Very lucky. #1 was neither really good or really bad and I had anticipated the new little guy to be more of a handful so I think, so far, I've just been lucky and have benefited from expecting the worst.wow, Beetle, you are lucky. my #2 son was so much harder than my #1 son
that if he'd been born first, I would have stopped RIGHT THERE!

Now you know why I asked the question
My doc and lactation nurse gave me the go ahead and since I resumed training, my son continues to gain the right amount of weight if not more each week. I consider myself lucky.

This is very cool TriCanada, good luck with your tri and raising the new baby! Your kid is going to be very proud of his mom when he sees the pics from the tri many years from now, I can tell you that!
The more I read about this, the more I think I'll pick up marathon running and not cycling randoneering after giving birth though! At least when running you don't have to sit on the sensitive bits!!
Good luck!

Dear Team Estrogen:
Can we maybe not bump this thread and its terrifying title and first post until AFTER I have my baby? It's only one more week!
Having nightmares,

Good Luck in your Tri!
I had a third degree tear with over 20 stitches, I don't think I could have done a tri so soon after birth. Come to think of it, I don't think I could have trained for a tri while pregnant.
Good Luck!!If I can't go fast, at least I look good.
