Curvy ladies

[Rees]

Living near the beach and pretty open spaces does have it's advantages I like Hayle, the towans are gorgeous! I tend not to leave Penzance these days apart from the rare shopping trip to Truro Last time I went to Newquay was with a bunch of young people to go swimming and to the zoo, never actually been in Newquay itself, unless I was too young to remember

Helen, you wear me out just thinking about all the things you do!

Hello everyone,

Wow so much has happened again, only been away from my lappy for 2 days!

TTC - Hello :wave: Welcome to the group. It doesn't matter that some of us are further along, we'll no doubt still be here when LO's are born! Congrats on your pregnancy!

Bernie - Thanks for the nice messgae about the scan. You're right it is great when you get a good sonographer. Congrats on your team

Helen (Cranberry) - Congrats on 'the LAST chicken'!!!

Amy (Sunshine) - Helloooo, OMG a BOY!!! You must have been so surprised!!! So happy for you and your OH. Well done with your weight as well 6lbs is nothing!

Jade (xheartsx) - Maternity jeans are def the way forward, you've done well not to be in them already! I've been in mine about 6 weeks!

Leigh (Rees) -love ya boy name, very unusual.

Hi Jayne (Pink Sparkle) - I'm sure your bubs will be a girl, its not often that they get it wrong at 20 weeks! Thats part of the reason why I waited! Plus I couldn't afford a gender scan at 16 weeks. I've not had any heartburn as yet, but I remember getting it with Holly, not nice is it!

Spellfairy - I havn't done any intelligenders, they sound fun but a little on the pricey side! My predictions were as follows:

Chinese Gender Prediction:
Mayen Gender Prediuction:
Heartrate:
Old Wives:
Gender Ring Test on Belly:
Gender Ring test on Wrist:
Skull theory:
Mothers Intuition:

And I used this site for predictions: https://www.nzs.com/new-zealand-articles/family/baby-gender-predictions.html

Hello Mrs B as well. Sozza if I've missed anyone else.

Well, Only 22hrs to go until we find out what we're having (hopefully) My scan is at 9.50am and I'm gonna have a sugery treat before I go as I really want bubs to be moving this time and i might drink a bit before I go in too, just so it might help with the pictures. I'm trying not to think about anything being wrong and really wanna enjoy the scan, If everything goes ok it'll be my last one!

Had a nice day yest with OH and today I'm on my own, so lazing around in my jimjams etc! Next 10 weeks will be trying to get everything ready for LO, don't want to leave it all until last minute becuase I might be tired.

Eeeeeeeeek so excited!

Oh forgot to say SW is going very well, weigh in on Tuesday but so far I've lost 4lbs this week!!! Back to 14stone 12lbs.

If anyone wants to take a FINAL GENDER GUESS that'd be fun, my scan pic is below.

That Mayan test makes no sense! You're always gonna have a girls or boys if you follow it. All the old wives tales for me say boy. So we'll see in two weeks!

 

[pink sparkle]

Just realised im 24 weeks today, Happy V Day to Me! YAY xxx

 

[Tizy]

Helen, not sure wht you mean about the Mayan test, of course your gonna have either a girl or boy????

Jayne, Happy V day to you! Great milestone reached. Congrats I'm 50% today, half way there!

Han Xxx

 

[cranberry987]

I mean like this year I'm 32 and year is odd so that's boy as either of them has to be odd. Then next year I'm 33 but year is even. Still boy as either if them is odd. Or did I read it wrong

And happy v day! Just got anothe baby club nappy pack from asda for free. Must be joined about 8 times now!

 

[Tizy]

Hmmm this has puzzled me now Oh no....got it! Its the age you are at conception, not the age for the whole year. Would that make a difference? X

 

[cranberry987]

You're still gonna always have both even or one odd. I'm sure there must be more to it.

 

[Cherrybinky]

Evening girls,

Ive hated being away from BnB!

