Congratulations! Your post sounds like mine from two months ago - I have two boys and a SS. Except my boys did not want a baby sister. My 11 yo said "Girls are too hard to train. She might even train me!" Guess he has it figured out already. I was so stunned when the U/S tech said girl...

I sure he'll be OK I am sure your dad will be a wonderful grandfather once he holds his first grandbaby. DH is not really into pregnancies - he won't go to childbirth classes, doctor's appointments, etc. and he showed little excitement when I actually became pg with any of the children (I'm...

Cathe, I did S&H legs and S&H Chest and Back this week and loved it. I'm using lighter weights than last summer, cut down a little on the number of sets and made pregnancy modifications. Instead of the plank work and 'supermans' I just did the cat stretch type exercise that is recommended for...

Congratulations and take care of yourself. Windy

I am almost 28 weeks now and I am also more uncomfortable leaning over. I've found that it's more comfortable to stand and lean over for back work than to sit on a chair and I don't lean as far as I usually do. For upright rows, I've been using two light dumbbells - in the lowered posiition a...

I think the results are coincidental. Maybe the lower birthweight babies were caused by premature inductions in the "heavy exercise" group. Windy

Risk of miscarriage My baby is due in June shortly before my 39th birthday and I refused the amnio. I had an office mate who lost a long awaited baby due to an amnio. It may be a statistically small risk, but to him & his wife it was devastating. Windy

Congratulations! Take it easy & enjoy that sweetie. Windy

I am at 20 weeks and having trouble with pushups. They seem so much harder (even on my knees) with that extra weight. Can we do pushups through the entire pregnancy? I will soon need to put my hands on a Step to accomodate the belly. Also, when we do weight-training on an incline, how much...

Congratulations! ENJOY!! I am so looking forward to June when my baby is expected to arrive. Windy

Pregnancy checkin There's a pregnancy check-in over at VF but I haven't been working out really. I'm recovering from a nasty sinus infection also. Glad to see you again. Windy

Congrats! My EDD is 06/24/02. My youngest son is also 9 so I feel like I'm starting all over again. Are you the same Myra that posts at VF? Windy

My mom is called Mee-Ma by the grandkids. It started when the children were young and could not say Grandma.

I am very pale and mine went away on it's own. I have no idea how long it took. Windy

I'm only at 10 weeks (due 06/24) but I am already having hip pain occasionally. With my last pregnancy (many years ago) the hip pain was the worst pg symptom I had. My hips hurt all the time. This time I have a body pillow to sleep with and hope it helps. If anyone knows of anything else...

I would like a yoga video just for pregnancy. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good one? Also, are there any other pg videos that are worth the money? Otherwise, for strength-training I plan to modify my easier Firms and sub in the pg yoga for the Firm floor work and cool down. I use...

First post here since I found out! I'm at 9 weeks now and so lazy. My workouts for this week: PS Legs standing work only; PS Back & Biceps; Cory's CST; 20 minutes on treadmill. I will try to do better next week. I love Cathe but I'm considering going back to my Firm videos for now.

I nursed my second child for 13 months and actually had to eat more than I wanted in order not to lose too much weight. I started back exercising when he was 2 months old but only had time for 2-3 Firm workouts a week so I credit the weight-loss with BF.

Thanks, everyone, for all the responses. This is very reassuring. I have always wanted to have another child but my husband didn't until recently. He is 6 years older than me. Hopefully I'll be hanging around here allot more soon. Thank you again. Windy

Happy Birthday, Cathe. I just had a birthday, too! My husband says to wish you happy push-ups and many more. Windy
