Cordelia that is awful! It's bloat! Just ignore the comments!

 

[Kerjack]

Wow CordeliaJ! That is just plain rude. Everyone knows, well should, at this point that its just bloat! I'm sorry she's being difficult

 

[Sooz]

Oh man. I've got my mother staying with me for the week (which is stressful in itself). Anyway, I'm quite bloated already and do have a little bump, and the first thing she says is "you shouldn't be showing that early, you're obviously eating too much". Typical, she's so weight obsessed. It's just really irritating because I'm probably eating less than normal only a bit more often & I know it's bloating & there's nothing I can do. Anyone else have an issue like this? Ugh, so annoying and just made me feel really bad.

Yep my MIL asked my DH if I was pregnant the other day because I apparently have a bit of a tum on me, in her words. I'm still fuming. It is never OK to comment on a non pregnant ladies weight, so why on earth does that etiquette go out the window in pregnancy?!

A bit of bloat is totally normal and it will eventually subside. x

Welcome newbies!! August is going to be a busy month for midwives!

Some people are just mean Cordelia, don't take that rubbish to heart. I have also put on a few pounds and eating way more than usual and if anyone dares comment they will get their head bitten off (hormones!)

I am also in the minimal symptoms group except for insomnia and constant eating.

So had midwife appt today, she was 40mins late and rushed off her feet. I am now booked in for scan at 7and half weeks pregnant. Pleased to get scan but didn't lose my lst two until after 8 and half weeks pregnant so feel its too early?
Also my blood pressure was 150/90 and it's usually 90/60!! wtf?! should I be worried?!

I know what you mean about too many good things coming at once and worrying you are due something bad but sure you deserve all the good stuff coming your way

I'm already pretty chunky so no one will notice.

I love your new pic! But I don't recognize you anymore.

 

[twinkletots]

Think everyone will be a little chunkier by the end of Christmas!! good time to be preggars as just blame it on the turkey and chocs.

FOrgot to say congrats Crystal on your happy scan pic!

 

[CordeliaJ]

Thanks girls
I feel a bit better now!

 

[Barhanita]

Exactly! I hope it'a just a lucky time for me, after all the hard things I had to go through earlier this year.

 

[borr.dg.baby]

Barhanita it's Ok to feel that way but it's best to accept the blessing that are coming to you!

[Crystal5483]

I look 6 months already - cuz I'm bigger to begin with lol

 

[Crystal5483]

Grrr not sure why it's on it's side!

 

[twinkletots]

It looks cute crystal!

Talking about how difficult it is to keep early pregnancy under wraps, my neighbour was in docs waiting room as I get called in to see the midwife ( why would anyone be seeing the midwife if they were not preggo) then I have to walk out health centre with huge pregnancy folder and run in to woman that works at my daughters nursery.

Maybe I will just get a t-shirt saying I'm not fat it's just early pregnancy bloat and be done with the speculation

 

[charlie00134]

I'm hoping I don't bump into anyone at the midwife but I can get away with scans etc cos I already have those.

 

[Girly922]

I'm just hoping that my midwife appt won't be on a Monday or Thursday. Our admin girl at work also works at the dr's those days every week so she'll definitely see me. Really not ready for I to go round the office just yet!! Lol.

 

[charlie00134]

it would be illegal for her to tell surely. patient confidentiality surely applies.

 

[borr.dg.baby]

I don't have midwifes where I live, my ob-gyn does it all, so it will be just like going in for a consultation... or check up

 

[CordeliaJ]

Ok so here's my early bloat!! (Excuse my dirty mirror)

 

[Girly922]

I'm not sure, as she only works in the same building but not actually for the dr's surgery. For the district nurses, different company.

So would it actually be breaking confidentiality? I get on with her really well, but it's just too early for people to know.
