Curvy ladies

[cranberry987]

have you tried the white maltesars? I think theyre new because Ive only seen them this week. LUSH!

 

[Tizy]

Hmmmm my problem is that I need to look fairly smart at work, I'm and estate and letting agent. I'm currently living in my black stretch below the knee tube skirt from topshop maternity (its so comfy) and then long vest tops and a cardigan, I suspect this is what I'll be wearing for the next few months as well, so really I need tights under it.

I'm wearing some Emma Jane Natural Gloss tights at the mo and they are fairly comfy but the Emma Jane black opaques are horrible, I'm not sure if its because I've put them in the tumble dryer, but they've gone all tight and inflexible, the front panel pulls up but now they're not covering my bum at the back properly, I'm sure my bums not grown that much!

hold ups then i reckon. Or leggins can look smart if you dress them right. I wouldnt wear them by themselves, under a dress etc they look nice tho.

 

[xheartsx]

Leggings look just like tights if you wear them with some knee high boots. Thats what i am wearing as i type! Or i could just look a total mess but everyone is too polite to tell me

Oh and white malteasers are fab!!

Lovely bump pics

Han i dont think you need a full bladder, i had my 20 week scan last week and i was emptying my bladder as they called my name, they had to wait for me lol! Scan pics were fine and clear and they got all the measurements they needed pretty easy other than lo not laying in the best position. Got no clue about tights x

 

[Rees]

Han, do you have to wear tights, or do you just prefer them?

Leggings and a nice dress look smart I think!

Hearts - this winter I was comfy in my pencil skirt, tights and knee high flat boots, unfortunately I wore my boots so much I've wrecked them! Gonna have to get a new pair in the autumn!

Han - LOVELY bump pic

Hi girls. I'm just sending a quickie from my Blackberry. I rarely get ill but I woke up in the night feeling awful and have now got a bad head cold and feel shit! We went to see X Men 1st Class last night and it was excellent and Pete said I definitely have bump and not fat (he's a Dad already so knows a bump when he sees one) he put his hand on it and said bloody hell that's hard so is def a bump lol.
I'm not gong to college tomorrow as I feel so ill so will maybe get online and post a new bump pic xx

 

[Rees]

Hope you feel better soon Rach and yay for a bump

 

[pink sparkle]

Get well soon rachel!

Han great bump pics...im not brave enough to post any too fat! x

 

[xheartsx]

They are good pics! Pink i'm the same, i'm too scared to post them up as well! I will defo just still look fat!

Hope you all have a good day today. I just turned down a roll from the van and had toast and smoothie instead! Now i regret it! x

 

[Cherrybinky]

Morning girls. Thanks Hearts I feel worse today but the headache has gone at least. I slept really badly but thought Id motivate myself so up, maxi dress on, washing in the machine and managed some breakfast and now Im watching CBeebies with Isobel !

Cranberry, I hate white chocolate but I bet my OH will love those new maltesers as hes a chocoholic!

Han, Im in limbo with jeans and am seriously considering leggins or thick tights under my knee length dresses but Ive never worn leggins in my whole entire life and have non clue where to start! Im also thinking I now need some maternity knickers because, as unsightly as they are, my boy shorts are now cutting me in two and making me look silly!

Here are my latest pics, as you can see I can still breathe in quite a lot (not that I should be doing that, but I wanted to prove Im just fat lol) When I sit or lay down theres really not much bump at all, just wobbly belly lol

Morning girlies,

Thanks for your lovely comments - I feel quite large now, but I was surprised when I saw this weeks picture that I'm actually smaller than I was two weeks ago!

Girlies, pink sparkle and xheartsx please don't be afraid to post pics, everyone is doing really well and you should be allowed to celebrate ya bumpys, as big or small as they are! I'm sure they're all lovely.

Rachel, sorry you're feeling rotton, Its awful being ill, poor you, get well soon. I'm sure Petes right and you are getting a bump. Mines gone from being quite hard low down to being firmer at belly button height, plus i've had a few twinges of RLP these last couple of weeks so I'm sure the babys are on their way up!

I thought that maybe, just maybe I felt a kick last night! Its wierd becuase with my daughter I remember the flutters very well and I feel I've skipped through that stage becuase it wasn't a flutter last night but more of a kick. I'm thinking that perhaps I might have an anterior placenta or something?? I know its still early, so who knows. Plus i was much slimmer with my daughter and once I got to the later stages could easily see her kicking from the outside.

