Curvy ladies

Hello everyone. Well i'm now 14 weeks & 2 days and i weighed myself and was totally HORRIFIED that i've put on 8 lbs! It might not even be that bad, i'm just worried sick now that i'm gunna put in loaaads of weight, and i have more than enough of that as it is!

Hope everyone is ok today. xx
 
Hey Hearts. At 14+2 Id put 8lb on as well. I was mortified but to be fair, Ive eaten so much crap I was surprised I hadnt put on more. Im 15+2 now and Ive put 1lb on since last week. Its slowly creeping on and its scaring me LOL

It is scary! I haven't eaten well either to be honest. I've started to be a bit better now though. I'm back at work so i don't eat as much during the week. although on thursday, which is also my birthday, im gunna be told if i'm being made redundant or not, and i am not holding out much hope. I've only been with the company short of 2 years, and i'm preparing myself for the worst.

Job centre here i come!
 
I have to say Ive eaten LOADS of fish, veg and fruit but in between Ive had take out, cheese by the gallon and crisps which isnt good. I found I didnt eat as much rubbish at all when I was working. I lost my job as you know 3 weeks back and Ive just been nibbling and snacking all the time :( Im suffering gag reflex at the moment at everything so hopefully will stop me eating as much LOL. OH cooked dinner today and didnt listen to what I said so we ended up with something different and as soon as it got put in front of me, I couldnt eat it so forced myself :( Soup for tea!

I got made redundant from a pottery a few years back and it was last in first out which included me and my Dad even though we were bloody hard workers. They didnt see it like that and kept on the 20 year slackers so they didnt have to pay out redundancy. The job center is awful, I loathe going, they treat you like scum and talk to you like youre 10. I go in with a full on attitude and I know I shouldnt but sometimes I know more about the system than they do. Sat in their cushty little office jobs giving people ridiculous aims to get back into work!

I know im dreading it to be honest. We've managed to save up about £2000 by watching every penny. It's just scary because i know that i won't get employed being pregnant! You're obviously in the same situation as me, nobody will take on pregnant ladies, it's pointless!

I'm just going to have to claim every penny i get, which i will happily do! I'm only 22 but i've worked as soon as i left school, so i will make sure i get every benefit i can if i need to!

Oh the joys! I just keep thinking that if i do lose my job, i can relax a bit during my pregnancy and probably enjoy it a bit more!
 
Ive worked since I was 15 and have only claimed three times in those years for a very short period (Im 34 now) and they werent going to give me anything due to national insurance contributions in the last 2 years but they got it wrong because theyre crap so its sorted now. Im being more picky about what work I look for because Im pregnant but as soon as they find out they wont take me on!
Well done saving. We had just under £3000 last year because I had an accident at work and claimed from them but its down to £600 now :( Petes on a good wage so we will manage ok but its not great circumstances.

Rachel sorry you lost your job and xheartsx really hope your not made redundant. By 18 weeks id put on 10.5lb since ive been eating very healthy this week and have treated myself this weekend (mcdonalds, crisps and a chocolate bar) and ive lost 6lb altogether. I hope that doesnt make me sound bad (for losing weight and being pregnant) but i can afford to lose fat, ive got plenty of it (was nearly 16 stone) and baby will take from me what she needs anyway. After slacking this weekend im going to be super healthy this week too and hopefully lose a couple more.
 
Ive lost weight too actually. Around 8lbs or so. Ive not been dieting just eating healthily and obv not drinking which makes a difference. I have to watch my blood sugar so I suppose that makes me think twice with treats. I've not been an angel but better than I normally am. I also have it to lose tho as even tho I dieted loads last year I'm still 35 bmi. If I can lose 4Lbs more then I'm under 35 and they might hassle me a bit less
 
thats great cranberry! My mw hasnt even mentioned my weight tbh i wish she would have and arranged for a gtt etc as im so worried my weight will cause complications. Im heavier now than at full term with dd!
 
You can check you blood sugar yourself if you want. Asda did a glucose monitoring kit for £4 a while ago. Take the levels before breakfast then an hour after each meal for a few days. Then tell your mw what they are and they should be able to tell you if they're ok. The levels I need to stick to are fasting =3.5-5.9 and after meals under 7.8

Even skinny ppl can have high sugar lvls tho so if the mw isn't concerned then I'd think you could leave it too tbh. High sugar at this point really only means theres a risk of a bigger baby. You're past all the developmental abnormalities afaik
 
I've had the week from hell. My Dad passed away last Sunday - he was diagnosed with Lung Cancer last July and we'd been told it was terminal but even so it was a huge shock to loose him. Feel like I've only got through this week because I had so much to organise with the funeral, etc. Funeral was yesterday and we're burying his ashes tomorrow morning. Things got worse today when we got a call to say that my Nana was really ill and the nursing home thought we should go just in case. She's got dementia and hasn't been well for a long time but I never expected this. Spent the day there at her bedside - home now but can't sleep as I think we'll get a call tonight from nursing home. How can things go so wrong?
 
