Hi, Congrats on the weight loss, that's awesome! My baby is 8 weeks old (via c-section) and I just got the "Lose your mummy tummy" DVD by Julie Tupler. I had her book for pregnancy and wasn't faithful with the exercises but they really do seem to work. The DVD is excellent, it shows you how...

Arancini & Manmohini, I've seen pics of both boys and they are absolutely GORGEOUS babies! I think most multi-racial children (people) have beautiful skin and lovely eyes...and unique features in general. Please keep sending me photos as the boys grow, it will be fun to see them evolve as...

Marsha, you DID IT!!!!!! Yayyyy for you, I knew it could happen, and you so deserved to have this one your way. And wow, she's a big baby. Congratulations!!! :-) Steph

Hi Manmohini, here are a few. The links were too long to paste... Lindsay Brin's Postnatal Boot Camp with Moms Into Fitness Quick Fix - Post Natal Workout Mommy and Baby Body Builders Sounds like your diet is about as boring as mine. I have a wheat gluten allergy so that...

Hey Arancini! Glad you're on the war path too...do you own an elliptical? How do you like it? They seem very effective as an overall workout. Manmohini, I'd be happy to send some pics. I'd love to see Tamal too. Where should I send them? I just took some cute close-ups of Sienna's silly...

Hey Manmohini, thanks for the compliments. :-) Honestly, you sound like you're doing great! I wish all I had to do was tone a bit. I dropped 20lbs in the first 3 weeks, it just fell off and then things slowed down. I also got pretty depressed at around that same time , mostly from being shut...

Hi new mommies! I hope you and your little ones are doing well and off to a great New Year. Sienna is doing well, she's sick with congestion but otherwise is thriving and a lot of fun to be around. Is anyone else easing into their workouts again? Manmohini, Arancini? I've begun to workout...

Marsha, I'm sure things can still go as you've planned. Hang in there and I'll also send you some natural birthing vibes. You can definitely buck the trend, I know you've been doing all kinds of work with hypnobabies so I'm sure your baby and body can cooperate and create the outcome you've...

Awesome news, I'm so happy for you. I'm sure it's an incredible relief. Enjoy your high! :-) Steph

You are so welcome, I feel for you. I think many of us who've had miscarriages have a tough time in the 3rd month. It's easy to miss a heartbeat and it's common to have your hormones stabilize, so suddenly you begin to feel less pregnant and more "normal". A couple of midwives told me that while...

Hi Naughtoj, I'm so sorry you're going through this, hang in there though good things do happen. I totally understand what you're feeling and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I went through the same thing at around 10 weeks and they weren't able to hear the heartbeat. I felt awful...

Congratulations Melissa!!! And Welcome Louis James!!! (...he share's a birthday with my DH) We were wondering what happened to you, I'm so sorry that you had to have a c-section and had complications. So not fun. I can only imagine what those 2 weeks were like for you. I'm glad you're out of...

RE: Sienna Joy aka Manmohini, I'm so jealous that you're out and about!!! ...I've been iced in and feel totally housebound and trapped...definitely not helping my spirits. I'm a big outdoor person but we've had more snow this year already than last year altogether. I planned to do lots of...

Hi Manmohini, Great thread here, I have a lot of the same questions. Thanks for the book recommendation too, I've heard of it but haven't read it yet. The Little Tummies Gripe Water has helped Sienna when she's been hiccuping or gassy. It causes her to "release" the gas right away, so be...

Manmohini, good to hear from you! That's a happy problem to have, over supply.:-) I'm not quite making enough. But when Sienna is asleep or not hungry b/c hubby has fed her in the late night or early a.m. (formula or breast milk) I pump, esp if I'm engorged and dripping. I also pre-pump my...

Hi, I'm not sure about Melissa but Manmohini had a long labor & then a c-section. She gave birth to a big boy named Tamal. I think the details are on the Nico Joseph or Sienna thread...not sure...typing w/one left hand (nursing), sorry. I can't wait to hear from Melissa, I hope things went...

Hey Marsha, Thanks for the encouragement and BIG congrats on your progress! ...you're rapidly moving in the right direction. I'll send natural birth vibes your way. Sounds like you could easily have a nice "gift" on Christmas day -- so cool. Though I'm sure your family might rather you...

Hi Kristan & Marsha, Thank you! I'm glad you both chimed in, it helps to get the personal side of cs recovery...sounds like both of you recovered well too -- that's good news for me. I plan to take it easy & mostly walk and use some light hand weights for my arms. Sienna is teeny, not a big...

Hi, I had an emergency c-section on Nov 24th, Sunday will be 3 weeks. I'm feeling pretty good and my incision is healing well. I'm just wondering about a few things and hoping that some of you who've been through this can give me advice and answer a few questions. I've done some research...

Good luck Melissa! Waiting is sheer torture, I totally understand. I hope it happens soon for you. Keep us posted. Best, :-) Steph
