Low Immune System During Pregnancy

My last pregnancy was absolutely wonderful except for each month at least i would have one or two sinus infections and i will just feel miserable. I never asked the doctor what else other than mild cold medicine can i do for these. Well now i'm on my third and am fighting my first sinus infection and this is exactly how it began in the second pregnancy. I can't breathe cause i'm stuffy - i can't smell - i can't taste food - i can't sleep - i can't get comfortable. And my two choices are sudafed non-drowsy or tylenol cold. I have only tried...

Pregnancy and Weight Watchers

Hey guys, I'm so excited!! I found out I am pregnant. But I'm keeping it on the down low from everyone because I miscarried last time and just want to play it safe again this time.

I had been on weight watchers for 2 years at that point and so sick...

Pilates DVD Recommendations

Got a question for everyone here. I am going to be taking up pilates as recommended by my midwife. TMI reason....after having 2 children, both of which I ended up with episiotimies, everything "down there" is a bit out of whack. If I am caught off guard when I sneeze or cough or I pick up the boys or something heavy or anything like that my bladder does not like it and I can leak some. I've done those Kegels exercises but it's not been enough. It's better than it was after my second was born mind you but still. I've been ignoring it all...
