A very belated congratulations to you! Glad that your baby is ok and I hope you are doing well. I had my little girl on September 4th (I was due at the end of August). I was scheduled for a repeat c-section on the 5th even though I was desperately hoping for a vbac. I did end up going into labor on my own on the 3rd. I…

I am a mom; feel free to add me! I'd be happy to provide support!

With my first, I was induced, so my husband and I enjoyed a nice big meal before heading to the hospital. With my second, I left for the hospital around 5A, and I did not think to eat before I left. Once I was checked in, they told me I could not eat anything except some ice chips. By the time my baby was born at 9:51P, I…

With my first, I didn't do much exercise at all, and though I tried to eat healthy, I did not monitor my calories. I was induced at 41.5 weeks. With this one, I've been fairly mindful of my diet and have been exercising 5-6 times per week (weights, walking, cycling, circuit training, yoga, etc) . I am now at 40 weeks and 2…

It's difficult to calculate the burn for strength training, but you can log it under the cardio section to get a rough estimate.

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter! Glad everything went smoothly and that you are doing well! :)

Well, I am at 38 weeks now. I was dilated to 1cm yesterday, and the midwife said she was able to feel the baby's head a bit easier than my previous appointment. I am attempting a VBAC, but they want me to schedule a c-section for sometime around 41 weeks just in case. Keeping my fingers crossed that labor will progress…

I did these today as part of my circuit training DVD. I did use weights though. May go back and do some body weight squats later.

With my first, I was induced just shy of 42 weeks. She did not want to come out at all! She never even dropped down. I ended up with a c-section due to multiple complications. Hoping to avoid that this time, and so far the doctors are optimistic.

Just finished Philomena by Martin Sixsmith and will be starting The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith (JK Rowling).

The fitbit does not track heart rate. If you'd like to track your heart rate during cardio workouts, you would need a heart rate monitor.

It's difficult to calculate the calories burned for strength training, but you can log it under the cardio section to get a rough estimate.

If you want to monitor calories burned during cardio only, you may want to look into a heart rate monitor instead.

I don't have any personal experience, but I am glad you asked as I am very interested in reading the responses. I had an emergency c-section with my daughter, and it was actually medically necessary. I am trying for a VBAC with this pregnancy. I am seeing a different group of doctors this time around, and I am so thankful…

Do any of you ladies have experience with Bum Genius? I've read good things about them, and bought a few. I thought I'd ask for more opinions before I went crazy and stocked up though. I do have a couple Lotus Bumz, and I ordered a few G-diapers from Zulily the other day as well. I thought it might be good to try a few…

It could be scar tissue causing the discomfort. I don't have a tear scar, but I do have a great deal of pain with my c-section scar from time to time. My doctor said it is likely scar tissue or possibly ligaments and as long as the pain is not constant not to worry.

My name is Sara, and I have one daughter, Olivia who is 6 years old. She just recently finished K-5. I always loved the name Olivia and chose it long before it became so popular. We are expecting another girl at the end of August. I, too, feel a bit like we are starting over, and I never intended to wait this long, but…

I am planning to cloth diaper this time around. I am not extremely knowledgeable about it yet, but I have been reading a lot. I have picked up a few diapers of various brands and am going to experiment to find out which works best.

So glad to be here! I am 25 weeks pregnant with my second child. She is scheduled to arrive on or around August 31.

I was induced at nearly 42 weeks with my first, and ended up with an emergency c-section. I am trying for a VBAC with this one, but if I go overdue, they will likely recommend a c-section again.

Feel free to add me for support! I am due at the end of August. I'm also expecting a little girl! :)

I am 24 weeks pregnant with my second child. I was about 12 pounds from my goal when we found out we were expecting, so I am trying to keep my gain in check. I'd love to have more support and to support you! :)

Well, looks like this was right for me. We found out today that we are indeed having another girl!

Ok, if there are 524G in the can and a serving size is 252G, that means there are roughly 2.08 servings per can (divide 524 by 252). That means the whole can would be roughly 208 calories (2.08*100). I think I did that right. :)

According to the link, I am having a girl as well. I would love it if it turns out to be true, as I have all girl stuff from my daughter. However, I'll be happy either way. I think we will find out, but we may keep it a secret from our families.

I haven't really slowed down to much and am doing the same stuff as before - zumba, weights, circuit training, cycling, walking/jogging, and yoga. I try to work out 6 days a week, but I am sure I will slow down once I get a bit bigger.

Hello! My name is Sara. My husband and I are expecting baby number 2 in late August. I have a six year old girl who is very excited. I was about 12 pounds away from my goal weight when I found out I was expecting. I am in a lot better shape this time around, and I feel pretty good so far (aside from some nausea and general…

Rodney Yee's videos are also very good.

You could try www.sparkteens.com. It is specifically for ages 13-17.

Definitely agree! If you can't do a class, try picking up some of Rodney's DVDs. He is wonderful!
