RE: Congratulations Myra! It's always so nice to hear of people trying these treatments and getting pregnant. I know how difficult it can be, emotionally. Congratulations! And congrats to ebh87, how ironic that this one took you by surprise.

RE: Hi Alli! Just goes to show how powerful stress can be, right? Well, I do hope you can remedy that problem. Anyway, Alli, you know you'll spring right back into shape after the baby's born, because you're naturally active. Your body won't forget that quickly how fit you are! Take good...

RE: Hey Alli! I hope it's not too difficult for you, and that the Dr. changes the plan soon!

Hi Meecher! I've had similar issues since becoming pregnant. Even before getting pregnant, I always ate a small bowl of extra fiber All_bran every day, just to keep things regular. Once pregnant, that was no longer enough. Metamucil does nothing for me, and neither does prune juice. BUT...

I just had my ultrasound today, and we're having a boy too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! edd: May 9. We're considering the name Ian, with my maiden name as the middle name.

RE: Hi Amanda! Amanda, I'm glad your pregnancy is progressing well. What a wonderful idea for the name of your baby. With your baby moving around as much as it is, you'll be "showing" any day now!!

Congratulations Beth! I'm glad that all went well for you. Jordan is a beautiful name. It's also my husband's name, and he's a great guy! I hope you're enjoying this special time.

That is wonderful news, Cathe. Either way, it's wonderful, but it's exciting to know ahead of time, I'm sure. I wonder what name you'll pick...

Thank you for that, Alli. There were some good ideas in there.

I'm at 16 weeks, and it's pretty boring too. But I think that's a good thing. No sickness, no complications, a decent amount of energy... What more could I want? I've been eating very well, BUT I have some kind of sweet snack every day. The weight hasn't changed too much; only 3 pounds...

RE: Check in/ pregnancy video decision That's understandable. That's great that you are now certified in yoga. I suspect that future videos may have some yoga in the cooldown. Or maybe an entire yoga tape. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. It is all about being with the ones you...

Cathe, Thank you for the info... I will definitely ask my doc when I see him next week.

Thanks for the help. I have really been avoiding ab work for the past month, so now I feel more comfortable getting back in there. :)

Okay, since nobody has responded to this thread, I decided to change my question a bit. Do you think it's fruitless to even worry about the muscles in the ab area during pregnancy? I have heard to opposing words of advice: 1. Your abs need to stretch, and taught muscles might make that more...

I think Imax is way harder than MIC. It's so funny how we can all have such different opinions of those 2.

Congratulations! It must be a very exciting moment!!

Is it safe to do one of Cathe's ab routines on an incline? Does anyone have any other ideas for abs during pregnancy, other than planks? The exercise that is done on all 4s, where you pull the abdominals up, seems to be a better workout for those further along in pregnancy. But at 14 weeks...

Thanks for the reply :).

I was hoping to be one of these people who don't show until the 5th month. This being my first pregnancy, I'm shocked to see that I have a belly at only 13 weeks. I have gained only 1 pound (holding at 134), but my tummy feels huge. And not just down by my pelvis, but I feel bloated up to my...

I know what you mean about constricting your ribcage. I'm usually a D cup, and I'm just starting to grow larger now, at 13 weeks. The truth is, nothing works quite like doubling up, but some bras are tighter around the ribcage than others. I find that the racerback underwire by Champion...
