Anyone here just have a baby in Sept or October?
My baby girl (#3) finally made her appearance Oct 5th! (I was due 9/25) While I won't be getting into exercise for another 2-4 weeks, depending on how quickly my body heals (stops bleeding), I am totally stoked to start up in November. At 2 weeks PP, I have about 50lbs I'd like to lose, though my main goal is getting a…

Anyone redoubling their efforts for the New Year?
I'm starting afresh tomorrow! I'm almost 3 months PP, so I feel in a better place to get consistent. This is my first baby (out of 3) that isn't sleeping through the night yet, which is sort of a bummer. But she sleeps in our room, so thats probably why. (There isn't anywhere else to put her unfortunately). I know lack of…

September births!
Where are we all at ladies??? Its our month! I'd love to hear how everyone's bodies are preparing for labor and find out who has their babies and when! I'm due 9/25 (38 weeks tomorrow!) with my 3rd. Had been getting a lot of strong BH last week, wrapping around from lower back cramping, but its died down. Baby still high,…

TENS machine in labor
This seems to be common outside of the US as a means of pain relief. How does it work? I have a little personal TENS machine I bought online to help with muscle spasms in my back. Is this the same thing? Do you put it on your stomach to help with the uterine muscle? Or do you use it on your back? I've been wondering since…

Pelvis is starting to hurt!
My pelvis/hips/lower back suddenly has started really hurting! I mowed the lawn for an hour yesterday and felt fine until afterwards. I'm thinking the loosening joints must be starting up or something. I'm almost 24 weeks now) I'm really hoping to start seeing a chiro by the end of month. Anyone else currently seeing one?…

Homemade probiotics...
Anyone make kefir or kombucha at home? Do you drink it regularly still? I go through phases. Somehow I've managed to not kill my scobies/kefir grains while leaving them dormant for long periods of time. I've been thinking about starting back up, but I'm kind of on the fence. Just wondering if anyone else does them or has…

Home birth anyone?
Anyone here having a home birth? This is my third pregnancy and I am hoping to have one! My first two pregnancies ended up being inductions which were really hard! I hated the aggressiveness, the lack of privacy, and with my last birth...I felt very degraded by the doctors. So, home birth it is! I'm so excited! I'd love to…

Brewer Diet
Anyone heard of or follow this? I have a lot of friends who are into Traditional foods who have followed it. I was into Traditional foods for a while myself (raw milk, grinding my own wheat to make bread, avoiding anything refined, eating healthy fats, etc), but haven't had the time or energy to keep up with it over the…

Exercise question
In the 6 months before getting pregnant, I was active, but not always consistent. I hit a record low weight in July before my husband returned from deployment. I was very fit, doing all the mowing/gardening, etc all summer. Once he got home, I sort of stopped all that and started gaining weight. I decided to start lifting…

Garmin Forerunner 305...treadmill
I just got a forerunner 305 and hrm chest strap, but right now I'm running indoors. It isn't working to track my calories burned. How do I get it to work while running on the treadmill? Since I'm not going any distance, its not computing, but it does give a heart rate reading. :/

reach goal weight or build muscle?
I think I have several question really. I'm getting really close to my goal weight and its become increasingly difficult to lose. I could restrict my calories more and get there more quickly I guess, but I like the idea of building muscle. I do have quite a bit of muscle, but I know I have a layer of fat on top. I also…
