2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

Yes, Aliop that is seriously impressive weight loss. I had a very unhealthy BMI of 31 after having my two daughters and am now much happier with a current BMI of 24. Not keen to gain weight again this pregnancy but last time was a cumulative effect as the pregnancies were almost back-to-back.

Lol ladies I'm just off into my other voluntary job for 3 hours I wonder how much chatting you'll all have done by the time I finish at 12

I remember being pregnant with summer and throughout third try id have this reoccurring dream that I gave birth to summer and somebody stole Her from the maternity unit. It was awful and I'd usually wake from it sobbing.

Have a good morning Tally.

 

[tallybee]

I'd be disturbed by that dream natasha holy crap x

 

[allforthegirl]

Welcome to all the new momma's

Dreams for me are just weird.....but so far have had no dreams of babies or my children haha. I could go on and on about dreams last time.

 

[tallybee]

My dreams are just weird full stop lol x

Hi :wave: welcome to the group, same to you xxx

 

[tallybee]

Just gone and broke my no more testing resolve lol gone up to 3+ on CB digi!

 

[GingerPanda]

Welcome, new ladies! :wave:

AFTG, I'm glad the spotting is stopping, and you're feeling better!


I'm overweight, myself. PCOS made it nearly impossible for me to lose weight, then Hashimoto's destroyed half of my thyroid. We're not sure how long I was untreated for hypothyroid, but I gained 20lbs in ONE MONTH with no change in diet or exercise! My weight is stable now that I'm on the levothyroxine, but I'm the heaviest I've ever been (just under 200lbs). Theoretically, I should be able to lose weight now, but I got knocked up and now I'm afraid to do any heavy cardio!

I do take tae kwon do, so I'm not a total couch potato. Lol

Haha I was at Walmart and I debated buying another test. I'm very proud of myself that I didnt. As much as I want my test line darker than control or see a 3+ am way to scared not to. So I'm good.

 

[tallybee]

GingerPanda I think we need to concentrate on healthy right now rather than thinking about weight per sè. I'm normally really averse to gaining weight but during pregnancy is the only time I feel able to let go of that.

Aftg I only did that test because it was still in my handbag from last week lol xx still got 2 superdrug ones but don't think there's much point in going them x

Welcome and thanks!

Pretty sure I'm due October 14, but going to my confirmation appt tomorrow. 2nd pregnancy and already feeling sick. I'm so dizzy. Maybe my iron levels are low. Who knows, but with my first I didn't get sick feeling until 7 weeks or so. I'm so excited to give my 16 month old a sibling though!

Congrats. I can't believe we are already into the middle of October with due dates. Happy and Healthy 9 months!

Hello ladies, can I join in here too?

I think I'm about 4w 5d and due 10th of October.

Feeling a little stir crazy already! !

Congrats and welcome! I'm feeling stir crazy too. I guess we'd better sit back and relax. It's going to be a while.

AFM - I'm feeling better. Yesterday I was emotional and crying for no good reason. My husband hasn't had a pregnant wife in almost 12 years, so he has no memories of it all. Poor thing. He's distressed.

Does anyone else go back and forth between being very happy about your little one and extremely freaked out.

Please post pictures of your scans so we can ohhh and ahhh about them. Only if you feel comfortable. I'd love to see them.

 

[tallybee]

Glad you're feeling better xx I'm not getting a scan till end of march but you lot will be first to see after me and oh I promise!

I bought a cute baby gro today from charity shop brand new. Am knitting a little sweater too. I'm nothing if not keen lol

 

[nmpjcp2015]

Ginger I'm worried about weight a little too. I've gained 20lb in the last year. We can't do anything about it now though.

I'll definitely be working out: walking on the treadmill, arms, legs, and back exercises, but no abs. I don't wanna be all jiggly in the summer in my bathing suit.

 

[tallybee]

Swimming is defo brilliant for pregnancy exercise x

 

[nmpjcp2015]

Tally, I've bought some things as well, my MIL and sister have too!

I'm team yellow, so I figured I'd go ahead and buy cute things. Also, I think I'll start working on the nursery next month.

 

[allforthegirl]

I am going to knit/crochet something for this LO too. I have a couple designs I want to try, but I am going to wait until I know what I am having, so I will have a better idea of colour combos.

We haven't told anyone yet lol and I want to find out the gender but that's ages away. The stuff I've bought so far is totally suitable for either
