You are NOT gaining too much weight too fast! Trust me, I gained 10 pounds my first trimester. I felt the same way you do. I found the first trimester hard because you have to accept that you no longer have control of your own body. I'm someone who really loves to eat salads, vegetables and...

Congratulations!

I just had to post and say that I think my 7 month old has a crush on Cathe! It's hysterical, as soon as I start a video and she comes on the screen he stops whatever he's doing and watches! At least it's giving me time to workout! I also have to say that I am finally starting to get rid of...

Oh Boy Jeni, you are not alone! I remember feeling like Ryan would just cry all day if I wasn't holding him! When he was around 5-6 weeks, I would actually wear him a good chunk of the day in a front carrier. It was one of the only places he was happy. It's exhausting and frustrating but, and...

Hi Jeni, I haven't been to this board in a loooonng time! My little boy is 7 months old and doesn't like mommy to have too much computer time. But your post reminded me of my son at 5 1/2 weeks! I breastfed solely for about 4-5 months. Then I started to pump. I was lucky that my son really...

I haven't been here in a while, my 4 month old keeps me pretty busy! But I had the same concerns you do after I gave birth. I agree with everything above; ask your doctor about what you can do after delivery. I am NO expert I can just tell you what I did. I personally started some light...

Sooooo Cute!! I haven't been here in a while, my first is about Kyle's age (born on March 27) and he keeps me very busy! So much work, but soooo much fun!!! Melissa

Hi all! For anyone out there that uses a jogging stroller - how old was your baby when you first put he/she in it? I have a Babytrend jogger and it doesn't seem to have age information on it anywhere. Thanks! Melissa

Hi everyone! I don't get much of a chance to post these days! Ryan is 11 weeks old and doesn't like to give mommy alot of computer time!:D I've been trying to exercise, but Ryan doesn't really give me time yet for videos so I've been doing alot of walking with baby & dog! I can get my video...

I couldn't button my jeans at 9 weeks! Drawstring skirts and pants became my best friends! Congratulations!

Hi! I also haven't posted here in a while but I thought I'd add some ideas from my own experience. I have had anxiety and mild depression issues myself. I actually chose to go the hypnotherapy route, but do whatever you're comfortable with. One thing I would suggest is to practice relaxation...

I haven't been here in a while - I have a one month old now and he doesn't let me get on the computer much! But here I go! My name is Melissa and I am 30 years old; My husband Sean and I have been together for 8 years - married for 4. We live in Massachusetts I've been a Cathe fan for about a...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Congratulations on the birth of your little girl!! I had my son on March 27, so I am right there in that weepy, lack of sleep stage too! It's nice to know it's normal! Good Luck & Enjoy! Melissa

Hi everyone! Just wanted to post (I am the obnoxiuos new mom!) that Ryan was born on March 27 at 5:12 in the morning. It was a long night but the outcome was worth it! He weighed in at 8lbs 1oz, 21" long. Just wanted to say thanks to you all for answering my pregnancy fitness questions. I'm...

Thanks everyone for the information and support! I feel much better now! I think I read too many articles that scare me. Thanks again, Melissa

Hi everyone! I should (hopefully!!) be having my first baby in the next couple of weeks & I am hoping to breastfeed. When I am feeling up to working out again (postpartum), how much time should I allow between a workout and feeding? I read somewhere that you shouldn't breastfeed after a...

Congratulations!!

Hi Myra, I wish I could help. I'm due in a couple of weeks - but I did the Hypnobirthing classes, not the Bradley. I'm not sure how different the methods are - but I did like hypnobirthing. Good Luck, Melissa

Wow, you look great! I'm at 36 weeks right now and ready to go!
