Although I did go to asda and not buy any. That is impressive for me. I picked up a beautiful soft blanket as well which is beige.

Was doing a next order for the girls are ordered baby some vests as well, also unisex.

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.

Aww we should post pics of our projects the one I started is purple and black stripes

So glad I found this thread! October 8th, woohoo!

Welcome and congratulations!

I started crocheting a blanket with tiny little granny squares! It's about half-way done. I want to crochet a stuffed dragon toy, too!

Thanks everyone. Based on my LMP I'd be due early October, but I'm thinking I ovulated later. I changed my appt to Monday because Hubby is off work and can go with me. I was dreading taking a toddler to my OB by myself lol
Over all, I'm feeling alright today. Pretty nauseous, which is happening sooner with this one.

I am also overweight. I am 5'1, weighed 160 pre pregnancy. The day I delivered my son, I was 190. I lost most of it while breastfeeding, but gained it back. Before I got my BFP, I weighed 182. I'm so bloated though, now I weigh 186. I guess I will try to be as healthy as possible with this baby and then work my butt off after he/she arrives.

I had strange pregnancy dreams with my first. I cut him out of my stomach and he was perfectly fine. That's the one that sticks with me because it was so real. I woke up thinking I had really cut my 12 week old fetus out of me.

I wish I knew how to crochet. One of my family's friends made my son a blanket and he carries it around with him. My aunt started a blanket but never finished it. A stuffed dragon sounds so cute though!

 

[GingerPanda]

I taught myself, it's not hard! There are tons of lessons on YouTube!

 

[Dandi]

That's my plan too Brittbrat. I'm overweight as well, and had hoped to lose some before getting pregnant, but I got a bit depressed after a year of BFNs and didn't lose a bit. Now I'm just going to try to be as healthy as possible during pregnancy and work my butt off afterwards so that I'm healthier before we try for #2.

My craziest dream actually came before I got my BFP and it's part of what made me think I might actually be pregnant. I dreamed that I found a litter of puppies in a shed and I sat there and breastfed everyone of them. OMG! Who dreams such a thing! I thought for sure that I was either pregnant or had been trying too hard for too long and needed to take a break! =)

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Dandi I think that's the best pregnancy dream I've ever heard

I'm big too. In fact I think I'm 186 lbs lol. I'm only 5ft though. After my mc a couple of years ago I lost about 25 lbs but I've gradually gained it all again. I really want to keep weight gain to a minimum but I'm HUNGRY! I didn't think anything of it when I was having my son though. Gained 31lbs during pregnancy and lost 31lbs by 15 days pp so I effectively maintained

I'd love to be able to knit/crochet or do anything crafty - I'm hopeless!

We haven't bought anything at all this time, but when we were having our son my hubby bought our full nursery set when I was 7 weeks

Never rang the gp today.... just didn't see the point. Maybe next week Just seems to early for making appointments. I did look to see when I could potentially book a gender scan for.. if i worked it out right; 26th april!! Can't decide what to do.

Really interested in learning to crochet might check out some utube videos

 

[Natasha2605]

I'm also undecided when to phone and make an appointment. I think our midwives like to see you about eight weeks? I'll maybe leave it until next week to phone and make an appointment.

Talking of weight, I lost 10lbs since getting the implant removed and falling pregnant. I'm sitting at about 182lbs which is overweight for my 5'3 frame. Hoping for Minimal weight gain. Would actually like to lose some but we will see. I'm sure I could if I actually made an actual effort. (And gave up my diet irn bru)

It's quite easy to pick up crochet, I second the youtube tutorial idea

Omg that dream! I can totally imagine dreaming stuff like that!

Don't feel you need to rush to make appts hun, do it when you're ready xx

Defo look up crochet stuff, it's easier to pick up than knitting I think and less time consuming as well There are lovely things to make that are suitable for novices.

Your dream reminds me that I had one before I got my bfp too. I was holding our daughter brand new and I was undressing her to take a picture of her on our bed and as I had I the frame it was the beautiful looking kitten. The kitten though in the frame was always upside down no matter how I held the camera. Then I woke up

Whilst everyone is talking weight; I was about 11 stone(had spent a year dropping it from 13) just before I got pregnant with my last baby; about a week after I gave birth I weighed in at 9 stone! Baby stole my chub lmao.

In seriousness though; i had managed to keep loosing weight whilst I was pregnant but no one (including me )noticed because I was getting "bigger"

I weigh in now at around 120lb or 8 stone 8 ... don't do kg sorry lol.
the machine in the chemist put my bmi at around 22.2 which is fine. What is crazy is that because of my height it ranges normal at anything from 99lb- 130.
i'm 5 ft

Yeah I rang a couple of days after my bfp and they've booked me an 8 week appt for booking in and a 12 week scan I see you're in Edinburgh same as me so it'll be the same for u xx

 

[GingerPanda]

I'm fluctuating between 195-199lbs, and I'm 5'6". I was so excited to be able to lose weight now that I'm on the levothyroxine, but I never imagined I'd get pregnant without Clomid or Femara! So an infertile person managed to have an "oops" baby.


I keep having weird dreams too. I used to have crazy dreams after my miscarriages that I had a baby, but it turned into a cat and ran away. And people would say, "What do you mean your baby ran away? You never had a baby. You'll never have a baby." Those were not good dreams!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I've got my booking in app for next week at 5+4. They offered me one for yesterday but that's crazy early lol
