Hi, Just wondering if anyone has any advice about healing or fading of scars...older ones. I had a c-section but I'm more concerned about a dark scar on my knee that happened at the end of my last trimester. I fell and caught myself on both hands but skinned my knees. One healed fine, you can...

Hi, I've been using the original baby bjorn, a friend gave it to me after her son used it. My daughter was too small at first but we've been using it since she was about 3 months old and she LOVES it! And I LOVE having her hang out in front of me grasping my fingers while I sing to her and...

Hi moms! I'm 4.5 months post-partum and trying to understand why I've lost many inches but few pounds. I just discovered -- happily!-- that I can now fit into and zip my size 6 and 8 jeans...though they still look too vulgar to wear. :-( I've been working out daily doing cardio ~35-55...

Happy Easter ladies! I hope you had a great weekend. We had a lot of people over on Saturday for a BBQ -- wonderful weather. And today we saw relatives and did house work. I am pooped. Weekends should be for relaxing!! Here are my workouts for last week... MON-a.m. walk 00:35:00...

Hey Mommies, Just a quick check in and hello. I hope all is well with you guys and the back to work and babysitter/daycare transitions are going well. Sienna is beginning to sleep at night, we hope this continues so we can function normally again. She's teething and learning to sit...

Hi Mommies, Had a better week so I'm happy to post my workouts. I'm taking a page from Arancini and upping my workouts to an hour when possible. :-) Also adding in weights here and there, it all adds up right? We'll see if this makes a difference for me. Hope so!! MON-am walk 40:00...

Hey Mommies, A late night check in for last weeks progress. It was a tough week going back to work and Sienna still not sleeping well...me not sleeping much at all. (Praying tonight is different.) So I'm glad I got any exercise in at all, I sooo didn't feel like it. Hoping this week is...

Hey Moms, Happy Valentines Day! Sienna is napping soundly :-)... Here are last weeks workouts for me, if anyone else is keeping track I'd love to see what you're up to. It motivates me to see what others are doing and to know that I'm going to put my log here. The running has really...

Hey Moms, It's been a while but I thought I'd attempt to re-start our check-ins. I've been doing some mellow workouts, trying to do SOMETHING everyday. So far not much progress in the weight department but from what I've been reading fat cells are tough to budge in the first 12 weeks...

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...

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...

Funny, I said she'd rather be fashionably late than make a big dramatic entrance...well, her entrance was chock full of drama but we're so thrilled that she's here and healthy!!! :-) Despite multiple attempts at induction and natural birth, Sienna was delivered by emergency c-section on...

Hi Ladies and mommies-to-be, Just an update... We were scheduled for our induction today but we called this morning and they told us not to come in because they're full -- possibly related to the upcoming full moon. :-( I finally accepted the idea of an induction and was so looking...

We just moved last weekend and I'm really spent now (I'm 38 weeks). I know that when our baby is born people will want to flock to our home to see the new baby AND the new house. We're having a "Welcome baby"party instead of a shower and I've informed most of our family and friends of this...

Hi, don't worry, I WILL call my midwife if this keeps up. Just curious to know if anyone else has experienced a low tightness, almost like a cramping or a bruised feeling below belly button and above your pelvis? My baby has dropped...or officially engaged as far as I know. But I haven't...

Hi Moms and Mommies to be, I'm just 33 weeks tomorow and I'm looking for any tips on how to get my baby (1st child) into position so I'm not dealing with a breech baby. I don't have confirmation of my baby's current position (transverse diagonal? I suspect), but I should have a better sense...

Hi Moms, We're expecting in 2 months and are living in a small house with a tiny bedroom while we search for our new home. Just in case the baby comes before we've bought our new home I'd like to get a mini co-sleeper bassinet. It's smaller than a pack n' play and will allow me to attach it...

Hey Mamas, Just checking in to see how everyone's doing. Haven't seen a check-in post so I thought I'd put one up. How are you lovely Mamas to be doing? How are your workouts going and how are you feeling? Hope you're all doing well and feeling healthy and strong!! I'm feeling really large...

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone out there has experienced any pain or sensitivity above or around their belly button while pregnant. I have a bruised feeling and a slight indent just above my belly button, it's been there for over a week. My midwife thought maybe it was the beginning of...

Hi, Just wondering if any other preggo ladies do the GS legs DVD. If so, do you skip the exercises where you're on your back i.e. rollouts, the ball and band floor portion? I'm 21 weeks today and have been doing this DVD for 3 weeks, maybe 1-2X a week. When I get to these I do some of the...
