I have just gotten back into doing Cathe videos since I received my STS Cardio DVDs. I've been away for almost 2 years and I'm not in good shape at all. My cardio capacity is terrible. Anyway I'm really looking forward to changing that, mostly with the STS Cardio which I've been doing and they...

I was wondering the same thing. I was pretty disappointed to see that Jai isn't in these workouts. I hope she'll be back.

Thank you for your reply! I'm not excited to use a stepper, but I'm finding that I don't have time to do my Cathe workouts because I have an 8 month old who doesn't want me to do anything but hold him and play with him. When he takes naps I need to clean the house, so I thought maybe I could...

Does anyone have a mini stair stepper? If so what brand and do you like it? Thanks, Amy

Hi Cassandra, I just wanted to say welcome and tell you that I had my first when I was 36. He's 4 1/2 months old now. I have the "Exercising Through Your Pregnancy" book and I really liked it. I also worked out to Cathe, but modified especially towards the end. My favorites were LIC and...

Do you think it would be good post partum, especially if you have a diastasis? Amy

Where did you guys get your splint? I have a diastasis as well and have mostly avoided crunches and I've been doing program 2 from Core Max. I don't know if that's okay or not. I've been wondering what to do as well. I'm 8 weeks post partum. I've seen the splint from Julie Tupler, but was...

I'm interested in a check-in. My baby boy is 8 weeks old today he was born on March 15th, and I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes I can get a workout in all at once, but usually not. I definitely don't get in as much workout time as I would like. Before Conner was born I was looking forward...

Thanks for all the well wishes and sympathy! I have heard rumors that my old doctor was put on bedrest (she's pregnant) so that would explain her sudden leaving before the end of March when she planned on leaving. So I was able to see my new doctor yesterday and I definitely like him...

I'm one week away from my due date and I'm shopping for a new doctor! I'm so frustrated, my doctor told me a while ago that she was moving to California at the end of March and I'm due March 12th so she said she would be there for my delivery. Well a few weeks ago I had an appointment with her...

I'm really getting excited to start working out with Cathe again! I really miss it. I'm 38 weeks and all my energy is spent on going to work and doing a few other things that I need to get done. I have no energy left for working out. I know I will be tired from the new baby, but I'm hoping that...

Congratulations! I know you went through a really tough miscarriage and I'm so happy for you that things are going well! I'm having a boy and I wanted a girl so bad. My husband swore that he didn't care if it was a boy or a girl, but I was so disappointed when I found out he was a boy to the...

Tylenol is safe and ibuprofen is not. I haven't heard about aspirin, my doctor just always mentioned Tylenol. I don't know about antianxiety medication. Are you sleeping at night? My doctor told me I could take Benadryl to help me sleep and it really does help, but you would want to talk to...

I also use Burt's bees mamma bee belly rub. I'm 37 weeks and so far (crossing fingers) I don't have any stretch marks. Up until about a month ago I used it once a day and now most days I use it twice a day. Good luck. Amy

Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences, wow some of you really went through a lot! I kind of just always figured I'd have an epidural, but lately I've been wondering if that's what I really want to do, but I'm due in 4 weeks and obviously he could come sooner so I need to hurry and...

I'm just wondering about people's experiences with pain control vs no pain control during child birth. I'm especially interested in the walking epidural. I'm going to talk to my doctor at my next appointment to see if they offer a walking epidural, but would appreciate hearing anyones's...

Melimcn, I remember for the first 14 or 15 weeks I said the exact same thing, that I hated every minute of being pregnant. I had naseau and depression, but in my 2nd trimester I really started to enjoy it. I suppose in the next few weeks I'll probably get to hate it again as I get more...

Becky, Congratulations on your little girl! Is this your first? This is my first and I'm having a boy. Our due dates are really close! I've only felt my baby have the hiccups a couple of times, but I love how it feels when he's moving around. At least you are exercising. I don't have as...

I was just wondering if anyone else is getting toward the end. I'm due March 12th. The time has gone by so fast I can't believe it! Though I do hear the last month does drag. I'm excited, but I'm going to miss being pregnant (except for the back aches). My baby shower is this Saturday and then...

I don't know about when you're pregnant and nursing at the same time, but when you're pregnant you need about 300 more calories a day than when you're not pregnant and when you're nursing you need about 400 more calories a day. I don't know if you would go for 400 or if you would combine the 2...
