To be honest, when I was pregnant with my 3rd child, ,sm

I developed, around the 7th month, a nesting instinct where I could NOT sit still. I went from a couch potato to cleaning freak. I also began to drink tons of water for the first time and cut my cola consumption in half and then went completely to diet drinks, which I will have 3-4 per week now (no more colas). I found that just moving, piddling around, bending and stooping over picking up toys and clothes A LOT during the day has helped greatly to tighten up my stomach muscles. We live on a hill and I like to walk it 5 or 6 times a day.
The key to my weight loss was not sitting in front of the t.v. for long periods of time. I know that 99% of the people on this website work many hours a week and spend a lot of time sitting down in front of the computer. To you I say, get up, get moving all throughout the day, even if it is just 5 minute intervals at a time. It took me years (4 or 5), to keep my weight down like this, but I'm not a size 6 anymore. I am very comfortable with my weight, but it is the daily disciplines that will help you. Start now. Drink plenty of water, walk, take care of yourself and know that you are worth it!
Oh, one more thing! As soon as I get up in the morning I put my socks and tennis shoes on. Always. This helps me to move around a lot quicker and motivates me to do so much around the house. Good luck. Baby steps.

I think you should be more honest with him.
NM
Be honest with him and
upfront with your feelings. It's not fair to you if there is no attraction and it is not fair to him thinking you are interested. Who knows, a great friendship might evolve. Just be honest with him right away before things get out of hand. Good luck with dating!!
There is an honest way of doing it as well.
H went to a farm sale and they were practically giving away scrap iron. He bought me an exercise bike for $2 and they threw in a bunch of it in with that exercise bike. Someone came by and asked if they can have it for scrap and H gave it to them. A person can find stuff on the side of the road like hub caps, car batteries, copper wire. I saw a mattress laying out on the side to the road as well. H has a lot of scrap in the backyard he needs to take down.
Unfortunately, there are some that make this a dishonest business. It has been rumored that the city has had missing sewer caps. Someone took that down to the scrap yard. Gosh, what people won't do. 
to be honest
I would just stand there with the hose when the were out and bust up the fight. I am totally serious. If you don't want a fence, get 100 foot hose.
Be honest about it. I really don't think it will be as bad
xx
You have to be honest with him, but you do sound a bit. SM
codependent on him. Something to think about. I've been married twice (once for 10 years and to my current husband for 4 years) and you cannot change people. You have to work on things together and try to change things together. I man will never read your mind and do what you want. You have to be very blunt with the male species and tell them what you want and need, but be careful about being too needy as that could be a turn off.
You must love him for who he is.
Good luck! I wish someone would have told me some of this stuff 15 years ago, but I'm in my mid 30s and still learning.
Both fixed and he is gay, honest!
He just does not try to mount, goes further than that. He is my youngest son and I still love him although his brother has to run from him sometimes. He is unlike his big brother, very sensitive, coy, tries to keep his weight down (for the other guys, in case he meets some) and I thought maybe seeing about getting him in some decorating classes.
To be honest, that was 100% lies...or was it? nm
....
My honest opinion...
After learning this, my husband talked to the security office at his job and was advised that he should request our child be transferred to another team b/c it was considered a breach of ethics for my husband to fraternize with an ex-inmate.
Why did your husband run to his job and tell? Did he not want the ex-inmate working with the team or what? What's done is done. Sounds like you'd better switch leagues or build a bridge and get over it. JMO.
To be honest, I think I had cable when my little ones were
--
how about being honest and telling him the truth..sm
imagine how he will react when (and he will) he finds out you have been lying to him. Just tell him. His reaction may be less than when he finds out about a total lie!
HMMM, I would...Be HONEST and pay in full...nm

Here's a compassionate but honest answer
You are *not* in love with him.
Please don't dismiss this: You need counseling to undertand the dynamics here. How could other strangers (on this board) possibly help you with a "relationship" you have developed with another stranger? I belive you are looking for someone to say this is OK, and perhaps even give you hope things will work out. It is not OK, and it is unhealthy.
He is *not* interested in continuing your relationship, or else he would not say "you are strong, you will make it..."
He has made you NO promises at all - and you are hurting yourself if you choose to continue to believe otherwise.
I truly can feel your pain, but you have the power to control it - please consider getting help right away.
Good luck to you.
to be honest...all my posts have been 100% lies -nm

love it. to be honest, I wish we were way back in -
the days where people gave things like a made from scratch pie and the recipe, a promise on a piece of paper, donated hours devoted to a project of your choice, etc., and kids made crafts.
Not being able to post your honest opinon and
experience speaks volumes about the place. The way the economy is and how hard it is to save money for a vacation, I certainly wouldn't want to waste it on a glassy beach and rude employees. TY.
Should say the child found in Florida proved to be the Caylee child, homicide.

