After 3 years of trying, I'm finally pregnant!! I want to be super careful for all the obvious reasons so I have a question for the women out here - what kind of exercises did you restrict yourself from doing and what did you replace it with when you were in the pregnancy phase? Also, please comment if you introduced yourself to any new kinds of movement while you were with child, I'd love to explore everything possible to keep this baby healthy and happy!

Congratulations OP! That's great news. And it's greater that you're still trying to stay active as ever. What I did is completely shift from weights to resistance bands. It's quite impressive how much they can help with muscle toning and strengthening while still making sure you're not straining your body too much. And of course, walking. I walked a WHOLE LOT.

I’m a trainer and we always say if you were doing it before, you can keep doing it at a lighter weight, but don’t start anything new or be running for PRs! As you get further along, there are more things that will have to go, but ensuring you are moving (uphill walking, resistance bands) even towards due date will help!

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
