I am so glad he finally arrived. How big was he?

Hi Curly, Wow, you are getting close. By the way, did I ever send you the pic of the girls? Ashley is doing well. I like turbo jam, as the music is great and chalene is high energy. I have only done the workouts pregnant or postpartum so I haven't upped the intensity. My feel is though that...

I did tae bo during my pregnancy as well as turbo jam. I recommend the tae bo live tapes0beg. or adv. depending on how you feel. Tae bo extreme is another good one while pregnant.

Congrats! Doctors don't always know the updated exercise guidelines. It is safe to do ab work with no modifications til the 14th week. After the 14th week, avoid exercises laying flat on the ground(suppine position). There is post recently answered by Sheila about this, hopefully someone can...

kristen, it sounds like a great trip! Mary, my doc said I could do low impact. My tear was between a 2 and 3 and he said would heal by 3 weeks.(I am now 3.5 weeks postpartum). Your little man would tower over my petite gal who still measured 19 inches at her 2 week appointment. I have her in...

Hi everyone, Heather, hope you had your baby! Mel, any news? is there a chance you are pregnant again? Hope all you other mommies are doing well. Ashley weighed in at her 2 week apt last Mon. at 6 pounds, 14 ounces. She is starting to be more awake during the day but still nurses about...

Oh Heather, I am so sorry for you! You have a right to vent! I hope you have that baby soon!

Congrats! I am 36 and just had my second child. The big modification I made is stopping all suppine work(flat on the back) after 14 weeks. I kept up my weights but lowered the amounts near the end. I did kickbox workouts til the end as well as cathe,firms and cias. I decreased impact around the...

Gracenote, good luck moving! Be proud of yourself for nursing for 6 months. Ashley actually eats less frequent than her big sister, so I actually am doing better this time than last time. Last night was a bad night. Ms. Ashley was awake on and off from 3:30 on. I am planning a nap today...

Kristi, great job on the weight loss! Enjoy your girls weekend. You don't have to leave us antime soon. Mel, will tell you a bunch of is stayed on this check in til our kids were toddlers. I am keeping my workouts real easy for me, light weights, no impact1 I am usually a high impact junkie...

Hi Morris, glad I didn't sound too negative. I find the bleeding worse the end of the day, not necessary after exercise. 2 of my friends went on antidepresants, 1 let it pass and one didn't realize it was postpartum depression until years later. I was really fearful of having it due to my...

Rachel, looks like you'll be joining us moms soon! linda, I was glad I had the internal exams. With both kids, doc said I would go soon and within days, 2 weeks early, went with both girls. Morris, you've gotten some great advice here but ui'll add some more. One, yes, you are dying to hold...

Morris, both my girls came out so quickly that I tore. Most people I know had an episiotomy. I actually had an easy delivery but still am airing on the side of caution.

Morris, visit here all you want!You will be postpartum soon enough. The first few days postpartum I was too sore to think about exercise. At this point, I feel good but am listening to my doc. My doc says stiches(I tore) take 2-3 weeks to heal. He says I can do low impact exercises so am...

Hi to all you mommies, Hard to believe but Ashley is already 16 days old. She has already been shopping and seems to do well out. Exhaustion has hit me as she is nursing every 1.5-2 hours. Alexis is doing well with her baby sister. I have about 7-8 pounds to lose, weight is flexuating. At least...

Morris, you did enough exercise the last 9 months to last you years! Believe me though, you will get your figure back even with reduced activity. Glad the fluids are back up.

Vent here anytime! Doctors are often clueless on injuries, have you seen a physical therapist or chiropractor? Also, have you checked with a a lactation consultant regarding the nursing?

Morris, hopefully Heather can't answer because she is in the hospital. I bled for a few days prior to having dd#1 and bled with what seemed like a loss of mucus plug the day I gave birth. My sis in law lost mucus plug and didn't go into labor for another week and a half. It may be a few weeks...

Oh Heather, I am sending labor vibes and cyberhugs your way! Boy, you do have a stubborn one!

Heidi, wow, no shopping til you fit in your jeans! I went out to local thrift stores and bought clothes one size bigger til my figure returns. For butt/thigh toning without bulk I recommend tae bo and turbo jam. For fatburning, I recommend cathe's imax 2 and 3 as well as stepblast. When did you...
