Bad Lamaze Excercises...

[BooBoo & Riley]

So at 9 months pregnant, we just went to our first Lamaze class the other night where I learned of a great stretching excercise to relieve some of the back pain that I have...

Unfortunately this excercise's got me on my fours on the ground and my head moving up and down my arms/shoulders. The dogs can't figure out what the heck I'm doing and so they assume that I'm in a playing mode position with them... I've been head butted, licked on my face and neck, and just generally distrubed as I'm supposed to do these excercises in peace... agh!! :0

That is too funny. If you need relief for back pain get a heating pad and rotate hot and cold every 10 minutes... You might be in early labor... I hope you have a great labor and Delivery... Additions to the family YEH!!! I would get strange looks from Daisy.. She would be like what are you doing exactly

You poor thing! I remember doing that stuff 21 years ago. And the aching back as well. Those last few weeks, I couldn't wait for the baby to be outside - Good luck to you!! And Congratulations on your impending arrival!!

AAAAHHHH the first of lifes many joyful interruptions! Start getting used to them...I don't think I can remember a time when I could do anything without a kid or pup butting in!

Congratulations! I am so very excited for you! I hope all goes well, please keep us posted!

you can do them on your bed with the door closed.

There's no way I can do anything on the floor, it's an open invitation for a hug!

we have a open floor plan connecting our kitchen, diningroom and livingroom
When i was starting labor for child #3 I knew walking was good, so it was the middle of the night and I kept walking laps around the house for a couple hours. The dog sat there and looked at me like I was crazy. It was so funny!
But it must have worked because i had the easiest labor & delivery with her. Wishing you the same

Ah yes I know this all too well. When I get the yoga mat out Magoo thinks it's for him to lay down on and will constantly try to help me if I'm stretching. When the baby gets here you will be spending even more time on the floor playing with him or her =) and your dogs will want to be right there checking things out. Congratulations on the baby!!

Aw its sweet tho :D Every time i get on the floor to do yoga/crunches - Adam sits on me then lays on me!!! LOL DH keeps telling me he's gonna get the video camera out.

For the back aches - some swimming/stretching in the pool works wonders! Being in the water completely takes all of the weight off your tired body. of course, you CANNOT picture what you look like in a bathing suit! LOL :D But it really helps.

Congrats on the (very soon to be :D ) addition!!

Congrats on the impending arrival!
No labor pains here - but I have been banished to the basement to exercise - all three think its wrestle mania time!
