Hi Everyone! I have a few questions and also just wanted to get some stories from those of you working out in your 3rd trimester. Currently, I am almost 31 weeks. My first questions have to do with weight training. I am wondering whether I should be eliminating certin moves because of my belly...

Hi Hazel, I agree with what Erica said about the amnio being a very personal decision. Also that it really does come down to what you would do with the information you got from the amnio. Since you asked how people came to their decisions I will share mine with you as well. I am also in the...

Hi Amanda, I think Erica gave you some great advice already so I will just try to add a little. When I was pregnant with my son I took childbirth classes from a strong advocate for natural birth and using birth plans. I made my plan up and took it with me. Unfortunately, pretty much everything...

Congratulations Tricia!! What a great suprise :-) Have fun shopping for all the "stuff" and get lots of rest! Welcome :-) Alison

The most consistant cravings I have are for grapefruit and pudding (especially butterscotch - the kind you cook not instant). I guess I should be thankful that at least one of those items is super healthy! :-) Alison

About two years ago I decided it was time to get myself back in shape. I had started with walking/jogging but quickly realized that I was going to get bored if I did that exclusively. Still I had no idea what to do. One day I treated myself to a pedicure at a spa in Southern New Jersey (not...

Congratulations Angela! I loved reading your post and hearing the happy ending. Isn't it amazing that no matter how hard the birth can be we would do it all over again in a heartbeat. I hope you are feeling better now and that little Nathan is doing great too. Babies are the most amazing...

I just wanted to offer my congratulations also! I think her name is absolutely beautiful just as I am sure she is :-) I hope you are enjoying every minute with her. Alison

Once again Iam a little slow in responding! I used to read the boards every night. Now that I am well into this pregnancy I get so much more tired at night and seemed to have traded much of the little free time I had in for getting extra sleep. :-tired Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for...

It's another boy! This is quite a surprise to me since I really thought I was having a girl this time. However, I am so happy that my son gets to have a little brother! The ultrasound was amazing and our little guy was so cute grabbing his foot with his hand :-) We don't have a name yet:-(...
