...If I could be pregnant again?...

Princess_Lily · July 2010

Answer with what you would vow do different.

My Answer:

I would embrace my ever-changing pregnant body more than I did, and not look at myself as getting fat, but growing a life.

I would exercise more than I did.

I would take pregnancy photos.

I just found out yesterday that I'm pregnant and I'm already planning on doing 'your' first two. I did take pregnancy photos so I hope to with this one too. My big vow is to not gain a ton of weight and eat sensibly.

I would do a pro photo-shoot.

I would not make an excuse to eat McDonald's as often as I did last time

Try to enjoy everything as it comes, as it may be our last pregnancy. Unless I can talk dh into 3 kids

I am pregnant and I am not really doing anything different except not stressing out about the weight gain. I gained 60lbs with DS and was so freaked out about it. I got the weight off so I am not stressing this time around. I eat fairly reasonable and exercise now i am just going to enjoy the ride.

Ohh, where to start?

-I would get professional maternity photos done.

-I would not take four months to be excited about it.

-I would hire a midwife and hopefully give birth in a birthing centre, or at least a hospital with a tub for me to soak in.

-I would go med free (as I had a bad reaction to my epidural).

-I would get a 3D ultrasound and order the DVD.

-I would go to movies and eat in restaurants on a weekly basis, because that is virtually an impossiblity with my active little guy.

ETA:I would also get hospital photos taken. I go back and forth between wanting a birth photographer, and just wanting hospital pics after the birth.

If I could start this one over (not that I actually want to!) I would take up prenatal yoga from the beginning like I did with DD#1, I was am much more sore and achy this time and I think it's from lack of yoga! It's hard to find the time though when you have a toddler in the mix but it would be worth it.

Take more walks/exercise more & not use it as an excuse to eat crap

I vowed to not complain about being pregnant like I did when I was pregnant with DS, although my pregnancy with him was HORRIBLE. I was swollen for the last 3 months on bedrest for the last month, couldnt fit into ANY shoes, got stretchmarks on my calves because I was so swollen... and very very high BP.

This time I am so thankful I am not swollen that Im not even complaining about the little swelling I have. Hell Im not complaining about anything.

- Be more active.

- Eat more healthy if I have a choice (I threw up everything my last pregnancy, so I ate what would stay down).

Disneygeek77 · July 2010

Only gain 30 lbs instead of 50. Eat more fruits and vegetables, be slightly more active.

Eat better

Worry less ( although this would be very difficult for me)

Buy cuter maternity clothes. I felt so frumpy last time but didn't want to spend the money on nicer clothes. This time I don't care.

Maybe go on a little family vacation just the three of us.

We found out DD sex at the ultrasound but this time I think it would be fun to have a gender reveal party. IT wouldn't be big and wouldn't be a gift giving event. I would just ask my friend ( who is an amazing cake decorator) to make the cake colored according to the gender and we would find out when we cut into the cake.

Oh and hire a maid service to come in and deep clean right before the baby is born

I want professional pictures in the delivery room! And I vow to take the video camera out more in the hospital. We have less than a minute of clips from our hospital stay with DD.

MrsAMB07 · July 2010

- Eat healthier / Be more active (more water, less salt - hopefully less swelling)

- Take more pictures during pregnancy and def. during delivery/at the hospital

- try to go med free

- bring my own pajamas to the hospital - I hated that hospital gown

- clean the house thoroughly before birth and not use the excuse of waiting for nesting to kick in, because last time it didn't

- We'll keep the next LO's name a surprise

- professional maternity and newborn photo shoots

- (after pregnancy) Stick with BF longer than I did with DS

Shellbelle22 · July 2010

One things I really regret is not cherishing my time with just DH before DD was born. I was so obsessed with saving money and worried about complications that we didn't really go out much and never took a weekend away. Next time I get pregnant, I hope to cherish our last few months as a family of 3.

i did your first 2 with my other pregnancies so i dont feel like i have any "regrets" for the past 2.

Echowysp · July 2010

Sadly, I haven't done the things I thought I'd do differently. I'm actually less involved with this pregnancy than the first (less time to focus on it). I really regretted not getting pro pics done and swore I'd do them this time. Well, that probably won't be happening either.
