My 31 inch post partum waist... (m) I had a spongy spare tire even up til getting pregnant again with Anjali (I blame several factors - one being my lack of good eating habits, as I had prior to being a mom.. the other being my lack of good exercise habits as I had prior to being a mom. I also...

Actually this pregnancy seems so much more relaxing! >get further away the closer >you get, doesn't it?) ;-) Kind of sort of yes - but you know.... I am SO enjoying this wonderful time with my daughter and husband. My daughter is a delightful little person who is really becoming REASONABLE...

Feeling pretty well. Kalina has dropped, so I can breathe and eat again ! I'm still not gaining much weight. My ultrasound 1.5 wks ago showed that she is on the small side (and probably won't even by 7 lbs at birth). No big surprise though. She is half indian (my half) and my sibs and I were...

Well said!!! Good luck to you both!

Hi!! >22-pounder who's just a few Awww! >weeks shy of walking (running!) >and has developed a very >strong opinion about everything. Yes! Isn't that terrific? (No sarcasm at all intended!). I love the twos. My 2.5 yo NEVER stops talking, and she has opinions (strong) on everything...

About ultrasounds.. I've had 6... I had a miscarriage in July, and 2 chemical pregnancies prior to that (after not having any problems with my first pregnancy - either in conceiving or carrying). So this time they did one at 5 wks and 8 wks to check the sac/hb. Then they did one at 13 wks...

Marisol ... You are amazing. 8 from 18!! WOW! Anyway - you did it once, you will do it again, despite what you gain. Please be easy on yourself - if you feel fatigued and sick, don't feel guilty about getting hwat rest you can get (with your 2 kids). Leela

Congrats to you all - here's my update Only doing yoga these days. My hip really hurts (left side). I spend a lot of energy playing with my very active and sweet 2.5 yo daughter. The rest of the time is either spent sleeping, or working (I am a full time software engineer). I haven't gained...

:-). Just hoping to get to the hospital this time ... But if I don't - I won't give birth on any carpeting this time! I'll try to lay down comforters - easier to clean or replace :-) We are almost there!!! YAY!!!

Congrats!!!!!!! I'm so relieved it worked out well for you!!!!

Happy 1 year to your little one!! Has it really been that long?!

For me, it was around 6 weeks. It peaked at 9 weeks and then got much better. I don't know if it is possible to feel it the next day - I would tend to doubt it - but... what do I know :-) GOOD LUCK!!!

Hoping he goes home soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hang in there!! Im' so glad he is doing well with the feeding and is out of the isolette!! Go Kyle, Go! :-) Leela

Hi! We are due a day apart! I am 8/31. I'm expecting to go early though - it runs in the family. Mom had hers at 33 wks (42 yrs ago!), 36 wks, 37 wks. I had Anjali at 36 wks. My sister had her baby at 37 wks. (We also have super-speedy-can't make it to the hospital in time labors!) I've been...

Happy to join: I'm at 31.5 weeks right now Expecting my second (and last child) daughter. Haven't worked out much the last few weeks. I had gastroentris. Then got better. Then DD got it. Then I got a bad cold. Sigh. But i'd love to check in, even with the meagre working out i'm doing righit...

Congrats - and i'm sorry he's not home with you (m) I had a super fast lbor/delivery at 36 wks, and my daughter didn't come home for 3 weeks (pneumonia). It is hard... pumping instead of really nursing when nursing is needed... but you are doing great!! Hang in there! Leela

Yes. My second time is much more achey than my first - (m) And my ob said it is because your body doesn't really completely 'knit' back the way it was before having children. Plus - there is the added stress (in my case) of carrying my toddler (she is at a mom-velcro stage :-) )

Fatigue is a drag in that first trimester. I found weeks 7-10 to be really hard (m) And it was even harder to cope with my active 2yo (she's terrific -but I had no energy!) I just wanted to sleep at work, at home.. listen to your body and be forgiving of yourself. You may (as many of us did)...

Wonderful! Congratulations!!!!! How very exciting!!

Squats are great! My bradley class had us do them as 'homework' (non weighted), and I gave birth in one! It is a great birthing position! Leela
