    returning to work

    Hi everyone! I'm so embarrassed about my last post regarding something so shallow as losing my belly postpardum. There are so many other things to be concerned with. I am having a slight depression about returning to work in one month. My son, Dante, will only be 2 and a half months old and...

    Hi Andrea! Thanks for your response. I suppose your right about it taking longer to lose the weight if you are breast feeding. Although, I am pretty much back to the way I was, with the exception of a few dimples here and there. I too have a spare tire around my waist that I wish were a...

    KJT- Congratulations on your baby boy! I hope he is doing well. Will he be coming home soon? How is the feeding going? My sister-in-law just had a baby at 37 weeks and she can't seem to wake him up to feed for more than a few minutes. He was exactly 5 pounds at birth. She had him at home...

    Hazel, Happy birthday to your little one! It's strange to imagine what your body was going through just one year ago to create such a wonderful bundle of joy. I never knew I could feel this much love for anybody other than my husband. In fact, it's scary the love I have for my son, Dante...

    abdominals

    I am 4 and a half months pregnant, and have not done one sit-up in that amount of time. I used to pride myself on my six-pack, but now it has turned promptly into a keg!!! Can someone describe the kind of ab exercises I can do so that when all is said and done, I'll be able to find my muscles...

    congratulations, grandma! Debbie- I'm so happy for you and your daughter! I hope that everything works out for her and the baby. I was brought up in a Catholic school and I think that I have prayed more in the past 5 months than ever before- even after 8 years in perochial school! It really...

    RE: How Exciting! Debbie- Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm regarding my baby's heartbeat. That relly means a lot to me. It was quite an amazing thing- sooo fast!!! I did a pregnancy step aerobic video today. Although it only lasted 25 minutes, I was certainly feeling my heart race...

    toning exercises

    I am at ten weeks and my husband and I were able to hear the baby's heartbeat! The doctor says that the possibility of another miscarriage is very slim now, as I had one in July when I was 5 weeks. I was just curious if anyone could recommend any modified versions of Cathe's tapes for toning...

    never getting quenched Thank you for your input. It certainly makes me feel more at ease knowing that this is normal. I guess I'll go and drink another gallon of water, so that I can pee all night long! I hope that all is well with you, your family, and your students! Alicia

    nervous about pregnancy

    thanks for your concern Jen, Thank you for asking. I'm feeling much better today- not nearly as thirsty as the other day. You'd think I was living in the Sahara desert as thirsty as I was. So far, so good. I haven't had any bleeding, knock wood. I wonder if it's normal to not feel...

    nervous about pregnancy

    Merie- I'm so sorry to hear what you went through. Somebody once told me that you have to get through the bad to get to the good. I suppose they were right, because you have a beautiful son! I just keep reminding myself that my husband is the greatest thing ever to happen to me. If we are...

    nervous about pregnancy

    Lynn, Thank you for your letter. Although I know in my mind that we will never know the reasons for the miscarriage, and that hopefully it was a fluke, it's nice to be reminded every now and again. Your words really give me peace of mind, and I'm grateful. I still am playing it safe as far as...

    nervous about pregnancy

    Thank you for your suggestion regarding the book. As soon as I feel "out of the woods", so to speak, I will read it. Yesterday I had quite a scare at work. I became INCREDIBLY parched, and I couldn't seem to drink enough water to quench my thirst. I also became quite jittery. It had been...

    I am new to this forum, but have been reading so many helpful bits of information that I thought I would relay my fears to anyone who can help. I had a miscarriage two months ago, and am now pregnant again. I believe that I am only 3 weeks at the most, but I'm sooooo scared. It will, God...
