Hi Erin, When I had my miscarriage, my doctor told me that all of a sudden I would become "a member of the club" -- just wanted to let you know that we understand what you are going through. I don't remember how long I waited to resume exercise, but it was quite some time, 4 weeks atleast...

That explains it I had noticed you seemed to be commenting a little more on this forum lately!!!! Congrats Cathe! You are such an inspiration! Tina

RE: Take care of yourself Tina Sue, I hope you are enjoying this break from the heat. Here in MO (Misery) it is wonderful today. Of course that makes it even more difficult for me to behave myself when I want to be outside very badly. Enjoy the weekend and let us know what happens with the...

Hope you all don't mind, but I felt like starting a check in to hear how everyone is progessing. As of earlier this week I am home on modified bed rest. I am in my 30th week and started having contractions. The dr. gave me meds to stop the contractions and to speed up the baby's lung...

Thanks for all of the advice! I am looking into my options today. I am concerned about how my husband is going to react to the entire labor and delivery. He worries alot and if we can do anything to help ease his concerns, it is well worth it.

Since I am almost 30 weeks now, I probably should have asked this several weeks ago, but I can't decide if I should take the chilbirth education classes offered at the hospital? This is my first child, and I am wondering how helpful the rest of you found these classes to be. Thanks for the...

Candori, Your weekend sounds like a lot of fun. Have a great time with the girls and eat lots of junk food for the rest of us! As for my week, I am approaching 28 weeks and can't believe how quickly it has gone. I did my glucose test this week, but have not heard back on it. I am a little...

Lynn, I don't make a trip to Wal-Mart without buying Shout(literally). I am considering buying some stock in the company! Tina Due 10/22/01

Marisol, I think we will all agree that everybody is different here, and you have listen to your own body. I was apprehensive too, especially because I had miscarried with my first pregnancy last spring. I did not do anything for the first 12 weeks because I had no energy what-so-ever. After...

Lynn, I had a lot of headaches in early pregnancy and my doc told me to drink a half of a Coke (or other caffeinated beverage). I don't usually drink soda otherwise, but it really did help with a lot of my headaches. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the brain fuzziness and...

Bobbi, I have tried lots of different aerobic shoes and because of low arches and some other structural foot problems, I have to have really good shoes. Ryka Evolutions have worked the best for me for aerobics because they have more cushioning in the forefoot than any other shoe I have tried...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-20-01 AT 11:45AM (Est)[p]I am kind of checking in late, but it has been a busy week. I just love reading everybody's posts. It reminds me so much of everything that I have already been through and Sue and Leela are filling me in on what I have to look forward to. Lynn, I...

Ruth, Would you please let us know what you think of it after you have tried it? It doesn't exactly look comfortable. Thanks, Tina

Hello ladies, Don't worry about the junk food! Atleast you can eat something. Eventually, as many of you know, you will get hungry for "everything" which is the point I am at now. I find myself eating more "bad" foods now than in early pregnancy, but I am taking advantage of the summer...

It has been a really loooong time since I posted, but recent career changes have allowed me more time to do the things I enjoy, especially working out. I think a weekly check in is a great idea. I am in my 24th week with my 2nd pregnancy (due 10/22/01), but first child. Having miscarried on...

I have been there too I just miscarried myself about 8 weeks ago. It is very devastating, but I never felt angry towards my friends that were pregnany or that have babies. Right now your friends just need somebody to listen and don't be hurt if you aren't the person that they want to talk...

I just found out that I am 6 weeks pregnant, which would explain the extreme fatigue I have been experiencing. I know that the fatigue will subside, but for now I only see to be able to workout every other day. I need a full day to recover to get up the energy for another workout. My question...
