Congratulations! I'm almost 3 months along with our first. My flat stomach disappeared literally overnight with this pregnancy although I haven't gained weight elsewhere - go figure! Oh, my boobs are also bigger so some of my shirts (slim fit) don't fit anymore. I am loving being pg. Best of...

CONGRATULATIONS!! I'm nearly 3 months along with our first and wanted to congratulate you - how exciting! I have no advice to offer re working out/ eating whilst pregnant I'm afraid - severe nausea this week has been my form of weight control :( Congratulations again - and make sure you...

No problem! >This has NOTHING to do with >your post, but I must >ask for your advise on >something travel related. > >My father LOVES anything to do >with the British, and I >think I've finally talked him >into traveling to the British >Isles. Where does he >begin when he gets over...

This has been such a supportive forum to me over the last few months yet I don’t feel I know much about many of you ! If you wouldn’t mind, could you introduce yourselves? I would also be interested to hear from mothers who are not currently pregnant but have words of advice - how about...

RE: What an auspicious due date! It is amazing just how much competition there is in this whole area! There is no such thing as a 2nd class birth, pregnancy or conception yet time and time again I’ve heard people imply that there’s some sort of hierarchy for each. My neighbour just had a baby...

Take it easy! I’m a bit of a hypocrite though as I am only 10 weeks along and am already having nightmares about losing post pregnancy weight and haven’t gained much at all so far- go figure! I’ve worked out that if I did indeed only have 30 mins a day to work out 4 days a week, I would do 2...

Thanks so much girls! I can always really on you wonderful ladies for support and impartial, honest advice. Hazel - I am feeling really well - thanks for asking - very energetic etc.. and little/no nausea. I’m nearly 10 weeks along now! Tchersue - lol about borrowing my legs! I have been...

I am slowly reaching my limit as far as people’s negativity concerning my pregnancy. Again, it’s always comments from certain people close to me that I consider to be friends that really grate on my nerves. I was over at our neighbours’ over the weekend and the husband was being so negative...

What a cutie! Your little one's adorable - congratulations again!! Your friend in fitness, Fitnik

RE: One more member in the club! The only advice was to tone down my cardio - before getting pg, I was running 5 miles a day and doing tough intervals where my heart rate got as high as 185 bpm!! Other than that, just the usual guidelines eg talk test for cardio, don't over do the weights, lots...

A very big hug from London I just wanted to say your post touched me and that I'm praying for you. God bless. Your friend in fitness, Fitnik

Join the club!! I also have fibroids - and big ones! They are very common indeed and shouldn't affect the baby - in fact they affect conception more than anything else - bon chance! Your friend in fitness, Fitnik

RE: This really takes the biscuit QUOTE: “Fitnik - Now that you are pregnant, nothing is sacred! Everyone you meet on the street is going to take it upon themselves to give you advice, tell you their horror story, and make any comment on their minds about how you look, what you should be doing...

Handling insensitive comments It does depend on who’s made the comment - if it’s someone I hardly know, I’m really bitchy and catty right back and/or give that person a really filthy look or just stare them down. If it’s a close friend, I’ll not laugh/respond to the comment and I’ll let them...

This really takes the biscuit One of the most insensitive thing a so-called friend of mine said to me was, after I told her recently that DH and I were trying to conceive, she said I shouldn’t get my hopes up about conceiving quickly and that it takes at least 18 months for the first one (even...

Congratulations Cathe! You must be so happy and relieved! I've still got 7 months to go - can't wait for the pictures of little Kyle. Get lots of rest, won't you? Your friend in fitness, Fitnik

Too tired to even think of workouts!! I am incredibly tired ALL THE TIME and the last thing on my mind is working out!! I feel no guilt whatsoever as I know the little one is taking up a lot of mummy's resources right now. My job alone is demanding so something has to give. Do please pace...

DH and I are slowly telling family members that we are expecting. My mum has known for ages and was thrilled and excited when I told her. My infamous MIL was also thrilled when we told her - no surprises there. My father, however, was so cool about the news, almost to the point of being...

Yes - the same Fitnik! I am indeed the same Fitnik from the FF. I also miss it although people were getting very p'od about those faulty kits!! Take care ! >I think I recognize your name >from the firm forum. >Am I right? >I miss that forum these days. > Someone mentioned that they...

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Your friend in fitness, Fitnik
