I need a “diet” that is healthy for a pregnant woman and will help me keep from gaining over the recommended 35 pounds. I am not trying to lose weight just limit how fast I put it on. Any suggestions or tips that might help? Anyone have experience with this? I tend to gain about twice the recommended weight and am terrified to gain that much again.
I actually work at a gym and am not heavy at all when I am not pregnant. (size 4-6) I was training for a marathon when I found out I am expecting twins. I currently run about 40 miles or so a week. The past week nausea has kept me off the road completely. This is my fifth pregnancy and despite the fact I gain 70 pounds every time the doctor refuses to send me to a dietician. She feels that since I lose it so quickly (in 9-10 months of delivery) that it doesn’t really matter. It is just so miserable to be that big!

Hi everyone!

My friend and her parents took in a couple 5 week old kittens, and they need some helpful information-I have looked for some sites that could help them, but anymore would be great-I think that they know (generally) what they’re doing, but the nerves are making them regret themselves. Thanks to anyone in advance! And main tips about their care would be really helpful too. BTW-they didn’t want to take them so young, but one of them would have been shot, and they couldn’t let that happen-they both seem to be very healthy. Oh yeah-can their nails be trimmed yet? They’re sticking their claws into people when they hold them-they’re new to the house, and they’re doing well. But they would like to know some of the information to make sure that they are doing the right stuff. Thanks!

I recently quit biting my nails a few months ago (I bit my nails ever since I got my first teeth, so I’ve been biting for a good long time) and my nails slowly started to grow out. I have noticed as my ‘new nails’ have been developing that the white tips of my nails bend very easily if I touch them. I have also noticed that my nail beds are very short , and my nails grow crooked. I have a good collection of nail strengtheners, nail growth polishes, chip protection, and stuff like that, but they just don’t seem to want to grow long, strong and healthy like I want them to. I also don’t know how to file my nails very well. I actually just filed them an hour ago and they look uneven, and sloppy. Anyone know how to file nails well? I would appreciate ANY advice. Thanks:)

M asked:


Some say not to do anything, others say to try to “toughen them up” so it doesn’t hurt as much. What do you think, and does breastfeeding really hurt as much as they say?

LeoBaby81882 asked:


I know everyone is different, but what is the AVERAGE time frame when a non-breastfeeding woman will start her period after giving birth?

angeltear757 asked:


I have a 3 month old baby. When she was about 1 month and 2 week I had my first regular period since birth. However, the next month I didn’t get it. I’ve been breastfeeding the whole time, and my husband and I have tried to be very careful, although there was one slip up right around the time that i could have ovulated following my period, but I’ve had 2 pregnancy tests around the time I should have started and both were negative. Aside from the pregnancy and births of my 4 children i’ve had a fairly regular cycle, so, how common is it to completely miss you period due to breastfeeding? I’m currently on progesterone only pills (for the last three weeks) for birth control, but the information that came with it seemed to indicate that they might make you bleed more, rather than less.

I’ve been biting my nails and the skin around them since I can remember (now in my senior year of highschool). I’ve tried many times to stop, but it’s so hard! I am usually quite good, and then as soon as something stressful happens, I start up again. I’ve been chewing a lot of gum though. That distracts me from biting.

Well, for Lent, I have given up biting my nails. I’m hoping I’ll be able to continue after the 40 days too. =P

I have a feeling someone will suggest that bitter thing to put on fingernails to stop biting them, but, I can never seem to find that stuff in the drugstore anymore, and last time my mother tried to break me of the habit, I got used to the taste and bit anyway. SO I’m just gonna have to rely on gum and willpower! =P

Anyway, I’m wondering what things I can do to make my nails grow faster, and make them healthy and strong.

I’ve been trying to push my cuticles back (they were so grown out, I think it will take some time before I can get them back all the way) and I’ve been moisturizing my hands.

Any other tips/tricks? Inexpensive home remedies would be great. I don’t have money to spend on expensive nail products right now.

Oh, I also plan to go for a manicure after Lent, if I actually can stop biting my nails! So hopefully that will make them look good too. =)

Thank you!
