Do you think its cheating vegetarianism if the baby craves meat and I eat it to satisfy that particular craving that has been pestering you?

I think if you're craving something, there's something within that product that your body is lacking. I say go for it! But if you think it would make you feel bad later, maybe try eating foods high in protein or whatever other nutrients that meat would provide.

I don't think it is, but I'm not vegetarian. I think it depends on the reason for the lifestyle. If it's because you don't want to ingest meat because you don't want to harm animals, then that might be hard.. but if it's becasue it's a choice to be a different type of healthy, then I think you could go for it. (I say "different type of healthy" because I believe that omnivore, vegan and, vegetarian lifestyles can all be healthy if you do it right. To me there is no right answer, just preference.)

I gave up on my vegetarianism for the duration of my pregnancy.
It's just easier to give in then to sit there and be abused because I won't give it to her.

Definitely a good thing. I didn't even know you could end up craving stuff like that. It's like watching the show Strange Addictions!

Yeah.. Pica really isn't all that rare if you google it. Tons of people out there crave weird things..
I'm thankful mine is just chalk.. o_O
Lots of time it's dirt.. or ASHES gonk !! I really don't see chalk as that bad compared to some things.. infact it's probably the least strange..

I found a website where people would eat drywall!? ... Also, I LOVE THAT SHOW. rofl
The next one.. ( or it aired and I missed it..)
The one with the girl who drinks gasoline!?
At least I'm not craving that!



Azlein: I think it depends on your reasons for being a vegetarian. But it isn't strange to think your body would want meat to provide for the baby during pregnancy.
If you have like.. a pact due to animal cruelty.. than maybe I could see it as cheating.
And if that is the case, then eating free range meats shouldn't really be considered cheating. 3nodding



Took a nap. A nice fat one.
Is anybody else DROOLING? gonk I'm so bad this pregnancy.. it's awful.

Thanks mama. :3

I think I will give it up for now I hit my 3 year mark already) and then go back to it after my pregnancy. But I will only eat what I am craving. I think that sounds fair right?

That sounds like what my friend would do if she was pregnant.

Hi all sorry I haven't been around. Life has been pretty hectic!
Here's a picture of Leo:



I'm finally in therapy for my PSTD. I was prescribed Wellbutrin. I'm still in the transition stage so I've been dizzy/nauseated/ringing in my ears. I also found out that I can't have caffeine with it.

Leo is doing great. He has reflux so he's been on Nexium for almost a month now. It has worked wonders.

[HelloCherryChick]

@Azlein: That's how I am.
I still eat very much like a vegetarian, it's just even now and again I want chicken or something of the like and I'll have it.
I wish MorningStar's ckin-nuggets took care of the craving, but it's not the same.

Does anyone know if the Wii Fit is good as a workout? I figured since my boyfriends mom doesn't use hers I could use it along with doing my yoga every day. Just don't want to waste time doing it if it won't help me get healthier and possibly lose a little weight.

I love my wii fit. It's currently sitting collecting dust at the moment because I've been nothing but tired and am on my feet all day at work for the most part.
They have little yoga things you can do on it and aerobics that are easy impact for you but definitely are good for cardio!

I swear by Wii Fit. I gained 65 lbs when I was pregnant, and obviously not all of it came off when Aden was born. I have always been blessed with awesome metabolism, so I had no clue how to work out in order to lose weight/keep it off. I was clueless. So my son's dad bought me Wii Fit, I dove right in and never looked back. I lost like 20 lbs in a few months before Aden turned one. Now when I need to work out, that's what I do.

I'll definitely have to try it, I just hope my my boyfriends mother doesn't get into one of her weird moods about it. She's totally sweet but she gets pissy for the stupidest things. Which is why I'm glad I'll be moving into a separate apartment soon.

Well, I am not pregnant, got the BFN this morning. My husband is upset, I am upset and I feel defective. This sucks.

Do you prop your hips up after every time you have sex? Sometimes bodies are different with ovulating times and the strips don't work every time.

I sure do! I prop my hips up with two pillows, I use to do that even before we were TTC. I hope the little strips are accurate, for the past 3 months they have been positive on the same day but who knows. After I used my last strip I stopped buying them because it made me toooooo nervous and uptight.

Mmm. Well just try and have fun then! wink That's the best way to do it. How long have you guys been trying?

We have been "if it happens it happens" since our wedding in 2010, but officially trying since September of 2011.

Okay so get this. Today I was at the store getting me some groceries and this dude walks up and says, "I like a pregnant woman, with the big hard swollen breasts, so are you pregnant?" then I said no, this is what happens when you don't wear your pants correctly. Sure as hell scared him. He lifted up his pants, did up his belt and ran off. Then some other guy came over and said "That was funny, but are you really pregnant cause if so thats hot, so I said No, I just had to much Mcdonalds. Jerks...
