Thank you Melanie, Shopaholic and Lori. I feel better knowing this is pretty common. I had anxiety the night after the visit thinking there was some stunted growth going on. My mid wife tends to be an alarmist and I should know her better by now. I was initially not too crazy about her...

Hi Ladies, Just got back from monthly appt. w/my mid wife. I am 20 weeks along this week. My last visit ( 4 weeks ago) all was non eventful. I was measuring right where I was supposed to be. Today I was told the baby was "measuring small." I am 5 feet 6 inches and my pre pregnancy...

Cathefan, I was reading the other replies and was wondering how you were doing. I agree with you as far as friends/family not understanding the need to continue to stay fit while pregnant. I don't know anyone in my circle that eats as healthy or works out as much as I do so people just...

Hello Manmohini, Sure women do it all the time. Age too is not a factor like it seemed to be years ago. I know you are imagining yourself uncomfortable or big but the fact is you will have eyes on you because pregnant women in my opinion look beautiful especially if you exercise. I...

Cathe Fan, Yes, you will be just fine. You care about staying fit so right there you are in the right mind set ( we all must think that or we wouldn't be on this site.) Okay, My first trimester this time and last. I can do the low impact Cathe cardio also do the Gym Style Series. I...

Melanie, I am sorry too. I read your posts and knew you were exicted. Great attitude! You do have much to be grateful for having three healhy children. It will happen again. Suzanne

First off, Congratulations!!!!! You must be so exicted!! I will give it my best shot to answer your questions. When I was pregnant with my daughter I put on 10lbs. in the first three months. Could be I was always underweight, who knows. I think that is what my body needed. I too...

Nope , Ambien the short time I tried did not work for me. This was December 2005 , not too sure if the CR was out yet but I didn't try it. Yes, melatonin was suggested and I tried. It did not help other than I have to say did help more than the Ambien, warm milk, etc. The only drawback...

Hi Ladies, Thank you for the responses and advice. I look forward to them. I haven't had much look with acupuncture but do feel better for trying. Melanie, I too tried Ambien when pregnant w/Jennifer. I was 8 months and not sleeping at all. It was sort of surprising that it didn't work...

Hi Ladies, I tried Acupuncture last night for the first time. I am 16 weeks along with my second child. I had a problem w/insomnia while pregnant with my daughter. It is hormonal since insomnia was also one of my pms symptoms. I would always be up all night prior to getting my period...

Hi there, I am also 14 weeks today. I do not like the inbetween phase at all either. I felt this way the last time too. Your not ready for the maternity clothes but you almost wish you were. By 20 weeks that should change. I am not feeling sick the last 2 weeks and my appetite for...

Wow Amy, the Sugar Free Stovers cereal bars sound so good. I have never seen them. I have found Larabars recently to be so delicious and also very filling! All flavors work for me.

Hi Ladies, I have tried ," The Perfect Pregnancy Workout" Nicole sugested. I Love it. I do feel like I am getting a nice workout. It is a nonsense approach which I like. I received within days of ordering on line too. I would say to get it a try. It is fun and you can modify from...

Laura, I feel bad for all of you. I too would be curious how old Dad is? I had a friend who experienced the same problem. She never addressed it w/him. Do you think he is depressed? It sounds like it to me. Or he simply doesn't care. He is going to have to care. It seems to me very...

Hi there. I love a mug of sugar free hot cocoa. I add cool whip sugar free. I also keep in the house sugar free choolate either from the grocery store or sometimes we buy homemade from a local Candy Shoppe. The cocoa is filling particulary at night. It's empty calories but the cocoa...

I read your post. I am on the pregnancy forums these days. I saw your email and it caught my eye. All the emails are full of great advice. I hope you know people are here for you. It is not uncommon as you know what you are going through. You know it is a problem and you are addressing...

Nicole, I just purchased the DVD you suggested. It looks different and since you saw a difference after using it for your third baby I thought I would try it too. Thanks for sharing. Suzanne

Mattea, Wow. You don't have to be a Mom to understand. What a wonderful thoughtful email. You have made me feel 100% better. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to email me. Thank you so much Mattea, Suzanne

Hi Ladies, I work full time like many Mom's. Prior to becoming pregnant I would get up one hour early to work out. I had no problem unless my daughter was up at night. My husband prefers I work out at lunch if not in the am. He told me he felt that was "family time." I tried the am...

Thank you Tricia and Debbie. I know it's not a biggie but it's something bothering me especially getting ready in the morning. I know it is just a phase and it too shall pass onto something else. I appreciate your suggestions!!! Suzanne :-)
