I just found out im pregant, im happy and my husband is. I thought I mightn't be able to have another baby so this is a miracle to me. My news of having another baby is darkened by my own mother who is not happy about it. Im married Im almost 26 and I have another little girl and my mom is not happy, its not like im a teenager. Im just really upset right now, how can she not be happy. All I get is your sick, you should have waited. I cant tell anyone about my mom not being happy because they will get mad at her and I dont want that. What can I do?

So happy to hear your good news!

Mothers!!!!! Sometimes, when we cannot love them, we just have to tolerate them :rolleyes: I/m not sure how well you are feeling right now, but if you feel you can cope with another baby, I am sure you can. It's not like you are heading into an unknown experience. I am sure once the baby arrives and she sees all is well she will come around.

Do be sure to maintain good nutrition for the baby if you have not aleady cured all nutritional deficiencies. :)

Congrats!!! And I know about the moms...I had a late miscarriage which has really contributed to my depression lately, and all my mom could say was "Thank God"..I'm sure you're a great mom, and your little girl would probably love a sibling :) I'm happy for you and your husband, and don't let people get you down about it!

Congratulations! Once your mom sees that you are doing well with this pregnancy, she will come around. I'm assuming you don't expect her to be your daycare or help financially. Just normal Grandma stuff. :P

Congratulations!

As long as you and hubby are happy about having another baby, that is all that matters. It is your life, not your mothers.

My son and his wife have three children and plan on having more. My thought is that they should have stopped with two. I would never tell them that. It is their lives and they get to choose the size of their family. And yes, I love my new little granddaughter just as much as I love her older brother and sister.

I agree that once she sets eyes on your baby, she'll fall in with him or her. How could she not?

Congratulations! What a great surprise!

I had no idea that mothers could be so mean to their adult children. My Mom died when I was 14 so I don't get to experience the bad or the good. I hope that there is some good. :)

Congratulations!!

Try to interpret your mom's comments as "I love you and I'm worried about you". You are her baby, and she wants you to be healthy and happy.

Congratulations! What wonderful news!

I have a mother that says the same thing and thinks I'm trying to kill myself with every baby I have..even though the pregnancies are healthy and I was healthy. LIke the previous poster said, she is concerned about you and loves you because you are her baby. Hold off for awhile about discussing details, as much as you would love to tell your mom all about it. Give her time to adjust and I'm sure when she sees the baby she will be happy for you again.

congratulations!

My mother had the same attitude when we started trying 10 years ago. For her, the reaction was worry about our financial stability at the time. You are fortunate to have this baby now and that the two kids will be close together in age. Remind yourself that yes your mom loves you even though she can say stupid things sometimes. Take good care of yourself and eat LOTS.

PS. I just found out I'm expecting for the first time about a week and a half ago, so we are probably due about the same time. I figure March 6th for me.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3. Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C. Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress.

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.
