Next time you get pregnant are you planning on doing anything differently?

Nope. I think I handled my pregnancy pretty well :)

Try to save my internal organs?? Really, I don't know. I've done it twice, and both times it's ruled me. I don't know what I really could do differently. I do know with Lily, I was much more aware of appreciating every moment. All too quickly comes the moment you realize you're done having babies- and every part of that is behind you-- forever. Ouch :(

I really do not know if I'd do anything differently. Probably not eat as much as I did with Matthew and exercise a lot more. (and by exercising I mean getting off the couch and walking instead of eating and plopping down.)

I can't really think of anything I would do differently....maybe try to be more relaxed and less anxious.

Ditto. It was hard for me because I was working, sitting behind a desk all day, but next time around I will definitely get off my ass more. I didn't eat a lot (my belly was too squished to fit a lot in there), I think it had more to do with what I ate (too much bread and too much junk).

Dude, I watched 2 kids. You'd think I would not gain so much weight running around with them but I got super duper lazy (towards the 7th month) and plopped my fat ass on the couch and let them watch TV a lot :blush: shhhh that was against the rules but I was sooooooooo freaking exhausted.

I hear ya! I wasn't getting a lot of sleep because I was so uncomfortable so sitting on my ass at night was all I wanted to do.

I thought of something else I'll do next time around. I'll go for some massages. I had one when I was pregnant with Ben and it was fantastic. Next time I'm going to do a lot more often. :twothumbs:

I was so scared to get a massage. My sister told me they can cause miscarriages and thatt stuck with me so I freaked. I know totally stupid but my mom also thinks if you don't eat everything you crave you can lose the baby.

Now you see what I have to deal with.

Holy cow! I would have weighed a ton if I'd eaten everything I craved!

If I was going to by PG again, I would totally scrap the idea of "eating for two." I ate healthy, just too much of it. Weight gain GALORE.

I would also spend less time freaking about the baby coming and just enjoy being prego. :hula:

I did weigh a ton or close to it.

That was my excuse and I started using that excuse while BFing. I had to tell myself that eating chips and cookies wasn't good for the baby and I was totally making excuses for it.

I plan on not hogging out on everything that looks good. Gaining 55 lbs was just a little insane!