Hope everyone else is ok.

Han Xxx

Yeyhhh Rach!!!

Theres defo a bumpy going on there! It looks especially good in the maxi dress! I think cos I wear tight top in my piccy you can see it more but I'd say we look about the same!

Yipeeeeeee & only 17 days left till we find out what we're having!

Han Xxx

 

[xheartsx]

Rach your bump is really good too! I think i will leave it one more week until i'm at 18 weeks and post a pic! I'll just be brave and do it.

Sometimes when you're feeling poorly its better to get up and about

 

[Cherrybinky]

Thanks Girls. I was quite surprised when I took that maxi dress pic this morning! I tried to breathe in but its not working as well now LOL. Trouble is, depending on what I wear, I can just look either odd shaped or actually pregnant. The maxi dress is good as it does let it all out whereas my maternity jeans are to big and dont do me justice plus my pants arent helping LOL

I feel a little better. Coffee, biscuits and rest.

I forgot to mention Han, I got weighed yesterday and Ive shot up from 10lb gain to 14lb gain so a whole stone on now AHHHHHHHHH.

Hearts, post your pic hun, dont be shy, we need to stick together with the bump thing

Hey,

Rachel - my maternity jeans do fall down quite a bit, they're ones from Debenhams. But my topshop (size 16) black maternity jeans, fit me now but are getting quite tight!! They'll be good for after the birth tho, I prefer them to normal jeans, they're really soft skinny fit with a lovely waitband!

As far as leggings go, just black leggings are good cos they look ok under most things, I just buy cheapos from Primark. My mum did buy me a nice pair of leggings from Debenhams last week, they're black, large waistbank, by Julian Macdonald (or someone) but they have military style buttons at the botton of each leg, they're lovely but cost £25, which is nice for a pressie but I' wouldn't have spent that on them.

xheartsx defo post a piccy, we're all the same stage and very supportive here. Pink sparkle you can show us what we've got coming!

Hugs to all Xxx

p.s. Apparently we will put on 1-2lbs each week from now, cos baby is groeing so much! Don't worry i'm 16lbs up now!

 

[Cherrybinky]

Mine are Dorothy Perkins size 18 because Mum got them for me and was thinking about growing into them rather than getting me a size that I actually AM and adjusting the waist band. They have about 7 adjustable button holes and theyre on the last one and still dont fit. I have to keep pulling them up. Theyre SOOOOO comfy though and have lovely bootcut bottoms so are still fashionable. I thought about Ebay and getting the same jeans but a size 16 so they fit properly.

I just found 5 pairs of maternity knickers on Very.com for £8 and theyre over bump ones so not very sexy but look so comfy and will stop my own pants cutting my bump in half lol.

Might have to invest in some leggins as a lot of my maternity tops are so long they will be ok over leggins and wont make my legs look even more wobbly !

Hope you all have a good day

Awwww, Rach that's a lovely bump

My bump pic makes me look mahoosive at 10 weeks I spose that's a bonus of being a big girl and having a 21 month old

I will find my SD card adapter at some point today, have a feeling it's in the toy basket then I'll upload the pic I took after my lovely breakfast in BHS after my scan

One of my mummy friends posted a link on Facebook, it was an article about a woman who got made redundant days after she told her boss she was pregnant. She's won her employment tribunal too! https://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2011/jun/23/pregnant-wait-till-boss-hears think this might interest a few of you!

I'm now sat here reading my rights as a pregnant employee, I told my area manager 6 weeks ago that I was pregnant. Chased up my risk assessment, which came in after I went off on maternity leave with Tegan, at the beginning of June, area supervisor was in the area last week doing interviews in a shop not too far away, yet I've still not seen anyone and I'm beginning to get a bit annoyed! I was told by the area admin that when someone was next down they'd do one, although at first she thought that one had been done for me last time I was pregnant! (That wouldn't count now if it was done back then as it's been 2 years!)

I must calm down now! Lol, my work get up my nose when they do things like this!

Anyhoo, it's a dry day so far, meant to rain, so I expect it'll bucket it down when we leave the house

Have good days ladies! xx
