Diana: I'm sending positive "labor" thoughts your way. Thanks for checking in. It's so hard to see your due date arrive and yet baby just keeps waiting. When is the next full moon? I went into labor with my first on the full moon. Have you dilated at all? If so, you should see if your...

It was good to read your posts. Sandra, are you pregnant, or a new mommy, or hoping to be pregnant soon? The CTX series is actually one of the easier series for me to do because I used it after having my daughter (almost 4 years ago) and we had so much going on in our lives at that time...

Last week was a tough week for me. I'm having a hard time again. I am so tired. I've been going to bed pretty early. My husband and I have just been on such different wave lengths that there has been a lot of tension between us. Never fun. It hurts so much to sit here and type this...

Diana: Thanks for keeping us updated. I feel for you! I can't imagine what it's like to have your foot problems. But I do remember how much I wanted my little baby to be born. He arrived 1 week late! My dr. thought I might go early since I was starting to dilate at 36 weeks. He was...

Curly Q I would not read any birth stories before getting pregnant. Birth is a messy process with an end to a beautiful beginning. My labors with my first two were very fast. I worked out thru out my pregnancies and healed very quickly. My recovery time with my first was a bit longer than...

I did 10 10 10 yesterday and it actually ended up feeling easy because I got so many darn phone calls during my workout. :-) I kept them very short, but it was enough to bring my heart rate down a bit. That is the worst part for me about working out from home. And I wouldn't answer the...

Another book I would highly recommed is one on how to conceive. It is by Toni Weschler (sp?) and the title is Taking Charge of Your Fertility. I would highly recommend this book to anyone trying or not trying to get pregnant - not as a form of birth control, just because it's very insightful...

Wow! I'm really posting late this week. I've been busy in the office, and then had the weekend without kids so my schedule has really been off. I really don't feel any motivation to workout this a.m. I hate mornings like that. Maybe I'll choose one of my easier tapes. Of course, no...

Hi Zoelda. I think the first thing I noticed when I found out I was pg, about 5-6 weeks along was that my workouts did seem harder, I was much more tired, and I was sweating way more than I previously did. It would just pour off my forehead which is really uncommon for me. The best thing I...

Tana: Congratulations on having the discipline to wait to find out what you're having. I am always so impressed with people who have that willpower. I was one of those people that thought "Why would anyone find out? It ruins the surprise." But the instant I became pregnant, I wanted to...

Hi Jen. I know a similar question about this was posted not too long ago, but I couldn't find it on the first page here. You may want to look at page 2 or 3 and see if it's already made it that far. I started working out, after giving birth to my second, about 2 weeks after delivery. I...

Jacque: It's always so great to hear from you. I don't blame you for not feeling very motivated in that kind of weather. One word - YUCK! Especially when you're pregnant! I would count the walking you did at Disney Land as a stellar workout. I'm sure you walked over 5 miles each day. How...

Tana - Welcome aboard! It's great to hear from you! Please post even if you don't have a great workout week. It's great to hear from everyone. Sorry to hear about your gestational diabetes. You really have kicked it into high gear with those workouts of yours. I really feel like I've been...

Good morning! How's the summer heat in your hometown? It got pretty hot this past week in Washington state. I am on the West Coast. Our temps were in the low-mid 90's. Since heat like that is not common for this part of the country, not many people of air conditioning in their homes. It...

Congratulations, and best of luck to you and your husband in your journey to parenthood. Have you read the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility? It's an excellent resource in helping to achieve pregnancy, if you're interested. There was an earlier post by Tricia on July 2nd, still on this...

Allison: I am so sorry to hear about your terrible morning sickness. Isn't that the worst? I threw up everyday for 18 weeks with my first. (Subsequent pregnancies did get better, thank God, but still weren't wonderful.) Take the rest you need and don't feel guilty. We are all here if...

Autumn: Thank you for sharing your wonderful birth story. It brought tears to my eyes. I am so happy for you and your family. I bet Sydney is loving her new baby brother! I look forward to joining you on the post-partum check-ins after my little one makes his appearance in September...

Hi Diana. Thanks for joining me. Yeah, it really is too bad that more people aren't joining in. It's not just to post your progress when you are getting workouts in. It's still fun to hear how everyone is doing. Oh well...hope they are all doing well. It might just be slow with everyone...

Well...I hope everyone had a great week and that we hear from more people this week. I'm lonely! I'm 31 or 32 weeks right now (my ultrasound had a later due date than my LMP, but I'm measuring in line with my LMP, so I'm not sure what to think, baby will come when he comes) but I am SO ready...

I absolutely LOVE my jogging stroller! With my first, we didn't opt to buy one. I used my regular stroller, but my husband and I started to go for 4-mile walks all the time. My stroller got thrashed and it was SO hard to push. We decided the second time around that we were going to do it...
