Actually most sources say that if you did things before you got pregnant, it should be fine to continue doing them as long as you don’t let yourself get over tired and you have cleared the exercises with your doctor. Your doctor may say not…

possibly pregnant with ‘period’?

Q: Ive been trying to figure out if i could possibly be pregnant or not. The last time i had sex with my husband before he left for basic training in the army was feb.4th and we didnt use a condom(and i wasnt on the pill) and my last period was a lil over a week before that date. I took a pregnancy test after a month and it was negative. It took me 2 months exactly til i started my period so i thought i was pregnant during that time, and when i started it wasnt like my normal periods. being 2 months late has never happened to me. since i started after those 2 months of no period, i have had that one and 1 more on time since. but the reason i think i am pregnant is because my stomach and lower abdomin seems to continue to get larger and i havent had a change in diet or exercise either. i get very tired at random times during the day, i get very bad headaches, bad nausea, and it looks like my breasts are slightly larger. im guessing i would be 4 months by now if i actually am, but im so unsure. i know this is alot, but i thought i would get some oppinions on possible “periods” if you’re pregnant.

A: Hmmm, this sounds like you could very well possibly be pregnant. Have you started taking the pill (or any other contraceptive) since you’re husband has left? When i started taking the pill it messed with my period a lot for the first few months. As well as taking it at different times everyday will mess with it. Have you been stressed about anything lately? Perhaps your husband being gone? Stress can cause a female to skip periods or offset her cycle as well has add a few pounds. How much weight have you actually gained? Are you breasts sore? Morning Sickness at all? I think the best thing to do would be to visit a doctor who can tell you 100% whether or not you are pregnant. At home pregnancy tests dont always work. Good Luck!

Disease or imagination?

Q: For more than ten years, and especially the last several months after I quit smoking, I have been tired and sore all of the time. I have trouble sleeping and also finding a way to exercise without pain bad enough to make me stop. The only times I have seen a doctor was during my pregnancies, and it’s normal to be tired and sore when you’re pregnant. I was tested for lupus during my pregnancies because I developed a butterfly rash on my cheeks, but both times the doctors said I didn’t have it. My sister has an autoimmune disease that they haven’t been able to diagnose (she has had pupura for five years without the cause being found), and my father has multiple sclerosis.I don’t have health insurance, so it’s not very easy for me to go to a doctor. My husband says that I’m always imagining that something is wrong with me and that it’s an excuse for not getting more done around the house. I’m starting to wonder, though, if it might be something treatable. Any ideas?

A: OH the old “guilt trip”. Are they not darling to lay that on us when we feel so awful. Ok, since your dad has MS you would prob recognize these symptoms if you were going there and also a doc would get right on it. I am going to venture a guess of Fibromyagia, aka Fibro. It makes every muscle in your body ache, relentlessly. It has only been recognized as a very real condition in past 5 or 10 years. Here is the test the Arthritis specialist gave me…He had me hold out my arm..level.. and pinched the skin and muscle tissue and it hurt like *)*&!!. Some one who does not have Fibro, that won’t hurt or at least not very much. Test yourself this way and go from there, I hope you dont have fibro.. Good luck and hugs, Lainey

Pregnancy and weight?

Q: I know you’re not supposed to try to lose weight during pregnancy, but what if you were overweight because of too many fatty foods and a sedentary lifestyle? If, when you get pregnant, you choose to exercise appropriately and eat correctly- while still consuming the recommended calories- wouldn’t you still lose weight compared to your previous lifestyle? Would that be bad for the baby?I tried this in “Pregnancy and Parenting” but no answers. I know it’s not a stupid question… any input would be welcome.

A: i had a friend who was obsese when she became pregant and lost 50lbs by changing her unhealth ways and eating very well, under the supervision of her nutritionist and physician, while pregnant
