Thank you to everyone for your kind words concerning my father. I never thought I would have to go through this at a time that should be so joyous. On a side note, what are you all doing for ab work. I would like to stay a little challenged but safe, however I am running out of ideas that...

Good morning ladies, I haven't checked in for a couple of weeks. We received the devastating news two weeks ago that my father has terminal cancer and has only a few months left with us. I am mostly sad that he will not be around for his newest grandchild and that my child will never get...

Hi Lori-I had my first U/S at 6 weeks to make sure it was viable. I think that my doctor does that for us old ladies (I'm 38). But it was reassuring that they detected a heartbeat at that time. I think because of my age I'll end up having more U/S in the future than what is normal. DH was so...

Hi everyone, I joined the check in about six weeks ago. Then morning sickness set in. Now I am feeling better and hope to get in more workouts. I am still battling sleeplessness a few times a week and I can't eat enough yet so I think that is contributing to my lower energy level. Here...

Hi Shannon, DH and I were trying for 7 months. I started Clomid on the 8th month and got pregnant with that first round. The side effects were minimal, although it temporarily played with my eyesight a little. Good luck to you.

Hi All, I hope your 4th was enjoyable. I am in recovery mode also. Way too much activity for a tired, sick preggo. I was only able to fit in one workout last week because of nausea/sleep deprivation. Tues-after a one hour nap, I was able to walk 45 minutes on the treadmill and do some...

Hi ladies, I am hoping to join in here as a first timer. I am 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant. I have started to feel the effects of morning sickness. I keep trying to force feed myself ginger snaps. I have not slept well in weeks and I had to stay home from work yesterday just to nap. May...

Hi Chrissy, I didn't get married until I was 37. We knew that we couldn't wait too long before having kids but we decided we would wait a year and take our chances. It took us 8 months after that to conceive (with a little help from Clomid) so at 38 I am pregnant with my first. Don't give...

Thank you all. I am so glad this forum exists and that there are so many knowledgeable people that participate. I am sure I will have so many more questions as this pregnancy progresses. I do have the book "Exercising Through Your Pregnancy" and it is pretty thorough, however I can't find...

Hi all, It was confirmed just yesterday that I am pregnant. I am 38 and this is my first pregnancy. When I asked the nurse yesterday about exercise and ab work she said use the talk test for cardio but don't do abs. That really frustrated me since I always understood that strong abs are...

Best of luck to you Kathy. You should be testing today? I don't think I'll need to test, Pre-AF symtoms started today.:( Oh well onward to month 5. I think I'll drown myself in an IMAX 2 or Bootcamp. Jeannie

Thank you so much for your input. That is exactly what I wanted to hear. I hope to be joining you all as a preggo soon.

This is my first post so bare with me. I am trying to conceive for the first time and don't really know what to do about my exercise routine. Do I continue as normal (ie. heavy weights, blasts etc) until I know for sure I am pregnant? or do I ease off a bit for those two weeks of the month...
