I thought I was supposed to be Constipated!

So, I'm not. I thought I was supposed to be when pregnant. Especially nearing the third trimester.

Does anyone know any foods that plug up this problem? I just don't feel like taking any medications.

I'm trying to get motivated. Two years ago I got myself off my fat ass and lost all the weight I have currently put back on. (ya ya I know, I'm supposed to. blah blah blah) I'm just not able to motivate myself to get out of the house to go walking or do yoga, or swimming, or anything else that would be healthy for baby.

I had a goal to be that pregnant woman who ran past me in the 5K Freedom Run in 2008. I have NOT kept up my running and can probably not just begin now.

What motivated you to get out while you were pregnant? What motivates you even if you're not?

Sorry. My ranting is over. Frustration with my lack of excitement is just getting to me.

Sickness Lurking Around

It is officially what my body has to deal with. I have to be sick while pregnant. I have now had the flu TWICE, a head cold TWICE (this always follows the flu), AND I received the Flu Shot this year. I just don't get it.

This is my first pregnancy and I just can't help but be nervous about the sickness. I don't want baby to be sick if I'm sick. Is the baby sick when I'm sick? I don't want the medication to affect the baby. (I don't like to take medication very often anyway) I would go a week with a headache, just to let my body try to fix it itself. (I did do this once) I'm nervous about a healthy baby. My hubby just says that children are resilient and our baby will be just fine.

I hope so.
