Is it just my imagination, but it seems like Hope gets really upset on days that I exercise. Is exercising effecting my milk, and if so is there anything I can do about it? If I just walk it seems okay, but if I do a tape (which is much harder and I sweat bullets) it seems to mess her up. I am...

Tears of joy as I type. Hope arrived!!! Healthy, whole and beautiful. 2 1/2 weeks shy of her due date. 7lbs 8oz of perfection. Worth every last minute on brethine and bedrest, and then some. She has a headful of hair and her daddy is totally in love with her. I am so thankful and feel so...

I went into labor this weekend at 33weeks 5days. I was in the hospital for three days as they worked to stop my labor. I am at home on bedrest and brethine. I hate it. It is making me feel awful and my baby is so restless. She is jumping around like she is trying to get out through my skin...

One of the areas I know I am going to have to work on more than anything after this baby is my abs. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about those ab dollies. Looks like you could spend anywhere from 10's to 100's of dollars on one. I was wondering if they are just a lot of hype. I'm...

Went in for my two week check up yesterday, and my doctor checked me because I have been experiencing a lot of Braxton Hicks. They have been very steady, but short.(25-30 seconds). I was 50% ephased,(sp?) and a fingertip dialated. She said I needed to quit work until after the first of the...

I am concerned about my doctor and wondering if I should look for another doctor. I feel like I am caught between a rock and a hard place, because I am at 30 weeks and really don't want to start all over. I am pretty sure my doctor is competent, but I think she is exhausted. I like her,but...

I had another ultra-sound today and the placenta previa I had earlier has fully resolved. We also found out we are having a girl. We thought it was a boy on the last ultra-sound, but things looked very female this time around. I am relieved and happy. (not about the sex of the baby. I really...

Help, I have a charlie horse in my rear end that I can't get rid of. The only exercise I am doing right now is walking due to concerns about placenta previa. Don't know how I have done this. It hurts and it is getting worse. I have had it for about a week. Yes, I am going to talk to my...

Just got back from the doctor. We had our first utlrasound. All looked well with the baby, but the ultrasound showed that I have placenta previa. There is a piece of placenta covering the opening to my cervic. I haven't had any spotting or bleeding and the doctor seemed a little suprised at...

We heard our babies heartbeat today! Tears of joy! Just wanted to share and ask if anyone knows anything about eating things with MSG in them during pregnancy. I have a Chinese food craving! Thanks! wr

Two friends of mine. (Due one and three weeks after me both miscarried this week.) I have such intense feelings about this. I don't know what to say to them. It is such a difficult position to be in. My heart breaks for them. I have dreaded something like that happening almost every day of...

Does anyone know if it is safe to paint while pregnant? I want to paint our greatroom and our bedroom while on summer break. I am in my 10th week. I was wondering if it was one of those things you should avoid in your first trimester, but can do after that. Hiring someone is out of the...

I was wondering if there are any absolute do's and don't's for ab workouts while pregnant. I am only 7 weeks, but feel my waste expanding already. I have heard that you shouldn't exercise on your back during pregnancy, I don't know how to work my abs without doing this. Any suggestions. I...

I am so thrilled, and quite honestly thanking God for everything around me lately. I just found out I am pregnant. I am recently remarried and 37 years old. My husband and I want a baby badly. I was afraid that my age would make it more difficult for me to get pregnant, but here I am after...

I am trying to get pregnant and have found out that my thyroid is underproductive. It isn't real bad yet. My doctor says I am in early stages of thyroid failure. He was concerned about this mostly because I am trying to get pregnant. My thyroid test has come back out of normal ranges before...

Hi Cathy, It's been a few weeks since I have visited you web site. I am so glad to see that you are releasing some new tapes. I feel like I get a better work out with your tapes than with any other series I use. I was wondering if you could give me some suggestions on a persistant problem. I...

I have been looking for the step that Cathy uses in her videos. I priced them at various sports stores and on the internet and got prices ranging from 79.00 to 90.00 dollars. Went to Sams today. That is Wal-mart's wholesale store. (You have to have a membership.) And got "The Step", the big...

I have been having some problems when doing Interval Max. After about the second set my calves and feet become numb. I was wondering if I should be concerned about this. It only happens after the plyo part of the set. After about two more sets it will stop. I am thinking it may just be a...

<center><font size="1" color="#ff0000">LAST EDITED ON Jan-12-00 AT 10:36PM (EST)</font></center> I have been noticing that when I work really hard my calves and feet begin to feel numb. Has anyone else experienced this? I have noticed it the most on the harder sets of plyo jacks and squats on...

Cathe, I am a 36 year old female. I lost about 30 lbs two years ago. Went from 170 to 140. I stay between 140 and 145 and work out regularly. (5 times a week for an hour at least.) I would like to lose about 15 more pounds and keep them off. I recently purchased 4 of your tapes and really...
