  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!

  How does the birth control pill work?

  Mommy To Zoe and Isaiah asked:
  
  
  I have a friend is who very confused about how the birth control pill works, so I just want to confirm.

  He thinks it works by killing off all fertilized eggs. In other words, he believes pregnancy will always happen, but it will kill the pregnancy. I told him that it is meant to work in the way that it prevents ovulation, therefore preventing an egg from even being released, but he still claims he is right.

  Who is right, and can anyone provide links?
  If it is still confusing, he believes that if a woman has sex on the pill, she will become pregnant and the pregnancy will either implant and be killed by the pill, or the fertilized egg will be killed before it can implant in the uterus. Either way, he believes the pill is meant to cause a miscarriage or an abortion.
  Just to clarify, he is not my boyfriend. I am married. This guy is a friend of ours.

  p.s. I haven’t found out if i’m expecting or not but I do find that now I’m craving pickles, i just can’t get enough of them ( i ABOSULTELY HATED PICKLES UNTIL NOW). I love apple juice but now it’s just not that great to me.

  I heard that women have to make up the fasts that they missed because of menstruation…but I’m not 100% sure if that’s true, so could someone please confirm it for me? Also, if that’s the case, do women have to make up the fasts that they missed because of pregnancy during Ramadaan too?

  Marie A asked:
  
  
  I’m not worried about gaining extra weight that i can diet off or stretch marks that will fade away to silvery lines. But i’m worried about loose flabby skin that i’ve heard other women talk about. As only a tummy tuck will solve this. My question is how common is loose flabby skin after pregnancy that never goes away????
