I was telling the hubster that the insomnia is maybe getting me ready for being awake all night???? That's spot on with the insomnia  practice !!
I love being pregnant though - felt good and enjoyed the whole experience I was the same way...if I could do it again I would in a heartbeat! Proud Memaw to Seyhan Olivia Christine ,Zoey Cirilo Jaylee & Ellie Abigail Lillian  | |

 YES
I used a balance of both natural/medical both times being pregnant and delivery - and post baby/momma care- leaning more towards natural approaches 
Still do | |

Can you explain this to me? I have never heard of this/ A doctor that specializes in holistic and natural remedies. Goes to the root of the problems and tries to correct them in a natural way. Without harmful medications. She cured my sister in laws morning sickness and her synthesis pubis syndrome for both pregnancies. Also she helped her have a natural birth the second time, after an emergency C-section the first time. The dr's told her there was no way she would have the second one natural when she was having the same problems as she did with the first one. The Homeopathic doctor came through and helped her have it naturally. Hopefully she can help me with my issues. | |

Trying the Sepia first. I have always tried homeopathic remedies before prescription meds for anything possible. Why harm the body if you do not have to.  | |

Oh okay...sounds like the kind of Dr. my kids Grandmother goes to...she is suffering lung problems etc..and she has done the whole natural thing to help with her issues. Very cool!

No exam, going to wait until next visit. 
She said "No worries you look very healthy for your age!"
She even suggested having it at home.....  | |

I was told by the life insurance nurse that came out that I had the lowest BMI of any other women in this area that she had tested. | |

Oh and because I am over 35 I have to do the fasting glucose test along with my blood work in two weeks.
She said she does not think I have anything to worry about. I told her that my glucose readings at home has been low rather than high. Standard procedure due to my age. | |

I wanted to do that with my 1st but the closest hospital was 45 minutes away so we chose not to in case of emergency - DAMN good thing as I flatlined 3 times afterwards - so with my second we also went to the Hospital in case ...

They are letting you go home about four hours after wards if all is well with both beings. Getting first sneak peek scan later today. Get to see the bean.

Stupid Brits. 
They need to weigh you so you can cringe at how fat you get!
I always hated the weigh ins.  Especially at the end. I tended to retain water so I looked like a damn balloon.
