I normally don't post, but I thought I'd help a fellow BFer if I could. I have breastfed both my daughters. The first one for one year and the second one six months so far. I fought with supply issues with my first daughter (I work full time and pump). Fortunately, I have access to a...

I pumped after I went back to work (after 10 weeks). My daughter was on exclusive breastmilk for 9 months then supplemented with formula until she was 1. I worked at the Pentagon and they have "nursing mother's rooms" with hospital quality pumps, sink, and a place to keep all your stuff. The...

I know you are trying to be helpful with your response. But I think your interpretation of the 99% effectiveness of the pill is incorrect. My understanding from reading the insert from the pill and tables comparing effectiveness of various birth control menthods is that this is the...

As the responses suggest, it is all a function of breast size. I wore a 34D before pregnancy and went to a 38DD while pregnant and nursing! I work in the Pentagon where there is a nursing mother's room and observed other mothers and what they did. It seems if you are small breasted, you can...

I was 38 when my daughter was born. My husband and I decided that we would keep the baby no matter what so I decided not to have the amnio. Plus, I didn't like the miscarriage possibility. In the mean time, I went to the library and looked through a few books on down's syndrome. It turns out...

Congrat! I am so happy for you. Children are such a joy. I'm wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy and birth. I am also happy for selfish reasons since I just had my sweetie on June 14 and plan to try for another one in a year - maybe you'll have a pregnancy video by then!

I hope not because I just had my first at 38! I plan to add to my family later. My mom had me when she was 42. I think there are definite advantages to having kids later. I talked to my health insurance early on about my pregnancy, they asked me if I had a high risk pregnancy. I didn't know...

Sounds good! I'll need some advice on how to not overdo it after a C-section! I haven't started exercising yet (except for walks) but I plan to start next week. You're probably right about why we miss pregnancy - life will never be the same! Plus, I couldn't relax during my pregnancy - there...

Time has flown, but I want to tell everyone about the birth of Maya Nicole on June 14. For those of your on the fall Cathe trip, I was about 6 weeks pregnant. Maya's due date was June 30, but we were surprised at the doctor on June 14 when she discovered that the baby was in a breech position...

RE: CONGRATULATIONS Camille! Congratulations to you on your first grandchild! Don't worry about taking any attention away from me, I'm sure I'll get **plenty** of attention (and advice, and belly pats, and stares, etc) for the next nine months! Camillw

We, after 9 months of trying, I got a + pregnancy test on Sunday. It still doesn't feel real since I haven't had many symptoms yet. I'm still really nervous - I guess every mother-to-be is. I'm on a business trip right now and have worked out each morning - hopefully, I can keep this up...

Congrats I've been lurking here since my hubby and I have been "trying." I'm so glad to see your announcement! Have a great nine months. Hopefully, I'll be joining you soon. But - as I have found out - that is easier said than done. I'm beginning to think that anyone who says they get...

Thanks! Hi Cathe! I haven't been on the forum lately since I just got married (March - we eloped!) and I've been really busy (actually busy trying to have a baby so I go other websites!). Anyway, I just wanted to say that I appreciate your response to this issue. I started doing your videos...

You're right! I could make a pretty darn good meal for 225 calories. Pita stuffed with veggies and tuna, fruit, carrot sticks. I would much rather eat food than drink some shake. I'm probably the only one in the whole world who has never even had a slimfast! I always think I'll still be...

Kickboxing in General I'm glad someone posted on this subject. I have recently been getting concerned about kickboxing in general. I have two friends who have had back problems - ruptured disk - from kickboxing. I tried Tae Bo and didn't like the moves. I took a kickboxing class through my...

Hope to meet you! Barbara, Hopefully, you will make it up the list for the Cathe trip. You have been posting for quite a while on VF and here and I think your posts are very insiring. I would love to meet you.

Clarification Sorry if you interpreted my post as condescending. I think if you knew me, you would know that I had not meant it that way! What I really meant to say is the Cathe's weight tapes (IMO) may not be good for people who are just starting out with weight training and are intimidated...

I second the suggestions When I first got BodyMax I shelved it for a few months. The first aerobics segment sent my heart through my chest cavity and into space! After I came back from the last VF Road Trip, I realized that I was approaching the tape wrong. Instead of going for maximum...

Like them both - use CF more I started off with the Firm for strength training. I had so many misconceptions about strength training - from thinking that 3 pounds was "enough," to thinking I would bulk up and look fat. I was also very intimidated by the idea of strength training. The Firm...
