@brianwrites15 It’s true, I suppose I am biased to assume most people talking about sleep training are referring to CIO, etc

@monkeyroo Best of luck. I took a month off after all my fulls - my first three I could barely manage more than brisk walking lol

@ebveloz My first was a frequent waker because of jaundice, and just naturally being an anxious little guy. He’s slept in his own room after 6mo, and at 18mo slept through the night consistently. He didn’t take to sleep training and I didn’t care for the methods, so I didn’t bother. Now he’s...

@monkeyroo You must be a well-seasoned runner to be racing a half only two weeks after a full. Five weeks is the tiniest blip of a baby, you’re fine as long as you haven’t been told otherwise by a doctor. Mine gave the okay yo train for a half at 30wks, and encouraged me to do basically...

@semune Pregnancy isn’t when anyone gets super toned anyway, so the less you can worry about it, the better. I just had my third and worked out consistently the last two pregnancies! But this third one, I didn’t stress when I missed a day, or took a week off/had a super easy week or two. With my...

@nomoresmiles I kept my favorites and ditched the rest. I plan to pick up a few pieces in my current shape to help me feel more confident

@semune What are you worried for specifically? If it’s pregnancy related go see the specialist/OB. If it’s about working out, don’t stress about it. The first is always a toss up and you’ll see minimal decline in fitness even if you have to take a few weeks off

@sahabds Why such high mileage? If you’re not training for anything, why? That can so serious damage and the likelihood of your ED feeding off that is pretty high. Go see a doc to make sure this is healthy for you, the food you might be needing or missing, hormone level, etc

@felicitys Yes. Even if you’re feeling great, don’t push it or you’ll find out the hard way. Do breathing and Diastasis recti stuff so when you’re actually healed you can return faster. You don’t have to sit around, but you’re healing even when you can’t see it happening Edit for tense

@felicitys Have the treats you want, just add a healthy fat or protein. I super craved sweets for like 10 weeks this last pregnancy. So I made a yogurt bowl from Two Good yogurt (2g sugar!), and put whatever I was craving. A sprinkle of shredded coconut, a generous pinch of mini m&m’s, dark...

@brendawwentz If this is in regards to US, we definitely need more pressure on legislators. Particularly red states, who were the ones responsible for shooting down the inclusion of education and childcare aid in the recent omnibus package

@carlett There’s really nothing much to be done until PP, so try not to obsess over it. KT tape has some YouTube tutorials but I don’t pretend to know if it actually helps or just alleviated a little pressure. Maybe try that. I’d suggest working on supporting muscles so PP can go smoother...

@cuteness20 I worked out all my second pregnancy with strength and cardio. I have had such a hard time coming back in the 18mo since I’ve had baby. Now pregnancy with #3, and feeling a little deflated about not seeing the results I’ve been working for since then. But that’s my own issue with...

@quilly You don’t have to justify your reasonings here. Buy a shirt with some sassy words about working out and pregnancy. Or just look them dead in the eye and say “I’m not pregnant”

@boyofthefuture This seems 50/50 on the breastfeeding. I EBF and I had so much trouble losing weight because anytime I did it too fast my supply tanker. That and having PPD with my first was super difficult

@kira_b24 PORQUE

@kira_b24 That is an incredible name and I hope you made a placard

@cuteness20 Relaxin can be a B. Plus, you have vastly more blood pumping through your body, sustaining a life inside of you; that takes energy from you every second of the day even if you cannot actively feel it.

@erinbeery Sounds about right, your body is working overtime to finish up cookin the baby. I won’t give my calorie burn bc it varies so much between person to person, type of workout, etc. I notice exhaustion creeps in sooner at the end of pregnancy of course

@ruella Anecdotal but I’ve done races for my first and third pregnancies, did HIIT workouts etc and every one my babies has been born with perfect oxygen. This is outdated advice I think some docs just default to because it’s easier to make broad generalizations as opposed to truly getting to...
