3rd & 2nd Tri MIDSUMMER DREAMERS - Mid July-Mid August Pregnancies! Come join! :D

[natalie85]

What's average? Lol my mw said my job was enough exercise for me now I don't have that hmmmm
Oh I said about my spots and she refered to it as pregnancy rash!?!?

We haven't even got a move date yet Natalie! It's probably not until after Christmas, but we think it's literally going to be just down the road! Cause they're thinking of opening a second Toby up around in Watford and OH is next in line for his own place

ha ha yep I weighed myself (stupidly) about 3 weeks ago and I'd put on 2 stone But that was after I'd eaten a massive dinner.... now he's so big I can't even finish my plate of food (which makes OH happy!!) so here's to a no weight gain in the 3rd tri

Good luck tomorrow with your GTT Krystal!! I really hope you don't have GD!!

 

[DaretoDream]

krystal- good luck with your gtt! You will be fine I know it!

I've gained only 18 lbs since the beginning- but it appears much larger than that. They said i'm measuring perfectly too. certainly feel larger than that though! Lots of movement lately!! How about you ladies?

Hello Ladies

Natalie I am so happy to hear you are off of work now, and Krystal good luck on your GTT!

I am on the we have to move so don't have a nursery or anything for baby yet boat too! I told my husband I would like to set up our spare bedroom for the baby after my shower next month, so at least we can stay organized for when we do move. We may have to move 2 weeks after the baby is born or 6 months. I don't like not knowing so for sanity's sake I think I need to have a crib and a dresser to put the babies things away in, I don't think that is asking for too much.

Hope you all are having a good day, I am enjoying my day off lazily ..................

I was weighed at my appointment yesterday. I've gained 25 pounds. I don't know what is average, but the nurse said I was doing very well with my weight so I guess I'm good, who knows!

The NHS website says it's normal/average to gain 2 stone (28lbs) during pregnancy, & that the majority of this is gained after 20 weeks.

Well, I weighed myself at 22 weeks & had already gained over a stone & a half, so I reckon I'm on track to put on about 3 stone!

Pregnancy rash?? I would love to pass mine off as that, but it's 100% hormonal acne! I've suffered since my teens & was on the pill for 14 years to remedy it! My body is clearly having a field day now with all the pregnancy hormones whooshing about!

Hi ladies

Im really jealous of all the nursery pics flying round at the moment. I havent started ours. I need OH to help me start cleaing the spare room like moving the desk else where etc but when im at work he is off and when hes in im off at the moment. We have friday off so im going to try and start it then.

I had my 26 week midwife appointment this morning. Im measuring correctly, got to hear baby's heart beat again and MW said all was going perfectly at the moment with baby its just me that's falling apart.

I also had physio last week for my SPD and she has offered me acupuncture for my next appointment so im going to accept. Any thing for a little bit of help.

I was weighed this morning, ive put on 7KG (15lb), MW said this was perfectly normal but I was a little concerned, I put on 3 stone with my last and even after id given birth i kept most of that. so really trying not to do that again

Xx

 

[natalie85]

Ok I've put on the recommended amount with under9 weeks to go hmmmm and no work I'm gonna have to stay active!!
Charlie thats awesome!! That will be popular if they move it nearer town I recon!! I know what u mean about not being able to finish a plate of food these days sometimes I can but mostly struggle!!

 

[sequeena]

Hi girls I'm not sure if I mentioned it here but I passed my GTT after fasting my blood sugars was 5.4 and after the 120 minute test they were 3.9 I was allowed to go up to 11.1 so was well under!

I'm going to have to see a physiotherapist soon though as I'm now getting a lot of pain from my pelvis. I know the amount of walking I do doesn't help it but as I don't drive then I don't have much choice. There's not much public transport (am on a mountain) and the transport there is is extremely expensive. Bah.

 

[Stef]

Great news Sequeena, I passed mine too.

I have just checked my maternity notes and i could have sworn she said i was measuring exactly right but shes put in my notes in measuring 27 weeks. Never mind. LO is ok and thats all that matters, I have another scan in 6 weeks.

xx

 

[sequeena]

Oooh you're measuring ahead! The most I measured ahead yesterday was 28+6 and the least was 28+1. He has always been bang on his dates LOL

 

[Stef]

I hope that dosent mean shes gona be huge if i decide to go vbac in the end. lol

xx

 

[Love_Krystal]

Thanks everyone I am hoping it goes well too & I don't have it! Not looking forward to no food for that long & drinking twice as much stuff (although I enjoyed the flavor it made me feel aweful!) I'm going to have one more scoop of ice cream and a Popsicle tonight just in case they ban me from sweets lol

Nurseries are so exciting!!! DH painted the closet last night so it's almost done & then I'm going to start working on the room hopefully at least pictures and stuff!

I was thinking last night that I hope we all stay friends on bnb & keep this up after our LO's get here, I really enjoy the company & advice & knowing I'm not alone! plus I can't wait to see what all of our "bean's" (turned watermelon!) look like

 

[natalie85]

Awwww krystal I hope so too I'm sure we will!!!

I'm a but confused what's VBAC??

Decided to get a nice early night last night, I had cramp twice in each calf muscle the dh had it twice in one leg grrr

 

[CharlieKeys]

a vbac is a vaginal birth after cesarean

and yay for all the ladies who passed their GTT! I've still not heard back if I have any sugar in my blood yet to get put forward for the GTT but assuming no news is good news...

 

[natalie85]

Ahhh I see!!! Thank u!!
Why don't u phone up docs and ask for your blood test results? When do u next see mw?

 

[Stef]

Krystal, i would like that too (continuing thread when LO's are here)

Wish I had joined the thread sooner. But hopefully I'll get to know you all in time

Xx

 

[TaNasha]

Hi ladies!

Hope you are all ok?

Does everyone need to have the GTT test? I have not heard anything about it?

 

[BattyNora]

Don't worry TaNasha - I would never have heard of it had it not been for BnB. I think in the US everyone has the smaller one, whereas in the UK only those with the risk-factors get sent for it.

Got a scan today..one of my check-ups through my consultant care. Am very excited but quite nervous. Worried she's going to be small, or as they only got half the measurements at my 20 weeks and was never actually given an okay on her, that they'll find something today.

 

[natalie85]

Awww batty try not to worry easier said than done I know!!! Let us know how u get on!!!!
