babydecember`s poll Show results | Hide results


Pregnancy-poll poll For those of you who exercised during pregnancy, what week did you stop? I`ve been going to the gym 4-5x/week for 30 min or so for most of my pregnancy (doing the eliptical or walking on the treadmill). Now that I`m 37 weeks, I`m just not motivated anymore. My ankles are swollen most of the time, and my knees, feet and groin are sore. I pretty much limp around pathetically when I walk. 30 min walking on the treadmill just wipes me out now, and I`m too tired to do anything for the rest of the day. I feel so pathetic, and I want to stay healthy...but when do you give up? I plan on working back into things post pardum btw. Thanks!

I did my elliptical up until the night before I was induced. 2-6 miles a day.

Geez hun just be happy you made it this far! Good for you! Listen to your body and i say take a break! You are almost at the end now. :)

I agree listen to your body, although towards the end of my pregnancies is when I did it even more. It can start contractions...which at around that time I wouldn`t have minded it at all :)

I say listen to your body. It sounds like it is telling you to slow down. Take this time to be a little lazy :) I did yoga throughout my pregnancy and even that got tiring at the end. I think I probably stopped around 37 weeks too

Have you tried water aerobics? I feels amazing to be in the water while pregnant. It takes all the weight and pressure off. If you try it just don`t jump. The instructor will tell you what you can and can`t do.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
