Also, another little thing I found while reading is "Even starting in the 30th week of pregnancy, studies have shown women can have positive effects on their baby by adding fish to their diet." They were talking about fish oil, fish, ect...
 
Do you ladies want me to make a list of what my books say are the best foods for our trimester? I can do that over the next day or so with what each helps with. Only if there is interest though, lol. I'm too lazy if no one is going to use the info, rofl.
 
Id certainly like the info, but dont do it just for me Whitt :)

Also, I dont eat meat, fish, etc, so....thats why I was wondering about the DHA. But Ive already read that some DHA supplements can have rosemary extract in them , which is apparently a no-no :shrug:

Want- if I start taking it now....do you think itll do any good? I feel terrible, like Ive already messed up my poor babys brain :(
 
My doctor told me there is no need to take anything other than a prenatal as long as I'm eating well. You can get dha from plenty of veg sources too, you are already probably getting plenty :)
 
Off topic but I found out today a woman I went to high school with faked having twins.She was pregnant(with one) and lost the baby at 3 months.She then told everyone at 27 weeks they found another baby.She has stolen pics up on fb and they even decorated a nursery,had a baby shower,and maternity photos.Shes MIA now..I know everyone deals with grief differently but that doesn't seem normal.I feel stupid for falling for it.Her family now has to pay back everyone for the gifts.
 
Luna, that's the problem for me. I don't eat well. I try and try, but just can't. So, I take supplements.

Platinum, that's horrid.


Missjenn, I concur with that prediction. Then it will be you.
 
Platinum: So she wasn't pregnant at all during the baby shower?

MissJenn: lol. I'm trying to keep these babies cooking. The Doctor has me at 28wks today which is a milestone in itself because if the babies are born this week, they have a 90% survival rate now. But I want to keep them in for at least another month. I'm starting to get used to this hospital bed rest thing :)
 
For you ladies that hate supplements, I have to take two big calcium supplements a day, along with iron, folic acid, stool softener, and a prenatal supplement. Then I'm taking medication to lower my blood pressure every 6hrs. You guys are lucky you only have to take the prenatal vitamin.

No she wasn't.She is overweight so no one questioned it(sounds harsh)
 
Yup! It's crazy how convincing it all was.I mean she even had statuses about being dilated and going to the hospital.She had everyone fooled until they started piecing it together.
 
Rockin: I think you should go for it. I bet you are getting plenty in your diet too, but your body will excrete what it doesn't need. Just like multivitamins.

Platinum: that's just plain sad. I would be devastated if I lost our LO, but I would definitely deal with it differently. I feel like that prolongs the grief! Poor girl. I hope she gets help.

Mama: you are a trooper. You have a such a good attitude. I think that will help make the next month move by quick. You got this girl! I rooting for you or one more month!
 
Rockin, I'll make that list for you by the end of this weekend. I'm not feeling too well today. I'm not sure if it's the heat/humidity or what, especially since I have the room AC on all the time, but I got a real bad migraine last night and I woke up with a headache today. And everything hurts. I might be on my way to a flare up of my FM. God I hope not. The last one I had was in first trimester. I was hoping to escape another during the pregnancy. Oh well. As long as baby remains safe, I'll go through anything.

What Want said....girl you are a trooper and you have such a great attitude with everything that is going on! I hope those babies cook for a few more weeks but I still want you to be the first because you certainly deserve it!
 
Awww Thanks :) I'm trying to be a trooper. Right now, this is like a vacation from home for me because now DH has to do everything, ha ha. I sent him coupon shopping yesterday along with other errands, and I was shocked that he did pretty good. It's like 100 degrees outside, so I'm happy I don't have to deal with that weather. I got kind of upset with this hospital yesterday because somebody stole my turkey sandwich out of the nurse's fridge, and then the cafeteria forgot to bring up my late night snack (peanut butter/jelly sandwich). They should know not to mess with a pregnant woman's food. Grrrr

I hope everybody is having a good weekend and relaxing. I was reading online that a woman who was 8 months pregnant ran a marathon. WHAT? Can you guys imagine running a marathon at 8 months, let alone walk a marathon? I sure can't. The woman went into labor right afterwards and gave birth to a healthy baby. I guess she was given the okay by her Doctor to run because she has always been a marathon runner. Hmmm kind of weird.
 
I can't even handle walking from my car to a store's doors. I'd make it 25 feet then be done with that marathon. Crazy what some women can do when pregnant.
 
I'd totally still be running if it wasn't for my hip/ass pain. That woman was a serious marathoner. Lots of serious runners keep going until they deliver. There's a woman in my Lamaze that's due in October and she runs still. She looks great too... All belly!

I'm jealous... Walking hurts me but i do it anyway. Did 5 miles today... It was nasty hot too!
 
My pet peeve is lunch stealers!!!!!!!!! When my sister was in the hospital for three months her stuff got taken all the time...grrrrrrrrrr!

I still walk 3.3 km's every day...but a marathon....holy frig...I already almost go into labor after my walk....haha!
 
You guys are good cause I can barely walk from my hospital bed to the bathroom without being out of breath. But if you can still do daily walks, keep it up cause it will definitely be beneficial once you go into labor.
