Hi everyone. Haven't started exercising yet. Everyday I mean to but I am just so darn exhausted. Maddie cannot stand to be put down and sometimes fusses all night long. I have heard that fussiness peaks at 6 weeks--I sure hope so because she is fast approaching the 6 week mark and I need...

First of all, let me thank everyone who responded to this thread. I knew you would make me feel better and reassure me that my feelings were normal. I feel a lot better today. Last night, Maddie selpt well and my DH took care of everything except nursing (of course). I just had to stay in...

I suppose no one will be so cruel as to say "no" but I'll ask anyway. Three weeks in and this is so hard. How will I ever again accomplish anything besides the most basic baby care? And even that is touch and go--I strongly suspect I am not producing enough milk to feed this kid. She's not...

It's so hard to type with one hand! MAddie is doing great after a few bad weeks--basically, she gained no weight from discharge after losing 12 oz from birth. We had to supplement her with formula and pumped breast milk for the past week and she gained 9 oz so I think we are on track. I...

I've heard the same thing about EFAs. I took a fish oil supplement after my first trimester (too yucky when I was feeling nauseous). I just made sure it was distilled so there was no concern about mercury (if it weren't for mercury, I just would have eaten fish). But I would show it to your...

I am so sorry. I wish you the best in workimg through this.

Hi everyone! She's here at last! Madeline ("Maddy") was born 3 p.m. Tuesday weighing 7 lbs 14 oz. I had to be induced starting Monday afternoon for low fluid levels--who knows how long she would have waited if left to her own devices! But the delivery was very easy (esp after that nice man...

Hi Melanie! Madeline was born on Tuesday afternoon and we just got home yesterday. I just logged on the post. I'll start a new thread with details.

Hi everyone. I'm in that limbo time--keeping the house in order, not venturing too far from home, and trying to interpret every little twitch and rumble. I have read three not-so-slim novels in the past week I am so anxious to pass the time. I'm going back to the dr tomorrow and we'll start...

Congratulations!

Congrats! I'm so glad the birth went well for you. Can't wait to hear the details about your DH--sounds like it was pretty crazy.

This is so funny. I used to eat chocolate every single day--just a square or two of the super dark fancy stuff (Valrhona 85%). But for the first half of my pg, the only chocolate I could stomach was cheap milk chocolate. Then I went through a Cadbury Fruit and Nut chocolate bar phase. I was...

Nothing much to report. Just waiting it out, getting odds and ends done. If I spend too much time on my feet, my lower back kills me. I don't know why it's so bad given that my belly is pretty small (or at least that's what people tell me) and my weight gain wasn't that bad. I went to Target...

I love it so much I get misty-eyed just thinking about it.

Hi everyone, I'm afraid that I had to retire my workout DVDs for the remainder of this pg--my sciatica (I think that's what is it) KILLS me after exercising. I tried a couple of workouts last week (SJP step and weights circuit one day and a 2.5 mile walk on the TM the other), and I paid...

It's funny how people's bodies have such different reponses. I have not gotten that large, but for some reason I found that from early on, I could no longer run . Step, however, remains doable (but I never do intervals anymore). I have also favored total body weight workouts as more efficient...

We're doing it, but it's based on a leap of faith that they will develop ways of using it to treat for other diseases in years to come. If the uses were limited to what they can do with it now, I wouldn't do it. And I would never do it at the expense of buying health insurance, saving for...
