Me too! And I threw in a RS/MIC/IMAX dvd to boot. I figure that I won't mind the preorder wait very much since I probably won't be ready for them for a few months after I deliver anyway. I doubt I will preorder the boxing dvds (kickboxing would be a different story), but I will almost...

RE: step vs. hi-lo: which is best for childbirthing mus... I don't know the answer to your question, but I would love to know what labor-related exercises (besides kegels) you are doing. Might be time for me to add some...

Hi everyone. Thanks for all your sympathy with my indelicate problem. I am happy to report that the doctor WAS able to help (or maybe it would have gotten better on its own but I wasn't gonna take any chances). The downside is that I decided to take the entire last week off from exercising...

NO FAIR!!! I am already so envious of anyone ahead of me, and now you get to jump ahead even more. Oh well, I'm sure once my time comes I'll look back on these days wistfully..."Ah remember the days when I could eat and eat and gaining a pound a week was considered healthy?"

That's wonderful!! Is this your first pg? This is my first (and likely only) and I have found this forum to be a great place to get my questions answered. Looking forward to having you on board!

Let me add my congrats too. It's wonderful how everything worked out given all you went through earlier. It's also nice and very reassuring to hear that breastfeeding is going well for you. I worry a lot about that myself, so it's great to hear success stories.

Well, it's been kind of tough on this end too, but then I think about what you're going through, JulieL, and I know I should be grateful that it's all minor discomforts. But far be it from me to refrain from complaining so here I go....OK, so I apologize in advance if this is TMI and I caution...

I took a couple of tests a few days before my period was due (28 days after the last) and they all came back negative. The one I took the morning it was due was positive. The tests were supposed to be able to detect it a few days before day 28, but clearly that wasn't the case because I was...

I have no idea how long my core would hold because my shoulders fatigue so quickly!! I don't understand why they are so weak because I work them as often as any other body part. After the baby, once I get back into the swing of things, I am going to make shoulders a priority if only so I can...

Hi Rachel, Welcome and congrats! So many members are due soon so it's great when new members join! I don't think there's any more to joining the check-in than just posting when you see the pregnant women's thread (which comes under various names--this week it's got "rounded belly" in...

Hi all. I can't believe how much some of you are doing! I commend you! I'm afraid I need to take it easy for a little while though. I have been feeling a lot of tightness in my abdomen lately whenever I am active (working out, walking the dogs, cleaning, etc). The dr said it's normal to...

My U/S tech said it's a girl, and we are DELIGHTED. Of course, we would have been just as happy if the verdict been "boy." But now that I have gotten used to the idea of a girl, calling her "she," told people, thought about names, worried about her someday dating, etc., it hits me that I will...

Your children are absolutely beautiful! :-) Makes me misty eyed about my own to come.

1. Dying my hair. 2. Wearing a size 6. 3. Happy hour.

I've never heard that about alcohol being "stored" in your system for so long! I know that some substances (like thc in marijuana) stay in your system for while, which is why drug tests can detect it long after the immediate effects have worn off. But I always believed that alcohol was...

Hi everyone. I had a pretty good week. I saw the doctor and had only gained a half-pound since my last appointment. I was worried that the doc would tell me to take it easy, but she said she exercised quite a bit during her own pregnancy and was very supportive when I told her what I was...

I too would love to know the answer to this question.

Boy was I lazy this week! Well, it wasn't ALL my fault. I was horribly sore at the beginning of the week from overdoing it with legs and I also started a course which requires a lengthy daily commute. I think I am finally getting back on track. But enough excuses, time to fess up...

Hi. I did ok this week, though my Friday leg workout gave me the worst case of DOMS I've had in ages. It still hurts to sit down and stand up, climb stairs, etc. That dang Tony H. Monday—rest Tuesday—Body Fusion Wednesday—Basic Step + stability ball abs Thursday—LM step portion (no...
