C-Section moms
I was wondering if anyone else had c-sections. I delivered 9 days ago via emergency c-section. My belly feels so weird, and all my fat has migrated south...just so weird. Just wondering if I was alone?

Hello

I ended up gaining around 60lbs!!! 9 days PP I have lost 33lbs, but of course have a lot more to go. I am just looking for support from other new moms. I am hoping to lose a…

Vacation with new baby?
I am a first timer and was wondering how difficult you think it would be to take baby on a vacation in January, which he will be about 2 months then. My parents are renting a condo on the beach in Florida and have invited us for a free stay basically. I figured it would be nice to get away and have live in babysitters for…

Does anything really work?
For all of you already mamas out there, I was wondering if anything really helps to start labor? I will be 40 weeks Saturday and really don't want to be induced. I've heard all the things...sex, bouncing on a ball, walking to name a few. I was wondering if you had experience with this and/or if anything really seemed to…

Castor Oil
Ok, so this really sounds disgusting to me. But, last night I was talking to a family friend and she was talking about how she had to poop during her labor and they wouldn't let her get up. She feels that this made it that much more painful. I personally know I get a lot of pain down there when I have to go. She also has…

Vaccines for you
I have been thinking about this lately and was wondering what other ladies' thoughts were on this. After reseraching I am going to get the flu vaccine, but am going to request the kind without thimerosal. I also know I need to get the Tdap, but I"m debating if I should get it now or right after birth. The only thing that…

Induction
So I was wondering what your experiences were with this. I am honestly really afraid to have to get induced, because the women I've talked to, it makes their labors more intense and more painful. I want to try my best to not use drugs. I know I'm worrying ahead here, but that's what I do. I'm currently 29 weeks pregnant,…

What did you take when you had a cold?
I've had a pretty bad cold that started Sunday. I really don't like to take anything, but I've been very miserable and it's difficult to sleep and keep caught up on school and work. I did buy halls drops that aren't for cough but the defense ones. The doctor's office said I could take Tylenol cold or Robitussin and any…

Husband
So, I was just wondering how your signficant others (if you have them) are responding to your pregnancy. I sometimes get frustrated because I'm worrying about all this baby stuff, and my husband kind of cares, but I can tell it's not on the top of his list. In a way I want him to just enjoy his last few months of freedom…

Feeding schedule?
So I was visiting my friend the other day who has a 5 week old baby, and she has him on a feeding schedule. She woke him up while I was there to feed him. I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand it would be really nice, but on the other hand, it feels kind of mean to wake up a sleeping baby. Just wanted thoughts from…

What did you get?
After I finished my registry I was wondering from people who have had kids or have had their showers if most people bought from the registry or just bought whatever. I'm really hoping people follow the registry, there is a lot on there I need and want. I am also going to put in my invitations no clothes because my mom got…

HRM vs bodybugg
I know this has done before, but I just wanted opinions for my situation. I have used the bodybugg pretty consistently in the cold months and for this particular Turbo Fire video it said I burnt around 550 calories for 55 minutes. However, when I got pregnant I purchased a HRM Polar FT-4 so I could track my HR of course.…

Cord blood?
Anyone doing this? I have recently got information about it from my insurance and it seems like a good idea. I'm not sure of the cost yet, anyone know? My insurance offers a $200 discount. It's just one of those things I would hate not to do. Just looked it up and cor cell costs 2075, but I think they offer payment plans.…

Question for working moms
I was wondering how long everyone is planning on taking off? I want to take 6 weeks minimum, but it depends when I actually have my baby. My EDD is 11/17, so no matter what I want to take off until after Christmas. It just sucks because I only have 7 days of paid time off, but I'm not sure if I still get the paid holidays…

Having trouble holding heavy weights
I recently started Chalean Extreme again (didn't make it through the first time). I have a very weak grip and have trouble holding heavy weights for very long. On lower body I can't go over 15lb per leg because I can't hold on to them for a long time, and my forearems are always hurting. Also, with rows I can't hold heavy…

Need suggestions
I started losing weight January of 2011. I did the Turbo Fire program and watched my calories. I'm pretty much at my goal weight, wouldn't mind losing a little more, but want to focus on losing fat. Up until this point I have not been the healthiest eater. So I am taking baby steps, and first I am eating more fresh foods.…

General nutrition question.

zig zagging calories
I know there has been a lot posted on here about. I just read through several searches from other forums as well. I understand the concept, but didn't know if anyone could answer my question. Should you zig zag your net calories or just pick a set number and stick to that regardless of what you burnt? My calorie burn…
