Hi, I would just do easy walking. At about three weeks, I felt great (and I wanted to do some light weights and some very light ab work). But my doctor put the realization in my head about how major of a surgery c-sections are. She said "your scar might only be 4 or 5 inches long but under...

I bought a sit n stand from Target to use on a trip we took in August. My DS1 will be 4 in November and my baby is 1 tomorrow (the 17th). It was absolutely awesome to use at the airport, the zoo, walking around the city, and even walking on fairly level grass field....It is narrow and folds...

I had both of my boys circumcised. It was a hard decision with the first, but 90% of the boys in our area are circumcised still at the hospital. Plus we have a friend who was not and was picked on greatly in school, so he actually had it done when he was 21 - yikes! It was a non-issue with my...

I've been lucky with the quickness...but not with them sticking which was pretty devastating. I've been pregnant 4 times (I have two babies). I got pregnant the first month each time. We did the deed pretty much every day and we never went more than one day without. It became a chore each...

I highly recommend any ab work prior to pregnancy. I did 10 minute ab videos several times a week before pregnancy 1 but not pregnancy 2 - - there was a huge difference in my body during and after with doing the ab stuff.

Hi, I'm nursing my second baby now (he's 5 months on the 17th). I nursed my first for 9 months. I haven't found that any particular foods bothered either one. I use splenda in moderation. I also try to limit myself to only one cafenated beverage a day - -I haven't found it affects the...

Congratulations! I know just how you feel. I had my second son 4 months ago. My neighbor actually kept saying..."oh, thats just too bad!" when I told her he was a boy. I really hate the comment about trying for a girl next. What really ticks me off is that I want a third child...always...

You look great! Thanks for sharing your success.

My son is 14.5 weeks old. I've started back to work recently...I dual pump/breastfeed in the morning, at lunch (I come home to see Sawyer) and in the evening. I have not been able to pump at work at all. With my first son it was easy, but I've been promoted since then and it seems like all I do...

Well, I was 15 pounds heavier starting my second pregnancy compared to my first. I was in pretty good shape though. I could definitely tell a difference in how I felt. I gained the exact same amount of weight both pregnancies. I outgrew my maternity clothes faster the second time and I got...

How sweet! How old is he?

With baby #1, we put him in the crib very early. With this baby, he goes to sleep in the crib but is moved in the early morning hours to our bed - I can get away without feeding by having the baby and paci right beside me...... We have a cosleeper that goes in the middle of the bed. It's made...

Congratulations!

I do short workouts (10-20 minutes). I do Cathes upper and lower body segments on one of the beg/int dvds, various 10 min ab workouts, Tamilee Webb's I want those series, and some Gilad, as well as my eliptical. I use weights even if they don't. I try to alternate a day with arms/abs and a...

It sounds normal to me at 1 month. My little man is 9 weeks old and this past week has started being awake more and gets upset if I don't talk to him sometimes.

RE: I posted below about I hope everything works out for you. My first pregnancy was a blighted ovum. I had a D&C when I should have been 10 weeks. My 2nd pregnancy was a success. I miscarried my third pregnancy. I had seen the heart beat at 6.5 weeks, but the baby died shortly after (I...

As for the car the pacifer has helped us. I'm breastfeeding too and feel your sleep deprivation pain. My guy is 8 weeks old and is now doing a 5-6 hour stretch from start feed to start feed at night. It's been a gradual thing for us. The 1st month is the roughest. As far as formula helping...

Hi, There was actually something on TV about it a few weeks ago. It seems most cord blood banks are linked to insurance companies. The TV show said that there is a federally funded program looking into banking of all cord blood in the future because it could be used by other people as well...

Hi, I just had my second son on 9/17 - I had a failed VBAC. My first son was breech like yours (I actually went into labor and then had the c-section). I was told I was a great candidate for a VBAC. A lot of doctors don't do them anymore because of malpractice risks. But they are fairly...
