Hi all. I am curious if anyone here has tried Kimberly's new workout, Amplify Your Strnegth From Within. I am trying to determine if this is something that would interest me. The 60 second clip on collagevideo.com doesn't show much. Is this workout basically a yoga type program? Would you...

Hi ladies. I am curious if any of you can recommend some good websites with info on infant care, such as forums or articles on finding the right formula for your newborn, how to get a newborn to sleep through the night, etc. Basically I am looking for websites for new moms where you can help...

Thanks for clarifying, Lori. You are lucky to live in Canada and be able to take an entire year long maternity leave. I am sorry things got a bit screwed up with the sick leave and all, but you had a good long time off. Most women here in the US only get 6-12 weeks maternity leave, and...

>Hi Erin, > >I emailed you. Ann Marie Hi Ann Marie, I sent you a reply.

Hi everyone. For all the mamas-to-be here, I have an offer. I just had my son about 3 weeks ago and have two pregnancy workouts on DVD that I am wanting to get rid of. I do not plan on having a third child, so I don't need them. And if they can be of use to someone else, I would rather that...

Hi Stacey and Lori. Thanks for the warm welcome and congratulations. It is very hard to work out when you are losing sleep. And you're right that it takes time and patience to lose the baby weight, but I have never been a patient person at all so it's doubly hard for me. I will just have to...

Hi ladies! I am 3 weeks postpartum now and anxious to get back in shape. My son Jeremy is doing well, and sleeps a lot still. Generally, I am able to get a workout in while he naps on the couch behind me on his boppy pillow. Though one day this week he woke up multiple times, interrupting...

Thanks for the congratulations, Chrissy. And to answer both you and Steph's question, no, this is not my first child. I have an almost 5 year old son named Ethan. He loves his little brother Jeremy and has been quite the helper. :) My labor with Jeremy was only 6 hours or so, and I went...

I also agree that LIC and C&W are good third semester workouts. I also enjoyed HSC, LM (without the blasts), and PP/SS. As for non-Cathe workouts, I loved Preggi Bellies the most. It has a short cardio section on the stability ball and easy weight work. I also did Lindsay Brin's Second...

Thanks so much, Steph! I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well and you will be blessed with a quick labor like I was. :)

Trish and Stacey, thanks for the warm welcome and congratulations! This is a super sweet board and I appreciate both your tips so much. It's very helpful to hear personal stories on how to build back up to exercise after baby. I really want to start back full force and not wait, but it sounds...

Hi everyone. I am new here. I was a member of the the mamas-to-be-thread until last Wednesday, when our second son, Jeremy, was born. He was a very healthy 7 pounds, 10 ounces and 19.4 inches long. I made it to almost 38 weeks, which is really good, considering my first son, Ethan, was...

Hi everyone. I am no longer a mama-to-be, as I had our son Jeremy last Wednesday. He was about two weeks early, but 38 weeks is considered full term, so I made it. :) He was born very, very fast. I barely made it to the hospital in time. We got there at 2:45 pm and he was born at 3:57...

Steph and Chrissy, thanks for the encouraging words and support re: my weight gain so far and my determination to continue exercising. I appreciate this board so much- it gives me encouragement, much needed some days, believe me! Today, I did BM2. But I modified it as such: I only did the...

Hey everyone :) I'll complain about pregnancy weight gain, too. I am loathe to admit it, but I have gained 30 pounds so far. I am about 36 weeks along. I am shocked at the weight gain. Though if forced to admit it, I do eat too much sometimes. It's easy to do when you use the excuse "I...

Hi Chrissy! Thanks for the tips. I also sleep with a pillow between my legs and usually go from one side to the other throughout the night. I don't, however, sleep propped up. I will have to try that. I am not usually able to sleep propped up or sitting up, and have always preferred a...

Annette, I definitely sympathize. No matter how many people tell me not to complain or say that I am "fat," I can't get that word out of my head or my thoughts. I am mostly all belly, which I am very grateful for, but I still feel like my weight gain (30 lbs at 35 weeks) is out of control. I...

I am so sorry for your loss. We will be thinking of you and sending our prayers your way. Hugs, Erin

Hi ladies. Congrats to all and I hope everyone is feeling well. :) I am almost 35 weeks now and am really feeling this pregnancy more than my first. I am so huge now! I have gained nearly 30 pounds and feel like an elephant or something. Lol. I am ready for this to be over in some ways...

Anne, I wish you the best of luck with your pregnancy. I hope all goes well. Manmohini, I would also suggest Cathe's High Step Circuit, Low Max, KPC (with modifications), Push Pull and Supersets. I think it is okay that you continue doing step, as long as you can do it safely and without...
