Originally posted by katie64 Even if you had a forum for it, I think anyone that came across information would post articles, etc. in it, plus you have many women as members here that are young and will eventually be starting families, you also have some mothers here that can share their experiences while being pregnant and also what to do and not do to before, during and after pregnancy, and just think Prince, you might be the only site that has this, which may bring in more traffic

Originally posted by Mudge Certain things like squats can induce labor though can't they? Shouldn't lower impact things be implemented? Not that I've been pregnant, lately. |

damage, whereas the trained men (runners all) experienced very little. Startling study (cont'd) If you haven't yet read yesterday's Health Beat item below, consider scrolling down to give it a quick read. This is a continuation of that item. As we reported yesterday, a recent exercise and pregnancy study out of Case Western Reserve University pointed up some amazing things. Namely, a group of 5-year-old children born to women who had exercised vigorously during pregnancy weighed less and had less body fat than 5-year-old children born to women who did no exercise except walking during their pregnancies. (Head researcher James Clapp, M.D., called the children of the walkers "a bit on the fat side.") Pretty interesting stuff, but what really surprised the head researcher was that the 5-year-olds of the vigorously exercising moms scored significantly better on the Wechsler test of general intelligence and coordination. They also scored higher on tests of oral language skills. A final note on the exercise group: They exercised throughout their pregnancies, doing either running, aerobics or cross-country skiing (or some combination of the three) for 30 minutes three times a week. A startling study on exercise and pregnancy The exercise you do while pregnant may affect your baby years down the road, according to a new study out of Case Western Reserve University and published in the Journal of Pediatrics. The Case Western researchers separated 40 pregnant women into two groups. Group one was told to exercise vigorously (at a level equivalent to easy running) for 30 minutes three times a week. Group two was told to do no exercise except walking each week. At birth the children of the vigorous exercisers weighed slightly less and had less body fat than did the children of the walkers. Not a big deal so far, but here's the interesting thing: At age 5, the children of the exercisers still weighed less and had lower body fat than did the children of the walkers. The children of the exercise group weren't unduly lean, says researcher James F. Clapp, M.D. But the 5-year-old children of the walkers tended to be "a bit on the fat side," he says. |

Originally posted by Dale Mabry Why not a special populations section here. Rather than only have pregnant folk, you could have old foggies, diabetics, handicapped folk, etc. and then just label threads for each topic and list all the info under it as a sticky. I guess it could be an archived, read only deal with tons of info rather than a forum. I wouldn't want the liability of some newbie telling a preggo chick to do deep, heavy squats in her 3rd trimester. Don't know what you would call it, I think special populations may not be intuitive enough. |

Originally posted by Dale Mabry What if I have a friend that is a girl that wants info and wants me to get it for her. Other than pregnancy and menopause, what affliction does a women have that would be handled differently for a male. Diabetics, wheelchair-bound, and people with HIV face the same problems regardless of sex so splitting it up would be pointless. |

Originally posted by Prince I would like to have a general health type forum, but do not have anyone qualified to moderate/lead it. |

Originally posted by BabsieGirl As with any health site, it's clearly understood that ANY advice given is not medical advice and as always the person should seek medical attention from their doctor period. Question: How could Prince be liable? If that were the case, many of the sites I reference would be liable for providing the "possibilities" of such diagnosis, etc......However as with any site, there is always a note which states......."Any or all information should not be taken as medical advice rather, strickly informational!" Which, is what Butterfly and many of the ladies here are asking for..........it's about asking the ones who have gone through preg., what they've experienced, have they competed prior to and after.......what were their diets like ....etc...etc...etc...... There are people on this board asking all sorts of health questions........They're given suggestions, advice, etc...etc...and I don't see those threads being cancelled because of liability issues....Why is that? It's the same thing. |
| what if a pregnant female came here and asked a fitness question and we advised her on it, and she had a miscarriage? |
