My 6wk bloat!

my tummy looks just like that! I thought it was just me!

Aw i think its due to having been preggers b4 the tummy just wants to pop right out lol
X

yea it has to be because with my first I was a size 3. Belly didn't show until 6 months. Before that I just looked like I was just getting thick. Then after the baby I got skinnier than before. I was a size 2. I stayed that way for about a year. Then I went up to a size 5. This past year I gained more weight than usual and now im a size 7/8. This is the biggest ive ever been... I know since my previous birth that my belly will be way bigger this time...

Im not totally clued up on ur sizes are they American sizes? I know ur size 2 is our size 6, im a UK size 8/10 depending on the shop brand as shops differ slightly here. B4 kids i was a size 8 but i sway more towards a size 10 since having my youngest. I don't mind my bloaty bump right now but if i wasn't preggers id be running alot more & trying to shift it lol

I've received my pregnancy update emails but they're all a week ahead? Maybe i should pretend im a week early on there websites so i get the correct week update idk lol

its the baby milk powder brand, if u Google cow & gate its show up, if u sign up with them u get what i put in the pic, are u in UK? I can't keep up with u all x

 

[JenzyKY]

No. I'm in the US. Guess that's why I hadn't heard of it. Wish our brands did something cool!

I think some of the website do the week you're in rather than the week you finished. EG 5 - 6 weeks is your 6th week of pregnancy

It's interesting you say that, because I keep wondering, for example when I'm reading what to expect, when it says week 6 and how big the baby is etc. is that the week I'm in or the week after I turn 6 weeks? I always assumed that week 6 is the week after you get to the 5 week mark..if that makes any sense.

The week thing has been confusing me too. Think I should browse some websites for freebies.
S T I L L not had MS, funny how we all want a wee shot, nthg too bad

 

[charlie00134]

I think it's what's happening that week on some sites and what has happened the previous week on others. I suppose the ones that seem a week ahead make sense since you're due at 40 weeks not 41

 

[bloominbroody]

I've always known it as that's the week ur in according to my mw's both pregnancies.
Jenzy there is probably a us version of our freebies hun maybe search pregnancy freezes US or something like that?

Onebumpplease im not hoping for ms anytime soon lol some never have it & others have it entire pregnancy, im hoping If i get ms its just a brief thing. I just wanna have a bump but b comfortable x

 

[charlie00134]

I just want a H&H baby at the end. I'll take the hippo feet if I have to lol

 

[JenzyKY]

I have quite the gag reflex now. I always have, but this is 100 times worse. Smells, brushing my teeth, coughing, etc makes me feel like I am going to throw up.

 

[bloominbroody]

I gag when brushing & my gums bleed too.

Lol Charlie my feet went up a whole size nr end of my first pregnancy but now im a size smaller than my normal size since youngest. Feet do funny things x

 

[charlie00134]

I'm glad I have shoes which are too big already

Hello ladies, today I've not had any nausea, but...my goodness I've felt so very tired I put my 2 LO's to bed half an hour ago, I'm now trying to keep my eyes open x

 

[mommy247]

I'm so emotional now and I feel like df dsnt care as much as he should... All I ask for is help but nvr get it. I just cleaned our whole house in pain, nauseous and all. All I want is help. When I'm not home and at work and he's here early I wish he would just take some of the work I have to do off my shoulders. Idc who made the mess just some help. I have to cook and clean and work...

 

[Mavis]

mummy247 - sending you hugs I know just how you feel, my hubby can be like that, sometimes all I ask is that he puts the rubbish out, only to find it still there the next morning 'Grrrrrrrrr' then if he ever does anything i.e load the dishwasher, he wants praise & a medal lol

 

[charlie00134]

My dh isn't so good at doing it without nudging first but he will help when I ask. Hope he starts doing his part soon

 

[mommy247]

Thanks ladies! I literally had to beg him to help. Then he got mad... Told him when I get bigger this isn't going to happen and I'll need him even more so he will have to start soon.

I'm over it... I just want some pizza now lol

 

[bloominbroody]
