Wow, this thread is so interesting - it perfectly illustrates how different it is for every woman. I personally found the weeks of sleep-deprivation AFTER the birth to be much worse than the birth itself, and I had a 60 hour labor, finally getting the epidural at 8 cm - and I thought the needle...

Hi Lisa - just wanted to add that I'm having ligament pain too, especially today. I got a little overzealous doing Christi Taylor yesterday, and now I can hardly walk. Someone mentioned a support belt - I have one, and found that they do help with ligament discomfort during workouts - but...

I always yawn during strength workouts, whether I've eaten recently or not. I just take it as a sign that I'm taxing my body's resources a little, and keep on yawning. :-)

hee hee - Cathe funny!! Thanks for kicking some A in defense of all of us!

SHANDA - TURN OFF THE TELEVISION!! PUT DOWN THE REMOTE!!! Seriously, don't watch those shows all the time. They're scary as sheet! I'm preg with #2 now, and I can say I was so freaked out with #1, I made it harder on myself than it had to be. Labor's much worse in your head than in...

Hey Shanda - I'm 19 weeks currently and still using my step tapes, but on a 4" board and without a lot of power. I still do the power moves if they're necessary to prevent injury - like hop turns - I just don't catch as much air as I used to. And of course I still do pendulums, 'cause they're...

Hi Ladies! I'm 18 weeks pregnant, and have been continuing with my workouts as able, though I've scaled back a little on the intensity of cardio and number of strength workouts per week. I'm currently doing 1 total body workout (MIS, Power Hour) and one circuit-type workout per week for...

Hey there - I'm on 20 mg of Prozac and am now 18 weeks pregnant. I think it's fine to continue. My midwife put me on it for PPD/Anxiety 6 months ago (wasn't sleeping hardly at all), and she said the benefits completely outweigh any risks. I'll have to tell ya, I'm not nearly as tired this...

Huh. 111 seems extremely low to me, to. I get that high doing grapevines in warmup. I normally keep mine under 162, which is 85% for me, so I don't get anaerobic, and I think that's all you need to be concerned about. If you're not out of breath and feel good, I think you're fine. I'm...

I can totally relate! I've never been able to keep my interest level up for more than a couple of months when it came to my workouts, but here I am, four months into a regular routine. I have to credit Cathe! I've always enjoyed Step, but usually get bored doing the same simple routines -...

Now I'm so SKEERT!! I'm waiting on 5 Cathe tapes to arrive tomorrow or Wednesday, but I'm going to be too terrified to open the box. I'm intermediate, and typically like to use tapes a little over my head and modify so I can see improvement. I have Step Heat and Step Jam and I'm worn out by...
