Severe Pregnancy Back Pain

Hi Mamas! I am 16 weeks pregnant with my second son and I have been experiencing severe back pain since very early on. It actually started out mild around 5 weeks, then moved to moderate a month ago and now it is severe. I still have a long way to go in this pregnancy! My doctor told me at my last visit to stop picking up my 18 month old son and other heavy things. I did that, plus modified my posture and how I move and bend all day long. I don't really do anything that should strain my back and I rest frequently throughout the day. ...

Painful Constipation During Pregnancy

My best friend is pregnant with her second pregnancy. She has been experiencing painful constipation for about five days at a time. When she does go, it's not enough that she feels relief. She consulted her doctor and he suggested OTC anti-constipation medicine, but nothing is working for her. She's been feeling really depressed, with headaches. It's even affecting her work performance, because she can't even focus. Has anyone experience this? If so, what did you do to help?

No Morning Sickness...

Not that I'm complaining, but I'm 7 weeks along and still no sign of morning sickness. I had terrible morning sickness during the 1st trimester of my 1st pregnancy, and it feels strange to feel so healthy right now. Anybody had morning sickness make its debut after 7 weeks? Or might I just be lucky enough not to get it at all?

Pregnancy Weight Gain Out of Control!

My first pregnancy resulted in a weight gain of 55lbs, 25 of which have stuck with me. Toward the end of the pregnancy, I felt like the weight gain was out of control. I'd eat a stick of celery and gain a pound. I accepted that as part of the pregnancy since it was toward the end when I was supposed to be gaining. I am now 6 weeks pregnant with my second child and have already gained 8 lbs. I cut back on calories or eat as normal and GAIN. I have even started walks again- 45 min at a time- and that does no good either. Does anyone...
