Babies due in JUNE!

[Sunshine12]

So, I am so tired of trying to find clothes to wear every morning that allow me to breathe... Today, I broke out some maternity leggings and I felt so good in them! So I went online I bought two more pairs. During my first pregnancy, I don't think I wore maternity clothes until after week 20, but here I am in week 8 breaking out the maternity clothes. Granted I am not as slim as I was with my first, but I think this time, I am going to throw out vanity early and allow comfort to rule!

Im pretty much wearing my jogging bottoms most of the time (not outside/in public of course but for slobbing in house as they are really comfy on my stomach.) Have also gone up 3 bra sizes already!! I dread to think how big they will be once Im 9 months. My bloating is finally going down though which is good. I went to the nurse this morning and almost choked when she weighed me. Im 65 kilos which is the heaviest I have ever been in my entire life. Im normally about 55/56 kilos so feeling pretty yuck. Just joined a health club yesterday so that I can go swimming during the week when OH is at work so hopefully that will help me lose a bit of weight.

Ellie, thats lovely news! Will be fab if you have someone close to go through it all with. x

Ive been wearing these boring trousers that I bought from the Gap last October when I had to lose a few pounds. They've come in handy, yet again! As for around the house, I'm with you girls... wearing all sorts of exercise clothing... Definitely feels good for the tummy!

I had a big bout of nausea this afternoon while teaching. I hope I never have to vom in front of them. Eww. Can you imagine? Miss, are you pregnant?

And as for big boobs, mine fell out of my tank top while sleeping last night!


I went a little icon crazy here. Too many pauses at work!

Sadie...
Well ladies, I did have some bloating going on, but I've been sipping lemon water like mad and that's helped along with ahem:

Spoiler

doing regular #2's

So, still in the regular clothing, but I'm sure a change is gonna come soon!!

:wave: to our new ladies!!! H&H9!!

Ellie- that's WAY too cool to be able to have a cousin so close in age. Do you guys live near one another? O, what will the grands do???!!

 

[sadie]

I brought a lemon to work and added it to my water! Luckily, so far I have managed to stay pretty 'regular'. The lrmon was should help with bloat, right? Eating like a cow has also helped me add on sound pounds...

 

[StarSign]

Yes, lemons + water should help along with lower sodium/salt intake. The appetite thing- it's so very tough, but I just try to chew slowly. People say "hey, you're eating for two, but errrmmm, really?! That 2nd person is only the size of a pea! So, I try to keep that in mind- but it's not easy (as I finish stuffing a strawberry poptart into my mouth).

 

[sadie]

I want a poptart!!

 

[Ellie Bellie]

I want a poptart!!

I curse you, Sadie, for putting that EVIL thought in my head! :wink wink: Especially the brown sugar cinnamon or smores flavor. Grr.... I'm guessing there's a run to the grocery store in my future!

 

[sadie]

Blame starsign!!! She started it!!!! (i will buy a single pack tomorrow on my way to work! Strawberry, raspberry or cherry is my choice!

Manwhile, I crave a food, prepare it, love it while I eat it then the thought of eating the leftovers or making it again makes me want to gag.

 

[sadie]

My spelling error "manwhile" can be a new catch phrase of some sort.... I like it.

 

[Ferne]

Me too! I find that I crave something and then give in but usually while eating it I find it wasn't as good as I hoped/remembered. Then, later, the thought of eating it again makes me sick.

wtf?

 

[lilmamatoW]

I know exactly how you feel...that's what I go through everyday...crave something, go to some length to get it, eat and then realize that it really wasn't as great as I thought it would be.

Hello Ladies ..

Hope everyone is well...

I have had a slight drama - hence why I haven't posted anything for a little while..

At 5 weeks I started to spot .. was very worried I so contacted my consultant - who re-prescribed me progesterone - which stopped the spotting straight away thank goodness!

Anyway he also suggested a early pregnancy scan to check the viability of the pregnancy!

Well just got back from the hospital - and we have a heartbeat!!

I am so happy - it seems a bit more real now

Greengerbera thats fantastic news. What a cute little scan! Congratulations. x

Green!

Great news! Thanks for posting the pic of your little one.

 

[HStein]

Sorry I've not been posting much! We had our second scan today, measuring 7w 1d, so my due date is now June 25. Babe has a heartbeat @139 bpm, everything looks good! Doc is referring me to Perinatologist already, doesnt want to risk waiting. OH is being less-than-charming these days and I've not been feeling too great so just a lot going on and haven't felt up to posting...but that will change soon as I'm sure my working days are numbered! Hope everyone is well here!

 

[Ferne]
