Hi all, I was wondering if many women leave work before the baby is due or if they tough it out right to the end? My Dr. says he will write me out on STD any time I want to go. I admit it is getting to be a struggle but I don't want to be a wimp either. I'm due Oct 7th with #3. Workouts at...

Your right they are very expensive and the kids are not in them very long. However, I seem to have a thing for kids shoes and I can't resist buying them anyway. Websites to checkout - Nordstroms.com kidsnshoes.com, famousfootwear.com, kidsfootlocker.com, landsend.com and llbean.com. Also...

Hi everyone! I have a question for those of you on second or later pregnancies. I have been experiencing lots of painless contractions (braxton hicks) for about the last 10 days. I am only 33 weeks along and my Dr says not to worry unless I have more than 6 per hour (I have had more than 6...

Jenn, try popsicles, slurpees or other icey drinks. They really helped me and I could find ones that were low cal.

I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents worth as well. I was in a similair position at 29. I worked for a large Accounting firm as a manager and I am the main wage earner in our family. My DH and I had been married for 10 years and having a baby was always questionable for us. Finally, I just...

Do you use a machine like bowflex or free weights for weight training? I am thinking of getting a bowflex does anyone use one now? Thanks for any input.

I was in maturnity and bigger size pants at 8 weeks with this baby - number 3. I could not even hide it at work to the end of the first trimester. Now at 23 weeks I feel huge and still have so long to go. I'm afraid I will be really big with this one. I think you have done great to get to 14...

Yep, it seems to happen no matter how dedicated or determined we are to maintain that great fitness level throughout pregnancy. I'm at 24 weeks w/ #3 and about the only thing I've maintained from pre-pregnancy times is my upper body weight lifting. My cardio and lower body has went way down in...

I have read in a couple of different sources that you should decrease the weights you lift to 75% or so of your usual during pregnancy. Has anyone done this? I am still lifting my prepregnany weights on upper body. However, I don't lift very heavy to begin with. I am at 22 weeks. I would...

Hi everyone, it looks like everyone had a good week! I maintained my weight this week. I like it but it seems like when that happens I'm gearing up for a big gain in the next couple of weeks. Oh well! Workouts for the week: Sat - Fit for 2 step video; CTX biceps and tricepts Sun - off...

Friday check time. I did "OK" this week. I managed to get in all my workouts but the sweets got the best of me a couple of times. Sat: Fit for 2 Pregnancy Step tape Sun: Keri Anderson Step tape (about 40 min cardio) CTX Bicep & Tricep Mon: leaner legs (without weights) and walked 3...

Hi Lisa, I'm only in my second trimester and I seem to need to cry about every 3 days or so. I don't know if its just to release built up emotions or what. I usually do it on my way to work. Any sad song or thought will set me off. It lasts 10 minutes or so and then I'm fine. I think its...

Wow, thats for that info Tina. I try to drink lots of water but I have been itching to get out and work in the yard, plant flowers etc. I know now how important it is to drink water while out there. Thanks again,

Hey letswork, this is baby #3!! I'm sure I'm insane to have another one but I just couldn't help it. My heart overruled my head and my husband has always been so sure that we would have three. I guess it was just destiny. I have a 6 year old girl and a 4 year old boy. This one is a boy and...

RE: Hi Marci Hey Marci, I went to the doc today and I guess it wasn't quite as bad as I thought. He had the weight total increase at 18lbs and I'm now 19 1/2 weeks. Maybe I was retaining water after vaca? We are having a boy. After the blood tests and ultrasound went well we decided against...

RE: Hi Marci Hi this is Debbie and I'm 19 weeks along. I would love to join your weight/workout check in group. Hopefully, it will inspire me to eat better. I was doing OK through week 17, I had gained 14 (less than my 1st 2 pregnancies) but then we went on vacation and I gained 5 lbs in one...

I am right there with you. I am expecting number 3. I gained 42 and 44 with the first two and I was hoping to gain less this time. However (just like the 1st 2) I gained 9 in the first 12 weeks. The first trimester when you are only supposed to gain 3 or 4! I swear the MINUTE the sperm...

Hi, I just reached the end of my 1st trimester and I had nausea for weeks 6 through 11. It was all day and seemed worse at night. I got really tired of saltines. I found a couple of things that did help. First was slurpees or otter pops. For some reason the extreme cold stuff hitting my...

Thanks! I'm 12 1/2 weeks along. I bought power hour but I have not tried it yet. I think I will give it a shot with light weights. I can feel the muscle under the fat so maybe once the baby is born I can uncover it!

You can increase the resistence and the cost was $60 plus $20 for shipping.
