Hi There - I agree with the others -- it was very irresponsible for Dr. Phil to make such a sweeping statement. That being said, I've seen a few studies that do link EXTREME stress during pregnancy to some problems. In the studies that I've read the stressor is the death of an older child --...

Hi Amy - I'm sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. My doctor is very conservative, and her recommendations for nausea are either 1) Vitamin B6, 50 mg twice a day or 2) Emetrol (this is a class A drug - completely safe during pregnancy and is available over the counter). I didn't have...

Hi Erica - I understand your worry. But, honestly, I think you're doctor is a little behind the times. I know you'll get some wonderful information from the others on this board, but until then, here's some information to ease your mind a bit. Here's a link to an article from the Physician...

Hi -- I'm just 5 1/2 weeks pregnant. This is my second pregnancy. I didn't exercise at all with my first. I've been working out to Cathe and Firm tapes for about 10 months. I've made wonderful progress in my fitness level, but I'm still overweight. (I'm 5'3" and weight about 185 lbs). I am...
