Curvy ladies

[xheartsx]

Hello ladies. Ok so i think i have figured out i have a serious problematic craving..mars bars!! I can't get them out of my head. Ive had like 3 this week. Why couldn't i have craved something healthy..salad? Nooo.

Just a bit of background on me. I'm Jade, and i'm 22 next month. I'm from Hertfordshire but moved to Scotland where i met my partner of 2 and a half years. We've been engaged for a year and wanted to get married before baby comes but alas i might lose my job and we don't have the money.

Hope everyone is OK tonight. x X x

Aw Jade, 3 mars bars isnt so bad, Ive eaten way too much in chocolate and crisps this week but I am craving fruit too and have eaten 2 plums, 2 pears and 2 granny smiths per day for a while now and I have cravings for water which is weird.

Its a shame you might lose your job and it will affect your wedding but if it were me, Id rather wait till my baba could be a bridesmaid or page boy

Ive been married before and got divorced about 4 years ago. I asked Pete to marry me (in a round about way!) on Valentines this year even though I said Id never get married again and he doesnt want to get married but did say if were still together in 5 years he will think about it LOL. Its just not his thing.

everyone. Thankyou to anyone who's just come over, its really nice to have an active thread with similar minded people. Its kept me going on crap days

Ill give a little background to me for anyone who hasnt seen mine:

Im Rachel, Im 34 and live in Leeds. My partner is Pete who is 32 and weve been together over a year but known each other longer. We met through going to conventions! This is my first baby but Im step Mummy to Xander 5 and Isobel 4.

I lost my job last Monday and so Im on here a lot and Facebook too.
XX

Sorry to hear you lost your job. DH just went through that last month and it was hard on us. Now he has to find a decent job by the time I go on leave so we're not dirt poor when the baby comes, just kind of poor... lol

I didn't even say my age.... I'm 27 and DH is 30. Xander is my youngest's name, he's 4! And I've been throwing around the name "Isobel" for a girl but DH isn't interested...

I'm working full time up until about 8 weeks before my due date and I'm STILL on here and Facebook pretty regularly...

 

[xheartsx]

mars bars, crisps, cakes, i've been soo bad. I need to stop it because i'm just getting into a bad habit. I wish i was craving fruit! I was craving strawberries the other day, but covered in chocolate lol.

We never had any plans to get married this year, it just would have been nice, but i know what you mean, i'd like our kid to be part of it (I'm secretly wanting a boy!) I have my scan on thursday - this will be the first time ive actually seen evidence that i'm pregnant. I'll i've had up til now is my home tests at the beginning. Very excited/scared!

And i found out yesterday that my cousin is due 4 days after me..with twins! It's obviously in the family haha.

Do you have any preferences..boy or girl?

 

[Cherrybinky]

I would like a boy. I wanted a girl to start with desperately but Xander already has a sister, Isobel and he has 2 step sisters too so hes surrounded by girls. Isobel has told us strictly she wants "a little girl sister and no boys!" as she doesnt like them LOL

I just tried on a lovely top I bought from Next for the summer in an 18 (Im normally a comfy 16) and its too tight OMG!! Too much eating!

Letshaveababy: We will get by but will be poor too lol. I dont want to have to find work after the baby is born but now I might have to and get help with childcare. Thats my worst nightmare

Hi Ladies so I'm right around size 22 and was wondering when you all started to feel your belly's getting a little harder and when your pants started to feel tighter??

 

[Locksley27]

unfortunately you cant tell whether or not its body fat youve put on or water weight etc thats why they say not to worry too much about weight gain during pregnancy just to eat healthily and keep active.

Very true with my last pregnancy I put on 40 lbs and freaked out. About a week after giving birth I had already lost about 25 lbs because so much was water.

 

[Blue12]

Oh I hope my weight is water weight - probably isn't LOL

 

[amanda77]

Can I join you ladies? I am TTC and I am on cycle 2.....I am plus sized and would love to have some "fluffy" friends to share things with!

