    Need your advice . . .

    I took quite a few tests with each pregnancy, everytime it came back negative, shortly after I got my perod and was not pregant. Each time I was pregnant, I tested positive. I used the early pregnancy ones. The waiting game is awful, but unfortunately, the stress of Ttc may have delayed...

    Great job on the weight loss. I found with dd#1 that my tummy had some love handles while I nursed, once my daughter weaned herself at 9 months, my tummy flattened again and I even lost a few pounds. Now with dd#2, I am in my prepreggo clothes, but my lower abs still have a little jiggle. I am...

    What did you feel on the day you found out you were pregnant?

    Hi, The biggest early sign I got was exhaustion, no other early signs. Wait another day, then try testing again.

    Moms - How do you find time?

    My history is similar to Diana's. First I put DD#1 in her swing, then her gymnee, then her pac and play. Now DD#1 is 3 and exercises with me. Don't get me wrong, it is frustrating at times, since she steps on my step, but we work it out in the end. We do best with kickboxing. My second DD is 4...

    Has anyone ever used those morning sickness braclets???

    We have sailboat and I used them on the boat, they did seem to reduce some motion sickness, but not all and I wasn't pregnant at the time. Try your hardest to get foods down like crackers. I had am sickness with #2 but mine was the kind that went away when I ate.
