presentation I had a daughter who came out mouth first and she hasn't quit talking yet! We were unaware of her presentation -- no sonograms or she flipped at the end! No epidural in sight at that delivery! I mean stuff happens right!

Couldn't resist... getting in on this one. I went into labor with my first 3 children on my own and delivered naturally no drugs etc. My 4th I went in to labor (twice!) on my own. The second time I had been having good contractions for hours so we decided to augment labor and use pitocin to...

midlife is relative... you are only midlife at 35 if you plan to live to 70. Have my husband's attitude and you don't have to worry about that mid life crisis ( or fat cell) until 50! My point... it is all a state of mind!!!

me too! I am in hte same boat. Light exercise and nursing. I have found no adverse effects on milk supply with exercise nor have I ever experienced the lactic acid build up causing baby to not like breast milk after exercise. Although I have read through growth spurts sleep patterns etc. and...

Just checking in to let everyone know I delivered after that long wait hahaha! Went into the hospital Monday night about 10:30 and delivered 8lb 12 oz Zak at 12:40 am Tues. He was in a hurry to get here! One push and there he was. Thought Cathe and Sheila might be interested to know that I made...

I am going CRAZY! I am 1 week from delivery and my OB is out of town. So, I am not exercising at all because I don't want to go into labor and deliver with some other dr. I know this is silly, but I try to limit the # of people that see me naked! I was having alot of contractions when...

exercise and delivery I have exercised fairly consistently through all pregnancies and have NEVER enjoyed the 1 wk early statistic. All my babies have been either a day early or a day late. I was induced on my last preg. I was already dilated to a 3 1/2 and effaced so I was due to drop at any...

Got up this morning and was all set to workout with the Cathe Cam! I was so excited! Then the darn thing wouldn't come up. Worked fine on Mon when I stopped in for a peak to see what a real Cathe class was like. I was so PUMPED! Dog gone it I just had to share my disappointment. Guess I will...

Texas <center><font size="1" color="#ff0000">LAST EDITED ON Jul-11-00 AT 11:46PM (EST)</font></center> I am also from Texas and just wondering what area you are both in. Doesn't seem as if there are that many of us Texans in here. Or maybe they are all very private. Noticed Hazel's last post...

ANTICIPATION..... Now it's even WORSE!!! I can NOT wait to get those new tapes and get back in gear! That class looked soooo fun! I will be waiting impatiently at the mailbox next month!

my 2 cents It's true there is no perfect time! I am the mother of 5 soon to be 6 and I have to play it by ear every day as to the best time to squeeze it in-- especially with summer here and all my children at home all day. I am almost never able to get up early enough (2 yr old is up by 6 @...

I FINALLY was able to remember the right time for a class and watch a Cathe class live. Now I want to know if this Mon class is similar to the Cardio Kicks?! It looked like so much fun and I can't wait to get my tapes. If it weren't for the big belly I would have been exercising along with ya'll...

FYI Feb 4 is my youngest daughter's BD. She is 2. I don't know why I felt like adding this but o well!I am sooo jealous you are back on the road to the old you. I too finds it takes about a year to feel re-conditioned. The weight is back to normal sooner but there is still skin that has been...

No joke!! I hear you on that Tx heat!! I live down on the coast and am 3 weeks from delivery!Darn I wish it would get just a LITTLE HOTTER!!-- Oh yeah I forget it is not August yet! I found that my fitness level was not affected by pregnancy either; once I was able to get back. What I did find...

curious I know breastfeeding helps most lose that extra poundage at first -- think it comes off a little more quickly. But, what about the last 5 to 10 lbs? Have any of you out there found this impossible to lose these lbs until you quit?
