Amber --- So very sorry for your loss! I have been there and had two miscarriages (one single and one w/twins). I know it is so hard to go through. Like Bethany, the doctors never found a reason for the losses. I also was on a baby aspirin and my last pregnancy stuck around. Just...

Congratulations Amber!!! : ) Melanie

Amber -- so sorry for your friend, that is heart breaking, I just can't imagine loosing my boy. On another note -- back when my brother and I came around (70's) we were put to sleep on our tummies. Funny how times change ; ) Melanie

Winter -- I am 37 and already feel like we need to start planning whether or not to plan for a 2nd. I would like two but we will have to have the second fairly quickly. Likely start trying after 9 months -- my ob/gyn said to wait 9 mo after my C/S. It will be a hard decision b/c I love the...

Well I was not w/your group but I did follow along.... Amber, Your girl is so very cute! Sorry about the miscarriage, I understand as I had two back in 2009. Hang in there, it does get better with time. Winter, Your little one is so cute also : ) Good luck w/traveling, I can't imagine...

I am in the same boat! My son will be 3 months old later this week. I only get one or two workouts in a week. I go back to work in 2 wks and I know it will not be any easier. I am down to my pre-pregnancy weight, but I am still a size larger and skin is still loose. It's a bit depressing...

That is wonderful Bethany! Breastfeeding is so much easier. Once I made it past the 3 -4 week mark, I have not had any problems. Unfortunately, I return to work 6/17 : ( I am dreading it, but ready to get into a regular routine. Evan will be in daycare part time and I will be...

Bethany, First of all, I am thrilled for your pregnancy. I have not seen you here lately, and was hoping all was well. Do you know if you are having a boy or girl? I failed my one hour test by 1 point but I passed the 3 hr test. I hope your testing goes well. It may not be your diet, could...

We have the Bjorn "baby carrier air" and have used it several times, my son is 7 weeks old. He seems to enjoy it and is fairly comfortable for me. I don't have any other carriers to compare. I agree with Liann, he does seem to be bottom heavy, but he doesn't seem to mind. I had originally...

Thank you everyone for your sweet comments for baby Evan I can't believe he will be one month old tomorrow!! Wastewitch -- thanks for the encouragement! Breast feeding is getting better, for the most part. My only problem is I have enough milk for him feeding, but not enough to build a...

Meet Evan!

Hey ya! Due to my hypertension (PIH not preeclampsia) we went in for induction on 3/1. After 24 hours of labor, Evan was born by c-section on 3/3 at 1234 am at 7 lbs 4 oz! He is so precious and super cute. We are blessed to have him in our lives. Breast feeding is a challenge having to use...

Hi Jen, Glad you are getting relief with the band! This is our first, we are going to name him Evan Michael : ) Have a wonderful weekend. Mel

Well, I have been on modified bed rest since last Friday d/t elevated BP > 150/80 Going to OB twice a week for non stress test, urine check, all good, baby is doing great. Not preeclampsia, just hypertension. The BP's keep going up now 150-170/90-100's, I will be at 37 weeks on Friday...

So funny, I was going to post today!! Great minds.... Jen, I cannot believe how sick you have been this pg! You are like a cold magnet. It must be so hard to wait to find out the sex of the baby! I have to hand it to ya : ) I hear you about the workouts, they have been very sporadic at...

Jen -- I hope you are starting to feel better! Kudos to you for not finding out. I am not that patient : ) Reena -- So glad to see you on the msg boards. Girl, you are doing better than me on the workouts. Keep up the good work! Also, congrat's on the girl : ) The glucose test is not...

Just a quick pop in to say Hello to Reena and congratulations!! I remember posting w/you a year ago on the TTC boards. Melanie

Winter, This is my first pregnancy but I think I would go w/C/S. Also, I am a NP in the inpatient setting. I would suggest that you get up and moving around early (when you are cleared by staff), this will reduce the risk of DVT (clot). DVT's happen, but more so (higher risk) for patients who...

Hey there fellow preggers out there! Just a quick hello and check in.... I ended up having to complete the 3 hour glucose test and passed : ) I am 30 wks along now and start having OB appts every other week now starting Friday. Feeling really good, except for only a bit of fatigue. I am...

Hey Timber - getting in 6 workouts is awesome! These days (I am 28wks) I count cleaning day as a workout day b/c I have a lot of back pain afterward. We are also snowed in, well it is better now. I had been going to the YMCA but this week I have been doing Cathe workouts at home. Yesterday I...
