Last week while on vacation we spent alot of time walking which was the most active I have been since around 20weeks when I concluded the dance season. I def felt the effects of walking so much but in some ways it felt good to be active and seemed to be a step toward being ready for labor. My last labor was 21.5 hours so i am hoping to shorten that up a bit this time!
What have ya'll done to be active and have you done that the whole pregnancy or just started recently? I'm looking for something I can do (possibly with DS-3) to stay active and get my body prepared for labor.View Thread


Don't get me wrong knowing that I have a little man growing inside me is the most amazing thing in the world but it really isnt all peaches and cream.
This pregnancy has been miserable. This is #2 for me and with DS1 i had a total of 4 stretch marks when he was delivered & with this one I feel like the whole bottom of my belly is covered with them - eww... I have had some mild acid reflux this time so eating or drinking before laying down is a complete no-no, which sucks when you are anemic and want to chew a whole cup of ice before bed every night.... Also a result of being anemic, I have been put on Iron supplements which have helped with the dizziness but omg I have never been constipated before in my life and it sucks(TMI)!!!!... The heat has made it impossible for me to play outside with energetic DS1 (3). So although I am being lazier this time around, I feel like this little man takes up all the room and half the time if we eat out i get a kids meal and struggle to get that eaten.
I love this LO to pieces and will do everything to make sure he is healthy but I am seriously ready to get my body, my energy, and my appetite back...
I'm sure there are other gripes but I wont get into them right now, instead I will give someone else a turn!
The final count down is on and I have 32 days until EDD

This pregnancy has been so much more uncomfortable than the last and I am ready to hold this little guy in my arms, get my body and my energy back! I feel like such a lazy mom lately because DS and I have spent most of the summer in the house away from the smoldering heat!...View Thread

For some I have found that potty training is easier when they have an older sibling to watch and learn from, but every child and situation is different.
Before you decide to try again make sure that not only you but your family and situation is ready!... Get moved so you don't have that to worry about & decide whether you will need to pay for daycare and how much you can afford to put towards that... and if you plan to stay home, are you ready to have 3 LOs (or more if u have twins by chance)... and always remember every child is different, if your girls play well together or were easy to potty train or have good sleeping habits that doesn't mean the next LO will be as easy!...
I don't mean to discourage you just figure out how much you can handle at once before you decide and end up completely exhausted/stressed!

Good luck and honestly do whatever you feel is right!!!View Thread
