What are you trying to do to lose weight? I gained 65 pounds with Ariana. When i finished breastfeeding, i went on the Atkins Diet. I lost 75 pounds in 3 1/2 months but I don't really recommend that diet to anyone else anymore. I tried it for a second time about a year ago and it made me very sick.

I like weight watchers! Have you tried them?

Magnolia,

I am trying to lose weight period right now,

for some reason after the baby I gained ALOT really quickly.

During my pregnancy I actually lost weight by being on the strict diabetic diet, but it was SO hard, I missed milk and fruits etc.

I had my thyroid checked....normal damnit!

I am hoping if I just lose weight in general my blood sugars will come down.

I know that after having gestational though my odds are at 60% of getting type 2 and it seems I'm well on my way

You know what's helping me with my morning sickness now? I bought this:

http://www.pregnancystore.com/morning_sickness_magic.htm

It took about 4 days to kick in but it works! I add a little extra vitamin b-6 though. My doctor told me that I can also take 1/2 Unisom tablet and vitamin b-6 (up to 200 mg per day). You can read more about that here:

http://health.msn.com/encyclopedia/healtht...entid=100077440

The Unisom and Vitamin b-6 combo is safe! talk to your DR about it because women shouldn't have to suffer like this. I hope you feel better soon. I have had morning sickness for about 7 weeks now but like i said, it is really tapering off from these supplements. I still have issues eating though - I have to eat what my body craves. If i were to just go and cook something that I really didn't want, I would get sick trying to eat it. I have been eating whoppers from BK for an entire week now! LOL ... Only thing my body will accept. My favorite food is spaghetti. I cooked some the night before last and OMG, I nearly threw it up. Other than that, I am feeling much, much better!

Also, don't let your body get tired. If you become overly tired, morning sickness can flare up. i used to be a night person but since my daughter goes to school in the morning and I gotta get up at 7am, i am now in bed every night by 8 or 9. If i stay up past that, i wake up sick.

You can add me to the club . Morning sickness is a killer. I love all the pictures on this site so lovely. Im off to rest feeling so tired. Congrats to everyone else and all the best.

One more thing, if you can't eat much, you can try some of these foods - they don't upset the stomach:

Safe Foods To Eat When You Can't Eat Anything

* White breads (such as French or sourdough), not whole wheat or multi-grain

* Toasted plain bagels

* Toasted plain English muffins

* Cream of Rice cereal

* Pretzels (salted or unsalted)

* Fat-free Saltines

* Fat-free fortune cookies

* Plain baked potatoes (without the skin)

* Plain white rice

* Arrowroot crackers

* Cold fat-free cereal such as Corn Chex, Kix, Rice Chex, Rice Krispies, Honeycomb, or Corn Pops, eaten dry. At all costs avoid bran, granola, and whole wheat choices, as well as cereals with raisins, other dried fruits, or nuts

* Homemade dried or fresh bananas

* Plain cooked pasta (not egg), sprinkled with a little salt

* Lots and lots of strong hot peppermint, fennel, chamomile, or ginger tea

Breastfeeding really helped me drop all the weight. I gained about 50 lbs during my pregnancy and I'm now about two lbs away from the pre preggo weight. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

BIG SIGH!!!

I feel like I have been pregnant for friggin EVER!!

Twice been to the hospital for false labor...but they were regular contractions

I have tried primrose oil, blue cohosh tea (yuk), laundry, and walking....

I am 2cm though, but with back aches, insomnia, night sweats, and heartburn.

I went to Scalini's Italian Restaurant...they have this supposed eggplant parmigiana meal or whatever

that has a claim to induce labor in 9th month desperate pregnosaurus women like myself. It's supposed to

start labor in no later that 48 hrs....we'll see!!! Why does it seem like boys are more stubborn than girls inutero?

current mood: desperate but hopeful

Oh, and Congrats to all the new moms to be.

Belwin-congrats! I hope your morning sickness isn't too bad. I had it until about 16 weeks. But once it's gone it's much better!

So if everything goes as planned we should find out the baby's gender on September 14th! I'm excited.

I was told to run up and down the stairs for like 15 minutes. i did it and went into labor at 2am that same night! LOL

I ran stairs, drove bumpy roads, had sex, drank raspberry leaf tea and ate some eggplant. I was induced at 41 weeks. Doesn't always work. Baby is ready when it's ready. Good luck.

My due date was the 19th of February and my water broke on the 11th. I wasn't ready at all! But the baby was. I agree with Eveline...

Eman is learning how to pull himself around and get into trouble. Anyone else dealing with this? He scared himself the other day. We have this piggybank on and he managed to get himself near it. He pulled it and the thing turned over making a loud noise because of the coins inside. The poor dear got startled and started to cry. Now everytime he sees it he starts pouting. Too cute!

I am trying to post his pics but am failing.

[chri'stina 190]

Nizzy, are you using photobucket or similar? Or uploading?

I am trying to upload but the screen just goes white. What is this photobucket in which you speak of?

Stina: I know you are growing anxious until the 14th! lol I was counting the days down...I always say that IF I have another baby I won't find out the gender. I want to be surprised this time! Hope hubby doesn't read this because I told him we are absolutely not having anymore! lol

Yeah he's definitely trying to hold on in there. He already has the nickname of spiderman.

I just never thought u can have painful contractions for days, dialating cervix, and no baby.

I will be going to get my water broken if nothing has happened by the 12th. I'll pass on being overdue.

I tried so hard to wait to find the sex of this baby, it was written on an envelope, and given to my hubby who

I overheard on the phone telling what the sex was. I definitely woulda loved the surprise of it all.

My son isn't even walking and he has a limited amount of time he can be restrained in a stroller or shopping cart before his hands go in the air and he starts fussing to be held.
