    newly pregnant with #5 and lots of anxiety

    Shannon, I agree with Maggie 100%. Eat healthy ( as much as you can with food aversions, etc) and the weight will come on to support the pregnancy. You know it will and can come off. I know how you feel and its probably excaberated now because of the hormones but you know this feeling...

    question about horseback riding

    Amy, Congratulations!!! I know you will speak with your doctor but I thought horseback riding was a big no no. Scuba diving, any impact sport at any time throughout your pregnancy. I am sure other Mom's will respond but I recall with my first the doctor told me to stay clear of step...

    RE: I finally have a Hi there, I am on the pregnancy forum these days but do check in and saw your post. I had to tell you I would have thought you were in your late 20's for sure. I guess living a healthy life ( and more likely good genetics) pays off. Good for you!! You look fantastic!

    Gender--To know or not to know?

    Such a personal and individual choice. I did not find out last time nor will I or did I this time. Just my opinion finding out at the time of delivery is like nothing else. It is the whole process my hubby and I love. I will never forget the momement when the mid wife said ," Its a girl!"...
