I bless the person who invented the snuggle carrier. It has helped me get the little exercise I have been able to grab in the past 8 weeks. Thanks for the encouragement. She slept much better last night. Maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel. ( 9 months? I think I would have gone...

My problem hasn't been getting her to eat. She is just so fussy at night. She definately has colic. I mean she starts in between 7:30 and 8:00 like clock work every night and goes until about 10:30 or 11:00. On two occsions when I had exercised pretty vigorously she cried until 2:00 in the...

Is it just my imagination, but it seems like Hope gets really upset on days that I exercise. Is exercising effecting my milk, and if so is there anything I can do about it? If I just walk it seems okay, but if I do a tape (which is much harder and I sweat bullets) it seems to mess her up. I am...

Hi Christine, I don't have any infor to share. Just wanted you to know that my heart goes out to you. I just had a beautiful baby girl, but worried all through my pregnancy about downs because of my age. I didn't have any prenatal testing beyond the basics because it wouldn't have changed...

I was just wondering if your level of activity could have anything to do with you not having a period. I went for a year and a half without a period when I was running a lot. I wasn't too thin. I weighed 125lbs and am 5ft 3inches tall. Is there any chance your problem could have multiple...

I am 4 weeks postpartum and was glad to see your post. I have Cathe's MIS tape and it is very good. You might have to modify it some in the beginning if you haven't done much with weights. I use free weights with it. I haven't done it since I was about 31/2 months and was modifying it then...

RE: Welcome Hope! I know what you mean. I can't believe how cute she is at 1:30, 2:30 and so on in the morning. She didn't like the billi lights because she doesn't like being naked. The doctor said no cute little diaper for her. I think she just loves to snuggle and feel close . She's fine...

RE: Welcome Hope! Thank you for all the congrats and sweet comments. We spent the weekend under billi lights, but she is doing fine now. Mom is a little tired. I am waiting for that magical moment when night and day get straightened out. She is a joy. I love it when she snuggles into my...

Nope!!! I have little Hope!!!! Thanks for asking!!! Paula

Tears of joy as I type. Hope arrived!!! Healthy, whole and beautiful. 2 1/2 weeks shy of her due date. 7lbs 8oz of perfection. Worth every last minute on brethine and bedrest, and then some. She has a headful of hair and her daddy is totally in love with her. I am so thankful and feel so...

RE: How are you? I guess the best way to describe how I feel is anxious. I hit 36 weeks and can now stop the medication I have been taking. My 13 year old daughter is asking me every 10 minutes if I have had any contractions. I finally had to ask her to stop. She could ask me this for the...

I went into labor this weekend at 33weeks 5days. I was in the hospital for three days as they worked to stop my labor. I am at home on bedrest and brethine. I hate it. It is making me feel awful and my baby is so restless. She is jumping around like she is trying to get out through my skin...

Thanks for the tip. I am home now waiting to have my baby. I went into preterm labor over the weekend and have been sentenced to bed and breathine ( a miserable drug to stop preterm labor) until I hit 36 weeks. I am at 34 now. I will need Cathe's tapes, an ab dollie etc. more than ever after...

I got my copy about 6 months ago from Barnes and Noble. They didn't have it on the shelf, but ordered it for me. I had it within a week. Hope this helps. It was cheaper to order it from the store than on-line because I got to avoid shipping charges because it was ordered from the store...

One of the areas I know I am going to have to work on more than anything after this baby is my abs. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about those ab dollies. Looks like you could spend anywhere from 10's to 100's of dollars on one. I was wondering if they are just a lot of hype. I'm...

RE: I'm not a medical professional but . . . Thanks for the input. I guess there is no rhyme or reason really to the details of pregnancy. I was really just wondering if the progress I have made was significant at all. I am very tired, and quite honestly having to stay home isn't upsetting...

Went in for my two week check up yesterday, and my doctor checked me because I have been experiencing a lot of Braxton Hicks. They have been very steady, but short.(25-30 seconds). I was 50% ephased,(sp?) and a fingertip dialated. She said I needed to quit work until after the first of the...

Did your doctor check thyroid levels? I was having some problems a few years ago. I started to have a discharge from my breasts. When I went to my doctor about it he checked my throid levels. He said that when thyroid levels drop it can stimulate prolactin in some women. My throid level came...

Thanks for your advice. You validated a lot of things I have been thinking. I think it is normal to get anxious about things as the big day gets closer. I picked this doctor because she is a woman, my age, and just had a baby herself. I figured she would be very understanding, and I knew her...

Thanks for all your sweet comments. The people on this forum are so helpful I often wish they were my neighbors. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Paula
