I took my Shaklee multi-vitamin my whole pregnancy. I found that most other prenatals are synthetic or my friends reported feeling "gross" on them. My doctor looked at what was in my normal multi and said that it looked better than most "prenatal" ones. Remember, you need the folic acid in...

Tops for those "larger on top" Hi Cathe! Glad to hear this news. I am a nursing mother and would love for you to have some tops that we can wear with our supportive bras. I guess I mean that "strappy" tops are no longer an option for me with your workouts! What about maternity anything...

Hello ladies! I am just wondering how all of you are doing with your c-section "pooches"?! Mine is still there (sometimes more obvious than others) and I'm getting bored of my abdominal routines. What are you all doing to target that area? Is it working? Is it hopeless? I'm sure it's not...

My daughter is almost 5 months old (I can't believe it!) and I am still solely nursing and I THINK I got my period on January 25th. Something lasted a few days and I don't think it was that I over exerted myself. I'll just wait until February 25th;-) to see if this is the case. On the on hand...

Hey Storm2! I was due on 9/9/02 and delivered on 9/14/02. I taught BodyPUMP classes all through my pregnancy and my last class was on 9/12/02. I was to teach on 9/14 at 7:45 am but my water broke at 2:06 am! I also know my due date was accurate because my pregnancy was very planned, so I...

Post on FitMoms? Hi LuvCardio! I justed wanted to suggest that you post this on the Fitmoms pregnancy forum too. Cathe checks that as does Sheila Watkins and some of her other certified perinatal instructors. You should be able to get a lot of great information on preconceptual fitness as...

Was supposed to have a homebirth... Hey Lisa! My little "plan" wound up way off base as I ended up having a c-section (my little Olivia had the cord around her neck two times!!) Anyhoo,BEFORE I knew I was going to need a c-section I was moved to the hospital. Because I did not anticipate...

Hi fitoned! I just bought all my maternity workout wear at either TJ Maxx/Marshall's (for tops) and Motherhood Maternity Outlet for all else. I was personaly APPALLED at the "price gauging" I felt others did for just a little more material. I used mine for my whole pregnancy, teaching 4-6...

ooppss! I meant to write "FRONT" clasp in the first paragraph of my other e-mail!

Hey there Beets! Ditto to what tchersue said about the underwires at motherhood maternity. I must say that though they poke me in the armpits, I do like two I bought with a from snap as opposed to hooks up on the strap. I also have two that I got from Target that worked pretty well too. I...

Hi Jonahsmom! I'm a certified fitness instructor and am also taking Sheila's homestudy course. But...I come to you as someone who had a c-section 4 months ago... Ditto tchersue's feedback. I have a physical therapist in my BodyPUMP class who gave birth a week before me and she told me that...

Hello! Hi Liz! Olivia turns 16 weeks tomorrow and is just a chunk! I haven't weighed myself yet but I have been in my "normal" clothes for about a month YET, I still have a small c-section "pooch" that I'm trying to get rid of. Also, I still having some problems with diastasis...

RE: 14" benchstep - Mini-step? Hey biddledj! I'm not Cathe (as we all say!!!...) but it sounds like you are talking about the "mini-step". If you scroll down this titles of e-mails, you'll see the SNM has told us that The Step Co. that makes the Original Step will start to sell this product...
