Practice mindfulness during pregnancy and enjoy the process
I think so. I don't know.
No, but starting a new excercise program when you are pregnant can be risky for you and your baby.
Access to the Baby Think It Over program is typically targeted at those at risk of unintended or adolescent pregnancy. Contact your local office for information on the program in your area.
Weight watchers is fantastic! They offer special programs for nursing mothers and the program is supereasy and flexible; and you get to eat real food!

yes it is recommended you do exercise through pregnancy but it needs to become more low impact the further along you get - swimming is an excellent form of exercise. Warning though, do not start strenuously exercising if you did not do that form of exercise before pregnancy. Pregnancy is not the time to start a exercise program but if you do feel you would like to start exercising now start with gentle walking for the first trimester - and absolutely no core workouts like sit ups. Please talk with your doctor though to make sure before starting any exercise program.
You can continue with the kettlebell, but I would look into specifically how. There is a video entitled Baby Bells: The Fit Pregnancy Workout It is a fitness program designed specifically for pregnant women. It gives women the option of using the kettlebell when working out.
You can choose from literally hundreds of good programs. One of the top new fat loss programs can be found at: www.fityummymummy.com.
Illinois does not have a state disability program. If your employer provides this benefit, or if you enrolled in a policy before getting pregnant your normal labor and delivery will be covered.
I would consult your physician before undertaking any exercise program. If you are still experiencing hip pain after your pregnancy, then I would wait and see if the pain subsides. A hip injury may be the cause of something else and should be checked by a physician.
It isn't necessary to join any particular program as you can do it yourself. One free tool online is sparkpeople.com. Weight Watchers is also excellent but there are costs involved there.