Bernie, Im glad your scan went well, its reassuring to know you will get 2 more scans to keep you informed. Im sure it will be just fine

TTC, welcome over I remember 5 weeks very well and if you need to ask anything at all please do as we all still feel like were 5 weeks sometimes as there are still a lot of how, why whens etc. lol. I didnt have a b belly, it was just a totally fat splodge and looked horrid. I started to show around 16 weeks but Im still convinced my bump is just fat! Cant really advise you on symptom cures are I never had any although now Ive got to 20 weeks I have serious heartburn so maybe you will be advising me

After reading catch up, I would really now like to eat a cooked chicken with gravy all over it!

Amy, I cant believe they said it was a girl and its a boy Still, boy things can be cute too and as long as its healthy and all that YAY for a boy x

MrsB, Im glad babys hb was good, I have a home doppler and its fantastic to listen to it galloping away. Reassurance

Han, Ive missed being in pjs all weekend lol. I think from your pic a girl but we shall see tomorrow.

I didnt really get the nub theory but I found a good site on it and then scrutinised my scan pic and I think its a boy but then went into panic as all this time I wanted a boy and now I think Id like a girl LOL. 15 hours to go till I find out!

Weve had a VERY busy weekend. Friday we arrived, met my friends and parents for lunch, just missed a storm, had an amazing mexican dinner courtesy of Mum and Dad then a bad bad nights sleep in the tent. I kept getting up to wee and couldnt get comfy so I ended up on the sofa.

Saturday we went to the farm, kids loved it and we spent a good few hours there, then we walked 3 miles back into town and took the kids for lunch then on the beach. We got back in time for starting up a BBQ and the blazing sun took over. Was lovely. All went to bed quite late and Pete and I ditched the tent and slept inside on the blow up bed lol.

Got home about 3pm today, bad heartburn and so exhausted I slept for 2 hours. Kids were playing up so theyve been bathed and gone back over to their Mums as planned but now its peaceful again! We havent eaten yet and I need a hot soak in the bath immediately.

Scan is 9.30am tomorrow and I still have mixed feelings about it all. Law and Order UK tonight, YAY!

Hope everyone is well.

Hello everyone. How you all doing? Han & Rachel, i'm so excited that you have your scans tomorrow! Please come on bnb as soon as you can and tell us the news! Glad you've all had a good weekend. Sounds like you had a busy one Rachel! I don't think i could sleep in a tent now!

I've had a good weekend too. Actually this morning! First time in about 7 weeks, it was good! I made a lovely dinner, and feel sick from all the chocolate i've eaten, but i've been pretty good over the last few weeks so i don't care..i'm being a rebel!

Just chilling out watching more T. Watched unstoppable earlier, good film!

Xx

 

[cranberry987]

ooh yes, good luck at the scans tmw

 

[Gemmylou86]

Gl ladies and we want scan pics and gender updates asap... Your up first rach!

What times yours Tizy? Xx

 

[Rees]

Ooooooh, didn't realise we had 3 scans tomorrow exciting day, will definately take my charger to work as I'll be popping on to check up on you all

Jade - we also last night! Luke squashed the baby but at least I know where my uterus is now, and time to go back to doggy *sigh*

Han - yay for your weight loss! Can't believe how well you're doing already!

Rach - you sound as if you had a lovely weekend I also would not have slept in a tent

Gonna have to go off and do these gender predictions now

Gem, Han and Rach - good luck for you scans tomorrow I hope you can find out the baby's sex

 

[sunshine623]

Hi ladies! I'm just signing on quickly here from the beach!!! It's so nice, and I've gotten a little of a tan finally for the first time all season! Can't believe I'm finally halfway through this pregnancy today! So exciting!

Rachel, Hannah, and Gemma- good luck with your scans! I really wish now I had just waited to have mine at the doctor instead of doing the early one. I'm so excited about our boy, but it's still kinda hard to get my mind around it.

Jayne, don't worry! They rarely get it wrong at 20 weeks, so I'm sure it's right.

