Hah, I used your 'fartsack' term last night. :P My husband works graveyard and didn't come home until 1:00 AM where I had dinner cooked and ready for him, as usual, then waited for him to start yawning and suggested to 'retire to the 'ole fartsack.' Oh, you should have seen the look on his face. XD
Pregnancy & Parenting	33 Weeks Pregnant and Having Trouble Eating/Drinking	Mar 17 2009 02:11 (UTC)	5
Original Post by escalina: Hi Guys! :) I just have a quick question for you. I haven't been using a doctor since about five months pregnant because of medical bills and the limited income with this damned economy, so I just want to ask a question. I do realize we're not doctor's and I won't take anything too seriously, so please don't be too worried about me asking for advice instead of from a professional. :) I'm a nurse so I can kinda put things together, I'm just stuck on this one. For the last two days I've had trouble eating or drinking, because I get bad cramps in my stomach. It's not low, like baby low, but up in my own stomach. From cold ice tea to hot soup, everything either cramps up really tight or aches for hours. Yesterday I made myself get food down, since I am pregnant, and just went to bed so the cramps would go away but I gained over a pound alone last night. I went out on my bike today but that gave me leg cramps, lol, so, of course, I stopped. Today I've only gotten down 270 calories but made sure to get down 64 ounces of water and green tea so I don't become hydrated. I used to have this problem once and I had to take a combonation of muscle relaxers, pills, and antispazmatics, also pills, that are not pregnancy safe. They've just been sitting in my cabinet for over eight months. Can anyone besides me maybe think of some soothing foods I could get down? :) My baby needs more nutrition then 270 calories, definitely. UPDATE: From dinner I was able to get down some more. I got down a total of 575 calories today. I guess that's better then 270 for the day.. :/
Pregnancy & Parenting	Baby weight: how long did it take YOU?	Mar 17 2009 00:14 (UTC)	10
You guys are making me feel horrible. xD I've gained 65 with my pregnancy and only 33 weeks. Lol. Hopefully I can get rid of it before the end of summer, with baby due May 3rd, but hearing the stories or anywhere from a month to six months doesn't sound so awesome. Lol. Your body will normally plateau when loosing weight above like thirty pounds, I was told. My diet does it very often, just give yourself a week or two more, and if you don't loose anything, then maybe you should look at what you are eating and doing. :) Don't worry if you can't loose sixty pounds in five or six weeks, hon.

Try this on for size. I'm 5'6'', nineteen, and weigh 253 pounds. I've lost ten from my original weight of 263 pounds. Kind of a waste of effort, huh?

You think you're hungry now? :P I'm 33 weeks and just can't keep my hands off of things. What I did was go and get a can of tuna with like 150 calories in it, drain it, and add some egg or celery. :) It's very low fattening and makes an awesome little snack. If you're having cravings yet, I have a recipe for fruit Angel Food Cupcakes with only 73 calories in each one. If you want, I can hand it over. I got it from someone else on this site.

Do you know how many women/men just fell in love with you for this? :P Awesome job, hon! I love cooking sweets and now it looks like I might be able to eat one or two. :) Thanks so much.
Motivation	I want ice cream.....HELP!!!!!	Mar 13 2009 04:08 (UTC)	6
Just throw the other half of the sandwich away. If you CAN'T eat it, how're you going to eat it? I do that with meals, I'll make hamburgers, eat a little bit and force myself to throw the other half or so away so I can't have the craving. It's gone and that's it.
