Hi friends,

Walking is what everyone is advising me to do? With one toddler at home and working full time ...Its kinda difficult...Have any of u started walking as yet ?

And i've read about this lightening feeling when the baby turns around in the head down position...
? Have any of u felt it yet ...and at which week?

And just for info girls...The day before..I had just one helping of Sweet Potato during tea time...and ended up with severe stomach pain for 3 hours....No prizes for guessing what caused it ....I just walked around hoping the pain would subside...any other ideas on how to cope with such aches & pains in teh future????

Keep writing friends
Love

Nivea, Have your mom got visa already? My mom will go to consulate next month. She will join us from Nagpur in october too.

Take care of yourself
Mekha replied. Exercising during pregnacy can certainly do you a lot of good like relieve backache, prevent constipation etc. I have been exercising before pregnacy so i continue doing it until now. But its never too late to start exercising. I read that walking, stationary cycling is safer during pregnacy. Nowadays being in the third trimester i am always exhausted and i find that there is gradual decrease in my efficency so i like to sit at home but my dh encourages me to walk up to 2 miles per day.

I haven't felt the lightening yet. My stomach sometimes get sour but not heartburn and i rely on tums. Tums really helping me a lot eventhough i don't like the taste of it.

Take care and keep in touch. Padmaja replied. I was working up until Feb of this year and kept a very active schedule but after which they put me on bed rest and though I am fit as a fiddle now, I am scared of over doing so I do go for walks but two or three times in a week for 1/2 hour. So I can say I am not very active person as of now !
Potatos, sweet or other wise can trigger off gas problems, if you are having itching then stop brinjal as well(moms tips !)Eat fruits and drink tons of water they help.
Take care and have a good weekend jyotsna replied. Hi nivea,
Walking becomes quite a predicament.I was working fulltime the last pregnancy but tried to get in some exercise by climbing steps instead of a lift.When are you going to take off from work.Walking is a great toner and best for us pregnant women.
LIghtening usually occurs around now--meaning the 30th week onwards.I feel easing in my heartburn and really feel the baby will pop out any time.
take care and stay in touch
