Mmmm. Grilled cheese sounds pretty good right about now!

I do like the name Elijah a lot. It sounds good. Easy to say. But for me personally, it is a bit too biblical, as I am not of particularly strong faith. (I don't think many people have even heard of Asher, let alone associate it with the bible.) I read "Keaghan" with a long "e" sound, as...

Some cravings and aversions have set in. Although, they are not strong. I have wanted to eat sandwiches with cheese (actually cheese in any form), yougurt, and Oodles of Noodles soup (how shameful is the latter?). I have some frozen homemade spaghetti sauce with meat and have no absolutely no...

Did you ever find any answers? I'd be interested in them. I keep wanting to buy the "Fit to Deliver" book, but it seems like every time I am about to, some other expense comes up in its place. But really, I am just a few weeks away from the second trimester and feel I really better get it...

Ever since I found out I am pregnant, I have been thinking about baby names. I bought a few books and have searched numerous web sites. I am finding this really difficult. The names I like tend to be THE most popular names. but I am not sure I want to give my baby the most popular name. The...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! Good luck with the pain and gentle exercises. Gina

That nasty nurse. Doesn't she know we look to our health care providers to make us feel better, not nuts? The month when I got pregnant, I also felt like my period was coming. Gina

SpaceyStacey--its been 5 weeks now. Did you get your period? Did you get a positive test? What is going on? Gina

Hello everyone! Kaz and Charlene, sorry to hear about the vein problems. I imagine they aren't pretty, but do they also hurt? Bleeding usually hurts. Beets, how nasty to hear your baby's limbs are underdevelopped. Should they tell us stuff like this??? I mean, he/she will proably just be...

Hello & Congratulations! Glad you de-lurked. I agree that yoga would be better than nothing. I think it is just good mentally. It helps you feel more healthy and keeps the eating on track! Gina

Oxygen magazine now has a web site. www.oxygenmag.com I just wrote to express my dismay about their printed guidelines. I wrote to the senior fitness editor (or something like that) at [email protected]. Gina

Thank you everyone. And Sheila, I hope you weren't insulted that I asked. I am sure you know that pregnancy, especially the first, can be a scary situation to be in. I am also pretty disgusted with Oxygen. I am also going to write. Gina

I just read in Oxygen magazine--a source I was inclined to trust--an article on pregnancy and exercise. The article says it is stating 2002 ACOG guidelines and it lists the heart rate NOT above 140 rule. But, here, Sheila and/or Cathe says that the ACOG revised this, and above 140 is ok. Has...

Thank you for the additional info!! Gina

My book, "What to Expect When You are Expecting" suggests that women who need to gain weight tip the scale towards "foods that are dense in nutrients and calories--avocados, nuts, and dried fruits, for instance--tha can fill you and your baby out without filling you up too much. And avoid such...

Oh my goodness! Whatever in the world are you talking about???? I better quit procrastinating on ordering that pregnancy exercise book! Gina

Fooloafatook, about your showing a bit--I read in my book that sometimes people get a little distended or bloated when they are pregnant. Maybe this it is and not your uterus or baby or whatever else is going to happen to our bodies! It would explain the same weight thing. I so worry about...

"I'm not sure she's ever seen BodyMax though"... I had to laugh!!!

RE: Don't believe the scare tactics I am also very sorry to hear about your Dec. miscarriage. I am hapy things are going better this time. Gina

Thanks guys. Just when I was starting to feel more comfortable working out (i.e. less anxious) my in-laws --who we just told last night--got concerend about my exercising and warned me to lighten up. (So early I know, but they have been so eager...)They believe the impact could cause a...
