Thanks for the Vibes! Thanks for the vibes and well wishes everyone. I'm still sitting home without contractions, but I still have a little more time. I know I won't sleep much Wednesday night knowing I'll have a baby the next day, especially since I have to spend that night in the hospital...

I'm scheduled for this week This is quite a timely thread for me because I'm scheduled to be induced on Thursday. I'm almost to 41 weeks, and although my cervix has softened a little, I'm not effaced and I haven't dialated at all. My doctor said she feels it's important to "get the baby out of...

Skates I also love in-line skating, but I can't do it this summer because I'm pregnant. I also normally figure skate, which is another great way to get exercise if you have a rink nearby. I have RollerBlades that I bought a few years ago. They were my third pair, and the first pair I liked. I...

Not much insight, but... My pain has completely gone away too, and I'm quite happy about that. It stopped just as I started week 26. I hope yours stays away too Marjorie! I read that the baby shifting can make it go away, so maybe that's it. Alison

Males in Videos I just wanted to post my views too. If it weren't for Gilad, I never would have gotten into videos. I first bought his beginner's video years ago because I'd seen him on ESPN and he wasn't all fake like most ESPN instructors. Even though I don't do his video's too much anymore...

Pain Marjorie, I am at the same point in my pregnancy, and I am experiencing the same pain. It's been pretty bad the last week or so, and I have to limp a lot and really slow down my pace walking. It also is hard for me to move sideways. I went to the doctor yesterday for a regular check-up...

Congratulations Congrats, Sue! I'm glad to hear a story of it not being so bad. I still have 3-1/2 months or so to go until my first. I'm trying to keep up with the exercise, but it isn't easy. And like Hazel, I'm afraid I'll go into labor during a sporting event. The Steelers play the Redskins...

Weight Gain I didn't ask the question, but thanks for the advice. Just yesterday I was really noticing that I'm gaining so much weight in those exact places. It's so frustrating that my regular clothes are too tight but maternity clothes are too big. I need to get back to doing PS Legs. I have...

I'm at 14 weeks, and I'm finally over all the sickness and back to a semi-regular workout schedule. I've been doing my videos modified for low impact and on a 4-inch step instead of my usual 6-inch because that's what I've read other people have done. However, I don't feel like I'm getting a...

I agree I agree that these pills are terrible. A DJ on the radio station I listen to all day is a spokesman for either metabolite or metabolife. For a while, he was giving a daily update on his health and weight while using the stuff. Now it's more like a commercial. One thing he does do is...

Thanks for the help Thanks for the encouragement and advise. I was feeling better for a few days, but today is right back to where I was, so I am not going to push it. I think hearing the heartbeat made me feel good for a while, but that's worn off. I'm now at 10 weeks. I have been walking a...

Hello everyone. I am just starting week 9, and I've been very nausiated and exhausted since the start, although luckily, I haven't vomited too much. Before I got pregnant, I exercised regularly mostly to videos, but since I've been, I've only managed one step workout with low impact and...

Gaining Weight I'm only at 8 weeks, and I'm always hungry. Even when my stomach is really upset, I want to eat. I'm also very, very tired, so I haven't been able to exercise much lately. I've gained 5 pounds in the last month. Any tips to get through this?

Thanks Thanks Vicki. I couldn't find that number anywhere. It was exactly what I needed. Alison
