Posts Tagged ‘stages of pregnancy’

I’m 13, but as long as I can remember I’ve never gone pooping in a regular basis- probably since I was 7.
When I was 7, I was taking meds to help me poop more regularly but after a month after that it didn’t work and didn’t bother telling mom or dad about it. Now, I’m to embarrassed to tell them about it since I’ve realized it’s not normal.

I’ve stopped P.E. at school since about a year ago to I’m gaining weight and it’s not normal fat- on a normal person that’s getting fat, it’s all flab- I look like the beginning stages of pregnancy.
Also, if it helps any, sometimes I might poop 2 times a day, then last 3 or 4 days without pooping any natural food or exercises that I can do at home or so my parents won’t realize?

I’m not asking how to get into "shape" because I have lost all but 8 lbs that I had gained, and I still look pregnant. My stomach muscles are all stretched out. I know I will spend the rest of my life looking like this if I don’t do anything about it, because my mother, who weighs less than me, has spent her whole life looking like she is in the early stages of pregnancy.

I saw on here before something like a gurtle that holds the stomach muscles and retrains them, but I can’t find it now. Has anyone heard of this? It is also used for after stomach surgery and stuff like that.

I’ve been havin’ stomach cramps, almost like I’m gonna start my period.. but I’ve had ‘em for a week or so. I’ve also had really sore breasts but never experienced that before a period ‘n have had a period for 6 yrs. My fiance ‘n I were intimate last night.. when I woke up to use the bathroom this mornin’, I saw I’m bleedin’. I haven’t had a period is almost 2 yrs due to the depo shot, got off it April of this yr ‘n have only spotted. Do u think it could be something else, or just my period? We’re tryin’ to conceive right now too, but I’ve never had bleedin’ durin’ the beginnin’ stages of pregnancy. So, who knows?

I’m (almost) a 14 year old girl, and I’m wondering if this is normal or not.

I’m actually very muscular, like when I wake up and there’s no food in me, or when I tighten my stomach I have muscles there. I only weight about 100 pounds and I’m muscular and actually skinny all over except my stomach, most of the time, bulges out and it really looks like I’m pregnant. I do get my period regularly, and it’s all the time, not just when I’m on/near my period. I’m not sexually active, so there’s no way that I could be actually pregnant. I’m wondering if this is normal.. because my friends tease me about it, but I take it lightly, I don’t obsess over being skinny and being perfect like most girls. For the most part I like my body, so I don’t let it get to me. I’m not sure if it’s a gut.. because I do kind of eat a LOT. :P Or what..? If you need pictures I can provide them, but hopefully you get what I’m trying to say? Basically I look like I’m in the very early stages of pregnancy. So whats causing this and is it normal?
Hey, I said it before, I’m not fat, the the first person who answered. When I said I eat a lot, I meant I snack a lot. I eat small meals throughout the day. I’m trying to go vegetarian, so meat isn’t really isn’t an option. I’m also severely anemic, if that helps…?
I’m going to spare being modest because I just need to get my point across but,

I’m extremely active and muscular, so it’s not that I’m a fat lazy couch potato, I ride horses competitively, and the equestrian sports keeps me plenty fit, and on top of that I play hockey, so I don’t think it’s laziness.

So… I made a status of mine on facebook stating that I wanted to lose weight & that I was in search of some diet/exercise partners to follow a 6wk plan with me.

I received a comment from my cousin (that I hardly ever talk to or see) & she began to tell me that her & a friend of hers is doing a 6wk program themselves and she called it the HCG Organic diet.

Now never before this have I ever even heard of this diet until she told me.

She told me that she has done this diet before & lost 40lbs in 6wks.

After searching this diet & reading reviews on it I must say that I am still a skeptic.

The diet consist of HCG injections or taking drops daily in addition to a 500 calorie a day organic diet & you don’t have to exercise.

For the record… HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropins: The major hormone secreted by the placenta. In the early stages of pregnancy.

As I have told her… It sounds like a starvation diet to me & I am very awear of the starvation diet & the consequences because I’ve did this diet for 15 days before & I lost 25lbs in that short amount of time then after the 15 days I began to slowly introduce foods back to my body but the end result was that my tummy seemed to be the place on me where it began to store fat for it didn’t know if it would ever be starved again.

I ended up gaining all of that weight back plus more.

I explained this to my cousin & she stated & I quote… After you complete the 6 weeks you continue to eat the organic foods for another 6 weeks and you slowly introduce other foods back into your diet. If you jump back into eating regular foods after the 6 weeks of course you will gain the weight back. You are (in simple form) resetting your metabolism in the 2nd six weeks to keep the weight off.

So I said to her… So is the diet actually a 12wk program? Tell me cuz? Are you hungry on this diet? Do you get dizzy? & why do a diet that would make you have to reset your metabolism afterwards just as you would need to do after a starvation diet? Im sorry but it’s pretty much sounding like a starvation diet to me except you get 500 calories more than you actually would on a starvation diet. Why not just do a organic diet, not combining it with the HCG injections that you are doing because there is no scientific evidence that the HCG even helps with the weight loss process & instead just exercise?

She says… When you eat a low calorie diet without the hcg you lose structural fat instead of the abnormal fat and your body needs the structural fat.

Yet I read a review that stated that this is not true & although this person did lose an excessive amount of weight he also lost muscle. & in his exact words he says… In my opinion, the HCG Diet is just like any other starvation diet out there today, as far as end results. Only 59% of my weight loss was actual fat. Included in that fat loss was a drop in my visceral fat– this is needed structural fat, the kind that HCG is supposed to prevent. I am here to tell you that it most certainly DID NOT protect me from losing vital fat. And it certainly didn’t protect me from losing vital muscle.

Also I read where some of the sellers are not selling you exactly what you think you are buying. The HCG is not cheap & you could be getting scammed. Wouldn’t it upset you if you found out after you spent hundreds of dollars that it really wasn’t HCG in the bottle & it was something else like maybe saline???

So of course I’d love to lose 40lbs in 6wks but I am asking all that has done this diet & it has been well over 12wks since to give me your review on it because as I said I am still skeptical???

I have a friend who I suspect has FAS because of her appearance – her face looks like pictures of people with FAS. I also suspect this because her mother was always drunk in her ealiest stages of pregnancy. Yet my friend is tall and super intelligent. Is it possible she only got a few FAS features? Doesn’t seem very likely now that I think of it.

Also, wasn’t it a widespread fact during the late 60’s that alcohol was bad for pregnant women? She says people didn’t know back then. I think they did.

ive been on the pill for a little over a year now and it seems since ive been on it ive put on weight. im actually not a big person, in fact, im smaller than all my friends, except my stomach is always bloated.
it looks silly coz my arms, legs face everything is normal except my stomach. its out of proportion from the rest of my body. i don’t think its fat though, its not fubby or anything, it actually looks like im in the early stages of pregnancy, which im not. im really self conscious of it and i always suck my stomach in, ive got into the habit of it.
back to my question, could this be from my pill, nd do i think i should go off it for a while to see if things change?
the thing is, i went on the pill coz i have problems with my period nd i get really sick from it so my doctor prescribed it.
