A slightly worriesome happened to me today. I was starting my workout and was about 5 minutes into it and was doing stationary lunges (without weight of course), and I felt some discomfort than may have also had the teeniest bit of pain in the pelvic region. So I stopped and just did some easy...

I thought the "see" was a mistake! I guess this is because I haven't had a sonorgram yet and hadn't realized that a heartbeat is something that you can see! Hope the sonogram is a happy experience for you. Gina

You're right--this is a fun thread. If your experience is like mine, and also follows the pattern I read about in an article, you will start to be averted to the Mexican and NA alcohol, and will want more of the carbs. At least for the first trimester. I took out an article from a respectable...

Thanks for sharing your story with us! I am very happy that both you and Max are healthy. Although, I am sorry to have learned that all is not well with you and your husband. I hope that you make are able to see your way through to making the decision that is best for both you and Max...

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I hadn't really considered buying maternity clothes on line as I don't tend to do buy without trying stuff on. But it seems logical that I'll find a bigger selection on line. And the thought of driving all the way to the mall and sitting in the traffic is...

Does this mean you are done editing the Intensity Series? Do you think a pregnant experienced Cathe fan will be able to do this new series? Perhaps with modifications? Will I have to pause the vcr a lot? Gina

Along these lines, does anyone have any advise on what kind of new pants to buy this early on? For instance if I buy regular pants one size to big will they get me through the next two months? Should I maybe buy maternity pants right off the bat? My regular stuff is getting a little...

With reference to your first pregnancy, when did you notice your stomach starting to expand? I have just started my second trimester and I'd swear my lower abdomen is already sticking out more. Even my husband noticed it. The waists of my pants are getting tight. I have gained about 5 or 6...

Congratulations! I am very happy for you and your husband! Gina

I'm not an expert on pregnancy training or anything, but I have been reading a book on this topic,"Exercising through your pregnancy" by James F. Clapp III, M.D. And since noone else has taken a stab at this, I will. It seems to me that the most basic answer to your question of "how soon after...

Thank you for such a detailed response. I appreciate your knowledge and time. I will keep this in mind as I continue my pregnancy exercise program. Gina

Thanks everyone for the kickbox info. And thank you for the Kegel info. I have also been lazy about doing Kegels, but vowed to do them. I don't want to pee myself, ever! I have done them 3 times a day for the past 2 days. I think I might make a face when I do them, so I won't just do them...

As you probably noticed, I posted this to Sheila too. I wonder what she'll have to say about continuing vs. not continuing kickboxing. It seems to me that kickbox would be easy to modify. One can always do "wimpy little" kicks or omit the snap and recoil altogether and do a more aeroic kinds of...

Sheila, Thank you for such a detailed, informed, and quick response. It is *so* nice to know I can turn here for information and advice! Someone here in this group made the statement I quoted. She was recalling something she had previously heard. For the most part I understood your response...

How is the chalk craving a few weeks later? --Gina

Sheila--or anyone else of course!-- do you have anything to add to this comment about kickboxing while pregnant. "By the way, I've been told not to do serious kickboxing while you're pregnant because it's really stressful on your pelvic floor muscles." P.S. Can't wait until Cathe is done...

"By the way, I've been told not to do serious kickboxing while you're pregnant because it's really stressful on your pelvic floor muscles." Foolafo Took Do you recall who did you here this from? Gina

I was short of breath immediately! Then fatigue set in. By about 6 or so weeks, I felt a little nauseu and food cravings/aversions. I experiences no breast changes. Maybe now at the end of the first triemster they *might* be a very little bit bigger. (34B) But I am glad because I can only...

RE: Thanks Gina Hope you are continuing to get better physically and get over your grandpas death. --Gina

Thanks everyone for your replies. I went ahead and ordered all 6 videos from the Intensity Series! Gina
