    1st tri cardio gasping for breath

    Yes, that is what I am doing--taking breaks to drink water and catch my breath. Speaking of water, I know I don't ever drink enough of it, but boy do I feel aware of it now. My mouth gets dry and tastes awful! Gina

    1st trimester moms - who are we?

    It seems we are all doing a pretty good job of checking in already! I am 33 and manage research projects. (That's all I'm saying since I am not public yet and friends of mine know I LOVE Cathe! I have passed out her 2001 catalogs to those who exercise!) Gina

    What are your food cravings & aversions?

    None yet, but again, maybe is too early for me at a mere 2 fetal weeks. When not pregnant, I would ocassionaly feel the need to eat something with kethcup. (a hamburger or scrambled eggs usually did it) Sort of wierd huh? Lack of Vitamin C maybe? Gina

    Any 1st trimester moms-to-be here?

    I haven't felt sick yet. But maybe it is too early for me at only 2 weeks. Then again, I never would have guessed such a puny amount of cardio would leave me winded! Gina

    caffeine

    RE: Caffeine & Artificial Sweeteners That is the same site where I got my original info on aspartame and caffeine! What a coincidence. I thought your end note was going to say "Happy Gasping"!

    Protein powder

    Do you remember what brand you used? I could ask my doctor about it when I ask about my usual brand. Gina

    Any 1st trimester moms-to-be here?

    RE: Going Public! By 2 weeks, I mean 2 fetal weeks. I swear I felt the egg implant 2 weeks ago. Since my menstrual cycle is so long, up to 5 1/2 weeks, not 4, I feel that counting gestational weeks is misleading. But what do I know about all of this yet????? Not enough that's for sure! I have...

    weight training

    Below I pasted in a post Cathe wrote to Emilia in a thread called "New Here and Trying to Get Pregnant" (or something close to that). It is still a new thread and still appears on the main thread page. You may want to check it out. Does your gyn deliver babies? If not, you may want to find one...

    Protein powder

    So has anyone continued to use a protein powder while pregnant? I typically drink Dave Draper's Bomber Blend each day. *I* feel 100% confident that he doesn't put anything 'bad' in his powder. I know him and his wife and trust them. But my husband feels like whey protein and calcium caseinate...

    caffeine

    RE: Caffeine & Artificial Sweeteners You guys are so great!!! I am glad to hear others drink some coffee. But I will avoid it before exercise. Warm water with lemon, huh? And I will try and get some organic decaf. Don't really care for pesticides! I thought aspartame was ok and that...

    1st tri cardio gasping for breath

    Thank you! That was very clear. I am going to print it out and show my husband! I have been working out for 13 years, 5 with Cathe, and can't posibly imagine NOT exercising. I was even short of breath talking (on and on for training) to a new co-worker! Gina

    1st tri cardio gasping for breath

    Also, on the subject of gasping for breath... I also did some PS legs this morning and had to really pause the vcr and let my heart rate come down before I could start another set. And I was lifting a tad bit light for me! How can people keep up their typical weight routines if this gasping...

    caffeine

    I am only 2 fetal weeks pregnant. I read somewhere that it is ok to have 2 drinks day with caffeine in it. In a previous post I just mentioned how easily I was gasping for breath. Do you think this could have been related to the incredibly weak cup of coffee I had 30 minutes prior to...

    1st tri cardio gasping for breath

    I am only 2 fetal weeks pregnant. (I have tested positive twice and missed my period.) I feel like I get out of breath so easily! Is this possible so early or do you think it is all in my head? Cathe and Sheila say that we should be able to say 2-5 word sentences and not be gasping for breath...

    Any 1st trimester moms-to-be here?

    RE: Going Public! I am a first trimester mom-to-be... or let's hope...I am also worried about miscarriage. I am only 2 fetal weeks pregnant! I swear I felt the egg implant. Honestly, it was around the time I figured it should, and I had this feeling that wasn't exactly cramp like, but was...
