I am finally getting back to my workouts!! Basically, I did the weights add-on to Basic Step about twice, doing the upper body and lower body on different days. It felt good to get moving a bit. DH, DS and I also have tried taking walks in the evening, but with the heat wave we have to wait...

>linda, i also find i am still uncoordinated enough that i can >inadvertently expose myself. . maybe i should just not worry >though. > LOL! I have the same problem. A friend of mine said she bought a cover-up at Target for about $15 - it's constructed so that you can see baby while he's...

Good evening!! I haven't posted in a while because I've still been in recovery mode. Yesterday I went for a short walk with DH and DS and felt great afterwards, so I think I'm going to start using my Leslies and see how they feel. I'm staying away from any impact until after my 6-week...

Well, not much to report this week since I'm taking about two weeks off of exercise while I recover. I've started walking around a bit, but it will be a while until I'm ready for any impact - I didn't have an episiotomy, but I did have a second-degree tear so I'm letting my stitches get all...

After 41 weeks of waiting, Lincoln Thomas King finally arrived last Friday, June 30 at 8:34 am (yes, we were up all night!). I started going into labor on Thursday afternoon, and I think all of the exercise I've been doing really helped with the 16 hours of labor / 2 hours of pushing that I...

I see no need to curtail travel plans because of pregnancy. Both me and my sister took regular trips during our pregnancies. My sister was 8 weeks along when she took a trip to France. She really didn't have any morning sickness or other symptoms besides fatigue, though. The excitement of...

No baby for me yet!! Although - he's sitting so low that I feel like he could almost pop out. Since he's so low I've been having a lot of pressure in my pelvis, making any impact uncomfortable. My workouts last week...all modified ultra-low impact: Sun: Prenatal Yoga Mon: 30 min walk...

Congratulations!!!! It sounds like you had a wonderful birth experience and everything is going well for you. I hope to join you shortly in the "mom" club...

Congratulations!! I'm so happy everything went so well with your delivery!!!

I'll be 30 in July and pregnant with my first baby (due any day now). My sister is 34 and trying for her first baby. I've read that after age 35 your risks for certain problems increases compared to younger women, but that the risk itself is still very small. My dad has three sisters that...

Wow Rachel - you are sooooo close!! For nutrition info, Dr. Sears has a family nutrition book that I've heard good things about (though I think only a small portion would cover nursing moms). "The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding" also has a section on nutrition. My due date is on Friday...no...

Just wanted to say.................... Congratulations!!!!!!!! I'm so happy that everything that went so well with you!

Rachel - wow you are close!! Just think, in one week you will be meeting your newest family member!! My doctor says she won't think about induction until I'm 2 weeks over (I'm 29)...but I feel "ready to go" any time!! Morris - I do get the "just in case" phone calls. As if I would forget...

Hmmm...maybe nobody is posting because everyone went into labor over the weekend? Kristine - hearing the heartbeat was when my pregnancy felt "real" for the first time. It's the first of many very exciting milestones!! I'm at the point in the pregnancy where I have to start every phone...

We're getting so close!! Morris - I'm glad your fluid levels are back up. Hopefully they'll stay that way until delivery. Rachel - I hear you about being tired. I don't sleep very well at night anymore (I'm a bit uncomfortable and *hot*! all the time). First Trimester Ladies -...

I felt much better this week - I think I may have had some bad allergies last week - probably exacerbated by the pregnancy. I was *supposed* to have an ultrasound last Friday, but the machine was broken!! I was very disappointed. I may not get to see my baby until he actually...

Rachel - My due date is June 23. I think Morris is also around the 22 or 23...maybe we'll have "triplets"! I *must* pack my bag this weekend. I haven't even bought (nor do I own) pjs to wear at the hospital yet. Nor do I have a baby take-home outfit picked out. Ugh!!

Congratulations on your new arrival!! It sounds like your labor and delivery went wonderfully and I hope you're now home resting and enjoying your new family member.

Heather, you're getting so close!! Hang in there! My belly has gotten *huge* over the past two weeks - my husband and I are shocked when we look at my weekly "progress" photos. I am having trouble eating since I have this constant stretched feeling in my abs that only gets worse after a...

Good morning everyone! I didn't post last week, so I'm a little behind. Sounds like everyone is doing well! Morris and Rachel - we're all due around the same time - I feel like 5 weeks is a lot, but when I think of all the stuff I have yet to do it's actually not long at all!! I have yet...
