Hi ladies! I'm Heather...the one who started this awesome group "Fit, Fabulous, and Pregnant"! I absolutely love this group of ladies and am so proud of all of you! This group was started when I was about 12wks pregnant with Charlee and it is so amazing that now I am able to post her birth story and to watch as others go…

Hey ladies I sent out invites for the group so lets start back up there! :)

Nichole I have a fussy, feisty baby (who thinks she needs to eat RIGHT NOWWWW!!! lol) so this will be short...but if you are leaking a lot I highly recommend ordering Milkies! Also I still leak a lot even though it has slowed down a bit now that my supply has stabalized but I just wear breast pads with 2 sports bras when I…

Hi ladies! Rosanna I'm super excited for you too! Soon enough you'll be joining this board! YAY! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Sending happy labor/delivery vibes your way! :) Holly I too love a good sore! I miss it when it doesn't happen...how silly is that?! I didn't end up getting mastitis. I made sure to…

I know there is some conflicting thoughts on this...but I bought an amazing Medela Pump Instyle Metro breast pump that retails for $350 for $60 on Craigslist. Some people say not to buy them used, but essentially you are buying a motor and you can get brand new parts for cheap if not free from the hospital when you deliver…

Thank you Kristy that is beyond sweet and I don't think of myself as "inspirational"...just an average woman with average genetics who has a passion for being above average in the health and fitness department despite have a baby! lol! I don't use Dreft and haven't had any problems. I just use the Tide free and clear and…

Happy New Year ladies! It is so exciting to see so many new mommies on here! We started this group with about 4 of us and now this group has so many people it is hard to keep track of everyone! It is so awesome to see so many pregnant women with a passion for staying fit and healthy during their pregnancy! I truly believe…

Hi ladies! Happy New Year! So far so good on the Lindsay Brin 60 day Slimdown...it got a little easier to do today versus that last time I did it, so that is promising! lol On my off day on Saturday it was 63*F and sunny and Al and I took Charlee on a long (not so easy) walk where I burned a whopping 600+ calories in the…

Bump Wishing all of my fit and fabulous pregnant friends a very happy 2012!!!

Btw Kristy so glad you are doing well! You look fabulous! Rayna you are doing great! The list of "must haves" is gonna be a little different for everyone. The things that really helped me and were "must haves" were: for me- Soothies, tennis ball (for massaging my lower back), camera/computer/cell phone charger, black comfy…

(I posted this on the FFP board but wanted to make sure you read it Nichole) :) Nichole I am beyond happy for you! At the end of the day all that matters is that mommy and baby are alive and healthy! You got the end result of a beautiful baby girl and that is truly the most important thing. We all have an idea and a plan…

Nichole I am beyond happy for you! At the end of the day all that matters is that mommy and baby are alive and healthy! You got the end result of a beautiful baby girl and that is truly the most important thing. We all have an idea and a plan of how we want things to go...but at the end of the day things will happen how…

Bumping! Hope you ladies have a wonderful Fit and Fabulous day! :)

Hi ladies! Glad you all had a great holiday! Ashley I was 1cm dilated at my first cervical check at 36wks and stayed 1cm until 40wks when I was 1.5cm lol (I think they just said that to make me feel better). I didn't change any of my activity and I doubt your doctor would advise you to take it easy either. I mean if your…

Hi ladies! Hope you and those babies are doing great! Just checking in to say hello. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! We did...having it be Charlee's first Christmas it was truly special. Has anyone heard from Nichole? I've been keeping you in my thoughts and prayers hoping you and Hannah are doing well. Keep up the…

Hello ladies! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday! I have to admit I ate WAY too much and was happy to get back to my normal food/exercise schedule today. We had a great Christmas and it was nice to just stay home and spend time with family. Al had Friday off as well as today and tomorrow. He took Charlee after I fed her…

