However, you're talking about starting gently and not going and doing a century, so I think you should be ok. Pregnancy and childbirth are natural processes and not an illlness as it was treated a couple of hundred years ago.

I believe if you just take it steadily and listen to your body (make sure you are taking plenty of iron and calcium in your diet so you and baby have plenty of both).

interesting point, Slinke, about the lactic acid crossing over into breast milk - i hadn't heard of that before, but it does make sense!

that's a good idea, it's probably pretty important that i supplement now, if there ever was a time.

I'm definately taking it easy, and going one day at a time.
I really like the stairs idea, but I don't really have convenient acesss.
