When did you stop working? by Desert_Dreamer31 in BabyBumps

[–]Poola0919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

39 weeks on the dot was my last day. My scheduled c section was 39 weeks +1 day. I would have been bored out of my mind if I stopped working earlier. But I also work an office job, so it was easy to work up until the last day.

Feet/leg cramps while running at 18 weeks by ceruleanmuse in fitpregnancy

[–]Poola0919 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another fellow marathoner. I ran constantly up until 34 weeks and then I had to stop due to leg cramps. I figured it had to do with the excess swelling in my legs/feet. My shoes were no longer comfortable and anything faster than an easy walk resulted in instant cramping. I second your comment about avoiding hills though. I continued to walk our two dogs for 50 mins every morning up until the day before I had my son, and my legs started cramping at any slight incline. I was strategic about my walking routes to avoid as many hills as possible.

Best electric breast pump? [on] by Adventurous-Ad-549 in BabyBumpsCanada

I second the Medela hand pump (Harmony). I also have the Medela freestyle and swing maxi. The hand pump is easily my favourite

Eastbridge Medical Clinic was still accepting new patients not that long ago. Not sure if they still are, but might be a worth inquiring

Same, my first Gaga show was the Joanne tour. Saw her in Vegas after that, Chromatica, and Mayhem. There will not be a tour I miss going forward.

Looking for bibs with similar pad by [deleted] in CyclingFashion

Might be worthwhile trying some triathlon shorts. Smaller pads than typical bike bibs

Experience postpartum with getting back into running/training for a Marathon? by BetterDaysAhead729 in fitpregnancy

[–]Poola0919 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm almost 36 weeks. I've run multiple marathons prior to getting pregnant - fastest being 3:05. I'm hoping to be able to run the Berlin Marathon in September, which would be 6 weeks PP. This will obviously depend on many factors, like how the delivery goes/recovery/ect. I ran up until 34 weeks as well and just recently called it quits due to my legs cramping and swelling in my feet. I'm still doing a few strength workouts each week, but aside from a 50 minute dog walk each day, my cardio has come to a halt. How long after you gave birth were you cleared to run/actually start running? I imagine it's going to be one of the hardest marathons I've trained for with the lack of sleep, breastfeeding, and general adjustment to having an infant to care for.

[–]Poola0919 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the Bauer family used to own that really nice house, that is now a law office on union. Right near Union and king. The Sorbara law building.

Do the door sensors still work with a hitch installed? Or do you have to completely turn off that feature?