Looks like everyone is super busy with Christmas just around the corner! Hope you are all doing great! :) I did Lindsay Brin's 60 day slimdown workout today and it felt pretty challenging. I'm hoping that the interval training will have the results I'm looking for. I'd like to think I can jump right back into my intense 2…

Hi ladies! Just a quick check in :) Kristin if you are eating nutritious food and staying active, then do not let the number on the scale get you down! I gained the majority of my weight by the middle of the second trimester and hardly gained any weight at all at the end. I ended up gaining 32lbs all together....12 of that…

Hi ladies! Hope you all are having an awesome week! It has been rainy and dreary and cold here so we've just been camping out inside by the fire staying dry and warm :) I am "test driving" Lindsay Brinn's 60 day slimdown this week and starting officially on December 26th (next Monday). I like it so far because it is not a…

Good morning ladies! Charlee slept great last night and only woke up once at 230a to nurse and then we both got up at 7a...so needless to say I feel like a million bucks! lol It is amazing how getting some sleep can make you feel like a different (better) person! :) I changed a few things different last night that I think…

Hello to all of my fabulous mommies! I had a wonderful birthday yesterday. I got lots of birthday wishes, flowers from my aunt, and a beautiful heart shaped topaz necklace (Charlee's birthstone) from Al. I'm going to get a pedi today with my workout bff...her treat! :) Al and I even went into the city (45 minute drive) to…

Hey there ladies! I've been following along with everyone as much as I possibly can... You all seem to be doing pretty awesome! Charlee is napping so I thought I'd pop in really quick and say hello :) To the person who mentioned the Bradley Method...Al and I took the classes and we learned so much. I had already been in…

Hello to my awesome fit momma's! Melissa what an awesome article. Makes me feel a lot better about my choice to have Charlee sleep with me. Charlee is a month tomorrow...wow how time flies! She doesn't have a doc appt until the 29th for her 6 week checkup. I'm so glad to hear that Amelia's rash is clearing up. I can tell…

Good morning ladies! Hi Danielle! Welcome back! And I agree...Tyson is such a cutie! When I start logging my food I plan on doing what Amy and Holly are doing. Amy I ordered the Lindsay Brin's 60 day workout and I'm very much looking forward to getting it in the mail! :) And thank you so much for telling me you are doing…

Good morning ladies! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. My father-in-law came to visit and meet Charlee. It is always awkward when he comes but it was nice to at least have her to talk about and "oooh and ahhhh" over. But besides that it was a pretty uneventful weekend. I'm still trying to figure out the sleeping…

Good afternoon ladies! Hope everyone is having a wonderful Friday! I'm still in my pj's and I've yet to groom...but the laundry is in the works, I've eaten, and Charlee is happily napping while I'm working on ordering prints of her newborn session for "brag books" for our family for Christmas presents. I ordered Christmas…

Good morning ladies! I see there is a lot of talk about what to wear/bring/etc at the hospital.... I will admit I brought WAY more stuff than I needed and there were certain things I'm SO glad I brought. As far as what to wear...I went in wearing sweats and a tshirt with a sportsbra. I went straight into the jacuzzi when I…

Hello to all of my fabulous and fit momma's! Kristy I'm so glad you are doing well. I've kept you in my thoughts and prayers! Sounds like baby is doing awesome...so happy to hear that! Jalyn congratulations!!! I'm so happy for another FFFF member to make their way over here! YAY! Everyone else sounds like you are doing…

Good morning ladies! Funny how the mommy board goes so much slower...less people and less time I'd guess lol. Our nights are getting a little better. I've stopped eating cheese, which has seemed to help. I looked up "grunting baby syndrome" and Charlee DEFINITELY has this! I took her to the chiropractor and she said her…

Morning ladies! Well last night was the worst night we've had so far....Charlee was up all night grunting and groaning and I know it is gas issues and now I am on a mission to eliminate whatever it is that is causing her little belly so much pain. Thank goodness she doesn't cry...but the groaning and grunting is almost…
