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...
