    EXTREME morning sickness

    Hi, I'm so sorry you're going through this. My sister and cousin were in the same situation in that they had severe morning sickness 24/7 for their entire pregnancies. Their doctors prescribed some special anti-emetics which really helped. Without the medication, they had to go to the...

    lunges and plie squats -- okay when pregnant?

    Thanks for the help, Erica H, Karen and lovetostep! I guess if lunges and plies are putting extra pressure on the joint and hurting, I should stop doing them. Mary

    lunges and plie squats -- okay when pregnant?

    Hi, I am 23 weeks pregnant. Lately, when I do lunges or plie squats I get an achy pain in the pubic area. I have never had this type of thing when I was not pregnant or newly post partum. Has anyone else experienced something like this? Is it okay to do lunges and plies when you are...

    Amniocentesis

    Hi, Other people have given good advice. I'd just like to reply by relating my personal experience. I had a neuchal translucency test with my first pregnancy (age 34). As it indicated our chances of having a chromosomally normal child were 1 in 1000 (as opposed to 1 in 380 based on my age...

    need help with sleep issue!!

    Hi, I'm sorry to hear about what's happening and I feel your pain. Our daughter (now three) didn't sleep through the night until I stopped breastfeeding at 12 months. One thing that helped was putting her in her own room and having my husband go to her if she really cried. If I went...

    So optimistic about Zoloft...letdown again!

    Hi, Sorry for the late reply. Are you sleeping well when you sleep? The reason I'm asking is that sleep disturbances are a side effect of some SSRIs, (Prozac for one) so although you feel dead-tired all the time and maybe spend a lot of time in bed, the quality of your sleep as bad and you...

    Please Help Me - In major (emotional) pain..

    Hi Amyrobin, It's a platitude, but you can't change what other people do, only what you do. I think your (ex-)boyfriend is really admirable to be so honest with you. You and he just don't want the same things from the relationship; he has recognized that, and he is getting out of the way...

    Stay at home mom vs. working mom.....

    This is certainly an interesting thread to read! I guess I should say a bit more about Sweden, because I think I've given sort of a warped impression. >I know Sweden subsidizes daycare but I wish the government >would create programs that do what is best for kids, that is, >to encourage...

    Supersets/PushPull DVD problem

    I can't use the premixes on this DVD. They start with something nonsensical like the stretch, and then I end up at the Mix N'Match menu. The Workout Blender and Mix N'Match functions don't seem to work either--completely different selections from the ones I enter get played. The other DVDs in...

    Clothing sizes

    I think sizing has gotten bigger in bottoms and stayed the same/gotten smaller in tops. I recently went shopping and had to buy size 6 or 8 in trousers/skirts whereas my 10-year-old size 12s are just a little on the loose side. When it came to new shirts and especially sweaters, though, I found...

    RE: Poll: Is your body worse, better, or the same after... Better, much better! 9 months post partum I'm 30 pounds lighter than I was before I got pregnant. I now weigh the same as I did in my fitness instructor days in college. I was already very active pre-pregnancy and I still can't...

    fitness frustrations - looking for company!

    Hi! It's such a relief to find this forum and this thread. I'm in my 7th week of my first pregnancy, and I feel like I have the flu. I have no energy, have aches and pains, and feel bloated and queasy or downright nauseous most of the time. It's definitely not easy to exercise when you feel you...
