Boy mom here with a question for you girl moms :)

For my recent run of three girls I had become a couch potata after moving to a new house no longer on a big hill and buying a car, my muscle turned into visible flab! Toning was somethin I saw as very important to help me get my new little fella :)

I lived in NYC at the time and probably walked at least 2 hours a day. I was also underweight at the time.

Thanks for all the responses ladies! I am a boy mom, but was a couch potato before having him except for walks with my dog. I had been in a bad car accident about 6 months before so I couldn't work out. I also ate banana's like crazy before conceiving him, as well as lots of red meat, always ate breakfast, healthy lunch and big dinner.

I feel like most girl moms I know do cardio.

Moderate exercise. Walking and Pilates mostly. With DS 1, I was a server. The kitchen was downstairs and the dining room was upstairs so that was a lot of cardio carrying dishes up and down stairs for 10 hours a day.

Google it, it's a good indication of how much or how little testosterone you were exposed to in the womb. Most men's third finger is longer than the first. I reckon I was closer to conceiving a dd back then when I was skinny and working hard!

It's not so much what you do, it's the effect it has on your body that truly sways. So one lady can do X, Y, Z and have girls and another woman can do Z,Y X, and have boys and it's very hard to tease that out because there are so many factors coming into play and our bodies are all unique, both genetically and in terms of history.

Declining maternal condition seems to sway pink, improving maternal condition seems to sway blue, and all our sway tactics are just ways to try and convince our bodies that our condition is declining/improving. We can look for overall trends and try to tap into them, but there will never be a magic bullet that's going to sway for everyone every time - just like there are smokers who live to be 100 and never get lung cancer, but smoking does still cause cancer, of course. Some people have great genes, some have excellent diets, some people just get lucky, others get cardiovascular disease instead and die from that before they can get cancer - overall smoking still causes cancer. Swaying is the same way...even more so because there's also whatever our partners bring to the table.

That's my experience too Kasey. The people who are SUPER into exercise are all girl moms and also women who are NOT into exercise at all.

no exercize for me either

All a lone raising 3 kids. Early morning BD with O then wash afterwards. Quickly walk/run with DS3 a in stroller through snow to catch bus. Skip breakfast sometimes drank Slim Fast in morning. Then a late lunch veggie wrap with Swiss cheese. Busy with work. Active moving job. Highly stressed not worried about conceiving. I was also BF DS3 a little at night.

Potato couch
I have 3 girls did nothing guess it was a chance thing
