For Christmas, I want to get some new videos. I am tempted to buy all of Cathe's new Intensity Series. The presale price is such a bargain. But I am concerned that as I get further along in my pregnancy, I may not be able to do them. (IMax2, Boot Camp) And while I ultimately want them anyhow, I...

Just an idea--I could be way off base-- Maybe it isn't so much that he doesn't WANT to have a baby. But maybe as the man, he is concerned about failing to properly care for it. For example, if you guys are just making it in the money scene, maybe he is afraid he won't be able to afford one. Or...

No suggestions, but I'll commiserate. Snoring is terrible--this one weekend we went skiing with some friends, shared a room, and spent the night. The guy snored so loud. It was obnoxious even! My husband and I couldn't sleep the majority of the night. There was just no blocking it out. His wife...

Sandi, Wow! What a tough couple of weeks. I am really sorry to hear your grandpa died. I like to think he lead a long fulfilling life and was at peace with the idea of death. Seems some people are. I hope your kids took it ok, too. I wonder if the stress of his death lowered your immune system...

Thank you everyone! You have made me feel better or more tolerant of the extra weight. Don't ya' just love this forum? --Gina

Very commendable that you are eating healthy. I do mostly. And it is reassuring to hear that despite this, you have still gained. It is evidence that I shouldn't necessarily blame myself. -- Gina

SHORTNESS OF BREATH!!!! I had to train a new co-worker and I got out of breath just talking. I also had some headaches and fatigue, but at work I was working unusually hard and had time pressures, and hence stress. So it is hard to disentangle that from pregnancy. (The fatigue continues.) No...

Becky, I am sorry to hear that you are feeling too tired and distresed (the physical distress of sore ligaments, havy belly) and can't work out so much. I am not as far along as you to have a similar situation, but I know I would be really upset if I couldn't work out as much as I'd like. I...

Amy, I don't have any suggestions since I haven't had this problem much. But I just wanted to write and sympathize. It is very difficult to go through our daily routines when we feel terrible. And to have a toddle who must need your attention! How far along are you? If you are in your first...

I just read this at am-i-pregnant.com: "During the first three months you will probably gain approximately 2-4lbs. Of this, only 1.7oz will be your baby. The rest is made up of the baby's support system (amniotic fluid and placenta), your enlarged uterus and breasts and your increased blood...

Did any of you gain weight in the first trimester? If so, do you feel like you were eating poorly? I mentioned in a different post that I feel like I have been eating a lot. Mostly, but not always healthy or low fat. I'm afraid it has caught up with me. I think I gained two pounds. My scale is...

I wonder if he likes the music too. I think CTX has the best music. I just love it! Good luck on those last few pounds. They'll come off, just keep up the Cathe. --Gina

Congratulations! She does look really sweet! Thanks for the pictures. I assume you are both doing great. "Carlie Rae" is a nice name. --Gina

Fitnik, I am really sorry that you have to experience this. Bad enough to want to eat big plates of pasta or loads of chocolate ... but chalk/baby powder. That, you really shouldn't give in to. I've certainly heard of this, and am pretty sure you are not going mad. Although I can imagine that...

Congratulations Becky! I am happy you and Reese are doing well! And isn't is sweet of you to think of us and wish us well too? (me being one of the newly pregnants.) I am very inspired to hear that you did Rhythmic Step the day before labor. Sounds like something I'd try! And to be back to more...

Lori! I just have to laugh because aren't you the Lori people are all clamoring to for info on the other discussion boards! I am hardly an expert on this and am only 10 or 11 weeks pregnant myself. At first I became soooo short of breath and my heart rate rose very quickly. Both have gotten a...

You do not sound selfish or vain. I think it is safe to say that darn everybody worries about being fat these days, pregnant or not. I am certainly worried about gaining weight since we can't think about losing it until after the baby is born. So don't feel bad about feeling this concern. So...

Whew, thank goodness. I am so happy for you! Gina

Well, wouldn't you know it --- I just ordered the book yesterday. I ordered the "Exercising through you pregnancy" book by Dr. Clapp, not "Fit to Deliver" based on reviews. But I will definitely keep this web site in mind. Thanks! Gina

One of the books I bought is "The baby Name Survey Book: What people think about your baby's name." The authors sent out surveys to a "[US]nationally representative sample of men and women of all ages from urban, suburban, and rural locations in all 50 states." The mailing reached 200,000...
