I've always left it on the counter, never even thought to put it on the stove lol
The thing is a lifesaver just throw anything in there and it'll be ready by dinner
@MauiBliss I put my crock pot on a glass hot plate/cutting board on the counter.
@Stepherly congratulations! What an awesome proposal.
@chilibeansm0m I hope you feel better soon
@cinderlla105 I hope everything is okay and you can see your doctor soon.

It's normal business hours why can't they bring you in? Pregnant women in the ER is so unnecessary unless your life is in danger or it's the weekend. I hate that they're making you rush to the ER when they are the specialists who can give you the answers you need. The ER will just tell you to follow up with them anyway. Ugh. Well good luck at the ER and don't expect too much from them because ER docs are clueless when it comes to pregnancy.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh, that makes sense now. Yeah, if you're both used to eating a certain way because you're athletes that's totally understandable. It's probably jarring to see his health-nut wife eating gummy bears if that's not part of your usual diet
I say until he's able to get pregnant he should lay off because our metabolisms are just different now. It's crazy. I eat SO MUCH. SO fucking MUCH. I'm astonished at myself and kind of embarrassed.
I lost 4 pounds. I swear, this child is leaching every calorie I consume and then shaving off some more from my fat reserves. I can't eat enough to keep up. My doctor praises me (because I'm not supposed to gain weight) and asks what I'm doing and I'm like "Oh, you know, just eating right and exercising!"
Last week for lunch I ate a fried chicken sandwich and a frozen macaroni and cheese meal with a donut for dessert. It's like I'm a 15 year old boy or something.
These are clearly not my best choices but calorie-dense food seems to be the only thing that does it for me anymore.
@chaysefaith you can do this!!!
So much love to @chaysefaith !!
@wendyld we already chatted about this, but I'm just going to send some extra hugs
crockpots; I leave mine on the counter cooking while away from home all day. It is no less safe than leaving a lamp on. Just keep stuff away from it. Crock pots rock.
SOs commenting on eating: just no. I would NEVER accept commentary from my H in what I eat, but damn, especially during pregnancy. That crosses a line, IMO.
I can't remember what else I wanted to comment on...
@cinderella105 Sending lots of positive vibes. Update when you can.
I'm a rather thick lady so my pre-pregnancy diet was already pretty terrible lol... Well, not *terrible* but I'm used to eating calorie-dense foods, which is probably why I'm having a hard time "keeping up" with my newfound metabolism. I've talked to other chunky friends of mine who had kids and they experienced the same thing. Since we're already used to eating heartier then our slender sisters, when our need increases it's either equal to or more than our appetite's capacity. In that sense, I am lucky. However, I am *not* supposed to gain weight and I start at a disadvantage being at an increased risk for GD and preeclampsia.
@jurrasicrabbit - I felt the same way until I started wearing maternity pants. I had to keep compressing my invisible baby bump and stuffing it into too-tight pants with the zipper unfastening itself every 1/2 hour. It just looks like a new fat roll. Adorable.
But now that I'm in my maternity pants I feel like a whale. A happy, comfortable, expanding whale. I don't look very sexy. Kind of like a lumpy potato sack. But soon my shirts will be distended and I'll have to buy maternity shirts. Holding off on those because I don't want people to notice, and nothing says "I'm pregnant" more than a billowy shirt that's snug on the boobs and big in the tummy.
