    Can't workout without falling asleep afterward!

    Ok, I was thinking a little bit more about what you wrote. Could you be low in iron??? I know that will knock you down pretty good as well and that is very common in pregnancy. I have a feeling this post is going to be long....sorry. You may want to do a little research on your...

    Can't workout without falling asleep afterward!

    You may just be tired, that is always a wonderful effect of pregnancy, especially since you are chasing 2 kids around already. But I am also wondering how you are doing on your protein intake? My midwife said that when we are pregnant and breastfeeding, we should have 70-100 grams of protein a...

    where do you find the energy

    Oh yeah, definately. Just being on your feet all day is a workout now considering you are carrying that baby and you have probably put on somewhere around 20 pounds. Just think about it. If you were not pregnant and someone strapped a 20 pound weight on you and told you to hold it all day...

    Post Partum Sept. 17

    Hello everyone! Well, last week was a bad week for workouts. My wonderful daughter must be going through a growing phase or teeth moving or something. She has had me up every 2 hours again that past week. Not sure why. She was sleeping through the night before last week. She did sleep...

    Post Partum Sept Month

    You may have what I call a 'breast baby'. Some babies LOVE to be close to you and love that feeling of warmth, and for them, that means nursing. My first daughter was like this. She always had to be held and if she was not, she would cry (well, scream). I wound up buying a sling for her...

    My grandma died last night!

    I am so sorry for your loss. It is never easy to lose someone, no matter how old they. I will be praying for you and your family. Robin

    Post Partum Sept Month

    Hi Chrissy. I have a hard baby to burp as well. I found for her that the over the shoulder really didn't get the burps out. I use a different hold. I will try and explain it here. You may have seen it in a baby book too. I have her sitting on my lap and I put my hand on her chest and...

    Hey Moms - Potty Training question!

    Hi Tricia. Does your daughter have a favorite character? The reason I ask is I created my own little sticker chart. My girl LOVES Dora, so we went online and found some fun Dora pictures. I let her pick them out. Then I copied them into a word document and put a chart in there. She liked...

    Do I need to lose weight before TTC?

    I agree with the others. I wouldn't really 'diet', but just eat clean. It is true, if you eat 1800 calories a day and you are eating clean, those calories will go a long, long way. Just focus on being as healthy as you can be and things will fall together. good luck!

    Hi Chrissy! Congratulations! I love your name (my 3 year daughter's name is Ella...so I could be biased :) I usually don't post on this thread, but wanted to jump in on this one! Yes, your milk will settle in. It takes a bit for it to level out. Our bodies are amazing. When she is...

    Early pregnancy spotting

    I spotted with both of my pregnacies as well, both turning out just fine. Around week 8 and then again around week 12. I definately agree with the others. Keep in touch with your doctor, especially if you do have cramping. My mid-wife said that some women spot and it is remnants of blood in...

    My experience with Splenda

    Thank you for sharing this Monica. Just a few months ago I watched the documentary called 'Sweet Misery'. I was just fascinated with the movie. It was a little slow at times, but the info was good. It basically has all these testimonies of people who have had severe health issues being...

    Belly Bra anybody?

    I had something similar to this. It wasn't this brand, so I don't know how they compare, but I did get something like it. I personally liked it. My belly went way out there, and it just seemed to provide just a little support, not a bunch, but it made you feel a little more put together (if...

    Hey Moms - Potty Training question!

    OK....you may laugh at me....but it worked with my daughter. She was going number 1 just fine, but was so scared to go number 2. I finally made up a story about a park because my daugher LOVES the park, and by gosh the story worked. Before you read, be forwarned....I use the word poo-poo A...
