Hi everyone. I remember seeing a post here about vegan protein sources, but I didn't have luck finding it. I am trying not to overdo the soy since I'm pregnant but it's hard to get protein otherwise. I mean, there's only so much rice and beans you can eat every day! I remember reading...

Hello all. For those of you who have been though a pregnancy, I was wondering if you could share your pg and post-pg fitness experiences. As I huffed and puffed today on a puny 4-inch step and lifted little baby weights, I thought about how good it will feel someday to really push myself...

Thanks for asking! Now please bear with me as I gripe--if you hate a whiner--skip this post! My nausea is subsiding, and for that I am grateful, but cosmetically, pregnancy is a nightmare. x( I used to color my hair with a semi-permanent rinse monthly to cover grays and make it shiny. But my...

I'm due on November 24--Thanksgiving!!!

Thanks for all the feedback. I suspected that there'd be some sort of bodily signal (in the form of discomfort) if it's a problem. Just seems like if there weren't some cue to get you to change positions, this would be a huge problem for lots of people since we can't control what we do when...

Hi all. I am trying really hard to sleep on my side, but I can't do it. I position myself that way and even put the recommended pillow between my knees before I fall asleep. Inevitably, I wake up on my back. I dutifully re-position myself, and fall back asleep. Of course, I wake up a few...

Right now DH is making goofy suggestions like "How >about Bubba?" and while watching CSI/Miami "Why don't we name >the kid Horatio?" This will be much harder than naming the >dogs! > > That is something MY DH would say! He suggests names like "Jonesy" and "Shaquille."

Thanks Autumn! Although practically it makes no difference, I want this dang first trimester to be over! So I will accept the earlier estimates and celebrate tomorrow.

Along similar lines, when does the first trimester end? At the end of the 12th week? The end of the 13th? The 13th week plus 2.333 days?

Samuel and Madeleine are first choices (not sure yet about spelling). But one of my dearest friends had a baby yesterday and guess what, it's Sam! I yelped when I saw the name! We live in different parts of the country, but I still feel like I can't use the name now. Dang.

Ugh. Don't remind me. When I found out I was pg I loaded up on all sorts of fruits and veggies. Such good intentions....Then the nausea hit and I had to eat constantly (sounds counterintuitive but it was the only thing that worked). And it wasn't carrots and yogurts I was constantly eating...

I hate them. They make me feel so weird and anxious in my gut. But I do them anyway, although it seems silly since I have still have such a long way to go.

Hi everyone! About 5 weeks ago, I asked when everyone started having ms. Now I want to know when you started feeling better! I have actually been pretty lucky (no puking) but I feel like I am carsick all the time. It makes it hard to get work done and to exercise. I am ten weeks today and I...

I'm 5'8", but it's all in my legs (which sounds great until you consider what that means for my ridiculously short waist!). I know Old Navy and Gap have talls, and I emailed Belly Basics about their inseams but haven't heard yet. I am so annoyed that men's clothes are based on waist and length...

Hi everyone. I am thinking ahead to when I will need to expand my wardrobe. What are your favorite places to shop for maternity clothes? I am relieved that old navy and gap now sell them, esp since they sell pants with long inseams. I just want clothes that look like what I wear when I'm not...

I realize how silly that question sounds, but I honestly don't know what consitutes "showing." At eight weeks, my jeans are snug, and I can no longer make a flat stomach by tightening my abs (I never had a flat stomach, but I could always fake it). My waist seems thicker too. Does showing...

I certainly don't think they "owe" us a discount or anything! It's not a complaint about them not being generous or nice to us or anything like that. But purely from a business perspective, I bet they'd offer it if they thought it would improve sales. So if it WOULD be something that would...
