As some of you know oxsarahxo sadly lost her baby girl Jessica Charlotte Reay hours after giving birth. We are arranging a star to be named after Jessica and a lantern for her resting place from all of us. We also thought it would be nice to make a contribution to Sarah & Matt so they can use it towards flower arrangements, head stone or resting place arrangements. If you would like to contibute please PM me for details.

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Is weight a factor?
Since we've been TTC, my best friend has been thinking about when the days come for her and her boyfriend to start TTC too. She's worried that because she weighs so little that it'll be hard for her, or hurt the baby somehow.. She's gone to the doctor and they say she's healthy and there isn't a problem, she just has a really high matabulism(sp?).. she's 20 and weighs 105, I think. Is there anyone else out there that is real tiny, but have had a baby with no problems? I wanna give her a peace of mind. Also, do you show sooner being so small? Thanks in advance ladies!  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Nicole Ritchie just gave birth to a healthy baby, and before she got pregnant she was suffering from eating disorders and weighed no more than 90lbs!! I even wondered how she'd "fit it all in there" but she blossomed throughout her pregnancy without any complications  . |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | My best friends sister is quite similar. She did have an eating disorder for a couple of years but has been much better since being married. She still doesn't eat a lot but she does her best because she knows she has too in order to concieve.
She did find it hard the first time. It took over a year for her 1st and they've been trying again for a good 6 months or more now but she's medically underweight for her height.
Saying that I was slightly medically underweight for my height too and I have no problem with eating. I've just always been like that, I guess like your friend. As this is my normal weight I had no problem TTC.
If she has regular periods then it's a good sign because if you are too much under or over they become irregular or stop. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | My friends sister that I was talking about was well past 20 weeks before she started showing and she went back to having a flat stomach very soon after having her baby too. She didn't even get stretch marks but I unfortunatly have. |

| It's medically proven that lack of nourishment affects fertility but as long as she's eating fine, that's not a problem. The biggest risk to fertility is being overweight. |
