***May Momma's Friday Check-In***

cherylnicole

Friday's finally here!!  Have a great weekend!

 

QOTD:  What kind of exercise are you doing now that you're pregnant?  Anyone thinking about taking any classes? 

 

*Also, if you missed last check-in, please include your 'guess' on what you think you are having.  It will be put next to your name on the due date list and as we all get into second tri and actually find out, i'll post it next to your guess!

 

Here is our check-in for everyone with a due date in May 2010. If you would like to be added please post your bump name, real name (optional), age (optional), and your EDD (expected delivery date). If we missed you at the last check in please post again.

If anything has changed, like your EDD after an ultrasound, please post an update with your original EDD so you can be easily found on the list.

If you are listed in the due date unknown list, please update your due date for us so that you can be added to the correct date.

Check-ins will be every weekday morning for now, and then will be switched to Mon, Weds, and Fri mornings.  A link to the Check-in will be posted in the late afternoon/early evenings of Check-in day as a reminder.  Feel free to check-in any time that day.  Give us a general update on your progress and anything else you would like to add.  We will have a question of the day as well.

Shandie_725

I'm thinking about starting yoga...

And I'm team green! I go back and forth between saying 'she' and 'he'.  

sblaisure

QOTD: The doctor actually told me not to overdo anything right now. She said even walking at a medium-fast pace is too much for me right now. I guess the only thing I do is walk back and forth to the bathroom.

rohansmom

no exercise for me.I am still trying to gain weight.

Alyssa102

I was a cheerleader before geeting PG and have always been pretty active.  I had a rough 1st tri with M/S and did not do any exerising...I am starting with a pre-natal personal training on Nov. 28...Very Excited!

Molly Jean

I ran a few miles a day until I got a BFP.  Then my energy took a nose dive.

I'm starting back up at the gym on Monday.  Probably not running quite as much, but at least a mile or two.  Then mostly walking.

As far as classes, I don't plan on taking anything while pregnant.  I'll probably spin post-preg in order to lose the baby weight.

christina1313

Dh and I are trying to get more walking back in... not succeeding very well since I am always tired and already having lower back pain.

QOTD:  What kind of exercise are you doing now that you're pregnant?  Anyone thinking about taking any classes? 

 

i try to walk on the treadmill for about 30 minutes 4 days a week.  i also walk the dog around our neighborhood most days.  i'm thinking of taking a prenatal yoga class through the hospital i'll be delivering at.  i'm currently taking zumba class on mondays after work-- LOVE it!

 

baby update: got the results of our NT scan/1st trimester screening and all of our ratios were well below the average for my age range so baby is looking good and healthy!  

Mrs Merlot

Walking and cleaning house.  Who needs a stairmaster?

I also hope to start the winter classes of prenatal yoga through our community program.  Just waiting for them to start!

BabyButler2010

I've been jogging/walking on the treadmill some (not much) and I got a Denise Austin prenatal workout video that I've been enjoying.  Probably won't take any classes  

 

By the way- what is team green all about?  I thought that it meant people weren't going to find out what the sex of the baby is, but now I think I am wrong because a number of people who are team green appear to know whether or not they are having a girl or a boy...super confused and would love to know what it's all about   Thanks ladies!

raeface

I am swimming, walking, and going to yoga.

My EDD has changed from May 18 to May 13 and BOY!

Hi there!  Some of the ladies that are team green were guessing what they think they're having, but of course won't find out until the baby gets here!

PMeg819

I love my Wii, especially my Wii Fit. I hate that it weighs me but I can't tell it I'm pregnant. Oh well. The "exercise" is fun and when I do it, DH usually gets into it and we spend a ton of time competing with each other. I may take a prenatal yoga class, but more to meet other moms-to-be.

laurasue

Now that I'm finally not feeling nauseous all day I'm going to re-acquaint myself with my ellipical. I'm also looking in to prenatal yoga - trying to decide if a class or a DVD is right for me.

stgn01

i haven't been exercising at all.  i feel tired and when i get home, all i want to do is nap!  that said, there is a prenatal yoga class for 2nd & 3rd trimester moms.  i think i'll start that in a few weeks.

 

babybutler - i don't think any of us know the sex yet, it's a little too early.  those are just what we are guessing.  so someone can be team green but still guess what the gender of the baby will be.  hope that helps!

 Thanks for the clarification   Have a great day!

TiffanyClark

I am not doing too much right now...I have just started having more energy though. Last weekend i walked to the park with the kids, so i will do that more often when the weather is ok.

APRILMW

QOTD:  I currently have not worked out in almost 3.5 weeks!!!    Too tired, too sick....

BUT, when I do workout....its usually free weights to stay toned, and then 20-30 min on the treadmill doing fast walking.

coshea1

Can you please add me to May Mommas?

Bump name: coshea1

name: Christena

EDD: 5/12/10

earollins

My exercise has been limited to walking these days, but mixing in some hills. I hope to get a little better once I hit the 2nd tri.

BTW, what is "green team"? I miss that one.

My guess, I think, is Boy...but now I'm second-guessing.

EllaB_04

I have been majorly slacking on the exercise the past couple of weeks! When I DO work out, I walk briskly on a treadmill at the gym, or outside if it's nice. I also do some light upper body weights, mostly arms.