Hearing about so many of you actually doing the deed makes me jealous! lol I haven't really wanted to much lately, but I'm ready to this week since we're on vacation. But poor Nick got sand in his swim trunks and it kinda rubbed him raw! lol So he's off limits for a couple of days I think! lol

 

[hannaho88]

Hi ladies,
Im new on here and thought I would join afetra recomendation!
I too am a verrryyy curvy lady and a UK size 24/26 and feeling rubbish at my weight! I feel like a bit of a failure to myself and my baby being this size and pregannt! (It wasn't planned - but very pleased )
I had started to lose weight before I found out i was pregnant, to strat thinning for my wedding in 18 months but then found out I was expecting, and since I have not managed to lose a single pound! And its really getting me down! I want to have the healthiest pregnancy possible but I cant shift this weight even though I am eating plenty of fruit and veg and eating really healthy
went to the doctors friday for a new patient medical at our new doctors and the nurse said to me that I would probably have to have a consultant led preganancy due to my size xxxx

 

[Rees]

:waves: hello Hannah Glad you found us

Tizy (also another Hannah) is doing Slimming World as it's safe to do during pregnancy, so maybe speak to your midwife about it when you get your booking appointment? Wow, a wedding will be so special having your little one there too

Sunshine - poor Nick! the dangers of the beach.... Hope you're enjoying sunning yourself

I'm recording and watching Foos @ T in the Park, I know so many people who went to see them live at Milton Keynes and got so bloody jealous and annoyed (especially at my oldest bestie who also saw them at Wembley a few years back and didn't know which song Everlong was!) This is definately being marked as 'keep' on the box. Dave is god....

Goodnight ladies! xxx

 

[cranberry987]

Hi too! Don't worry about losing weight. It's the one thing you don't have to do now. Just keep eating lotsa healthy food. I'm consultsnt led and it's fine tbh. You get more appts and more scans and end of the day you don't have to do what they tell you. Just do your research as they might try and scare you into things. They're sneaky sometimes

Had a lovely bonk tonight! First in ages, 6 weeks maybe? Rich is just scared of hurting me as I do get pains and stabs sometimes from normal Preg things. It was fine tho. Had roast for dinner tho and had a big puke just now. Rich said he didn't feel v well after it but he did sit in a boiling hot bath straight after eating so I dunno what he expects rly

Gonna have a swim tmw morning as I'm not working til 11.30 then it's Preg yoga. Yey

Someone didn't come round for picking up my freecycle stuff. That's so annoying ...going to the tip if they're not gone by next weekend.

 

[Rees]

@ Helen

I was sick this morning, and we had a roast last night, but then I've had about 5 hours kip currently sat on the train, waiting for it to leave the station.

I don't know if it was the shower, lack of sleep or early morning that contributed to me being sick, or maybe it was a combination of all 3? I'm definately feeling girlie vibes now, so no doubt I'll be being sick until 20+ weeks again, yay!

Hope the 3 girlies who are off to their scan enjoy seeing their babies again good luck! Xxx

 

[Cherrybinky]

Hi Hannah, *waves* welcome over. Dont worry about it being a led pregnancy, at least youre in safe hands. My friend is about a 20-22 and her BMI is sky high and shes been fine all the way through AND....HER WATERS JUST BROKE AN HOUR AGO OMG, Im excited for her.

Leigh, Im sorry youve been sick, thats not nice

I avoided a bonk last night saying I was tired and nervous about today! lol. I may not escape it tonight though!

Ive had mixed feelings for a long time about todays scan and now I feel sick with worry that they will say "Ill just go get a Dr" or "you baby has ________ wrong with it" Our scans are £5 each so its going to be costly as we need 3!

Right, Im off to drink tea and get ready. In an hour and a half Ill know !

Have a great day ladies and GOOD LUCK Gem and Han XXX

 

[cranberry987]

Throwing up again and, well, other things too. I'm labelling it as the roasts fault as this doesn't feel like ms have work at 11.30 for 2 hrs hope things settle down by then

Don't worry about the scan, there's a lot they can do even if they do find something, but the chances of there being anything wrong is rly slim.

I feel more sick when I'm tired so maybe it's the early morning, rees
