Curvy ladies

[Cherrybinky]

Thanks Rees, I didnt think it was really a baby bump until Pete expertly told me it SO was. lol.

Ive got that link on my Facebook too about the lady who won a tribunal. I tried for unfair dismissal with my bosses but as they sacked us as a whole team and non of us had been there more than 12 months, we didnt have a leg to stand on, even when youre pregnant, the 12 month rule doesnt count but I still couldnt get them on it Grrr.

Cant wait to see your pic

Hi Rees, funny that, I've just posted in the second tri forums about that lady! You should read some of the comments at the bottom of the article, it just proves that with some peoples attitudes we are still living in the dark ages!!!

Ok tomorrow i will post my 17 week bump. I weighed myself this morning and have gone from about 10 to 11 1/2 but i'm not caring now. Over it!

I honestly cannot wait to find out what i am having. I'm getting really impatient now.

Oh Rach, i would live in leggings if i could. I'm so glad they came into fashion to wear under dresses etc, because now i can wear nice things on top, and still cover up my tree trunk legs!

 

[pink sparkle]

Hey ladies Rachel lovely bump too!

Han i will get round to posting will have to get hubby to take some pics!

Im really struggling to get maternity jeans to fit nicely. Tried on some in Dorothy Perkins the size 18 are loose on the waist but tad too tight in the leg and the same in New Look. Tried Peacocks too and they are the same. Strange thing is my normal size 18 jeans from next still fit me!!!! bloody annoying! We are heading to a next that stocks maternity clothing tomorrow to try and get some. I love leggings but ive got awful fat chunky legs (even big calves/calfs) (omg cannot spell!). So i never have the guts to wear them although when im really huge towards the end i may thing feck it and wear some.

Im going to a wedding next weekend and had planned what i was wearing, tried on the outfit last night and omg the maxi dress is too small around the BUST!!! Ive never had particularly big boobs but if i wore the dress they would literally be falling out! Back to the drawing board now! GRrrr hate having to rush around at the last minute trying to find something to wear x

morning

Ive started to put on weight this week, havent rly done anything too differently but theres stuff I could cut out so might stick to fruit rather than chocolate - is not a food group baby needs even tho I tell myself it does

Asda maternity leggings are good, you can order online and get em delivered to store for free as they rarely have the right size in.

Watching glasto commentary - soooo glad we're not there, its peeing down!

 

[Cherrybinky]

Hi girls.

Cranberry, Ive put 4lb in a week and I KNOW its all down to crisps and choc. I eat fruit every single day and fresh veg too and often a salad or something healthy but the other things creep in and I cant help myself

Girls, dont judge me but today Im having 'one of those days'. Im sick of hearing about babies, its constantly on my mind, will I cope, have I bought enough things, is there a heartbeat, how fat have I got, how will it feel, etc etc etc. Its like 24/7 baby and Im fed up with it in a weird way. Obviously we tried for a baby because we wanted one and baby will be amazing and loved etc when its born but I hate being pregnant at the moment and everything that comes with it. I know its selfish but I cant help it.

I saw my legs in the mirror this morning and realised how fat theyve got and how gross I look. A maternity top I bought came in the post and although its beautiful, its floaty and un flattering and certainly not funky or alternative which Im used to. I dont feel like me anymore. My hairs off, my make wont go right (when I do put some on) and I feel like a total hermit. Ive sobbed on and off all morning inbetween cleaning up and folding laundry.

Then, a letter came from my bank about my loan asking for my monthly income and expenditure now Ive lost my job and I lost the plot. Ive never in my life been so bored and felt so isolated, a waste of time and off balance. I hope to gods its just pure hormones.

I hope youre all ok and enjoy your weekend.

I'm sure we wouldn't judge you for that! I've been super hormonal this week so its probably a bit of that with you.

