Hi Anna, I think my most useful oil is Lavender - simply because it is so versatile. I always put a drop on the top of our duvet at night, so the smell always reminds me of "sleeeep"!! My favourite oil from a pure indulgence point of view is Rose - the mother nature of all oils in my opinion...

Hi Anna, To answer your q's: 1) Lavender is probably preferable to Myrtle (slightly more relaxing and children usually prefer the smell). One drop is fine for her on a tissue or on the top of her quilt/duvet at night to help her sleep. The amount of essential oil used does have to be...

I went off just about everything in the beginning - even strong smells such as perfume or aftershave made me feel really ill. I finally learned that they key was to force myself to eat something - even if I thought it was going to come straight back up again. If I could keep it down for 10...

Hi Valerie, Sorry to hear you are having tummy upsets - how well I remember those early days of "morning, noon and night sickness"!! I am 31 years old, 23 weeks pregnant with my first, and live in the UK with my wonderful DH (who is completely over-the-moon about becoming a Dad!). I am a...

Hi Gina, Beets has given you a brilliant answer to your question, but just to reassure you further (if you need it!) that this also happened to me. I would get breathless just talking to friends for any length of time, to the point where they would ask if I was ok!! This has settled down now...

Hi Gina, Congraulations on your pregnancy and thanks for including me on the list - even though I am past the first trimester! Most of my friends have already had children or are still single, so it will be nice to share my "first time pregnant" experiences with my fellow pregnant Forum...

RE: Hello Kaz! Hi Fitnik, I sent you an email a few days ago but haven't heard anything - was just a bit concerned that you are ok or that your email address has changed? Hope to hear from you! Kaz XX Today Is The Tomorrow We Worried About Yesterday And All Is Well.

Anna, You are talking to "queen of the blow-out" here! Food has always been the problem for me, so I may not be the best person to ask. Exercise has probably been the only thing that has kept me from being vastly overweight! I was about 2 stone overweight when I fell pregnant (gave up smoking...

Hi Anna, Yes, it was very scary! I didn't realise we would continue to get aftershocks from a relatively small quake. Ah well, at least next time I'll know what it is! I'm glad you've ordered some tapes - MSB & Wedding Vid are good first choices for Cathe workouts! Imax may have frightened...

Hi Melanie, Great story - and good for you!! Sometimes, when you predominantly work-out at home, it's hard to measure your progress against anything but the workouts you are doing (which are usually Cathe workouts - and who can compare to her?!). It's really great when you are in another...

Hi Anna & Babs, We certainly felt it here in Bristol! It woke DH and I up just before 1am and frightened the living daylights out of me (even baby was having a good kick in Mum's tummy, in protest!). We didn't have a clue what it was and went around checking the house over. The idea that it...

Hi Heidi36, I know this workout has been the result of many, many debates and discussions about its toughness! I think you did brilliantly to manage 25 mins the first time through! I've had this one for about 7 months now, and have only previewed it as yet, so you are definitely braver than...

Hi Jillybean! I'd never actually done Bodymax all the way through - until the other day! I'd only done the 2 cardio sections together and had only previewed the upper body section. However, I decided to "tag" it onto the end the other day and boy, was I in for a surprise with the upper body...

Anna, Thanks for the words of support!! So, your boobs grow in the last 10 weeks, eh? Uh oh!! Mine have already gone up 2 cup sizes (and I wasn't small busted to begin with!), so they may well be blotting out the sun by the time I'm ready to deliver! I'm sure everyone will know which kids...

Hi Anna! I purchased Abs & More from Amazon.com about a year ago. It was one of the first abs tapes to move away a little from the standard "let's do thousands of crunches" routine and focuses more on deep abdominal movements and core stabilisation, which I actually prefer to standard ab...

Hi Rockette, Congratulations on your good news! I am past the 1st trimester (currently 23 weeks), but offer my company anyway! This is my first pregnancy, and so far I have managed to work out pretty much all the way so far. I was back to about 2 x per week initially (lots of "morning"...

Hi Anna, Thanks so much for your great advice!! Please don't ever apologise because you think you are writing too much - from my point of view you can never have too much information!! This is all such a new experience - I constantly alternate between great excitement at the thought of having...

RE: Awwww~ Hi Dana, Many congratulations! The pictures are great and Holly is absolutely adorable! Makes me look forward to my new addition (due in about 17 weeks) all the more! Best wishes! Kaz. Today Is The Tomorrow We Worried About Yesterday And All Is Well.

Hi Jeni, Many congratulations on your new addition - gorgeous name!! I'm eagerly awaiting my bundle of joy in about 17 weeks time! Enjoy your new bundle of joy and here's hoping for not too many sleepless nights!! Kaz. Today Is The Tomorrow We Worried About Yesterday And All Is Well.

RE: Oh... and drink lots of fluids, too! nt Hi All, Thanks so much for all your advice. It's nice to hear so many positive experiences regarding breast-feeding! Susan, you cracked me up with your comments about your "huge mams"!! My first laugh out loud of the day! Congratulations on your...
