Curvy ladies

[Tizy]

Hi Rach,

WOW fab pics, I don't think your bump is so high in the last pic, but its difficult to tell, it looks the same as mine is about now........yey so exciting, we are definately changing!!

So nice to see some pics, as its reassured me that maybe my bump isn't so massive, or maybe we're both massive tehehe!!!

Off to play with doppler now as I can feel baby moving and I wanna check if its in the same place. XXX

 

[Cherrybinky]

to be honest, I truly dont think mines baby, Im just kidding myself. Its just fat from eating too much and putting weight on. It would be lower down this early on although some pics Ive looked at on here and online elsewhere are higher up on slimmer ladies.

Ive still got no symptoms apart from gag reflex now and again and Im fed up of looking fat, blobby and wobbly and not fitting into either my jeans or my maternity ones, Im in limbo lol.

I went on doppler yesterday, babys hb was higher up than normal and was like galloping horses!

[Tizy]

Oh No, that means mines probably not baby either!! Its not rock hard, sort of firmer fat, but when I'm poking around, i can feel a firmness around the ooutside edges of my tummy. I've been trying to feel my uterus but theres so much fat its hard to feel, I think I can just about feel it. I've not got a midwife appointment now till after my 20 week scan!

Well i guess it won't be long before we have proper bumps!!! Yipeeeeee

Signing off, night girlies Xxx

 

[Cherrybinky]

Midwife made me lay down and she felt just below my belly button and it was hard, I felt it straight away she said thats the uterus and was very pleased it was so high and hard. The rest above was flab LOL.

Yours looks like baby though, mine doesnt
My next mw appt is 25 weeks now ready for Anti D injection and GTTs
Im catching up on iPlayer. Have a good evening girlies

Im Rhe negative as well. Did they test your DH? Theres a chance mine might be Rhe Neg too as his mum is, then we wouldnt need the jab.

 

[Cherrybinky]

No they havent tested Pete. She just said I have to have them and thats that. My Mum and Dad are same blood type as me too and mw said her and the nurse both were as well, so much for it being rare lol. Mum said if they'd had another baby it could have been blue baby!

[cranberry987]

thats so stupid. why jab a pregnant woman if its possibly not needed. grr. they tell us that we cant even take normal things like lemsip for stinking colds then dont mind jabbing us with all sorts of crap for possibly no reason just because they cba to check. nhs makes no sense sometimes.

 

[Cherrybinky]

I know. She didnt even ask me about OH or my families bloods etc. Im O Rh Neg and have never known my blood type till now. I hate needles as well

 

[cranberry987]

Its not that I mind needles. They often have a hard time getting my blood and have been known to take 15+ tries. But they just seem so hypocritical that were supposed to be as pure as the driven snow but as soon as they want to jab us with epidural and anti d and whatever else its suddenly fine. Grr. Wish I could go private for this part too. Private fs was great. Actually smiled at me!

 

[sunshine623]

Rachel I love your pics! I think the last one is definitely a baby bump! You all gotta stop being so hard on yourselves. The moment one of my pics looks like an actual baby instead of just fat, I'll be sure to post it.

 

[sunshine623]

Oh, and I'm very proud of my dinner choice tonight. I made vegetable soup in the crock pot for dinner! It's really good and good for you! Of course I'll probably end up having cookies for dessert, but I hope the veggie soup will cancel them out. lol

Girls I'm looking for a Curvy Lady to be my bump buddy?
Ideally due around xmas (my lmp dd is 23rd)
Just someone to email/text, so someone from uk would be great

Xgemx

 

[cranberry987]

I just slept through the night! Cannot believe it. Usually pee 4 or 5 times. I have a cold so maybe I'm dehydrated. Don't feel it. Anyway. V exciting news

 

[Rees]

Rach - that's not fat! That's a proper baby bump

I think I'm starting to go from fat to slightly pregnant Had a lovely bump last time by 18 weeks, gonna try and get my pics on this netbook from my dinosaur PC that way I can start comparing the bump pics, however OH has lost his new camera! D'oh!


