    Average Weight Gain

    Oh! I meant to add in. That the build and height of your body makes a difference also. I am short (5'3") and you can really tell I am pregnant! However, a close friend of mine gained almost 70lbs (she is 5'7") and the week after her pregnancy she was wearing her pre-preggers clothes! Mel

    Mommas to Be-Week of Nov. 8th Check-In

    Hey Jen, I have found w/spin class, I am at the point where it is uncomfortable to lean to far over (belly and back), I just make sure the handlebars are up fairly high. For me it is a great workout b/c I can adjust the tension depending on how I am feeling and no bouncing. For a while I...

    3rd m/c...we're done

    Bethany, I am so sorry for yet another M/C. I wish I had some good advice on where to go from here. I can only suggest you get a referral to a fertility specialist vs RE. I will pray that God will give you peace and comfort. I am sure you are exhausted mentally and physically. Melanie

    Anyone take a break or give up on TTC?

    Hey Bethany, I can not speak from the time off from TTC, however, after 2 miscarriages (I have no kids) I can certainly understand. It is so stressful. There are many days that I wonder if the failed pg's are a sign that we have passed our time to have kids (DH is 40, me 36 in May). But I...

    I guess this pregnancy wasn't meant to be...

    Hey Bethany, I plant to take the progeterone w/the next + pg test. I figure it can't hurt, and I've gotten good feedback in general from others who have tried it. However, my hubby got laid off so we are not TTC yet, plus I just passed my 3 mo. waiting period before TTC. Maybe this spring...