Oh Lisa, what a horrible week! I'm so sorry for your loss! :hugs:
 
Hello girls,

I've not been on here over the weekend, been so busy! Didn't do anything really exciting, but me and OH got a day off together this weekend - which was lovely so we all went out for a little walk along a canal close by, it was pretty but just as we were getting back towards the car I started to get this real heavy feeling where baby is, it kinda aches. Don't think its anything to worry about, just over did it a bit I think.

Rachel - tropical world sounds fun, but the fruit gums and pomegranite juice sound nicer :winkwink:

Welcome Jess, Hi Sunshine, Hi Rees :hi:

Cranberry - Hope your feeling better now :hugs:

xheartsx - don't be horrified at 8lbs, I've put on 1 stone now (from my booking in weight @ 8 weeks) and I'd already put a bit on before this tbh. Today i'm 14 stone 7lbs!!!!!

Pink sparkle - I'm going to try to take a leaf out of your book this week. Healthy eating all the way!

Lisa - I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, thats awful news. :hugs::hugs:. Wishing you strength and hope for your nana too. My dad has just been diagnosed with cancer in his bowl, we found out about 7 weeks ago, and I haven't mentioned it on here becuase tbh I'm trying not to think/talk about it too much as its just upsetting. The doctors think they've caught it early as its not spread anywhere else and he going in to (hopefully) have keyhole surgery next tuesday 14th, if the keyhole doesn't work then will have to make larger incisions. My mum and dad have been great and so strong, so I'm trying to follow their lead and be positive - that they will be able to get rid of it! I really feel for what you have been through. Take care of yourself

Han Xxx

Hiya

Sorry to hear about your news Lisa, big hugs.

Had my 12w scan today. Had to have an internal due to 'adiposity' lol I didnt mind tho rly. Gave a rly clear pic of babies ass the entire time, would NOT move to where it was supposed to be. Not sure if thats stubborn or chilled.
 
Hey girls.

Lisa, Im so very sorry about your Dad. Ive lost 3 very special people to cancer and its awful and heartbreaking when anyone passes away but I think to see a loved one deteriorate is harder to take :( *hugs*

Cranberry, congrats on the scan, I commented on your facebook, great pic :)


Ive had an up and down day. OH never listens to me and I feel like a glorified cleaner sometimes but he works full time in a stressful job and I dont so I guess, I cant complain! Ive spent thsi afternoon chilling out and watching Animal Planet. Just had a boring but healthy tea and am now going to do an Asda shop!

Have a great evening everyone

I always say that DH doesnt listen to me, but today he said to me 'just listen to me' because I wasnt! So I sometimes think that we are all the same at listening, just that men dont rly care most of the time :p

Im having Feta salad for dinner, love it but the onions always give me indigestion. Will try not to woof a whole onion tonight :haha:
 
Petes great normally but hes crap with things like "can you do the litter tray" "can you put that pile of clean clothes away" "can you wipe the cooker when youve splashed it" etc. He will use pots and just leave them near the sink, I wash them. He always says "ill do it later" then he forgets. His brain is like a sieve. I came in the living room this morning and burst into tears because sometimes hes so pedantic and sarcastic with me but I know its just his personality, he drives me mad! Grrr.

Ive had shredded steak in gravy, 3 fresh veg and mini yorkshire puds. I had feta salad the other day and it was lush. I made far too much :)

Lisa so sorry for your loss and really hope your nana's ok xxx

Han thanks for the signature link (hope it has worked) x

Cranberry - so glad your scan went well, what a lovely pic x

I felt like i was losing the plot yesterday maybe a surge of hormones or something was a complete mess crying over everything and i have had a massive outbreak of spots so thinking hormones! Feel much better today, although im a bit sad that i have to get a horrible double buggy. Saw my friend and shes buying a beautiful new pram for her baby girl. Im so limited by needing a double and also watching the pennies just feel like its taking the fun out of things a bit fed up of everything having to be 'practical'! (Sorry for the rant) x
