I did floorwork as well as lunges and squats to the end of both my pregnancies.

Morris, glad the Finn is doing well. I am sure you did not lose muscle mass! You will see significant weight loss in the next week as you lose fluids and uterus shrinks back. Mary, glad you are doung well. It still makes me laugh that your son was born 3 inches bigger than my daughter! She too...

No words of wisdom for you, hopefully your doc will give you more info. Have you run an internet search on postpartum hypertension? How frustrating!

First of all, i feel for you. A sleep deprived kid is a nightmare. A great book is healthy child, healthy sleep. make sure the crib sides are at a position that she can't crawl out of and then at a time you know she is tired, let her cry it out. Eventually she will learn that you are keeping her...

I charted my temps one month and was sure I had a short luteal phase and ready to talk to the doctor about clomid. The next month I got pregnant with dd#1 so I guess my diagnosis was wrong. I too used the book taking charge of your fertility and was pregnant within 2 months of reading it after 6...

Hi all you mommies, Congrats to all you new mommies. We are doing well despite a little fussiness right now as I type. She is waking to nurse at night every 2-3 hours but goes back to sleep. She got baby acne which Alexis had too. Hard to believe she is already 5 weeks old. I have those...

Morris, congrats! Glad all turned out well. In terms of engorgement, it does hurt but subsides. In terms of sleep deprivation,try to sleep when he does and don't worry about those workouts. You'll see the pounds quickly drop. looking foward to seeing you on the moms check in, and don't be shy...

It must be scary waiting for signs that this pregnancy won't succeed but I wouldn't use heartrate as an indicator. Until I got am sickness, I noticed no change in my aerobic capacity or heartrate. Do you have an early ultrasound scheduled? I believe that is the best predictor .Good luck.

Rachel, congrats! Great job pushing out a big baby. I love the name.

Kristan,great job on the runs! Heather, glad to see you on the other side! See we knew that little guy would come out. Too funny though that with the same due date our kids are 3 weeks apart. Great job on the exercise, but do take it easy! I too found the weight came off quickly at first...

Morris, my weight gain, like yours slowed at 28 weeks. The last week, I lost a pound so hopefully yours will come soon. I guess I was lucky, once I hit 2 cm, I went quickly. If exercise is prioritized it can be fit it. Sometimes though, it involves starting and stopping to nurse or change the...

kristi, I believe Alexis didn't crawl until about 9 months, then walked at 16 months. She now runs everwhere! She turns 3 in sept.

Morris, you'll probably be doing imax 3 the day you return home from the hospital! Your workouts are incredible for anyone, no less being ready to pop! I take my walks with the kids in the morning, and have been videos in the afternoons. My toddler naps in the afternoon but prior to having the...

Kristi, good luck with your weight loss goal. How old are your kids now? Hard to believe that Ashley is 1 month old already. She continues to get up about every 2-3 hours which was really hard last week as I got a bad cold. My toddler also has the cold so last week was challenging! I have 6...

I was 33 when my forst was born, 36 when my second was born. Hubby and I were married 6 years before deciding we were ready for kids. As a result, we are much more patient with our kids and enjoy them more. I am glad we waited.

As we start to go to 3rd birthday parties I thought it was time to check in with all of DD's internet friends. All moms of toddlers you are welcome here! Its hard to believe that Bardric, Max and Alexis will be 3 the end of the summer! Alexis is still talking up a storm. She went through a...

Just wanted to send my condelescences. It really is a huge loss. Glad you were able to use this forum for support.

Michelle, I feel the same way. My daughter is 4 weeks old and nurses every 2 hours. I was at a birthday party on Wed. and kept sneaking slices of pizza, embarrassed by how much I was eating. The books do say though that when nursing an extra 500 calories should be consumed. My body has 6 pounds...

Curly, i am not short, everyone else is just too tall! Lol. i don't think I ever emailed you the pics.I will send them. I do believe that both my gals came out early since my body knew it could only deliver a small baby. Have you tried Mindy Mylrea? She is almost as intense as cathe. You can...

I did all the ab moves and feel my strong abs helped make my delivery so quick.
