i like this original post even though its kinda dated..  ive been on the hunt for books or articles specifically focused on exercising during pregnancy & even good exercises to do. 

i quit caffeine before we conceived bc i knew i didnt want to drink it while pregnant & didnt want to struggle w the addiction on top of everything else once i was expecting.  i just bought some naturally decaffinated green tea & also some lemon for tummy aches, both lipton.  i like white teas too but it kind of depends on your taste preferences.  try em out to see which ones you enjoy.  plenty of people continue to consume caffeine throughout pregnancy but personally i chose not to

armandleg: yes my hub is mil too; i plan on gettin out while he plans on retiring.   im not gettin out because of deployments though.  mil to mil families deal with this stuff all the time, its part of the lifestyle.  we dont get tasked for long deployments like the army does typically, and actually my husband's shop even asks who wants to go when they have slots to fill.  if for some reason we were both deployed his family would watch the kid[s] but that wont happen.  i feel ya for havin to go through all that!  military spouse is def one of the harder things to be, and even more so once kids/pregnancies are thrown in the mix.  thank you for your sacrifice as well as your husband's

free stuff.  who wouldnt want that

bummmp

sweet, thanks!

i see, thats a good idea w the two different records depending on what shift im on/what times i wake, also, do you think the quantity or quality of sleep i get would sway the readings? 

when i am on nights i never seem to get as much sleep or sleep quite as well but would still like to record if it wouldnt be misleading...

what do you mean by gyno?

running gets me red for sure.  ive heard its bc i dont breathe right.  i think its just cuz im wkn hard.  i hate it tho!  and it takes forever to go away, like even after ive left the gym & cooled down & feel normal.  my face will still be red.  ugh.

now there are some suggestions i never thought of, thank you.

hmmm well i have an appointment on the 8th and will most likely ask plenty of questions, but ive always had bad periods.  bad to me & bad to you sound like a world apart though.  i CAN function w these horrendous cramps i just really dont WANT to & struggle through it sometimes.  they come & go.  plus bein military i cant not wk as much as i srsly wish i could call in!
