Hi Erica, Congratulations on the birth of little Kelly. I love the name. You will bounce back from your C-section much more quickly because you exercised. Just remember that a C-section is still abdominal surgery and you will need to progress slowly from one stage of recovery to the next...

Congratulations Hazel, Time sure does fly. It seems like yesterday that you were posting about Lauren's birth. Take care of yourself. Hopefully, Lauren is adjusting to her new brother. Get some rest. Big hugs to you and your little ones, Sheila Sheila S. Watkins, MLSci. Founder and...

Susan, Since I can't be there in person this time, I guess I will have to give this peptalk from cyberspace. I totally agree with that "angel on your shoulder." Look at the amount of exercise that you did this week. Do your realize that most women out there (of course none on this forum!)...

Since we've had a post on this subject I thought I'd take the opportunity to do some "educating." Here is an excerpt from my Healthy Moms(R) Perinatal Fitness Instructor Training Manual. Our training course contains an entire section titled "Psychological Changes of Pregnancy and...

Hello AmyNicole, I am so glad that you turned to us, your internet friends. My heart was breaking as I read your post. I think I can direct you to some non-judgemental help. There is a wonderful national organization called "Depression After Delivery." I have referred many of my clients in...

Hi everyone, Just wanted to "put my two cents in" about the Caroline Corning Creager book. I think that it is excellent! I have been through it cover to cover and am very impressed. Caroline has done a wonderful job. The book includes a lot of exercises on the Resistaball or birth ball...

Hi Beets, How wonderful!! I am so happy for you. I remember feeling the same way. I felt nauseous all the time but had "nothing to show for it." Then I had that ultrasound and wow..... Life took on a whole new meaning. I must have shown that ultrasound picture to a hundred people...

Double yippeeeee!!!! Hi Lisa, So happy to "hear" your news. Little boys are so special. Mine is 3 right now and definitely "mommy's little boy" which is fine by me. Keep us posted and give yourself permission to put those feet up when you are experiencing the cramping. Sheila Sheila S...

Hi MomofThree, I'm going to agree 100% with Amynicole. Your mom's info is a little off base. Nothing like trying to perpetuate the "myth of the delicate condition" even through postpartum and beyond.... Good luck and recover quickly, Sheila Sheila S. Watkins, MLSci. Founder and National...

RE: Good News! That is great! I am so happy for you. Welcome to our forum. Sheila

Hi Melissa, Congratulations on Ryan. You are doing great - exactly what you are supposed to be doing, taking care of yourself and your baby. That's fantastic that you are walking with both baby and dog. Just remember that during pregnancy most women do gain a few "fat deposits" around...

Hi Lisa, How far along are you? Have you discussed this with you care provider? There aren't any exercises that I know of that specifically reduce cramping. I definitely would ask about it the next time that you are in for an appointment. My suggestion is to "take it easy" on the days that...