I know it's money and baby talk so you might not feel like it but how about joining the nct so you can go to the mums n bumps sessions? Might help you be a bit less isolated. Or ask your mw about other groups you could go to there might be free ones somewhere

I've been going to pregnancy yoga which is rly nice and good to meet other preggos in the area, your local council might do some classes and if you're out of work they might give you a free pass - they do here at least

Rant away tho. No need to apologise!

 

[Cherrybinky]

Thanks Helen

I dont think being online is helping but Im so bored its either telly or internet. Ive done the house from top to bottom now all the washing is done and its lunchtime but Im not even hungry (except for a crisp sandwich lol)

Whats NCT ?

[Mamof1]

Hi ladies,Im still stressing that they won't be able to see my baby on Monday at my scan because of my fat .

Heres my 10+3 bump (extra fat)

https://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab169/SHEARER10/630fcb70.jpg

The top Im wearing was a mothercare bargain reduced from £18 to £8...it says waiting for a star , and Im having to wear a bump band as my bloody jeans wont do up now

 

[cranberry987]

Nct is national childbirth trust. They do amazing nearly new sales. You'd love em. Have a google. Definitely worth joining as then you get in before non members. If you're there late it's like a swarm of locusts have been and there's justa few baby carriers and socks left hehe

They also do coffee morning etc and ante natal classes are supposed to be rly good. Think its £35 to join. The sales are usually Sunday's and in my area at least there's none over the summer hols so maybe have a look now in case you miss the last one or something. They're back in September tho.

 

[Cherrybinky]

I just joined the Leeds website for a start and posted for a net Mum meet up

Mamof1 thats a lovely bump you have there for 10 weeks Im sure you will see your baby no problem, I had an 8 week private scan and Im a size 16 with lots of wobbly tummy fat and I saw my bean no problem what so ever, just be sure to drink plenty of water to keep your bladder of of the way

[Cherrybinky]

Well, we were supposed to be going to a surprise party for a friend tonight but I opted out ages back and now I feel bad for OH going on his own so Im plucking up the courage to actually go. I hate not being able to drink alcohol and throw shapes on the dancefloor and I feel so gross in whatever I wear but here goes.....off to do the make up !

 

[xheartsx]

You'll have a great time! I felt like that yesterday, i had to make myself go to a wedding i just didn't want to go to, but we ended up having a great time! I was home by 11, coz i was knackered, but it was fine

How's everyone tonight? I went and got the nursery furniture today from ikea, and a few more bits and bobs. I'm getting quite organised now!!

Oh, and here it is. My bump at 17+1. Excuse the jammies, but it's half 7, so defo jammies time haha xxx

 

[cranberry987]

Urgh! Husband is being a real baby. I've got a sort back and not comfy in our sofa so watching tv in bed and hes complaining about him not being comfy. So selfish.

I've got him sitting in my nursing chair now and he's complaining that he feels like he's looking up. Well yes! He wanted the tv almost in the ceiling, that's gonna bloody happen

Grr!

Anyone wanna swap?

 

[Welsh_mum2be]

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has managed to fins beans HB on an angelsounds doppler? How far alog where you? I am 20 - 22 and 9 weeks and yet to find it! Any tips for finding it soon? Thanks x

 

[cranberry987]

I couldn't find anything apart from my guts at 11w on an angelsounds. Bought a hi bebe and got it easily. You can't angle the angelsounds so it's a bit useless in early pregnancy.

 

[Rees]

Rach, I'd say from the way you've been feeling you're having a girl! I hate that stage of pregnancy!


Mamof1 - they'll be able to see your baby I had my scan at 10+4 on Wednesday and the baby was there and so clear

Hearts - super cute bump

I never got round to finding my SD card adapter :doh: MUST find it today at some point.

Had a crap day yesterday and didn't feel like eating much, felt sick and sleepy all day long, it might have something to do with the huge arguement we got into on Friday night (OH slept on the sofa, told him to pack his bags, struggled like hell to get my engagement ring off my finger and had slung it out into the hallway - it now sits in Tegan's room, it's not going back on my finger for a while yet, doubt it'll fit back on coz I'm so warm at the moment my fingers have swollen again )

I love my hormones......

