As everyone else has said, women show differently, and even the same woman can show differently during different pregnancies, the typical scenario being showing much earlier on subsequent pregnancies than for the first. I do think there are sort of 3 timeframes for starting to show. The...

I should add that I'm 38 weeks and 3 days. That's why they haven't tried to move things along w/Pitocin sooner.

Hello, everyone - Wondering if anyone here has experienced what is called prodromal labor or knows someone who has experienced it. It's not false labor but is instead real labor that doesn't progress to active labor within typical timeframes. Tomorrow marks the two-week point of early...

RE: Ok, this whole food thing is getting really annoyin... Hang in there... the second trimester is so much better. Gives you time to gear up for the third trimester, which is no picnic again, but in a totally different way. Every person is different, but something that helped me feel a...

"But...I just saw my sister-in-law for the first time at 25 weeks, and while everyone else can't believe how great I look for 6 months and gives me compliments, she told her friends that she "couldn't wait to see how fat I am because I used to be so ripped." " Oh, Steph, your sister-in-law...

I've been giggling for the past few minutes thinking about the "sophistication" of a Disney cruise. I live two minutes away from a cruiseship port and have seen a lot of Disney ships. Disney is wonderful, and they do a great job on their cruises, from what I hear, but sophisticated is not a...

Joined this thread a little late, but wanted to throw in my two cents because my husband and I were married last year in a semi-destination wedding. It was a second marriage for both of us, not that it really matters, I suppose. Okay, here is my take on things, with the caveat that there...

As long as you and the baby are healthy, try not to worry too much about the weight gain. I'm almost 37 weeks right now and have found that, for me, pregnancy has been a great lesson in what you can control and what you can't. I, too, gained weight early and gained it in places that I wasn't...

Had to second the Laura Mercier recommendation. I'm 39 but have several sisters, one of whom is 48. We use Laura Mercier foundation and it is FABULOUS. All of her makeup is great, but the foundation and loose powder are, IMO, the best anywhere. When I had my makeup done for my wedding...

Diva - Huge congratulations to you for quitting smoking! What an accomplishment. You have accomplished the single best thing you can do for your health, and you should be so proud of yourself. Way to go! I have seven brothers and sisters, several of whom offer a constant stream of...

I've done The Firm workouts since the print ads for Volume 1, when the tapes were $49.95 each. In my opinion, the early volumes were really good, but they've been hit or miss ever since. When I started doing Cathe videos approximately 5 years ago, I noticed much greater cardio and strength...
