AF through preg??

[Jai]

hey, i'm just wondering if anyone, like me, had/has their af through their pregnancy?

I didn't find out i was pregnant until i was 21 weeks gestation, didn't show, apart from getting a bit.. well.. a bit fat really.. had a bit of a muffin-top going on and all that jazz.. and that would have been a surefire warning sign, if not for The Monthlies still paying their visits...

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks,

Jai. x

hehe. it's weird, innit? Was a huge shock to the system for me, i honestly had no clue. Eeesh. all of that 'well, yeah, i'va had sex, but... pregnancy?! God no! it wouldn't happen to me!' etc etc. typical, eh?!

i've just been looking back at a few photos my mom took of my bump when i was about..oh, i think i was 36 weeks, and i swear, i looked like i'd eaten someone! oh the joys.

Has you skin started to go tight around the bump?
I remember that feeling all too well. Pah. (Tip: Lotions, lotions, and more lotions!!!)

Sooo worth it though. I know, i know, everyone says it, but that's cause it's true!


Hope you are well.
All my best,

ahh.. i got that too off sooo may people... it is true, you most definately will just know... but... have you been getting braxton hicks contractions? (i cant spell, sorry) ..well, for me, and for most of the people i've spoken to about the early stages of labour, there was a pressure in the lower part of my back and my stomach... not a pain, but a pressure, like...crunching... but.. you'll have sorted pain relief out, yeah? to get through the first stages, i found that walking around, and sitting down for a couple of minutes, and then up wandering again really helped.

There are loads of horror stories out there about all this horrific pain and whathaveyou... but, please, please, please, don't make the mistake i made by dwelling on other people's experiences and accounts of the pain etc... It only made me worry much more...

If you have any questions, i'm more than happy to answer themas best i can sweetie.. this is a big event you're faced with, hun, and it's gunna be sh*t scary at times, but we were born for this, and you will cope brilliantly, (really, us women always surprise ourselves with how well we cope!!) im sure of it!!

The most important piece of advice i think i can give is to do all that you can to relax.

And this is turning into a bit of an essay now, so i'll just post. lol

Love and light.
Jai