Hope you all have a good day, we've got roast at my mum's a grand prix to watch and then more stalls on the prom for Quay Day xxx

 

[Cherrybinky]

Morning Ladies

Hearts, thats a lovely bump, its like mine

Cranberry you have a nursing chair, you lucky sod lol.

WelshMum, Ive had my AngelSounds doppler since I was 12 weeks and its been a godsend. Found my own femoral heartbeat first time around but after that, every time Ive used it Ive found babys. Very fast and like galloping horses, it started very very low in my pubic area but now its right near my belly button although its an active bubba! I can actually hear it moving with the doppler now too! Its amazing!

Rees, I want a boy so thats disappointed me a little LOL. Seriously, Im happy as long as baby is healthy but poor Xander has 3 sisters and 8 women in his life so Pete and I would love a little boy Sorry you had a crap day yesterday, sounds like me

I went out last night as you all know. I did my full on usual 50s make up and rockabilly hair and I wore a fabulous maternity top and black snake print trousers and actually felt great! I had 2 non alcoholic lagers and a glass of red wine and then when we left Pete went and got me Dixie chicken, omg it was lush at mid night lol.

Its waaaay too hot outside for me today so Im sat here chilling and OH is in garden burning in the sun!

Have a great day girlies, HUGS

Hi everyone,

My weekend has been lovely so far, yesterday me and OH had a nice lie in and excuse tmi but also had a little roll around (if ya know what I mean). We haven't been doing it as much as usual (about once a week-10 days) but wow - super nice

Anyway....Mark got a voucher for this lovely cafe in town for his b'day so we went there for lunch, I had the most amazing dophinaise potatoes...yum yum. Then we came home and chilled, watched Glasto on TV, I had one glass of red wine and then we had cheese and biscuits. I've discovered that as long as the cheese is pasturised you can have brie and blue cheese - great stuff! Wish it hadn't taken me until now to find out!

He's back at work today and Holly is at her dads so I'm having a lazy day, still got my PJ's on and eating minstrals whilst surfing the net! Oh I just watched another episode of OBEM USA - god I really can't get my head around how their system is so different to ours (in terms of having an epidural is standard)!!

Cranberry - thanks for the heads up about NCT, sounds worthwhile. I'd love to find a pregnancy yoga class but they're aren't many of those sorts of things round here, its quite rural you see - shame.

Rachel - So glad you recovered from ya crappy mood, those bloody hormones are horrid aren't they, sorry I wasn't on yesterday to cheer you up. Glad you had a nice time at the party.

Mamof1 - Super great bumpy, thats really coming along, and don't worry about not seeing bubs on the scan - you will. Like Rachel said drink plenty of water (but don't drink it too early or you won't be able to hold it in (maybe 40 mins before).

xheartsx - Aww you have a really nice bump, not at all flabby like you said, we're always so much harder on ourselves tho aren't we! Jammies time in my house is pretty much from 5.30pm till bed time and like today probably all day!

WelshMum - I have the Sonoline B doppler, becuase it has an LCD screen and a separate angler I found it pretty easy to find bubs, but not until 11+4 (so you might be a bit early yet) Rachel has had a really good experience with the Angelsounds one tho.

Rees - So sorry you're having a crappy time at home, its horrible when we fall out with our OH's. Really hope you sort it all soon and you're right hormones will be partly to blame. Cheer up and remember we're here if ya need to talk/rant whatever.

Take Care everyone, Han Xxx

 

[Cherrybinky]

Afternoon Han,

Glad youve had a nice weekend so far. Im gagging for a 'roll around' lol and I know Pete is but Im making him wait to see what the results are from this 'infection' Im supposed to have although it seems imo to have gone!

I had wine last night too and felt guilty for drinking it, its the second large glass Ive had this week :s

Just had wholetail scampi and gnocchi in a homemade sauce OMG was lush!

Im going to catch up on Scott and Bailey then Game of Thrones now
