Guest guest Posted July 10, 2000 Report Share Posted July 10, 2000 Fawn, Congratulations!!! That's wonderful news- sending prayers up and best wishes over your way for a happy, healthy pregnancy. Maybe you are like me- I put on 5 lbs. as soon as i *think* I might be pregnant lol. I tend to gain most of my weight early in the pregnancy, and taper off at the end (actually I tend to lose at the end - I don't know why). Walking is the best exercise in my opinion, and the timing is perfect weatherwise. I wouldn't *diet*, just eat as you normally would (since you are still nursing, thisshould be easy). Congrats again!

Even doubling hte pills, my iron was still low when I gave birth to Rowan and I lost a lot of blood. Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2001 Report Share Posted July 17, 2001 Alissa, Welcome back! I think that it was great that your dh (dear husband) took the time to read the posts and that he maybe has a better understanding of all you emotions you have. Men handle things so differently and after a loss like ours it is hard to remember sometimes that they are hurting too...they just show it so differently...(or in some cases, like my dh, they try not to show anything and just move on, it seems) though they too do remember. There will be good days and bad days for you still but I am glad the group has already helped some. I am telling you, it was the one thing that got me through this horrible nightmare and gave me hope again. I don't think I would of found the courage to ttc (trying to conceive) again if it wasn't for all the support I found here. Some abbreviatons: af- Aunt Flo (your cycle) 2ww- 2 week wait (the time between you ovulate and you cycle should show up...or hopefully NOT!!) O- Ovulate .....ok, someone else has to help....I am drawing a total blank here...getting close to my bedtime. Sorry, Alissa. Take care. --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 Hi Melita, Great news on the blood labs! Your neighbor has a good friend in you! We all know the importance of support in healing ... maybe more than most ... I hope her set-back isn't serious and that she gets back on her and home to the neighborhood where she belongs! I love the character and excitement of the city and know why you choose to live there. When I worked in SF I walked my entire lunch hour, mostly downtown, over to Union Square, etc ... occasionally up to Coit Tower. Love those little steps that sneak up through the hills from one street to the next. But it was also a joy to walk the mtn trails. When it's steep I'm slow as trying to push molasses up hill, but on a relatively flat trail or slight but steady upslope I could walk for over an hour. It was =great= to discover that I haven't lost it all! Something about steep granite cliffs, green forests, and blue lakes that I really don't want to lose for a long time. Schlepped firewood across the lot to stack without much trouble, but if I'd had to climb even one step it would have been a major struggle. What a wierd disease this is!
