best quiet baby monitor image
Axumult
I see a LOT of holier-than-thou parents in real life, and elsewhere, preach about all this QT one is supposed to have with one whose attention span rivals a forest creature. I'm asking, if the child is in no obvious distress and is happy, or resting, should the parent fix a sandwich for his or herself if they are hungry? Is it cool to do a few loads of laundry, or maybe even take out some garbage or check your e-mail if baby is on her mat playing with blocks? Or, is this child abuse and neglect? Should the parent just fix their presence before the child with insta-bond and leave only to put baby in their crib for bedtime/naps? If so, where do they sell IV's for parents and are there new robots issued out to parents at the hospital that cook, take out trash, do the wash, and etc? Just wondering...I never got my issue or my IV (still looking), and I feel like a bad parent because she gets stuck (gasp) watching TV sometimes while I throw a grilled cheeze together for myself.

Aw hon sounds like you are terrified of being misjudged, which only tells me that you are probably a darn fantastic mom! Look, children will always get into trouble, no matter what you do or how close you are. Those quiet moments are gold, so do what you must. If the child is sleeping, use a room monitor. If they're involved with their favorite toy, keep them in plain sight. No manuals are available, but common sense is a must. Not to worry. God gave you your share when he made you!

Is it safe for the baby for me to exercise so vigorously?
Q. I do a light weight training session of 20 minutes prior to doing a one hour cardio routine. I read recently that your heartbeat shouldn't get above 140, but I always am above 140. My cheeks get red. I also read that the baby has a harder time to cool off when I get heated. Will the heat cause brain or any other type of damage? Has anyone out there worked out 5 days a week vigorously and still had a healthy baby? I feel fine, I just want my baby to be healthy.
Answer
You shouldn't allow you core body temp over 102F when in the first trimester as it can cause birth defects. This is true for exercise, hot tubs, saunas, and illness.
Hyperthermia and Pregnancy

The changes in the 1994 guidelines largely are the removal of somewhat arbitrary restrictions on exercise session duration and maternal heart rate, as studies have demonstrated that earlier cautions were unwarranted, and that women tended to naturally adjust their exercise intensity with respect to the developing pregnancy.
The concerns about the 140 BPM maternal heart rate, exercise duration, and body core temperature were due to concerns that excessive maternal core temperature during exercise (especially in first-trimester women) might impair fetal development, as problems such as spinal bifida had been backtracked to excessive maternal core temperatures in some instances (such as when the mother was ill).
However, more recent research has demonstrated that women may exercise safely at higher intensities than previously thought, and that perceived exertion ("mild to moderate exercise") proves an effective safeguard when properly applied. Moreover, given the variation in ages of pregnant women, plus the wide variation of maximum heart rate in the general population, an arbitrary maximum heart rate specified by a single number was virtually meaningless.

In general, you shouldn't go for the burn or exercise to exhaustion. Listen to your body and stop exercising if you feel if you've done too much. Because you'll have less oxygen available for aerobic exercise, you should generally stick to 60 per cent of your maximum heart rate while pregnant. Some women like to monitor their heart rate while exercising, but you should never rely on this alone as heart rates in pregnancy can vary widely. A good rule of thumb is to slow down if you can't comfortably carry on a conversation while exercising.
And stop exercising immediately if you experience dizziness, shortness of breath, feeling faint, vaginal bleeding, difficulty walking, contractions, or unusual absence of fetal movements. Do bear in mind that your baby is often most quiet when you're exercising.
