pregnancy

I just found out I am pregnant with (assuming all goes well) my third child. I already have a boy and a girl who would be 4 and 2.5 when this one is born. This baby was planned and wanted but I’m still freaking out a bit. Three under 5 won’t be…easy…I imagine. We are very fortunate to have...

I just confirmed my pregnancy at my OB. I’m 4w4d. I started Pilates randomly last July, and just committed to a studio in January. I’ve been going 3-5x a week since I joined my studio and already noticing a difference in my strength and appearance! I was even considering starting my...

Just found out I am pregnant again this morning. It’s not unexpected, it’s wanted, and I was so overjoyed! Then I thought about going from family of 4 to 5, the money we’d need, car upgrade etc. obviously we discussed it before we “threw caution to the wind” and decided we’d be ok, but it’s a...

Any suggestions for where to look for an inexpensive coat to get me through this winter? I’m currently 23 weeks and live in the northeast, so I definitely need to get something more bump-friendly so I can continue going on walks and spending time outside as I get bigger through the winter! My...

Hi everyone, I’m feeling a little hurt over something my partner said. He unapologetically eats a lot, or so it seems. And farts more than anyone I’ve ever known, seriously. He’s not fat, just a little belly. I’m 4’11 and was right at 100lbs before getting pregnant. I’ve gained 10 lbs and am in...

I have gone through my entire pregnancy with minimal symptoms currently 24+4 days. I had a little bit of morning sickness at the end of the first trimester, but it only lasted about 2-3 weeks. Since that has gone away, I had a tough time truly believing since I wasn’t showing due to my...

Has anyone experienced this? Idk if I am just working hard or if I may be doing something wrong?

I am a FTM and asked my doctor about a C section. She flat out refused. She said they will do a C section only if the baby is breech or if I have any health complications towards the end. I thought C-sections were elective? I told her I am scared of a vaginal delivery and can't deal with that...

I just wanted to share my birth story in hopes of helping out any expecting mamas out there that might be anxious or worried about working out during pregnancy. I delivered my baby girl 3.5 weeks ago via a non-complicated vaginal delivery with zero tearing. The worst part of labor were the...

Hello everyone. I’m currently 5w3d pregnant, I’m definitely plus size weighing around 260lbs. this is my first pregnancy and I’m absolutely terrified off of reading horror stories about how much obese women get treat differently, I have been trying to live a healthier lifestyle and diet more...

I’m 7 weeks post partum and I just hate the way I look, I know I’m only 7 weeks pp but I actually cry when I look in the mirror. I was mostly on the chubby side throughout my life but before I got pregnant I had finally started getting to my goal weight which was 140. It’s a healthy weight for...

Hello there! I dont know if this is the right place to ask because I am 8 months PP, but I wanted to ask here just in case ^^ I was very lucky to have a really good recovery after giving birth to my twins, even my old pants fit, since 3 months PP I have tried to workout 3-4 times a week but I...

Everywhere I look there are lists for what is needed when the baby comes. But i was wondering if there are suggested things for the baby’s room that people suggest or that is easily forgotten as we plan for the bottles and cute clothes. Or any other pieces of advice for things they don’t tell...

This is my first pregnancy and I have the triple whammy of prediabetes (diagnosed a few weeks before conception) advanced maternal age (39) and high BMI (51). I’m 9 weeks and had an appointment with a nurse practitioner today where I got a lot of information and scheduled the next few months of...

Hi all, I am 8 weeks along and set to run a marathon in 3 weeks. I have been training since November (55-65 MPW) Previous to pregnancy, I could easily run 8 minute miles on my 18 mile long runs. The past month or so, I am struggling to even finish a 10 mile run and my mile times are 10-11...

Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. I had my misscarriage on December 22nd so it has been a little over two weeks since. My misscarriage lasted from the 22nd until the 25th. My husband and I decided that we wanted to try after my bleeding stopped. So we had intercourse the 26th and...

I used to be an XS top and S bottom. During my pregnancy I’ve bought both S/M/L tops and M/L/XL bottoms. It’s kind of crazy how much my body’s changed but I’m kind of sad even my loosest pre-pregnancy favorites don’t fit the current me. There’s a lot of discussion on weight but I’m wondering if...

Hello! I’m due with my fourth in January. We either purged or lost most of our baby gear when we moved and when we unexpectedly had a house flood. What would you say are must haves for baby gear when you have four children? Children will be 7, 6, and 2 when baby comes along. We have a pack...

Anyone still cycling to commute? I am 19 w have a cycle lane almost all the way to work (4 miles). I have a road bike so I think the position will start to get uncomfortable soon. I am really keen to keep going for as long as possible as it is amazing for my mental health and de-stressing...

Some background(sorry it’s a little long), I’m currently 34+2 with what will be my third delivery in just under 37 months (July ‘17, July ‘19, due late Aug, early Sept). Before my son was born in ‘17 I was light but not necessarily fit (25, 5’ 4”, 115lb and rarely worked out), I gained at least...
