I'm not terrified of giving birth...

How much weight did you gain? I am 5'4" and was 128 before pregnancy. I've definitely rounded out everywhere and am hoping breastfeeding will help w the bulk. I was active before, but haven't been doing that great later in my pregnancy (34 weeks and I'm slowing down...)

Sweetie, I sincerely hope high school will not be the best years of your life.

Totally with you on the sleeping thing. I'm so freaking tired. Almost fell asleep at work today. Now I'm lying in bed and my hips hurt so bad I have to just keep rolling over!

My midwives told me I can turn down antibiotics, they just have to document that I turned it down

Have you thought about taking a birth class? I was terrified of pregnancy and labor before I got pregnant bc I was ignorant. Once I got pregnant I thought, ok this is real, what is the best option for me and baby? I decided for me a natural birth in a birth center w midwives was best. But even if you decide to go w a hospital birth w an OB taking a class is still a good idea. Im not scared. I know it'll be hard work. But I am honestly so excited! There's no reason to be afraid. Our bodies are literally made to do this:) I believe this is my body, my birth, my baby, and I need to take charge of my own health. good luck mama!

Did you stay with your husband? Did you ever tell him?

I'm so sorry I can't even imagine what you're going through:( I had a little "all day" sickness for a couple weeks and that's about it. Please update us to let us know how you are doing!

I guess it's a risk like eating the food in the grocery. To be honest I don't know much about growing, but I've never heard of people using pesticides. The people I do know that grow do it in their homes and I doubt they would use pesticides and such. It's like growing your own herb garden, and who uses pesticides on their own basil? All I'm saying is I believe it's better than any rx meds. Yes I am so thankful for modern science but I wish more people felt comfortable with natural sources of "medication."

You do if you know the growers... Or grow it yourself.

Wow! Thanks so much for sharing! I hope my birth center birth is as lovely as yours. I get more excited every day:)

Also, pack and plays usually have a little "cradle" space for newborns, at least ours does. If you want one I'd go with that!

Why not both? We are just doing a pack and play for now, no crib or changing table. Also she will probably w sleeping w us at the beginning.

Honestly I'm for it. Weed is natural. It's not processed in a lab or covered with chemicals. You need to do what you need to do. That baby needs calories!

Agreed. But for normal, healthy, single births there is no real need. I honestly got one to check the sex. Bc I'm impatient.

Also, no reason to do pelvic exams either. Often they do them after 36 weeks to measure dilation. I will not be having any exams either.

You do not need ANY scans. People waaaaay over use them. I had one fetal assessment scan at 18, mostly to find out the sex:) If you are healthy there is no reason to have them. Don't feel gyped!

I could not agree more w everyone here. Even if that baby is 10lbs, remember it's not 10 lbs of head!!:) there is no medical reason to induce. Have sex, eat spicy foods, walk, do squats, do some nipple stimulation, get a massage an chiropractic adjustment, get acupuncture. There are a million much safer ways to help induce other than pit or other artificial means. And, as you said, late scans are incredibly unreliable!

Oh, and they check everything w your fetal assessment scan. All the parts of bebe, placenta, cord, cervix.

Stuff will just hurt. Sometimes it hurts when I sneeze. This morning my belly hurt while rolling over.

Haha my SO got a little chunky this winter by eating so much cake w me. He loves cake more than I do, but we kept buying the red velvet cake at Safeway. So. Good.

For a couple months all I wanted was sour candy. Nothing too sweet. That's pretty much passed. I think it's awesome you're quitting smoking. Suck away!:)

I had a pretty good list going on. Why not? It's fun picking out names. Even after you're pregnant you have 10 months to decide. No rush!

That's only in some states. In Alaska, where I live, you must be paid minimum wage plus tips.

I was thinking that too. Maybe reception or retail?
