I hope to find the time to post Skia's birth story soon... Karen Thanks for the tip, Karen. I'm actually thinking of doing some yoga when I reach third trimester. Do you think it's safe to do this just by following instructions from a book? Connie I attended yoga classes from week 14 until my due date, and highly recommend starting asap after the first trimester. You won't really need all that time for the birth, but it kept me more fit and mobile during pregnancy. If you get a good *antenatal* yoga book, it's probably safe. although my teacher pointed out a lot of things that we should pay special attention to or do different if we had certain aches and pains. I liked the class, and the 20 minutes of discussion at the beginning of each class, when all women (who wanted) briefly shared their experiences. And I lacked the self-discipline to do the exercises at home alone unless my back was *really* killing me. But then I was lucky, and the classes were held at lunchtime literally two minutes from my place of work. Another teacher, whom I actually liked better, held her classes much further away (half an hour by bike, longer or impossible by bus) in the evening, and I was always too tired to make it (and also thought that the expense of one class a week was about right). HTH, Karen |
