Oi, how do you find time to work out as a new mom?!? My daughter is 3 weeks old and nursing around the clock. I've been able to go on short 20 minute walks with her in the evenings, but I can't figure out how to get back in to a workout routine. Every time I think about starting a workout...

Hi LadyLep! Sorry to hear about all of the morning sickness. I had some, but not much. I was able to work out for my entire pregnancy and felt lucky to be able to do so. From the beginning, I just modified Cathe's videos to keep things low impact. After the first trimester I avoided...

my husband found a great swing for our little girl. it's made my fischer price and i think it's called "my little lamb". it swings front to back or you can turn it and have it swing side to side which is what morgan likes. it also has a mobile attached to it and plays different sounds. she...

Congratulations!! I hope everything is going well for you at home! What great news!! Carrie

Hi Ladies, Winter, I'm glad things seem to be going well for you. At 17 weeks I didn't look too pregnant either, but then by 20 - 24 weeks - the belly happened kind of fast for me! It's different for everyone though. Liann, How great that Akadia is sleeping through the night! The past...

Hi Lulu, I'm sorry you seem to be feeling so overwhelmed right now - I hope things get better soon. As far as packing for the hospital, I can tell you what I took. I hate hospital gowns, so I took my own pjs - pants and t-shirts to "hang out" in after the delivery. An outfit to wear...

Hi Pregnant Ladies!! I hope this finds everyone doing well. Please feel free to post any new updates about your appointments, pregnancies, etc. I had intended to start this thread earlier in the week when August actually started, but I went in to labor last Friday and delivered my...

Congratulations Lilly!!! I'm glad things went well for you and Samantha and I'm glad you had a safe VBAC. I'm sorry it was painful, but I hope you're on the road to recovery now and I hope you're little girl is healthy and happy to be out in the world. That is so exciting!!! Well, you...

ouch!! i'm sorry you're having to deal with all of this - you don't need the stress! i hope things work out soon.

MC, I think I've read most of the posts on this thread and I may have a couple of suggestions for you to try based on what I've read (and if I'm correctly understanding your situation). First of all, I absolutely agree with a medical work-up. Things like idiopathic cystitis, UTI's...

Liann, Thanks for sharing your story with us. I'm glad you didn't have any problems with the epidural - I think that's one of the things I'm most nervous about so it's good to know that yours went well. I'm glad the induction went well too. I hope by now you're healed, feeling good, and...

Hi Gang! Liann - I love the picture that Cynthia put together!! It's great :-) I'm still here and doing well. Also trying to stay cool and annoyed that my feet are FAT!! I've had some long 12 hour days at work this week and it's hard to get my shoes/socks on and off. I think I'm...

Lourdes, I don't mean to sound uncaring or non-compassionate, but you absolutely should not be discounting your services. You have set fees for a reason - this is business. You cannot go in to a restaurant and ask them to discount their menu items or go ask for a discount when you have...

oh, she is beautiful!! Congratulations!

Wow, by this time tomorrow Liann may have had her little girl!! I like the name Akadia - it's really pretty. How exciting!!!! So good to hear that you're all doing well. Hope everyone has a great week and I can't wait to see pictures of Akadia soon! Carrie

Is it really July already?? Now my due date is less than a month away (8/3). I cannot believe how quickly this pregnancy has flown by!! My husband and I are almost ready - we still have to finish some things with the nursery, buy a few odds and ends, and learn how to get the car seat in to...

Lourdes, I just wanted to stick my two cents in. I don't know anything about maternal age and pregnancies or being high risk, so I don't know what's normal to recommend. The one thing I know a little bit about is that obstetrics is a difficult area for doctors in which to practice...

Liann, I keep checking this thread every few days to see if your still around. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you don't have to be induced. But it's also cool to think that either way she'll be here by this time next week!! Good Luck!! Carrie

Hi Girls! Autumn - congratulations on your pregnancy and welcome to the forum! It sounds like you've certainly been through a lot, but I hope the remainder of your pregnancy goes well. Liann - I hope you're hanging in there okay. Is it hard just waiting for labor to begin or are you...

Hi! Congratulations on your pregnancy! I'm afraid I don't have a lot of advice about cravings. I had a few cravings during my first trimester, but nothing too bad. One time I wanted french fries pretty badly and I gave in then. A few other times I wanted ice cream, which I did, but I...
