Re: Can some of you IBS mamas out there give me some advice? (No, I am not PG)       02/02/07 01:26 PM Edit Reply Quote Flipada Reged: 03/02/06 Posts: 1026 Loc: West Michigan, USA Congrats on your decision to try. May you enjoy every day of your journey there! I started taking prenatals a few months before trying because of my age (37), it was extra important to get in that folic acid. The vitamins haven't been bad and didn't really make my C worse until the last few weeks (now in 2nd trimester). I'm doing Benefiber like crazy, other IF AND one colace at night and still dealing with it. Ouchy. BUT, I've found that my tummy can tolerate a lot more right now. I still don't do dairy but with some Beano, I can handle a couple pieces of pizza now and again. Yes! When you get pg and have your first dr. appt, they'll probably give you a copy of "What to Expect When You're Expecting" which is a great book. But, a couple months ago a friend bought me "The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy" and I have to say, I wish I had gotten that book before number one! It's filled with lots of things that no one will tell you about pregnancy...either because it's uncomfortable to talk about or because you just don't think to tell someone about it. I haven't changed my diet much other than I can tolerate more now. I didn't have IBS with the other two (or not so severe) so I'm on a much better diet (Heather's) now and I think it's helped with my weight gain. When you go to your first doctor's appt after you get pg, they will tell you exactly what you should be eating to have a healthy baby. They tell you not to start a new exercise routine after you get pg but you can continue what you're doing if you've already been exercising....or if you want, you can get started now. I will tell you though that in your first trimester, you may not want to do ANYTHING. I was sick (nauseated) and very tired. But I'm feeling much better. I'm excited for you. Big hugs. hehehehe -------------------- Flipada - IBS-C "It's a gas, gas, gas" **Lauren** Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
