  • P.s. I will be 36 wks tomorrow....almost there.
  • @novmthumper11 / @t_rogers / @Islandgirl / read above. @kingsmama thanks for the tip.;)
  • OK so we just moved out of state (yes its a crazy time to move but opportunities were screaming at us both) and so I am with new care providers. I found an amazing birthing center with very knowledgeable midwives. The midwife I'm working with knows …
  • Islandgirl sorry to hear that. Is this your first pregnancy? How is it going so far?
  • Sorry it took so long to respond....have lots going on. @ novmthumper11 I couldn't say for sure, you would have to ask your doctor to test you for it. It's a simple blood test. Although I can say if you carried a healthy baby to term, and had no tr…
  • Do you think they are just lying so they could surprise you? My friends did that to me.... if not then I agree that you could see about having someone else throw you a separate shower. People do that all the time. As for you being nervous, I underst…
  • That is happening to me too! I'm 34 wks 5 days. I have felt nauseous for 2 weeks now and go through ups and downs with wanting to eat. I thought it was because I'm a little bound up so I took a stool softener but it didn't help. I started to think …
  • That happened to me for like a week straight. Doc said it is common. I used a humidifier and it went away...
  • We all do....its in our nature to worry. We are preparing to take care and nurture this precious little gift. But what we have to remember is baby feels every edition we feel so if we stress it can put a strain on baby. We just have to do our best t…
  • It could be stress....dads feel the stress too but they tend to show it in different ways. Try to ignore him. I know its not easy. As for the sickness, have you tried ginger? I made a pitcher of my favorite ginger cooler and it helped tremendously.…
  • Pregnancy symptoms are a good thing. Sounds weird, I know, but all my pregnancies I never really felt pregnant. This one is my first healthy pregnancy and I have gotten all the symptoms to go with it! Lol. It means your body and baby are moving alon…
  • I can't say I have gone through what you are going through but what I can say is you need to find comfort in the people you DO have around you....even if it is from this site. And of course the biggest comfort should be God. You are blessed with a g…
  • Awesome!! Congratulations!!!
  • p.s. I have tried many of their products and have been completely happy with everything. I wish someone had told me about their site sooner cuz I was already about 1/2 way before I knew and I could have used that morning sickness tea! Lol.
  • All you can do is do your best to take care of yourself and leave the rest to God. Eat well, drink lots of water, take your vitamins, and just relax. Stressing over it is NO good for you and baby. I know it is easier said then done....trust me, I do…
  • Go to EarthMamaAngelBaby.com they sell an organic, pregnancy safe tea that works amazingly well for heartburn. That used to happen to me to so I bought the tea. They also sell a good tea called peaceful mama that works great for nights when you can…
  • Ashly, there may be a reason you are getting yours done so early....either history, or you are showing signs and symptoms. I'd ask the doctor. It could also just be your doctors common practice to test this early. As for the test itself, the 1 hour …
  • If you want a holistic approach (I always try to go natural first....) There is something that is safe during pregnancy....I have already taken it once, as has many of my friends when they were pregnant, and my taoist recommended it to me. Even my…

  • Decaf coffee still has a small amount of caffeine in it....Caffeine can cause side effects to include miscarriage and problems for baby. I suggest staying away from coffee....if you absolutely have to, then 1 cup of decaf every few weeks just to ke…
  • My mother takes in medically fragile children to foster and recently adopted one of them that has TOF. If you'd like, you can reach out to her....she could be a great support system for you and know's a lot of support groups and has tons of informa…
  • There are different types of iron (heme iron and non-heme iron)....iron that comes from animal products is heme iron and iron that comes from dark leafy greens, beans, etc... is non-heme iron. They are both absorbed differently. Heme iron is bette…
  • Here is a good site to check out. I found it very informative and one of the few sites that were easy to read and understand.... http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/full/111/19/e289
  • Here is a good link to check out....it gives a lot of detail on how MTHFR can effect you and your baby.... http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/full/111/19/e289
  • First off, start taking a folic acid supplement with a vitamin B complex along side of your prenatal vitamins. It won't hurt even if your results come out negative. Next, call your OBGYN and ask them to test you for MTHFR. If they won't, find a doct…
  • Our bodies are made to endure these things. I'm planning on a 100% natural birth. Kit know that yes, it will hurt, but the pain doesn't last forever and the reward you get is amazing. Look into different techniques that can naturally ease your pain …
  • I live in Tampa as well. To answer your question, the very first thing you need to do is go to cvs and get a prenatal vitamin supplement as well as an extra folic acid that contains B vitamin. Start on that immediately. Then go to the local clinic.…
  • It's going to be different for everyone. Some people won't hear it until 14 weeks. Position is 1 reason but there are several factors. Plus, is it possible you aren't as far along as you might have thought?
  • It is important to see your doctor to take care of that right away. A UTI infection can cause complications in pregnancy because the bacteria can travel to baby. My friend was prone to them with both her babies. Doc told her how serious it is and sa…