 I just got a prenatal yoga DVD for my birthday, and I'm excited to try it out this weekend! 

MrsPorter

I haven't been working out very much lately. I really need to at least start walking around my neighborhood again.

Jonesn07

I'm really just playing my Wii fit. 3 times a week, 20 minutes each to start. I was only playing once a week, but the dr wants me to up it.

I'm guessing a girl. Funny story, some stranger at a Halloween party told me he knew I was pregnant when he saw me and it's going to be a girl. Plus, (I know it's just a wives tale, but hey), we got the heartbeat yesterday and it's 167 bpm. So who knows! We'd be the first girl baby this generation in our family though.

jifer

Exercise is either walking or the elliptical and free weights to stay tone.

Team green is not finding out until the LO is born.

vane_gator

I've been walking for about 45 minutes after work. I try to go everyday, but sometimes I'm just exhausted. I also have some prenatal exercise videos that I've done a couple of times. I'm planning on starting prenatal yoga at 16 weeks (16 weeks is the recommended time to start for the specific studio I'll be going to)

dcunningham2

QOTD: I still have not been exercising regularly. That stopped around week six. ::sigh:: I did, however try The Perfect Pregnancy Workout Vol I. the other day and it was hard without being straining (especially considering how out of shape I am) and I am still a little sore 3 days later. I hope to get the Prenatal Yoga dvd by Gaiam too. I looked at local classes and they are sooooooooooooo expensive! So between the videos I hope to add in some walking/elliptical/light cardio.

1StepAtATime

QOTD:  What kind of exercise are you doing now that you're pregnant?  Anyone thinking about taking any classes?

I went for a walk around the neighborhood with DH a few days ago and then my allergies went crazy!! So I am guessing I won't be doing that anymore. I am thinking about doing something, but I am worried b/c we ttc for so long and then were finally successful with our FET #2 from an IVF. Plus, I didn't exercise before..so I am not sure if I should start now. What would y'all do if you were in my shoes?? B/c I don't want to get to the birth and have no energy to push!!

aimeelv

I'm still doing the same kinds of exercises I did pre-pregnancy, but I've slowed down a little bit.  I either go to a class at the gym (my favorite is kickboxing, but I also go to Body Pump and yoga) or I do about an hour of cardio split between the treadmill and elliptical usually.  I ran a 5K at 6 weeks and we're doing another one on Thanksgiving.  I think I'll be about 14 weeks then.

We're staying on Team Green so we won't know until May, but I think we're having another BOY  

ETA: I'm due May 30th. 

jacquelinethorne

I'm considered high risk and was told no exercise for first tri. If raking leaves counts that's what I've been doing. I am getting ready to resume yoga and some light cardio, walking/running. Yay for starting 2nd tri soon!

RunningMamaH

I am still running about three miles each time and walking about four on top of that. So about 12-16 miles a week. Yesterday was the first time running in about a month that I could actually run the whole three miles again without stopping to walk! It is great to feel somewhat more like myself again!

I am also taking my regular yoga class but now that I have "The bump" I am making some adjustments. I would love to find a prenatal yoga class later in the 2nd/3rd trimester. I would be afraid of being the only one in there with a tiny bump right now

chazlewo

QOTD: i've not been exercising (bad momma), but plan to start prenatal yoga and jogging/walking now that i'm getting the second trimester energy.

 hope everyone has a great weekend! 

smssy2005

I haven't exercised at all yet. I told myself when I am in 2nd Tri, I will start walking again. That's next week! I've been so tired, just haven't had any energy.

trigirl30

Now that I'm feeling good and have some energy, I'm finally working out again.  3 times a week I do the eliptical for 30 minutes, followed by weights.  I will also be dusting off my pregnancy yoga DVDs. 

avada_kedavra

sometimes i run for the phone at work, but that's about as exciting as i get. i used to run a lot, but i've been so tired and worn out since i've been pg, that i just sleep.

MrsPedersen

Virtually no exercise other than keeping up with my son...I really need to get in gear though!

kate3636

I've been walking everday for about 45 min to an hour.

 I am thinking boy but really have no idea. Find out on the 16th!

naturegirl417

QOTD:  I've always been a regular at the gym, and my doc said I could do anything I wanted (minus my weekly racquetball match) as long as I kept my heart rate under 140 and wasn't straining.  I found my usual morning run was wearing me out, so now I briskly walk the dog on the 3-4 mile route instead.  DH and I try to hit the gym three times a week and I usually stick to the elliptical followed by light weights. 

Laxbugg1410

I'm still running 45mins-1 hour everyday...It's easier to get up now that I'm not exhausted or nauseous, but running is not nearly as easy as it used to be....I get out of breath quickly (sharing oxygen with the LO, I guess) and my nose has been stuffy and my back hurt this morning. A preview of things to come, I guess.

btw

HUGE THANKS to Nicole4312 for keeping track of all our names, due dates, gender guesses, and for thinking of a question we want to answer every 2 days-- GREAT JOB!

tinktink20

I got one of those exercise balls and I've been using that.  I also try to walk the dog.  That's about all I can handle right now

Mysh

So far I've been bad and haven't excersied much. I am looking into some classes because I think that would keep me the most motivated.
