Thanks Brandy, hoping to join you soon - tiredness and MS and all

Hmmm - its a tough one about taking DH along isn't it. I know what you mean about having him there if she starts talking about weight. Perhaps he could wait outside so he's there if you need him? Either way, just try and think positive about it - you deserve a positive pregnancy and labour experience as much as the next woman. Stay strong and don't be bullied around - you can always change Drs if you need to

I was thinking exactly the same thing, couldn't have worded it any better

I would take your husband with you as back up love. My DH went with me to as many appointments as he could and if anyone had started having a go at me because of my weight he would have soon shot them down!!!!

But I agree with Lara and Emmy - whatever you decide to do, don't stand for any crap and change if you aren't at all happy xxxxx

Hurrah hurrah, no dry-heaving incident this morning! I was super-super careful brushing my teeth and it worked! SO glad, especially as that really seemed to affect my entire day and we've got my MIL's birthday dinner tonight

Hey love, I know that weight can be a factor in not being able to get pregnant, but just to let you know I was a uk 26/28 weighing 20stone 6lbs when I got pregnant - and I had tried the healthy eating and cutting out alcohol thing but got so fed up I just went back to being myself, even put a stone on and wham, bam thank you mam!!! It was the heaviest I had ever been.

If you look at the bottom of my sig there is a link to the thread I started when I got pregnant - any big momma's out there. There are other ladies bigger than me who are/got pregnant. I love both of these threads as they have given me so much comfort and support - so please don't give up hope

Brandy -- I definitely think you should invite dh to come to your first appointment.

My OB hasn't said a single thing about my weight... which concerned me because I know good and well I've gained too much already. So I brought it up at my 16 week appointment because I wanted confirmation that I could go back to exercising the way I was pre-pregnancy. I didn't care that hubby was sitting right there. It's not like he doesn't know I'm fat.

She didn't seemed concerned at all about my weight or my weight gain, though. She agreed with me that I should start exercising consistently again (duh) & that I should watch what I eat but I shouldn't "try" to lose weight.

I think at worst your doctor would advise you against gaining too much weight (and recommend you gain 15 pounds or so instead of the usual 20-25). It's not like they're just going to chew into you about being overweight at a time when most health care practitioners recommend you DON'T try to lose weight (though, if we're eating well & exercising like we *should*, we probably would slowly lose weight anyway. That comment was more directed at me than anyone else. ).

I agree with Littlespy....most good docs won't demean you or make you feel bad for your weight! There are enough good ones, that if you find one that doesn't treat you with the utmost respect - look for a new one!

 

[butterflydebs]

Thank you ladies for all your replies really looking forward to sharing all your Journeys with you x

 

[Mustang_Love]

Welcome butterflydebs


Any more testing andella?

 

[andella95]

I tested about an hour ago...darkest and pinkest $tree line I've had so far...but still too questionable.

I'm going crazy!

 

[butterflydebs]

Fingers crossed Andi, hope this is it for you x Hi Muatang how are you must be very exciting to be 21 weeks over half way there x

 

[andella95]

Butterflydebs!

So great to have you here!

I posted another pic in the gallery.

I am too sleepy and tired to do anything right now other than go to bed!

 

[EmmyReece]

andella I can totally see the lines on the new tests you've posted up ... they remind me of the lines Brandys was posting up

 

[StarlitHome]

andella, I think you should try a Clearblue digi....

 

[andella95]

I tested again. Definite faint positive. I am so afraid to believe it because I am afraid of the hurt losing another one could bring. But...I am pregnant. In disbelief, because, after 25 months...well, I just never thought it would happen again.

So scared, but choosing to enjoy what time I have with this little one growing inside me. My tests should be darker by now...but I can't control whatever happens.

So...I guess I'm not TTC right now!

 

[BrandysBabies]

Andie, I left you a message on your testing thread but wanted to share my excitement for you here as well!! I am so thrilled for you. And you are right, one day at a time. And while we watch our babies grow, would you be my bump buddy?
