    Prenatal vitamin question

    I always took mine before bed, and not on an empty stomach. Never knew I was doing all the wrong. Also wanted to add, if you have a Marsh in your area, not sure where you are from that they will fill a prenatal prescription for 1 year for free. Some new promotion that they are doing to try to...

    Supplements while nursing

    I am looking for a good protien shake that is nursing friendly. It would be so helpful to have something healthy that I could just grab when we are rushing all over the place. Does anyone know any that are ok to take while nursing?

    post-partum inches vs weight loss question

    I am in the same boat. Back in my clothes for the most part, but not back to my weight. I don't get it either. Kudos to you for getting your workouts in and eating clean! I hope you see the results you are looking for soon!

    Exhausted and Frustrated

    I am now 4 months post-partum and back to work full-time. I have a 26 month old that doesn't consistently sleep through the night and a 4 month old that isn't sleeping great either. I so desperately want to lose the baby weight and get my body back, but I can hardly keep my head up to work...

    Help with weaning/discomfort

    If you think it is because you are still producing milk, try taking sudafed, a lactation consultant had me take that after I weaned because I dried up on one side before the other. And it worked quickly.

    double strollers

    I have a 26 month old and a 4 month old. We are finding a double stroller will be pretty handy to keep us out and about. Any of you have strollers you would recommend? I would love to get a jogging stroller, but those are pretty wide for other purposes, like fitting down shopping isles. So...

    hand numbness

    I had this with my first pregnancy. At some points I couldn't even grip things anymore. It was really odd that being pregnant could cause that. But it went away within 2 weeks of delivery and I haven't had a problem this pregnancy with it. I did end up developing pre-eclampsia last time. I...

    stretch mark cream

    I have heard they are genetic also. But I still feel that I have to put something on just for peace of mind. So I use pure vitamin E oil in the am and that palmer's belly butter in the evening. I didn't get any stretch marks with my first and my mom and sister have none. I hope that you...

And my toddler doesn't sleep well at all (we are usually up at 3am to go potty, then up for at least 20 minutes to get back down and the alarm goes off at 5:30 and...

    my first pregnancy

    I just wanted to reaffirm that some women gain more the first half of the pregnancy than the second. My entire family gained this way. I was pretty fit prior to my first pregnancy and gained 42 pounds and gained them quickly. It bothered me to gain, especially in places I knew the baby wasn't...

    Feeling down about weight after pregnancy

    It took me a little extra time too. With nursing I had to really do it slowly or my supply went south quickly, so I just took my time and worked at it as much as I could and within about 5 months I was below my pre-pregnancy weight (and I gained 40 pounds). Keep at it and stay motivated! Once...

    Belly button pain during pregnancy???

    I had this with my first and I am just starting to get it again this time around (22 weeks). My abs didn't separate with the first and everything was normal. I just attributed it to stretch pains? And the stronger muscles definitely work to an advantage in labor, so even if it feels a...
