Fibroids Hi there, They are basically muscular tissue that seem to grow at will and are "fed" by any blood supply to the uterus. The first I'd heard of mine was when I went in for my scan last week! They are non cancerous and cannot be removed in women of child bearing age as they can bleed...

What great news! You must be so relieved - and a boy! Best wishes! Your friend in fitness, Fitnik

DH and I went in for a 6 week scan - I have 3 fibroids, 2 large ones, so they're having to monitor the pregnancy very closely. We saw the baby's little heart pounding away and were so relieved. I hope all continues to go well with this pregnancy! Some nausea now although nothing serious - as...

After the initial elation finding out about being pregnant last week, I am now becoming so paranoid about every single twinge! I haven’t really worked out at all since I found out last week as I’m convinced that intense workouts can cause miscarriage, no matter what anyone says to the contrary...

I'm feeling very well - thanks for asking! I am feeling really really well and generally over the moon and excited. I still cannot actually believe I'm pregnant! My DH loves my "enhanced" boobs! He's so nervous yet excited about becoming a father. A part of me is at the same time worried about...

My waist - blimey!! It is truly alarming how quickly fat is accumulating around my waist - yikes ! My stomach was practically concave before I got pregnant and I never had to do any ab work and never gained weight there. Well, my obliques are quickly being covered in a layer of fat - oh joy...

RE: Wonderful news I know - 6 months has seemed like an eternity but I suppose isn’t really when you consider what the average is - we women are very impatient! :-) >Congratulations! And especially exciting after waiting >so long for that baby! > > >Sandi Your friend in fitness, Fitnik

Thank you! Thank you all for your warm wishes! Your friend in fitness, Fitnik

Yes, I’m confused about that too Surely if conception occurs around ovulation time, that’s when you’re pregnant, not the first day of your last period?! So much to learn……. Right back to work now - *sigh* >I think that is soo weird >how they say you count >from the first day of >your last...

First ante natal not till Friday 12th April - oh my! Yup, there's no doubt I'm pregnant but the first ante natal isn't till 12th April !?! Oh well, luckily I come from a family of doctors and my sister is a paediatrician so I'll be seeing her this weekend anyway. I am so excited I can't sit...

Oh my! It's after midnight and I'm wide awake and so excited. I haven't been on any fertility drugs at all and have since done 2 more tests, also strongly positive!! I'm pregnant ! Your friend in fitness, Fitnik

....I'm 99% likely to be pregnant - I simply can't believe it!!! No sign of AF this month whatsoever - nearly a week late now and I can time myself to do second as far as my cycle's concerned. Plus I've done 2 PG tests, both with 2 very bright blue lines. I still don't believe it and am going...

Fast Abs Yes I've seen it many times, the ad is on one of the infomercial channels here in London. I doubt the effective of this device although I've never tried it. To even see your abs you need to have a healthy body fat %!! I know this may be largely due to genes but my abs are absolutely...

LAST EDITED ON Jan-22-02 AT 09:58AM (Est)[p]Thanks for your advice. We just ordered a Tunturi C900 - that really will be the last piece of cardio equipment for a while - we're really really broke now!! You can't beat good equipment for a short intense workout when you're really pushed for time...

I would really welcome your opinions about step machines. At the moment I have a mini stepper which is hydraulic and has dependent pedal movement. It was very cheap (about £20) but has lasted a year without any problem. It loses tension after about 20 mins and needs to "cool down"! DH and I are...

I have no advice to offer as I've never been pregnant but am so so sorry for your loss - hang in there. Your friend in fitness, Fitnik

The treadmill arrives a week tomorrow! Thank you for your advice. DH and I spoke about it in detail last night, did lots of research on the net and have decided to invest in a treadmill! I went to Fitness Network today and tried out several (and got my workout in for today also – whew!) I know...

I know what you're all thinking - not another fitness toy, Fitnik! But.........I really enjoy running and in the past have found it to be the most complete, “catch all” form of exercise for me but have not done any for months. I can only work out in the mornings at 6.30 and it’s just too dark...