Gemmylou - Glad you managed to find this place Think this might turn out to be a nice little sanctuary


In other news, I've been sick lol, this is only the second time in this pregnancy, I've realised that if I don't eat when I wake up I'm sick! Was waiting for my breakfast and had to leg it upstairs, eaten my breakfast and feel fine now! Last time around I'd be sick, eat, be sick, sick some more, eat, sick, eat strawberry flavoured sweets and be fine

 

[xheartsx]

Hello ladies! Your bumps are looking fab! Mine is still serious flab. I carry most of my weight round my belly. I don't think i will get a bump until about 30 weeks! lol. As soon as i do i'll post it.

So my morning sickness seems to be coming back! I'm feeling so rough again in the mornings, it's horrible. Tomorrow is the day i find out if i am losing my job! In a sick, twisted, bad way a teeny part of me is hoping i do. We'll be pretty skint, but i'm really struggling to keep motivated just now.

Hope everybody is ok today.

Ps, because im totally stupid, someone needs to help. How do i get a litle week count down thingy ma bob, and the curvy members thing at the bottom? thanks x

Morning girls,

Sunshine - your dinner choice was excellent, I'm a big fan of homemade soup!!

GemmyLou - I'm not due around xmas, but a month earlier so probs not your best choice, but I'm here in the Curvy ladies if you need any support.

Cranberry - Wow thats great, you got a whole nights sleep, I was dehydrated yesterday and drank loads of water, so was up 4 times last night.

Rees - You are right this place is a little sanctury, with lots of nice ladies to talk to. I've had a few issues with some rather unsupportive ladies this morning, but not in this thread! Sorry your feeling sick hunni....blerghhhh I've been lucky with no MS. Strawberry sweets yummy!

Xheartsx - your sick too oh no!!!! Wishing you all the best for tomorrow, theres quite a few of us in here that have had to go through the pain of possibly losing jobs or losing them. Hope you get the response you want. I can help you with you sig if you like.

Me well i'm feeling a bit emotional today, not sure why????

Han Xxx

For the curvy ladies sig, go to page 32 on this thread and click quote on the post I made (where I said the url for the sig is here). Then look at the text box at the bottom of page and copy the url (for the sig). Now go to User CP section and click on signature. Now paste the url into the box and click save.

For another sig, go to the website, like thebump.com and follow the instructions to make a pregnancy ticker. Then copy the BB Code from the box under the ticker you have made, go to User CP again, click signature and paste it into the box and click save.

Let me know if you get stuck. Xxx

 

[xheartsx]

Thank you Tizy I was very emotional yesterday. Burst out crying in front of my boss and she just told me to go home and chill out. I think i'm just totally stressing about tomorrow. It's my birthday tomorrow too, so my OH is taking me for a fun weekend away to Blackpool on friday! So i'm really looking forward to it.

I hope you're not too upset today!

tadaaaaa x

 

[pink sparkle]

I dont know why but whenever i paste a ticker it never shows up i just dont know what im doing wrong?

Han only saw your post in 2nd tri today sorry to hear about your daughter and hope that your both ok xxx

Gemmylou - im due in oct but like said above stick with this group the girls are lovely and have made me feel so welcome since i joined x

i think im coming down with the cold that my daughter, son and hubby have all had...feel pretty rotten going to have a lazy pj day so will probably be logged on and stalking bnb all day! x

Ive been trying to think of girls names and we have been struggling to find any we agree on...i know we have ages but im worried we will never find anything. I want a pretty girly name but not too common, all the nice ones are taken and so popular. The name Lydia has really stuck in my mind not that im going to pick straight away but would like to have a short list ready and decide when she arrives. What do you all think of lydia and if anyone has any suggestions for me would be very grateful.

My healthy eating has gone down hill the last couple of days my need for chocolate has been overwhelming! Gotta get back on track. I was reading about weight gain in pregnancy last night and found that by week 19 (where iam) you should have gained between 7 and 14lb so i really shouldnt have let my weight gain get to me quite so badly although im still aware that i should maintain a healthy diet.