Pssttt....locks are for honest people

It is Lent so I am being honest - potty mouth without the kids.....sm
in private, I let RIP at times, it just feels good and releases a lot of tension, and of course right after I say a "forgive me god," which is so hypocritical, but he made me Latin and with a simmering temper, so what else can I say. Never in front of kids, my elders, mainly alone.
This was simply an honest post/poll made by a regular poster.

RE: PREGNANT MT
1) Yes with my daughter.
2) the entire 9 months....
1) not with my sons at all.
Good luck, but try keeping soda crackers with you and eat those and 7-up or bottled water....that does help somewhat. Be sure and let your doc know about it. good luck with your pregnancy!!
You said we got pregnant, you and your
sister, aunt, who was the other female you are speaking about when you said we got pregnant again?
pregnant WE...
I too referred to US being pregnant, not just me...If you're blessed enough to have a supportive and loving partner who takes an active role in the pregnancy, then you both indeed are pregnant...You were blessed twice after your miscarriage...congratulations! 
She is pregnant again.
A savvy female lead my son to believe he could come live with her, and everthing would be paradise. This was when he was 17-years-old. She was pregnant at that time with someone's elses kid. He did not care. He loved her as much as a 17-year old can love. OK fast forward. Now he is just 22. He has had 2 beautiful daughters in the meantime. I think that is enough. Neither one of them are working. I go ever there today on my day off, and he says, "mom there is no easy way to tell you this". She is PREGNANT again. Supposedly she had an IUD, I don't believe that. Either they are both lying or my son is gullible. They both claim she had a 10-year IUD in so it is "mean to be". If they had the finances to support 4 kids, great news. But they don't. I am spending at least 250 a month keeping their utilities on, that does not count food.
How did you first know you were pregnant?
Did you notice certain symptoms before taking a test or going to the doctor? I am just wondering because my period is 2 months late and my breasts are so swollen and ridiculously sore. I am hesitating to take a pregnancy test because we have been trying for almost 2 years and every time I never turn out pregnant. Looking forward to reading your replies. Thanks!
yes and no, I got it when I was pregnant and had hypothyroidism
but it does NOT have to be underlying sign of malignancy, they are just being careful. Sometimes it's just rotten luck.
When I was 7-1/2 mos. pregnant, my hubby and I went as a sm
pregnant nun and a priest.
Has anyone ever been pregnant and had a CT angiogram done? sm
I have a previous history of PE and thought I had another blood clot to my lung. So after a night stay in the hospital, several doctors telling me that I really needed this done, that it could be possibly life-threatening for me and the baby, that I went against my better judgment and had one done with the contrast dye. I am almost 10 weeks pregnant and I know this is a very critical time for the development of my little one. Good news, no blood clot, but I am wishing I would have listened to my own heart and not what everyone else was telling me. They did shield me extremely well. I laid on one lead shield while two huge, thick lead shields were placed directly below my lungs on top of each other. Any input would be helpful and any prayers would greatly be appreciated also. The day before I saw my beautiful baby kicking and acting fiesty on ultrasound. It would kill me knowing that I did something wrong to it.
Ever wonder why pregnant women don't
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Scientists think they have figured out why pregnant women don't lose their balance and topple over despite ever-growing weight up front.
Slight differences in the spine allow women to carry the growing load of pregnancy without toppling over.
Evolution provided slight differences from men in women's lower backs and hip joints, allowing them to adjust their center of gravity, new research shows.
This elegant engineering is seen only in female humans and our immediate ancestors who walked on two feet, but not in chimps and apes, according to a study published in Thursday's journal Nature.
"That's a big load that's pulling you forward," said Liza Shapiro, an anthropology professor at the University of Texas and the only one of the study's three authors who has actually been pregnant. "You experience discomfort. Maybe it would be a lot worse if (the design changes) were not there."
Harvard anthropology researcher Katherine Whitcomb found two physical differences in male and female backs that until now had gone unnoticed: One lower lumbar vertebra is wedged-shaped in women and more square in men; and a key hip joint is 14 percent larger in women than men when body size is taken into account.
The researchers did engineering tests that show how those slight changes allow women to carry the additional and growing load without toppling over -- and typically without disabling back pain.
"When you think about it, women make it look so very easy," Whitcomb said. "They are experiencing a pretty impressive challenge. Evolution has tinkered ... to the point where they can deal with the challenge.
"It's absolutely beautiful," she said. "A little bit of tinkering can have a profound effect."
Walking on two feet separates humans from most other animals. And while anthropologists still debate the evolutionary benefit of walking on two feet, there are notable costs, such as pain for pregnant females. Animals on all fours can better handle the extra belly weight.
The back changes appear to have evolved to overcome the cost of walking on two feet, said Harvard anthropology professor Daniel Lieberman.
When the researchers looked back at fossil records of human ancestors, including the oldest spines that go back 2 million years to our predecessor, Australopithecus, they found a male without the lower-back changes and a female with them.
But what about men with stomachs the size of babies or bigger? What keeps them from toppling over?
Their back muscles are used to compensate, but that probably means more back pain, theorized Shapiro, who added: "It would be a fun study to do to look at men with beer bellies to see if they shift their loads."
It's her 16 y/o sister who is pregnant, not her.
Unbelievable.
Oregon man says he's pregnant
Thomas Beatie, who used to be a woman, appeared in the most recent issue of The Advocate, a magazine for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender readers, Portland, Ore., television station KPTV reported.
Beatie wrote the article, which includes a picture of him while he was 22 weeks pregnant. According to the story, he went through a sex change, but decided only to have chest reconstruction and testosterone therapy.
Beatie was able to keep the reproductive organs he was born with. The article said he stopped getting the injections and was able to get pregnant.
Beatie, who lives in Bend, wrote he was once pregnant with triplets, but the pregnancy was life-threatening and he lost the fetuses. Now, Beatie said he and his wife, Nancy, are expecting a little girl in July.
In the article, Beatie described some of the challenges he and his wife have faced -- they said doctors won't treat them. The couple met 10 years ago and Nancy is not able to have children.
He wrote in The Advocate that their situation "sparks legal, political and social unknowns."
The couple were out of town Monday and unable to speak with the station.

