I am so sorry, Rae! I will pray for you also. My friend just went through a M/C and she said she preferred to have the procedure because she couldn't stand the thought of losing her baby over a period of a week. Please keep us updated. I think it is natural to want to get pregnant again -...

Hi, ladies!!! I didn't workout this morning. I woke up sooo exhausted! I must not have slept as well as I thought. I had my 32 week appointment today. I can't believe how close I am!!!! We're having a girl. Yippeeee!!!! DH surprised me with homemade waffles this morning. He rarely...

Hi, Annette! I hear ya! I am in the same boat, so I think it is pretty normal. I am 31 weeks, and have been struggling since the first tri with my body image. Lately I have been looking at old pictures of myself when my body was thin and strong. I am definitely far from it, but I have to...

Hi, M-T-Bs! Just thought I'd start our thread today since I didn't see a new one. How's everyone doing on the eating and exercising front? I totally blew the eating this morning. I know I'm supposed to eat a "little" more as a preggo, but I ate SO MUCH this morning. I was STARVED...

I have definitely lost my muscle tone - and I AM still using weights. I think my body is retaining a bunch of water, and the futher along I get, the more "balloon-y" my body seems to be getting. My first trimester, I wanted to eat all the time to help with my morning sickness, and like you, I...

Hi, RG, Wow! Congrats! I don't have an answer for you, but I'm sure others will. I'm really curious as to how you lost those 50 lbs???? Please share your secrets! Chrissy

I would like to be part of the check-in! I'm 31 weeks, so I'm almost to the end, but I'd still love to check in. This is my first, so I still have lots of questions!!! You are lucky because you can still workout in your first tri. I also had horrible MS, so I couldn't workout at all...

I'm due in 12 weeks, and we found out at 22 weeks. We decided from the start that we wanted to know, and I don't regret it. It has given a personality to my little kicker! We're having a girl, and it is really fun for family members to know ahead of time. People have donated all kinds of...

. . .did you REALLY gain? I have read the books, and they all suggest 25-35 lbs, but I'm already up about 30 lbs and I have 12 weeks to go!!!! Eeek! How much weight did you gain when you got pregnant? How much did you lose in delivery? This is my first, and I'm not sure what to expect...

Do you have an mp3 player or ipod? If so, you could also download some workouts from cardiocoach.com or itrain.com. Chrissy

Absolutely! Just make sure you listen to your body and don't overdo it. I was actually so sick my first trimester that I gave up working out all together. I picked it back up 2nd trimester, but I still listen to my body. You may find that you tire a lot quicker than before. Right now, I'm...

Thank you, both! That definitely boosts my hopes. I know this is such a mental thing with me, and I know deep down that my body is doing an amazing thing right now, so of COURSE its going to be hard on my body. Plus I know deep down that I CAN lose it all and more if I want after baby. I...

Hi, Ann, I'm so sorry you are suffering. I had morning sickness, but it wasn't extreme by any means, and now that I'm in my 6th month, I no longer suffer from it. I DO have a friend who had extreme morning sickness the entire pregnancy. She talked to her doctor about it, and he prescribed...

Hi, ladies, I'm currently 6 months pregnant (almost 7), and some days I'm totally amazed with my body because I'm helping to grow another human being!!!! Whoa! And some days, I'm depressed with my body image because I'm much larger than I used to be . . . So . . . at the moment, I'm just...

Hi, Cathe and fans, Did I miss an announcement about new workouts coming out? I hear people talking about a 4-day split series???? Chrissy

Oh thank you so much for your stories. After visiting several pregnancy sites and reading about mothers on those sites who are eating tons of fruits and veggies and whole grains, I started wondering if there was something wrong with me since I am almost REPULSED by those foods right now. I...

Hi, ladies, Well, I'm a little past 7 weeks now, and I have not been feeling well. Most food makes me sick - even thinking about it makes me sick. When I DO eat, all I want is junk food, and I have NO desire to cook food. I normally LOVE cooking and looking through food magazines for fresh...

I can't believe it! Finally! It took us about 6 months, but we did it. I'm so happy and so scared at the same time. Now we need to tell our families. When did you all tell your families? We will wait to tell our friends at about 3 months, but I just feel family is a little different ...

I'll bump for ya! I'd love to hear what Cathe says about this one too! Chrissy

Reba, Yes, courts are built different than concrete. Even though they are hard, there is a little "give" to that flooring. Runner's World rated concrete the WORST surface to run on. In fact, they recommend running on grass before running on asphalt and asphalt before running on concrete...
