after pregnancy weight loss program

You may remember a post I wrote about my obsession with Googling and checking parenting queries on the internet. Even when my own common sense told me the answer, I Googled away and scared myself silly with some of the rubbish that is available on the internet.  You can read about that little habit here. 

I thought my days of Googling might be reserved for when you need to know where you have seen that actor before, or more times than not, when trying to prove my husband wrong on something.  But then I have had the amazing news that I am pregnant with my second child, and it is like my Googling addiction has taken on a life of its own.  

I always seem to just want to check things.  Even things I secretly know the answer to. But the thing is with the internet, theres kind of alot of views, facts, hoaxes, utter garbage and scaremongering to wade through or you will will become too horrified to continue on your search. Its also readily available, at home, at the park, in the restaurant, and my fingers just seem to be itching to hit that search button. 

A recent Google search I did was can you eat cheesecake when pregnant?. This was after I had eaten one that was half of the size of my daughters head. The only consensus appears to be that you need to find yourself a micro-biologist to come and test the food for you before you eat it for a definitive answer.  In fact, you should apply this micro-biologist answer to any food related questions including cheeses, eggs, mayonnaise and ice cream.  

I then went and reversed my car into the garage last week.  I had my seat belt on and slightly jolted forward.  I couldnt have been doing more that 3 miles per hour and there was no damage to the car or garage wall. However, off I toddled to Google reversing into a wall whilst pregnant. To my disappointment nobody appeared to have wrote about this EXACT situation on the internet.  What I did find was horrifying stories of car collisions and placenta abruptions.   I telephoned my second Google advisor, my mum, who basically told me to get a hold of myself and go and have a cup of tea. Thanks mum. 

My advice for the whole of pregnancy? Go with your gut instinct.  Failing that, go and ask your mum.  Do not Google, because there will be some woman from Timbucktoo who ate a cheesecake and gave birth to a goat.  You have been warned.  Relax and enjoy your pregnancy. Though if you do need a telephone number for a microbiologist I can hook you up. :-)

Thanks for reading and I would love to hear any Google pregnancy related stories!!!

early pregnancy losing weight no morning sickness

Whenever I need a new mascara, I always feel really overwhelmed by how much choice there actually is.  All mascaras pretty much promise to give you the lashes you have been dreaming of.  They will volumize, thicken, lengthen, sculpt, even do your ironing (well maybe not, but you get my point).  I can spend a considerable amount of time umming and ahhing over a new mascara purchase.  My go to high end mascara has to be YSLs shocking mascara which is just amazing.  But when my purse wont stretch that far and I need a drug-store version, I always seem to find myself in front of Rimmels counter.  But again, they have such a choice of mascaras that I always feel its a bit of a random decision with whichever mascara I come home with. 

Recently I picked up Rimmels WonderFull mascara with added argan oil. First of all, the promises.  With no mention of doing my ironing, it does state it will leave lashes feeling conditioned and soft, with no clumps, but lots of volume. So does it? 

I have to say this is a really lovely mascara.  It applies really easily, has a large brush which is perfect for adding volume, and it actually feels like it glides onto your lashes.  And the result?  Lengthened and volumized lashes.   

Now Im no fool, it could totally be the placebo effect here, that because Im thinking that there is argan oil in the product, Im convincing myself that my lashes are looking smoother.  But I really think they are.  The consistency of this mascara is really smooth and it does feel almost conditioning. You can build up the mascara for a more dramatic effect and it really stays put once you have applied it.  No panda eyes here. I also found that the mascara was easily removable and I didnt need to rub at my eyes to get it off. 

Im really happy with the results and all for £7.99? Bargain. 

This may not be a ground breaking mascara.  It basically makes your lashes look lovely and Id highly recommend giving it a go if you find yourself becoming hypnotised by the sheer choice of mascaras out there. Oh, and if I do find that mascara that does your ironing, I will be sure to post it here first!!

I hope all of my UK readers are having a lovely bank holiday, 

See you on Wednesday,

Pregnancy Over 40 and Vitamin C

Another good reason to eat those colorful fruits and vegetables.
Many women who suffer from infertility and recurrent miscarriage may have something called "luteal phase defect" where hormone levels are insufficient in the second half of their menstrual cycle. Here is an article which talks about a study on vitamin C and how it may help with this problem:

One hundred fifty women with luteal phase defect seeking medical attention for infertility were enrolled in the current study. Levels of estrogen and progesterone were monitored for three menstrual cycles. The participants were randomly assigned to receive 750 mg of vitamin C per day or no treatment beginning at the onset of the third cycle of the study. During the third cycle, progesterone levels increased significantly in women receiving vitamin C but did not change in women receiving no treatment. Estrogen levels also increased in the treatment group but not the untreated group. Moreover, there was a significantly higher pregnancy rate in the vitamin C group than in the untreated group: 25% of the women receiving vitamin C became pregnant within six months of starting treatment, while only 11% of untreated women became pregnant in the same time period.

The results of this preliminary study suggest that vitamin C improves hormone levels and increases fertility in some women with luteal phase defect. Placebo-controlled trials are needed to confirm the benefits observed in this study and to identify the amount of vitamin C that has the best effect on luteal phase defect. Vitamin C is inexpensive and safe, and could be useful as an early intervention in the treatment of infertility due to luteal phase defect.

weight loss during pregnancy last month

Im always amazed at the number of women who not only get pregnant over 40 naturally, but also women who get pregnant over 50 naturally.  What makes this case remarkable is  the woman in the story got pregnant by surprise at the age of 53, and she was on the pill at the time.  She also admits to a "once in a blue moon" love life!  What are the odds of that?  Her pregnancy had a fairytale ending too.  She carried to term and had a healthy baby after a natural delivery.