I would like it that they don't get pregnant to begin with.
n,m,
Ohhhhh....Pregnant!
When I was pregnant that was the only time I experienced Charlie Horses! I would get leg cramps so bad at night it would literally jolt me out of a sound sleep! I wonder if it also has something to do with the pressure the baby is putting on the pelvic area and somehow affecting the blood flow to the legs, in which case, supplements aren't going to help?
Have you heard about the pregnant man?
I was just watching The View. The man (woman) who was pregnant last year, is pregnant again?
First off, you're pregnant
that in itself will make this situation feel 10 times worse than it is. Having said that, I do agree that I would be a little miffed, myself. It's not like you're intruding on her wedding day/weekend. She's already married and this is simply a celebration party for her on Friday night.
I would also agree with the poster below that you have grown apart. Being that you've been married for 10 years and are expecting, I would venture to guess that you're probably a little more mature (for lack of a better word) than she is as well. I'm not busting on single women, here, it's just that I remember the "fun years" before I got married and then before I had children. You're just at different places in your life.
The best way to handle the situation is to go to her party as planned. I would not splurge for the $50 gift card. I'd go with something a little more subtle. If you'd like to rekindle the friendship, you might include a photo of the 2 of you back in your "wild days." You don't need to stay for the entire party, either. Anyone would understand a pregnant woman would be tired from such a long travel and then the party. When you leave, be sure to seek her out and let her know that you'd still like for her to come to your celebration the following day. If not, let it go.
If you haven't done so yet, be sure to send her a thank you card for the gift. Believe it or not, some people would think they didn't need to get you anything if they weren't coming to your party (not that that makes it right). You have so much to look forward to and baby showers are way better than bridal showers/receptions anyday. You can eat as much as you want and all your guests will say is how "cute you look". Don't let this dampen your day.
I did not get bloating when I was pregnant....sm
Congrats on being pregnant.
But....since I did not want to go out and buy lots of maternity clothes (at least at first) as we knew we would only have one child... I used rubber bands on my pants and jeans. You loop one end through the buttonhole and hook the other end over the button. You have to wear a tunic length top of course, but it was worth it. Instant ease and comfort.
Congrats again!!
I was another statistic - pregnant at 18 - sm
After years of growth and raising children, first in my first, forced, bad marriage and now in my second marriage, which so far has lasted 23 years, I came to a couple of conclusions.
First, I can't speak for all girls, but I know I reached out for sex as a substitue for the loving and caring I was supposed to get at home, not just from my father, but from my mother, too. I vowed to make sure my children would get the love they needed and not feel it necessary to look elsewhere while they were still "children."
Second, living a virtuous life generally means living a simpler life. Yeah, you have to put up with peer pressure, but then you don't have to worry about sneaking around, getting caught, getting pregnant, getting STDs. You don't have complicated decisions to make about adoption, abortion, how to tell your partner you have herpes, etc, etc, etc.
As my kids were growing, what we would watch on TV was the launch pad for conversations about morality and common sense. No lectures - they wouldn't have listened - just "see how complicated her life just got?" or "my, he just had to heap lie on top of lie!" etc.
My daughter is 17 and graduating this month, my son is 20. They are both still virgins (yes, they communicate with me and I do know!). My daughter is very goal-oriented and set on college and not letting anything get in the way.
How we raise our children CAN make a difference!
I'm not pregnant - but my sister is and only her husband ....sm
knows besides me. She's only about a month along. This is their 2rd child. Her son is fine and he'll be excited to find out that he'll get a brother or sister in the future when they tell him, grandparents, etc.
I'm pregnant - 5 weeks along, 1st pregnancy....sm
My husband & I are thrilled that we conceived so quickly, especially with my being 43 and him being 50. We got married in June and started trying then. His 15-year-old daughter and our 6-year-old foster daughter are excited. Next year will be fabulous as we'll be finalizing the adoption of our foster daughter in January and having a baby in June!
At least in the inner cities, this is when the kids are getting pregnant. Age 11 and up.

