*** NOVEMBER 2011 BABIES ! *** Chrysanthe-Mums - 39 babies here already!!!

[Angelique]

I have a question.... I know its ok to exercise while pregnant, and all that, but I am wondering if anyone is familiar with the 30 day shread, its by Jillian Michaels and a 20 minute cardio/hand weights video.... I am hoping to tone up a bit and be in better physical shape before my baby comes... I'm not trying to lose, just stay in shape... something other than round. Just because my belly is round doesn't mean my butt needs to be right??

 

[LunaLady]

I have that DVD and have done the 30 days on numerous occasions - it's pretty intense. Have you done it before? Even the 1st level had me sweating a ton by the half way point. I've never been pregnant before and I'm super naive about this stuff, but just for me I wouldn't do it. I'd ask your doctor, though

 

[Angelique]

I have done it before, and it is intense... but I can do it with ease... I know some moms go running, and I am not a runner lol, but I do love that workout... maybe I will see how I feel doing it

 

[DrGomps]

I know its really bad to get your heartrate up beyond 150 bpm also you don't want to raise your body core temp too high because that could cause problems with enzyme function which would hinder development. So I would workout moderately.

 

[Angelique]

ooo I didn't think about that... dang, I love a good workout too... Time to buy a heart rate monitor, I want one likr they wear on the biggest loser.... thanks

 

[repogirl813]

angelique please keep in mind that they say not to do anything that you worknt normally do on a normal basis not pregnant so if it wasn't something you were doing recently before getting pregnant i wouldnt suggest just jumping right into it now that you are pregnant, just my personal oppinion

 

[Angelique]

Thanks Repogirl, I actually had been doing that workout up until about 2 weeks ago when suddenly I got lazy, I alternated that with just dance on the wii, played it with my girls. and running the stairs at the high school bleachers... I was on a roll... maybe I should just stick to playin the wii with my girls, its much more fun =)

 

[amerikiwi]

Hi, can I be added to the November list as well?! We're expecting number 2 on the 7th of November!

 

[sweetie_c]

Amerikiwi welcome & congrats ishing you a happy healthy 9 months

I did another digi test today and it said +3weeks phew that's means I'm over 5weeks pregnant.

My bloated stomach is starting to go down thank God :happy:

 

[Emx]

Thanks for the welcome Angelique.. and hello to Amerikiwi... its nice to see this thread filling up with newly pregnant ladies.

I did another test this morning and its still faint - I remember it being the same with my first pregnancy, I was nearly 8 weeks pregnant before I stopped taking tests, they didnt get any darker and I had a scan and saw for myself little bean jumping about.. so frustrating because although I know a faint is still positive, it would be nice to have a big dark 'in ya face' line! If you know what I mean!

Still not going to post a ticker until next week and AF is well and truly late!!

 

[Nyn]

Congratulations and Welcome to the new November mamas!! and woo hoo we've made it to the 1/11/11 due dates!!!

hope you all have a good day! xxx

Hello to all the new ladies! for sticky beans!!!

BabyAnise... any news my dear?? Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and sending loads of sticky baby dust

Fides my love... I'm sorry that you were so upset yesterday ... you are a lovely, caring lady and I'm sure Mrs HJO doesn't think you're an inconsiderate person! I know there is a difference in the numbers, yours being higher cos you're further along and possibly implanted a day or two earlier... but you both needed your numbers to double... and that happened with both of you! So I'm thrilled that your little baby beans are behaving and growing as they should!!

It a scary time.. I've had miscarriages before, one at 7 and one at 10 weeks and it's awful... and it's hard seeing others around you pregnant.. but as a very wise lady on here says.. try enjoy every moment you have!! I keep thinking of my friend in real life, who's struggling to conceive and makes me realise how lucky I am that I get the chance to grow a baby! It makes me stress a little less!

Anyway... that's enough babble from me... Angelique.. not sure if your question has been answered yet... but the cabbage is supposed to be cooked and then drained and then you add wee to the juices... or something along those lines! Think Loola and Nyn know how it works!

I've been to work today.. so naseous this morning still getting strong feelings in abdomen.. hard to describe, some times like a pressure, other times like a pulling and other times like a cramping.. it's weird! But no bleeding so we'll just keep swimming.. swimming.. swimming (a la Dory in Finding Nemo)

Chat soon lovelies... Cath xxx

 

[DrGomps]

emx do you have a picture of your test? Hows everyone feeling?

This morning feeling so nauseous but still trying to force myself to do a workout so I stay in shape. Glad its friday. Any neat weekend plans?

 

[MummyCat]

Hiya Dr Gomps! Good on you for working out! I'm useless when it comes to exercise.. I have such good intentions... and then inevitably get distracted by something that really isn't that important!

Hope the nausea hangs about for a bit! all a good sign things are as they should be!

Plans for us... going jewellery shopping for me tomorrow got my eye on a bracelet from Links of London that I'm getting from some of my family members for my 30th! and a 2 year old party to attend on Sunday.. Lottie's boyfriend's party

You got much on?

I agree... Em.. can we squint at the lines for ya?? x

[MummyCat]

Glad it's slowly honey... hope it stops completely xxxxxxx

 

[DrGomps]

awe...sorry babyanise..have you talked to your Dr? At least its stopping...where there chunks or just blood?

mummycat, lottie has a bf? LOL!! Adorable!

DH is working all weekend...not sure what I will do tomorrow...definitely come into lab and check on the mice, on Sunday going into Manhattan to have lunch with a gf and watch a chick flick.

So I started watching one born everyminute addicted!! makes me cry!! Can't believe that will be us in 35 +/- weeks!!

 

[MummyCat]

LOL... yeah she does... well technically it's a friend we see most often and the two spend all their time chasing each other and giggling it's very cute!

Sounds like a nice weekend planned! What is it that you do? I gather something scientific My Mum's a lab manager in Infection Control at Johannesburg General Hospital... so been brought up in and out of labs!

One born every minute has me in tears ALWAYS! Brilliant though... and it's very much like what they show! Yeah.. before long we'll be reading each others birth stories...

DrGomps- love that show too! Those women crack me up. Although I shouldn't laugh because we are all headed in that direction! Was addicted to Deliver Me too but the season is now over. That one is very informative. I learned alot. Maybe TOO much!

 

[Maman]