At the time of her pregnancy she also had two grandchildren from her two grown kids.  After delivering her baby, she said her motherly instinct kicked in right a way and her age just was not a factor (except to the doctors who, when finding out her age, automatically assumed she had donor eggs!)

The article also mentions a few other women who had natural pregnancies in their 50s including one at 59 and one at 55!  Researchers from Israel’s Hadassah University Hospital reported at a major European fertility conference that there may be a genetic combination in some women which can  slow aging of the ovaries and protect against cellular damage making older age pregnancies more likely.

Get Pregnant Naturally With The Help Of Co-Q10

I have heard about CoQ10 for a number of conditions, but this is the first time Ive heard about how it may help fertility by actually improving egg function and quality.
Co-Q10 may help egg quality by preventing damage and help cellular energy.

Mitochondria need co-enzyme Q10 to make energy. The vitamin is also a powerful anti-oxidant that may prevent mitochondrial DNA damage, Casper said.

Co-enzyme Q10s production by the body also decreases as we get older, starting around age 25.

"One of the theories about why we get old and die in the first place is that our cells just run out of energy — the mitochondria stop working properly and theres just not enough energy for cellular function so organs start to fail," Casper said. "A simple explanation could be that theres not enough fuel from the co-Q10 around."

In a pilot study using 52-week old mice — mid-life for a mouse, and the equivalent of 40 to 50 for a human — Caspers team gave half the group co-enzyme Q10, and the other half a placebo. Next they compared eggs retrieved from both groups of mice with eggs from 10-week old mice.
"What we found was that just treating the mice with co-Q10 we got more eggs when we gave them fertility drugs," Casper said. The nuclear spindles that pull the chromosomes apart were more like those in young eggs. The litter size was bigger, and the eggs from the vitamin-treated mice had improved mitochondrial function.

Even more surprising, when the researchers examined the mouse ovaries, there were significantly more egg follicles in the old mice treated with the co-Q10 — suggesting, Casper said, "that we actually were able to delay the onset of the equivalent of menopause in the mice."

Getting Pregnant Over 40, Try Parsley For Regular Cycles

When I was trying to conceive, I juiced quite a few vegetables in my juicing machine.
 I included parsley since it was a little more difficult to eat it right from the stems. Parsley is usually used as a garnish, and believe it or not, some people wouldnt dream of eating it!  Parsley has quite a few health benefits - including regulating your menstrual cycle. Read more:

It is also believed that parsley when consumed daily can help to regulate menstruation cycles, balance hormones and in general helps to build a stronger, healthier immune system. One of the things that makes parsley so effective at helping to improve health is the fact that this vegetable can easily be included as part of your diet without making big changes in your eating habits.

Adding fresh parsley to soups, stews and salads is simple and easy. You can also use frozen or dried parsley and there are parsley supplements available as well. Since parsley is all natural and is grown in abundance it is neither expensive nor difficult to purchase. Considering all its health benefits, it simply makes sense to include parsley as part of your daily diet. It is one of the simplest ways to protect and improve your health.

Fertility Treatments Over 40 - Mishaps

I recall back when I was going through fertility treatments before I embarked on my all natural journey to pregnancy.
 We tried medications, inseminations, and IVF. I never really understood what I was getting myself into until after it was over. One of the scariest moments was when we tried intrauterine inseminations to increase chances of conception by by-passing a less than friendly vaginal/cervical environment.

I went in for my insemination after my husband gave his "donation". After signing into the doctors office, I waited and waited. The receptionist kept giving me these weird looks and after I waited an hour and a half, the doctor himself called me into his office. He sheepishly told me there was a "mix up" in the lab and they had to cancel my insemination. The nurse jokingly says, "We wouldnt want a baby that doesnt look anything like you, now would we?" I sat there somewhat stunned, thinking "EXCUSE ME??? You mean to tell me my husbands sperm is floating around in the wrong pipette? And even worse, some other guys sperm was in my pipette?!" Well, in their defense, at least the lab technician admitted to the error. I really could have had someone elses baby.

 

SEE ALSO: DO YOU REALLY NEED IVF OVER 40 (getpregnantover40.com) 

In retrospect, all of this really does make me think about all of the things that can happen when you fool with mother nature. I know that some couples have no choice but to undergo fertility treatments, but it is a little worrisome that you really never know whats going on in the lab. Everything is microscopic, if something gets mislabeled.....its all over (or you could have a major dilemma the rest of your life). The same holds true for couples undergoing IVF or donor cycles. Check out the clinic ahead of time. Ask what safeguards their lab has in place. Better yet, try the natural route. Even though it doesnt have a 100% success rate, it has 100% accuracy.

If you do an internet search on "IVF Lab mix-ups" you will find many stories like this one.

Trying To Have A Baby, Birth Control Pills May Give Ovaries A Rest

I know, taking birth control pills seems counter-intuitive when youre trying to conceive.
 But, birth control pills may give your ovaries a needed rest so they can start producing again. Although longer term use of the pill may be needed, I recall fertility clinics using birth control pills to give the ovaries a chance to lay dormant before they started up with fertility drugs. If you get ovarian cysts, the pill can also help your ovaries clear up before trying to conceive. Endometriosis can also be helped by birth control pills because the monthly surge of hormones is put to rest so the endometrial implants which are outside the uterus are not bleeding and causing more adhesions.  Read more about birth control pills and other natural remedies for endometriosis:
