RE: Jordan is here!!!! Congratulations, Autumn! I can't wait to hear all about it! We couldn't WAIT to leave the hospital after giving birth to my 2nd child and left after 24-hours. We loved it. When I gave birth to my first, though, we stayed the 2-nights that we're allowed to stay and...

Hi! I was a SAHM when my first child was born, but just before he turned one, I started a bulk mail company with my sister-in-law. We thought a little extra guilt-free shopping money would be fun. Well, 6 years later, a second child, and a third on the way, my business has turned into a...

Diana: It's great to hear from you. With everything else you have going on, you should feel great that you got two workouts in! I don't think I'd be able to say the same if I were in your situation, and I'd probably be a big grouch because of it. You're so close. I bet you can't wait to...

I don't really have any advice for you with regards to gestational diabetes. I would recommend reposting a question for Sheila (in case Southernfit-Jessi doesn't visit this forum anymore). And also, call your OB and see what they have to say. From everything I have heard/read, staying in...

RE: Thanks! and Pictures Christy: You have a BEAUTIFUL family! Thanks for sharing the pictures. It's always so much fun to actually "see" people you've communicated with online. Your daughter is gorgeous! Stacey

So many people are waiting until their 40's to have babies now. You are still very young. I say go for it. Talk to your doctor, do some research on the web, or in books, and then follow your heart. In no way are you too old to be having a baby! Good luck with whatever you decide.

Autumn, I will miss you when you have your baby since NOBODY is posting with me! What's the deal? Even if people aren't working out, it's still great to hear from everyone!!! I will be sending good vibes your way too. You're definitely in my thoughts! Stacey

Isnt' sleeping on your side the worst (when you HAVE to anyway)? I have just recently started getting really uncomfortable at night when I'm sleeping. If I'm on the couch watching t.v. or reading a magazine, propped up on the arm of the couch, but laying on my back, I start to feel like I...

Oh, Autumn! I feel for you! Wow! You are at a 4...with this being your second pregnancy, your doctor should just induce you now. You're never going to make it to the hospital on time! I really mean it when I say that you are having regular contractions (even if they don't hurt) GET TO THE...

Wow! I can't believe there isn't a post for check ins pregnancy or post pardum yet! I hope everybody had a great week and I hope that Autumn had her beautiful baby! Can't wait to hear from her! I had a decent week. Still only got in 4 workouts, but had to paint the garage 2 days this...

I would definitely say that my body is better after pregnancy. I have had 2 kids and am currently pregnant with #3 (almost 30 yo) so we will see if the same holds true this time, but I don't see why it wouldn't. Like the other poster, I began working out when pregnant with my first, so...

Congratulations! I don't know how you do it - five kids! (I'm worried about how I'll make it work with my 3rd!) You're a true martyr! Stacey

Oh, Christy - Congratulations! Isn't being a mommy the most amazing experience in the world? I am so happy for you both. Take care, and I look forward to chatting with you again on the post pardum check-ins once my little one is born. Stacey EDD 09-23

Hi Autumn. Glad things are going so well for you! I'm sure you know this, but speaking from experience, I just wanted to say to be careful with the timing of your contractions, and if they are coming 5 minutes apart, be sure to head to the hospital. When my dr stripped my membranes with my...

Hi Ladies. Hope you all had a great week last week and a fun & safe 4th of July. I sure hope we hear from Christy soon! My week was pretty good. I only got in 4 workouts, but I painted my older sons soon to be new room which is 450 square feet with 9' high ceiling. I had to do 2 coats, so...

Thanks! I am having a tough time deciding whether or not to get them, especially with Cathe's newest set on the way.

I feel so bad posting this as it seems as if it's all the buzz, and I could probably review old posts on the other boards to read all about it. Anyway, so many of you sound excited about this series, and also state that your husbands are excited enough to do it too. What's all the buzz about...

After my 2nd pregnancy, I received Cathe's cross-train express series (it was brand new at the time). At 2 weeks post-partum, I began using the tapes, with modifications. I noticed a pickup in my bleeding, and eased off a bit. I was also going on 3-4 mile walks. I eased into the routine...

Hi Tricia. The workouts that I enjoy doing the most are Step Works, Power Max, all of the Cross Train Express series - her shorter tapes. I did the Cardio Kicks once but haven't tried Circuit Max yet. I find that the moves on the step are a lot more comfortable for me as my uterus gets larger...

Autumn - let me know if there are any other "good secrets" to help mother nature along. I am definitely going to start drinking raspberry leaf tea at the 36 week point. I would check my own cervix if I knew what to look for. :-) Wouldn't it be so nice if you got to miss out on those last 3...