After suffering a miscarriage, I'm pregnant again!....sm
I had a miscarriage in November at 8 weeks after having abnormal test results and got pregnant after my first period in December. I'm now 7-1/2 weeks and the baby looks great on the ultrasound and blood work they drew. I'm due on September 14th and my husband & I are tickled pink (or is that blue?) 
For those of you who responded to my post in November about having the miscarriage thanks for the support and encouraging us to try again. I've had a lot of women tell me that they had a successful pregnancy after a miscarriage and while the emotional pain of the miscarriage is still there, it was comforting to know I wasn't alone.
Oh, my, did not know you included a male as being a pregnant
person, thought surely a we were pregnant meant another female, just call me old fashioned but when I grew up only females got pregnant, carried the babies, had the babies. Just have never heard of a male being pregnant but will take your word for it. I guess times have changed.
I would have hit that panic button if she said pregnant!
This is exactly what is happening all over the states, people in a panic, not me - I told her just to check with her physician next week. If it is not a mysterious box or package being found and a panic about that, it is this or something else, all the time. I was actually relieved to hear what she said!
milkman and pregnant woman
When I was young some friends did the milkman and pregnant woman thing. Actually, he was in the milk industry, so it was pretty funny. All he needs is a white shirt and pants and a milk bottle rack with milk bottles. If you are pregnant, there you are! Instant costume! I tried to get my husband to be a horses a$$ and I would be the front, but it was a no go, because he was insulted that I thought he was perfect for the part. Later on, he admitted he was one sometimes, but didn't want to call attention to it in case there was anyone left who had not noticed yet. Adam and Eve would be good, except you would get arrested for going without clothes unless the party is at a nudist colony or you could go as Adam and Eve after he ate the apple and they both promptly found leaves. Get some leaves and an apple and there you are! It would be cheaper and easier though if you went to the colony because all you would need then would be an apple! I wonder if nudist colonies have Halloween Parties?
People can get pregnant on an IUD. I have two relatives who did.
You have to wonder why she hasn't had her tubes tied, and why he hasn't had a vasectomy and gotten a full-time job since he's perfectly able-bodied. At least if they're living off the dole, one or both should be going to college on grants to eventually be able to support four kids.
I celebrate being single and when I'm pregnant.
I'm not 16, however. Her sister is young and made a mistake. I'm not going to judge her ability to parent based on what Britney has done.
hey i heard that brittany was pregnant? what gives... is she or not?

LOL - I used to dream of Kramer when I was pregnant LOL (nm)
