With your first pregnancy (or if you learned after w/ another one), what are some things you learned that you planned on doing differently w/ the next pregnancy?


I am going to make sure I keep up some kind of phsyical routine (walking)

Drink a lot more water

Don't eat salty or foods high in sodium

Buy a body pillow made for pregnant bodies

I always say i'm going to eat better and exercise but, I never did. I did learn one thing after Makaila though. I will never go though labor without and epideral again. Ohh and don't drink starbucks before you go to your glucose test. Learned that one with my last one. The three hour test suck!!!

Definitely the body pillow... i agree with you on that one! In fact, I still have to sleep with a body pillow to this day, but I would definitely splurge on the made-for-pregnancy one. Take more pictures too... I got about 10 pics total, but I always avoided the camera b/c I was so embarrased, wish I would of just sucked it up!

Yes I would take more pics too. lots of them. I have just a small handful of pregnant pictures of myself. I think I would also try to video my stomach when the baby is moving.

I think mine would be to keep excersizing during pregnancy,& take more pics. I only had one pic taken while I was PG with Ashtin cause I looked terrible. With Gavin only about 3 different pics.

Drink more water and sleep whenever I can. (I learned these. however, I never actually did them) I always kept active, didn't have much of a choice really with the second 2 lol.

Ditto on the exercise thing! :lmao I was sooo much more exhausted this time then last!!

I won't be going through another pregnancy, but if I did I dont think I would do anything different except try to space out meals, so more like 6 small meals then 2-3 big ones

well, the only thing I don't have this time that I wanted is more time for an exercise routine. I did excercise with the other two, but this time they just consume so much of my time. Aiden also whines about walking with us, he's lazy! :hehe
