. . . how old are you? I know you just celebrated a birthday last month, so I was curious how old you are. You're in such great shape, and you really inspire me being that you are a mother of two! I am just starting my family (we're due in about two weeks), so I'm striving to be in great...

My little one isn't quite here yet (due date is Sept. 6th), but my husband has already agreed to help me out by making my workout time his "daddy time." He knows that working out is important to me, so he's very willing to help out here. Another option: have you looked into programs like...

Cathe or SNM, I'm sorry if I missed this post somewhere, but will you be putting workout clips on your homepage for the new workouts? Do you happen to have a timeline for that? I'm pretty excited! Thanks for all you do! Chrissy

Hey, ladies, One more week to go before maternity leave! Ahhhh! I love the weekend. The nice thing is that the kids have been pretty nice to me so far! hee hee So far, I've only got 2 workouts in this week, but I don't feel too bad about it. I'm hoping I'll be delivering before I know...

Congrats, Erin! Hurray! I'm also curious as to whether this was your first or not. How long was your labor/delivery? I'm now at 37 weeks, 75% effaced, and 2-3 cm dialated, and sooo ready! My hips, lower back and pelvis are sooooooo sore! My ankles have disappeared, and I have slight...

Hi, ladies, Steph, thank for starting this! I'm sooooo exhausted! I'm 36 weeks (37 on Thursday), and we started back to school this week. Well, us teachers had to go in last week, and I can't believe how these work days are totally wiping me out! It's like the final countdown for me...

I have to agree with the other ladies. It was nothing that you did, or didn't do. I read that many miscarriages are due to genetic defects that are already in the sex cells before conception. I know you will probably keep second guessing yourself anyway, but please don't beat yourself up over...

Cathe looks great! How old did she turn this year? Chrissy

Hey, ladies, I did my workout this morning - hurray! I did the cardio section of Denise Austin's Fit and Firm Pregnancy twice for a total of 40 minutes. I'm happy about that but the entire time, I kept thinking of all the things around the house that I want to change/finish, and it was...

Hi, Mamas, Just decided to start the thread this week. How is everyone doing? I did not workout yesterday (my usual workout day). I was really exhausted for some reason. I've been sleeping in really late lately . . .I know I'm supposed to start getting tired again here, so I'm not worried...

My experience was similar to Steph's. I had a vaginal U/S at 8 weeks to see the heartbeat, but my doctor did not use the doppler until later (15 weeks?). Plus, the first time we listened, we could barely hear the baby's heartbeat because my own heartbeat was drowning it out. It's hard to hear...

Hey, ladies, Steph - I'm doing Denise Austin's Fit and Firm pregnancy. It's REALLY easy compared to Cathe's workouts, but its just enough for me at 34 weeks since I get winded easily, and the extra weight is enough to tire my muscles. Erin - Don't worry about 30 lbs. I am now up 40 lbs...

Hey, all, I had my 34 week appointment yesterday. This is the first time I've been to the doctor and didn't gain ANYTHING! All this time, I've been dreading each weigh-in because I've gained weight every single time! And of course this time I was worried that I DIDN'T gain any weight...

Amy, Do what you can. I had to stop exercising completely my first trimester because I was just so dang sick and tired! I remember breaking down and crying to my husband several times about how I was so sick and tired of being sick and tired. Right around weeks 14-15, I suddenly started...

Hey, Steph, Month 6 was my biggest weight gaining month - 10 lbs!!! Another lady that I know did the same thing at 6 months - must be a major growth month or something. I also had to find other things to do that were less strenuous for working out. I was walking until all these heat...

Marsha, I wouldn't worry about it. I gained about 15 lbs my first tri, and have I have gained every week since. I think you're body is just going to gain what it needs to to make a healthy baby. I've decided to stop worrying about it because I can always lose it later, and what's important...

Hi, Amy! Wow! That's quite a difference in the number of weeks along that you thought you were! Have you started feeling sick or anything lately? I'm still working out 4 days/week, mostly to Denise Austin's Fit and Firm Pregnancy, and sometimes my Yoga Pregnancy DVDs. I've been soooo...

Hi, Erin, I am 33 weeks (almost 34), so I'm right there with you on some of those symptoms! As for the heartburn, I find that tums, milk and Zantac really work. Especially the Zantac. It was approved by my doc. I also sleep propped up with about 5 pillows at night so the acid rolls back...

Hi, Amy! I'm glad you started this thread - I keep forgetting. Hah! Yet another sign of pregnancy . . . I think it's a good thing that you're feeling sick even though that sounds weird. I was so sick my first trimester, but my doctor and friends all told me that it was a good sign...

Hello, all! I'm 32 and 32 weeks along with my first, so you aren't old at all!!!!!! I figure I'll be around 35-36 when we try for our second. I think a lot more women are getting pregnant in their 30s now a days. I'm working out to Denise Austin, Crunch and Rainbeau Mars right now. Most...
