Pregnancy Notes: Cardio During the Last Trimester

August 2, 2011

At our family reunion last week my brother commented that all of his sisters were operating at “half-speed”. That would have something to do with the fact that all three of his perfectly lovely sisters are all perfectly pregnant right now. So, yes, “half-speed” is a very accurate statement (if not overly generous, in my [...]
