I'm so excited too!!! But, isn't Feb 1st a Wednesday (not a Friday)?

I agree - hopefully the ENT can do the Epley manuver for you or at least teach you how to do it. Or look up online how to do it and try it out before your appointment - the worst that could happen is that you won't get rid of your vertigo. The biggest key to doing it is lying down as FAST as...

I've been completely dairy free for a couple of months now. I'm breastfeeding and I suspect my baby has a milk protein sensitivity. At first it was a little tough because I was used to getting a lot of my daily protein from cheese and greek yogurt. I had to adjust my diet and eat more...

If it continues, I'd find a physical therapist who specializes in vestibular rehab. If it's true vertigo, then the room will be spinning. The Epley manuver works for most people with BPPV because most of the time the "rocks" are in the anterior or posterior canals. However, they are sometimes...

I'm 27 and started with Cathe in 2005 (at 21) after seeing her on FitTv - I think it was Legs and Glutes. My first dvd purchase was Hardcore Extreme. I'd never done step before that so learning the routines was a challenge, but I felt so accomplished when I did! Every time I buy another...

Well, I already had acne prior to getting pregnant, but pregnancy made it really really bad. The only thing that works for me is Paula's Choice BHA liquid. I probably shouldn't be using it though since it's Category "C" and there's a lot of info on the internet about not using it during...

Liann, Sometimes I think that early m/cs or chemicals are more common than we think. Those of us who know exactly when we ovulated are probably testing earlier than someone who realizes her period is a week late, KWIM? I had lost 4 in a row and had all the testing done and nothing really came...

Thanks so much Mel! I haven't been on here much due to "all day" sickness, which is finally letting up somewhat. Thankfully the baby is growing just fine. We're having a BOY, due 8-13-11.:D I am so thankful and blessed to be at this point! How is baby Evan doing? Did nursing ever get any...

Thanks Liann! No, I had no special instructions before the test. I had just eaten lunch which did include a Chobani pomegranate flavored yogurt. When I was told that I failed, I asked the nurse if it mattered that I had just eaten, and she said absolutely not, that it's good to eat...

I recently found out that I failed my 1 hr glucose test and was so surprised. Now I'm scheduled for the 3 hr test next Tuesday, and I can't help but stress out. I had gained 10 lbs total at my 25 week appt, which put me at 105 lbs, and I'm still exercising with Cathe (though not nearly the...

You all are enabling me to get to Booty Barre dvd! Anyway, I just got the Xtend Barre workout and did it this weekend for the first time. Overall I really liked it. The upper body stuff reminded me of Tracey Effinger's Squeeze and only seemed to hit on the shoulders and triceps. The barre...

Melanie, Congratulations!!! It sounded like you had a long and rough labor but I'm glad everyone made it through okay! I can't wait to see some pictures!!

Hi Everyone, I'm hoping to be able to check in with you all as long as this little bean sticks. I'm super cautious after 4 miscarriages, but last week we saw a strong heart beat and all looked well. I'm about 7 weeks now and "morning"/ all day sickness has hit me hard, so workouts have been...

Low intensity for me has been mostly yoga. My favorites are currently Rodney Yee and Bryan Kest. I have Shiva Rea's Shakti but the pausing between each segment drives me nuts.:( Elle, which Rodney Yee dvds do you have? I just got one that has some head/handstands and it's a lot of fun. I...

Karie and Elle, I worry about becoming a pile of mush too. How long have you been doing the lower intensity stuff for? How (if at all) has your aerobic endurance and functional strength changed? I'm worried about my cardiac capacity suffering too. I have to say though that I have more...

Karie, I've been doing lower intensity workouts for the past few weeks: power yoga, light jogs, and circuits here and there. I have also found that I don't have NEAR the appetite that I did when I was lifting heavy and doing higher intensity cardios. I searched the forums prior to deciding on...

Thanks for your response, Jean!

Melissa, I'm also a physical therapist and I definitely couldn't imagine doing anything else! My class was the last one to graduate with a Masters before they changed the program to a Doctorate. It was 4 years of undergrad to get in all the pre-recs, then 2.5 years of the actual PT program...

Sorry if I missed this somewhere, but does anyone have the info about when we need to call Rapid Rover to reserve a ride from/to the airport? I remember it being something like 24 hrs in advance last year, but I'm not sure. TIA!

Taurus1, I agree that TTC/pregnancy does become all consuming. I paused my FertilityFriend account and have even stopped writing in my journal, since all I wrote about was waiting to ovulate or waiting to test. Blech. Did you have any tests done after your miscarriages? My OB's office said...
