    5 Weeks Postpartum...

    and I'm back teaching!! Hi everyone, it's me, Myra a ghost from the past! I thought I'd introduce myself to those who don't know me and say to those that have been around for awhile... Josephina Marie (Nina) was born at 37 weeks on November 13, and weighed 5lbs. 7oz. I went into...

    Postpartum check in-week of Nov. 9

    Hello! I now join the ranks of post-partum, YEAH! It's been one week since I gave birth to my baby #4, Josephina Marie (Nina) who weighed 5 lbs. & 7 oz., 19inches. I started pre-term labor contractions at 33 1/2 weeks and Nina was born at 37 weeks to the day! She had her check-up yesterday...

    Post partum check in?

    I have a stupid question... Would I consider myself 14 months post-partum even though I'm 32 weeks into my current pregnancy?? Or is just being PG completely VOID me from the tern post-partum? Sorry, I'm just a little ignorant... Myra:+

    Hear me whine...please! (Close pregnancies)

    Hi Everyone! It's me, Myra, the over-training group fitness instructor turned baby-machine! I've been so busy with my family and more specifically an active 14 month old (which some of you may remember I endured 9 years of secondary infertility) and when she (Kyrstiana) was 7 months old, I had...

    Who works in the fitness industry?

    I'm forever going to be working on my undergrad in Exercise Science (2 years to go) but I've been AFAA certified since 1995 and BodyPUMP certified since 2000. I teach Step once a week and sub BP, Yoga & toning classes. I'm on maternity leave right now since my 36th week and can't wait to...

    Tailbone Pain,a real pain in the....

    REAR! Right after my 3rd month and since then, I've had this pain in my coccyx (sp?) bone area...my OB says it's most likely the baby laying on nerves and my childbirth class instructor/nurse says it could be from teaching Step still. I really don't want to believe the latter only because...

    To all those aerobic instructors out there...

    Hi Liz! I just got back from subbing a BP class (I'm 32 1/2 weeks) and I too use my bench at incline for chest & tri's. I actually roll over to my side and step one foot out to get up...it's quite hilarious but everyone is great about it! On some days I just stay upright and don't use any...

    It's a GIRL..90% anyhow...

    Hi all! I've just had the 4th U/S (the 3rd U/S the baby's position was breech and legs were crossed) and we determined the baby's sex organs to be the labia(sp?) and there was no penis in sight or it was very well hidden! At first when she scanned, there was a little white line and something in...

    Has anyone ever...

    received a 2nd ultrasound to determine gender? I had my 1st 20 week u/s and the baby's legs were crossed so I couldn't find out. With my 1st baby, 9 years ago, I didn't care to know but this time I feel like things are so crucial that if I don't find out, it'll kill me! So I went ahead and...

    So, How Far Along Was Cathe?

    That is, when she had baby Kyle? Sounds like all went well and I'm glad she's doing well. I've got 15 weeks still...ho hum... Myra :D

    Cathe, where did you get all your cute...

    maternity workout shirts? I'm for some cute things to teach my cardio class...I particularly like the red one you had on in the VF 1999 trip. It seems as though no other instructor around here is "daring" enough to wear sleeveless shirts while PG, so I just see them in big baggy T-Shirts. I'm...

    Anyone have a Bradley Birth?

    I'd like to use this method but can't afford to go to the classes ($180 and travelling an hour and a half away) so I've checked out all the books and have several handouts from the classes from a friend and now I'm in the process of getting the workbook and working a plan with an instructor...

    Back pain!! What a pain!!

    This is my 2nd pregnancy and I didn't have this nagging back pain with my first (I'm 16 weeks)...does this mean I'll experience back labor? I don't even have a belly yet, I've only gained 7 pounds so far and I feel it's all in my lumbar spine! I thought I was in better shape in this pregnancy...
