I shall have a look! What are their sizes like? Do they come up small or true or large? My biggest problem has always been getting jeans to come up over my thighs - they're massive

I'd use that but I was fat before I got pregnant In March I was a uk10/12 but since giving up my job I've piled weight on...Now I'm wearing my old size 16's

If it was just weight around my belly then I'd blame it on bloating but what excuse can I use for my thighs? I've seen smaller tree trunks

Sod it, as of tomorrow I'm going to start my swimming again, at the beginning of the year I was swimming 5km every night (after an hours workout in the gym) I think I'll see how I go with 100 metres to begin with
Anyone know if steam rooms are safe to use when pregnant?

 

[charliekitty]

I don't think u can use steam rooms cause it raises Ur body temp like when u have a really hot bath

Not sure about sizes, just try them on and don't feel bad about getting a bigger size

I lost loads of weight a few year ago and then I put on 3 stone with my last pregnancy!! Im at least an 18 now =(

But hey I'm having another baby lol so it's ok

Xx

 

[disneybelle25]

Yeah dont think steam rooms are allowed im afraid, the swimming is a gd idea,id love to do something like that but dont have the motivation
cant give advice on maternity clothes im afraid,just enjoy trying on!!

 

[Weege]

I get stomach cramps every morning ease off go once ive been for a number 2

also size 18 as i got quite into chocolate digestives after our baby angel was born in january.
i said to the midwife about it and she was lovely and said if your body couldnt handle it, then u wouldnt be pregnant and also she said it doesnt matter how much u weigh, long as ur healthy and eating a balenced diet (with the occasional treat lol) then thats all that matters!

Asda seems to be a good place for clothes. got some maternity leggings that actually fit and the crotch doesnt go down to ur knees like the ones from other places.

Feeling quite positive and excited tonight husband is gunna love me once it comes to bedtime as i seem to be a bit hyper about it all lol x

 

[duckytwins]

welcome louise! i hope you like it here! congrats on your watermelon!

charlotte, i'm so sorry you are feeling down. i get cramps at night or when i'm laying down. i googled them and found the same thing claire did. it seems to be the uterus stretching to make room for baby. they can also be gas bubbles!

isn't it great what our bodies do when we're pregnant?!

naomi, i have the same birthday as mickey mouse! i've always wanted to go to disney on my birthday and run up to mickey and say, "happy birthday, mickey, it's my birthday too!" after 34 years, i finally get to! won't i be a sight to see!?

kate, sorry i can't help with the mat pants issue. but i can say i'm pretty round myself from having the boys (can you still call it "baby weight" if the "babies" are 6 years old?!!) i gained 65 pounds when i was pg with them and never lost it.

good for you doing a workout and swimming! i would too, but i'm afraid of the water... and of exercise! the steam room, sauna and hot tub are out for the next 9 months for us, though! it's too risky.

unfortunately, there are lists of things we can't/shouldn't do and eat. best to keep those bubs in there healthy, so i'll make as many sacrifices as i have to!

i have a horrible cough that i can't get rid of. i'm not sure if it's a cold coming on, or allergies (the weather has been acting up around here lately - it's supposed to be autumn, but we went from having weather at 60°F to 80+°F). i feel bad for bun because i feel like i'm shaking her around down there every time i cough! lol

so the boys will be coming home in about an hour. i really missed them last night. when tyler and i got home from the casino, they weren't here and it was really weird. my nom called and said they were no trouble, so that makes me happy!

i got dinner bubblin away in the crock pot and i can't wait to eat it. it smells wonderful!

i noticed i seem to ramble on sorry that i keep posting novels!

 

[CelticStar]

Ducky I love reading your novels

I thought the steam room might not be allowed Guess that means I'll just have to do more lengths *sigh*

I've got a huge Asda right near me, I think I'll have a walk down there tomorrow and see what they've got! Cheers girls!

Oh, and the dog has decided to try help out with reducing my waistline......By sleeping on me!!

[duckytwins]

weight loss by compression! genius!! i have a kitty on my lap atm. every time i kick her off, she worms back up.

oh, i moved and she got mad and left... sorry kitty, my arm was falling alseep WITH YOU ON IT!! lol

 

[CelticStar]

Yeah...I had my kitten sleeping on me before the dog....Then the dog got jealous, sneezed on the kitten, kitten shot off and is now somewhere near Timbuctoo, dog has made my legs go dead and won't move.....

Have you noticed your animals being more affectionate since you got pregnant? Mine just won't leave me alone now lol!

 

[Iamblessed]

[CelticStar]

yeah I can't get peace from my cats either and I always wake up with our kitten lying on my chest he weighs a frigging ton too

Ive not tried the maternity clothes in next yet but the normal range fits ok. Im a 16 - 18 on top thanks to big boobies and a 12 on the waist but usually need to buy a 14 to fit my big hips in

My bath was brill btw feeling all chilled now

No! my doc told me that you do not want your internal temp to raise that high. no steam rooms or hot tubs!

 

[CelticStar]

Same here, can't wait till I get my appleseed! Hehe!

Beautiful isn't it, babies are only appleseeds, but our bodies are already growing for them..

It's strange, I want to be at the next growth stage but at the same time I want to drag out the pregnancy for as long as possible, not because it's such an easy time (even talking about certain foods or smells make me throw up, by the way, did you know that when you look as if you're going to throw up in a very busy M&S store, the attendants all look petrified ) but because I love knowing that I'm pregnant, that I'm growing our child inside of me....Gives me shivers when I think of it!

Hmm, can I be cheeky and ask what your hips measure? Mine are 120 cms so I can judge my size better if I can compare with someone.....And yes...I know...I have "child bearing hips"

I've always been a shower person but I've noticed that I'm having baths instead now.....I think it's because it's so nice to just lay there surrounded by loads of bubbles

Right, off to bed now, I can't keep my eyes open and my brain is definitely shutting down!

Night ladies, have a good sleep x

 

[Greens25]

I get what you are saying with the pants issue. I am usually a size 10 (not sure what that is in UK size because I live in Canada) and my pants are already tighter. I dont have to buy maternity pants yet but LOVING my Lululemons!

As for cramps I felt them worse in my 3rd and 4th week and only rarely now....like mild period cramps. Friends of mine who have kids tell me it is completely normal.


As sor bowel movements, I am definatly going more often! I read in What to Expect when You're Expecting is because your bowels are loosening and relaxing. You pee more because your kidneys are working in overtime to get rid of waste. Also your uterus is pressing on your bladder and it only gets worse!

How is everyone tonight?

Yes! I have a yellow lab and a pug and they are both usually very sucky Momma's boys but especially my lab is more sucky. Rests his head on my belly now, he never use to do that!
