night I will often say to my husband, its twins baby! Honestly I was around this size when I was 4 months with my first. I kinda thought the ole stomach muscles may have firmed up a bit, with working out and being the amount of time since my last...

    Is there something wrong with me?

    You know, I think its better to be your way than hysterical about every little thing. I've talked to women that put all their spare time and energy into the nursery and organizing clothes and diapers etc. and they have months to go still. Its like they are forgetting to enjoy the moment, as they...

    3rd Trimester Stepping Questions

    Hi Erica, with my first two prgns. I did not lower my step at all, but the jumping had to be totally modified (jumping jacks etc.), as it was very uncomfortable. I played it day by day though, and would do only two segments on some days instead of all three (I'm a chronic skipper of warm-up and...

    Well, I guess today is as good a day as any

    Thanks everyone with your words or encouragement. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to talk to some women who gain 25 pounds throughout their pregnancies and don't move except to get around for everyday living...it ain't fair! I'm over it though, and so glad some of you can relate and had...

    Well, I guess today is as good a day as any

    Hi Becky, yes, we do have a lot in common! How did you tell your daughters? That is going to be the biggest thrill ever! I'll have to make sure I tape their reaction. Thanks for the re-assurance on this weight gain, man, I hope it is temporary and it all slows down. I too, need to keep something...

    Well, I guess today is as good a day as any

    To announce my pregnancy as well. I am approx. six and half weeks along. I have known for a month, but have told no one except a very good friend, my sister and my hubby. My girls are going to faint with excitment when I tell them, but I want to figure out a really cool way to do it. They are 8...

    Why why why are people always so very negative/unsupportive?

    Is it jealousy or envy that you are doing what you want and having a baby? So hard to figure people out, so why bother? Let them have their issues, because it is not really about you, likely they have some kind of inner turmoil going on and you are, unfortunetly, the 'punching bag.' Stay true to...

    Self Tanners

    I just had the shock of my life when I tried to order my skin cream and just happened to ask the pharmasist if it is okay to use when pregnant..big fat NO! Yikes! I told her I used it non-stop with my first two and while I was nursing them, she was silent on the other end and then said, shall I...

    An upsetting reaction

    Hazel..you have a "friend" that said there was something you could DO about your pregnancy? Holy, man, we must have different definitions of friends. That is ugly. I can't even imagine how that must have made you feel.

    An upsetting reaction

    RE: I sure he'll be OK Bottom line: your life, your decisions, your baby...anyone that has 'issues' with it well...don't let the door hit you on the way out. Live and let live. Never let someone elses' opinion keep you from being happy, regardless if that someone else is a relative.
