DHBH0930- Can you change my due date on the main page to Nov. 14th, I was originally the 19th, THANK YOU!!

I booked my gender ultrasound scan June 29, can't be here soon enough!!!

 

[Twag]

DHBH0930 - can mine be changed to 31 October 2015 (originally 6 November 2015) I am sure baby will still arrive in November tho

 

[aley28]

Twag, it does seem I'll get a referral from my doctor to go see a physio and get fitted for one. Another option is to tie a woven wrap around my pelvis (really tightly) and see if it helps at all. I already have a wrap, so I don't have to go anywhere or pay anything, so I'm going to try that.

:wave: Hey missmayhem!! Were you in the TTC groups?

 

[Twag]

Aley I would give that a try and if no good then hun don't suffer get the help

Although I am still not sleeping a full night (I wake in the middle of the night and cannot get back to sleep ) at least my carpal tunnel is not causing me pain at night now I have my sexy wrist splints

Hi ladies hope you all had a good weekend!

Question why are some of you concerned with dieting and losing weight? I thought that was not good during pregnancy? I'm making sure to eat healthy and still be active..walking and yoga but by no means doing a diet program? No judgment just curious as to why?

Sorry for those of you suffering with SPD that sounds awful and those of you still suffering MS. I tried to wean myself off of Diclegis by taking one at night instead of two then went to none on saturday night thought I was feeling great all sunday and was relieved that I could stop taking them. Then nausea hit sunday night! I ended up taking one again last night but I'm going to try none tonight again

 

[Twag]

right now I am eating what I can when I can (unfortunately my likes seem to be sweets ) but hey food is food!

I am running out of my meds so I can only take 2 a day at the moment so one 1st thing and one at 5pm so missing my midday one but OMG I feel awful

Mimzy glad you seem to have been able to cut down

 

[catmummyof4]

Mimzy my bmi at booking was 40 so midwife recomended slimming world because its the healthiest way to lose when pregnant.

Afm iv had to sleep lots just lately. I didnt yesterday and got a terrible migraine xx

 

[aley28]

Mimzy, I'm about about 100 pounds overweight, and my doctor agrees that I should keep my weight gain as low as possible, as obesity does carry it's own set of risks during pregnancy. Weight doesn't come off me easily for some reason, so that's another reason for me. I'm not really trying to lose weight though, just stay in a five pound range from starting weight.

That said some studies have shown that obese women who eat healthy diets and intentionally lose some weight while pregnant actually benefit. It helps with the higher risk of high BP and gestational diabetes, and may lead to an easier delivery and lower chance of c-section.

All weight lost during pregnancy that isn't from morning sickness should be done through eating a wholesome diet and not from calorie restrictions. But cutting refined sugars and processed foods and going for daily walks or swims is enough for some pregnant women to lose without really trying.

Being super overweight while pregnant is a lot harder than I expected. I'm 50lbs heavier for this pregnancy than I was in my past 2, and I have no doubt it's playing a significant role in my SPD and back pains and general lack of energy

Done and done!

Welcome new ladies to the group! hope all is going well!


AFM: 4 days till gender scan!!!!! Can't wait! Keeping plenty busy this week so should go by quickly

My weight gain is out of control, just like last time and just what I wanted to avoid this time! I know I can lose it all after, even though I'd rather not have to. But my main concern is my BP going up and needing another csection And not getting my VBAC. I'm was starting to feel better so told myself I'd get active and eat healthy. But then my nausea came back and I'm still just having to eat and eat to feel better and most healthy things just sound so gross I can't stomach them, so it's still lots of carbs so lots of calories....

Really have a feeling it's gonna be another csection

 

[catmummyof4]

Dhbh really hope you dont have to have another section hun xx

 

[Twag]

Oooo another gender scan soon do you have any sway either way DHBH?

Hope you don't have to have another C Section

 

[Amcolecchi]

DHBH0930-Thank you. and I am in the same boat! I can't eat anything healthy at all!! First off, I am barely eating. I have gained 3 pounds this pregnancy. I started this pregnancy 10 pounds over weight so my doctor isn't concerned I have only gained 3 pounds, as I am trying not to gain too much anyways. HOWEVER, I can't eat any cooked veggie, salad or grilled chicken!! I used to LOVE these foods before pregnancy. and with my first I could eat anything and everything! All I want for this pregnancy is carbs and fruit lol. So I try to eat more fruit than anything else but then I worry about the sugar!! lol I try to walk/workout 20-30 min a day to help with gaining weight too. I hope you don't need a csection, maybe try walking everyday? I know it's hard when your busy but maybe it will help with the weight gain!

 

[Mrs_Bump]

Interestingly they seem to of changed the guidelines in the last couple of years, with my first pregnancy I was advised that I should lose weight while pregnant. I didn't but weighed exactly the same as at my booking appt as 1 week post partum, this time that's what they want you to do and I was criticised for losing weight between booking and 16 weeks, only 5 lbs but they weren't happy. To be frank I don't want to go to slimming world so doubt I will, I'm sure there will be lectures from the consultant but as long as I don't gain more than the 25lb upper target during the pregnancy I don't see why I should have to go. I don't have enough time in my days as it is.

 

[Twag]

Its odd as I was only weighed once in my last pregnancy at my booking in appointment and then never again and again this time only at my booking in appointment

Are they meant to weigh me everytime?

 

[Mrs_Bump]

No, they've only weighed me once too and they won't be worried about you because you're in the normal weight range. I weigh myself to keep tabs and so I have a response to their slimming world pushing campaign.

 

[Amcolecchi]

twag- they weigh me everytime but I guess it just depends on where you go! But I personally weigh myself at home too lol

 

[DHBH0930]

Thanks ladies, first off hoping for girl, don't have a feeling either way, though had a couple dreams that it's a boy. Also REALLY hoping I don't have to have another csection.

My doctor weighs me at EVERY visit, which I hate! Hopefully I can slow the weight gain down this trimester and 3rd to make up for how much I've gained so far. My food intake is a bit lower than the last couple months, thankfully since I was eating WAY too much. Still more than I should though. Hopefully I can feel better and do better. I do need to get out and walk each day. Hopefully I get more energy back and the weather cooperates. Should dry up soon, we've had storms everyday for a couple weeks now. But summers are pretty dry.

We just redid our budget and started tracking all our costs again since a lot has changed since we last did so. That should help stop me from indulging all the time in fast food since now my DH will see the charges. Otherwise he doesn't pay attention to the credit card bill and doesn't see how often I've been doing mcdonalds

 

[aley28]

DHBH, I've had McDonald's twice in the last three days!!! Sometimes it just really sounds so tasty.

I also had cake for breakfast, so I can't say my diet is perfect either.

 

[Mimzy3]

cat and aley that makes sense. That is great that both of you are trying to do what is best for you and baby. I know it can't be easy to be concerned about your weight while pregnant on top of everything else

 

[littlesteph]

I've been weighed twice so far, once at booking and again at my 12 week scan. my bmi had dropped then as well so don't know if they'll weigh me again. at the start it was 21.4 and at my 12 week scan it was 19.6 all thanks to awful morning sickness.
so excited for all you ladies who have your gender scans coming up, can't wait for mine, 5 weeks to go.
