Topic: RE: Shapeware during early pregnancy?

I would say that as long as you're not having the dressing maid strap you in to a corset, you should be fine.  I wore light shapers my entire pregnancy to help smooth out weird skin.  Problems only come when you're squishing too much.

Topic: RE: Let's talk about Clomid

I used Clomid 11 years ago along with artificial insemination for several cycles.  I had one chemical pregnancy with the first round then nothing.  We finally gave up.  

I had heavy periods and suffered hot flashes, but those were my only side effects.  

We went back to trying naturally, but of course that never worked - we had unexplained infertility.  We decided to adopt 4 years ago and after waiting over 3 years we adopted a healthy baby boy in February and 7 weeks later I discovered I was miraculously 7 weeks pregnant!  I'm 20 weeks now lol.

Good luck to you!  I wish you success!!!!

I do not see anything unsafe about it!

Topic: RE: Protein

My nut said protein shakes or bars are fine if you can't handle meat right now because of morning sickness. I had it REALLY bad and past the 1st trimester. (I'm 20 weeks now).  She did say the best way of course is thru foods.  I can eat everything now and am starving all the time.  She said the most important thing right now is protein.  

I had gastric bypass not quite a year ago, but I assume it's the same for you.  I eat canned tuna or salmon a couple times a week (within the recommended amt for preggers), lunch meat (heated) and cheese, protein shakes and bars when on the go... Basically go back to how you ate right after surgery.  She said if it comes between protein or fruit/veggies, go for the protein.   Congratulations and good luck!

Can I wear spanxs in the first trimester? I always alway always wear my spanxs and would feel weird and uncomfortable not wearing them but is it safe?

Topic: Appointment today!
Went in for an appointment (36w3D) and all seems well. Dr was pretty worried about the fact that I have severe itching all over my body, had to send some blood to the Mayo Clinic to see if it could be serious. Also she asked about my growth scan, and if baby was head down. I told her that baby was breech but I was not sure cause I felt a lot of rolling yesterday and then pressure. So she got out the ultrasound machine and saw that baby did in fact make the flip! So far so good! At least I hopefully will have no reason for a c-section. So I am happy with everything so far. Just hoping to make it through to Tuesday now cause I will then be considered full term! That and I have a exam scheduled for Monday that I really do not want to put off any longer! (I've been having a ton of contractions)
