However, I also started my road to recovery a little earlier than my other C-section. If you ask most females recovering from C-sections the second time tends to be easier, because they know what to expect. They are also busy running after two, not one! I also knew what to eat and how to balance my time better this time through.

My friend also bought Baby Bells and really likes that workout too (she's trying to get pregnant so she decided to try that workout the other day).<br /><br />Can't wait to hear more from you! I've read all the kettlebell and nutrition info I can get my hands on. I'm looking forward to reaching some old AND new goals. :)<br /><br />PennyPensguyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01070367708282434296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575702397304431805.post-1623892293437087122009-04-28T18:23:00.001-07:002009-04-28T18:23:00.001-07:00anytime Lauren!! thanks for the bday greetings!! ...anytime Lauren!! thanks for the bday greetings!! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575702397304431805.post-22718559969265607032009-04-28T18:23:00.000-07:002009-04-28T18:23:00.000-07:00anytime Lauren!! thanks for the bday greetings!! ...anytime Lauren!! thanks for the bday greetings!! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575702397304431805.post-13694521018087141332009-04-26T21:03:00.000-07:002009-04-26T21:03:00.000-07:00Regina,

Congratulations on your pregnancy. Than...Hi Tommi,<br /><br />Congratulations on your pregnancy. Thanks so much for your very nice words! <br /><br />With both pregnancies I did not take any Prenatal vitamins. I took a B vitamin, which has all the Folic Acid you need and I took Greens (which contains everything you need). Felt great on it! I still take them as well! If you want to read more about them they are on my website in my Nutrition store. I did not have morning sickness or any deficiencies for any of my pregnancies. Feel free to email me for more questions. Good luck with your pregnancy!!!Lauren Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07329485509526075515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575702397304431805.post-86362202414063713622009-04-22T11:40:00.000-07:002009-04-22T11:40:00.000-07:00Lauren,

I am pregnant for the first time and just ordered your pregnancy workout dvd. I have been resting so much the first 7 weeks that I feel sluggish and stagnant. I am typically in the gym four days a week before pregnancy. ANyway thank you for the motivation to not let pregnancy = obesity. I was also wondering being the natralist you are why typ of prenatle vitamin care were you taking? Mine make me sick ad smell like metal this is my fourth shot at a different vitamin.

We have kept him out of the ER so far this year, with healthier special eating. He is not on as strict of a diet right now than before, because his gut has healed tremendously. Although, he is starting to get comfortable again and that's what drives up back in the ER. <BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for the compliment.Lauren Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07329485509526075515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575702397304431805.post-6757167866687166022009-04-03T08:04:00.000-07:002009-04-03T08:04:00.000-07:00Melissa,Thank you.

I was fairly lean and athletic before my first pregnancy, but found that after I had my daughter Lily, I had to eat a TON to make enough milk for her. When I finally stopped nursing, I was in the habit of eating more (and worse) food, and never got back down to the size I wanted. And then I got prego again! So after this baby comes in June, I'm trying to figure out how I can eat enough to produce good milk, but not OVEReat and get myself into a rut like last time. Do you think maybe you could post something about what your current diet is? Or can you recommend any good books?<BR/><BR/>Thanks! <BR/><BR/>Chloe is adorable!!!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10102246726668647624noreply@blogger.com
