hi manmohini, my heart goes out to you.. i'm at 6 wks and i try not to think about MC (i can't even type it) but i'm 35 so i have the same anxiety. my first ultrasound is 2 wks from now and i am counting the moments until then! i think testing is the only way to ease your mind. you need to...

hi- i was just wondering if anyone here has done or is doing the tupler method (maternal fitness) and what you thought of it. did it help you during labor/delivery? i have started the program and i really like it, but it does take some serious concentration and dedication. but anything to get...

hi there, i totally understand how you feel.. i had the same fears about gaining weight, stretch marks, inactivity.. and also the fear that my running would take a toll (i'm been a serious runner for years) and i felt guilty about thinking this way, i was also worried about not having the time...
