    I am 5 weeks pregnant with my second child. I just found out a week ago. YEAH! As much as I am thrilled, I am also nervous about the weight gain because I gained 56 pounds with my first and I am still holding on to 12 pounds that I never lost (I am currently […]

    I am 12 weeks pregnant with my second child. I am nauseated all day even until I go to bed. I have vomited some, but mostly just nauseated. And my sense of smell is the main reason. Everything I smell makes me sick. Everyone tells me that I am going to have a boy because […]

    I am asking on behalf of my daughter (who is too sick to read the computer). She has morning sickness all day and actually has the medicine from the doctor that could/should help manage anti-nausea. The one time she took it, she threw it up. Any suggestions? 29 posts – 1 participant Read full topic

    My sister is pregnant with her first and is due 2/10/10 – recently her belly has been itching excruciatingly. I would like to get her something to help with this for Christmas, but she says she's tried a ton of things and nothing helps. I didn't have this issue so I am wondering what other […]

    I was jogging and doing the P90X DVD's before I got pregnant. When my morning sickness hit at week 5 I stopped working out b/c I felt so awful. Is it safe to start up again when the morning sickness passes? I am at week 9 now and starting to feel better and I think […]

    Hi Ladies, While not pregnant I would take Zinc and other additional supplements to support my immune system when I felt a cold starting but the doctors say you can't do these things while pregnant. Is there a product anyone knows about that is safe to boost immunity? Everyone in my house is sick and […]

    I think I have a yeast infection and I am in my second trimester. My midwife prescribed me a topical cream, but I am scared that it will harm the baby. I tend to try to use natural remedies where possible. I have been taking (since symptoms started) a probiotic. I tried using garlic, and […]

    Hi all! I had my first prenatal visit to the doc, and he asked me if I was taking any prenatal vitamins. I said yes, an over-the-counter one (Naturemade Multi). In addition to it, I take the Mighty Red Krill Oil pills. He then said he'd give me samples of some prescription ones instead, and […]