 

[Mamof1]

Hello Im a plus size too . My BMI is horrendous!, but I don't even feel that big :/. Im pretty healthy too, I dont feel like a big person (if that makes sense). I was a size 18/20 (UK). Had my 1st appointment with my midwife yesterday and she said Im high risk because of my BMI, which has made me panic!!.

I have a 10 yr old son Daniel, so everything in pregnancy is all new to me x

 

[xheartsx]

Hi Mamof1. My BMI is 29.5 but i think it would have gone up now as i have put on about 5lbs. I think nowadays they just keep a closer eye on the bigger ladies who have a BMI over 30, and i think you might even get a few extra scans (which is a brucey bonus!). You will have no need to panic. As long as your blood pressure etc is healthy then you will be fine!!

I have my scan tomorrow and keep freaking out incase they can't see the baby through my flabby belly haha. xx

 

[Cherrybinky]

Hi girls, welcome Hope youre all well today. Im having a good day, feeling happier.

My BMI is 32 and I weighed 13.6 at my first midwife appt (4 weeks) and by 12 weeks I was 14.1. I darent get weighed this week now as I feel way too fat and horrible.

I love the description 'fluffy' its lovely

[xheartsx]

Hi Cherry, glad you're feeling better! I'm waiting for my OH to get home to go out for a late lunch! a big fat burger or something

For the time being, i'm watching these freakos on Jeremy Kyle!!

 

[Cherrybinky]

Well Im still angry as I got my 'sacked' letter today and Im seriously considering them for unfair dismissal, b*stards. I had mackerel on toast which I also had yesterday as Im craving it!
Kievs, potatoes and peas for tea. Im watching Season 4 of Buffy. We started at the beginning again as were both avid fans. Its been a few years since I watched them. Pure genius ! Then off to pick my step son Xander up from school and go to a health fair.

 

[Housewife83]

So sorry to hear about your work troubles.

I've tried adding the curvy ladies gif, but I can't copy it. How can I get it?

 

[Tizy]

WOW girlies, where did everyone come from - so nice to see lots of new peeps in the thread!!! Hello everyone!

I wasn't on BnB yesterday as I took a days holiday and was busy decorating at home, think i've got 'nesting' instinct already!!! Its all going well but the house is still upside down, mine and OH room is done, next is my daughter Hollys and then its the baby's...I'll post some pics when we're finished.

Letshaveababy - hello, we got pregnant in the first month of trying (well the first week) and it was a bit of a shock for us too, after being on the bcp for 13 years I was expecting it to take ages!! Great news tho!

Ginaerhol - Of course you can join, welcome, tell us a bit about yourself.

xheartsx - You made me laugh with your mars bar craving , I've been craving sweet things too and funny but also same as Cherrybinky any sort of smoked fish, particularly that hot smoked salmon chunks you can buy! so yummy. Don't worry about your scan, of course they will find baby!! Lol...

mrswichman - Hello, my belly feels a little harder when lying down and my pants are def too tight, I can't wear any of my old clothes, in maternity stuff now, but I have put on 10lbs!!

Locksley27 - Hello, I also put on about 40lb in my last pregnancy and if this one is anythin g to go by looks like I'll do the same as I'm averaging at 1lb a week so far (at least). Think I'm only meant to put on 15-20lbs!!!

Amanda77 - Of course you can join, lovely to have peeps TTc too, we can all share your excitment when you get your . Wishing you lots of

[Cherrybinky]

Afternoon all.

Han, I wondered where you were yesterday! I did a house blitz yesterday morning including a skirting board clean!

I got weighed this morning and Im 14.1 so still havent put anymore on thank GODS. Ive eaten so much bread, pasta, chips and chocolate its criminal!

Ive had mackerel on toast 3 days running and I cant stop eating conference pears and Im still on the granny smiths!

Hope all you girls are well

[Tizy]

Hi Rachel,

Skirting board clean? Whats that!! lol...I was horrified when we moved our bed and saw all the dust and dirt underneath it - blerghhhhhhh

I'm good, well last week when I weighed I was 14stone 3!!!!! but i'm hoping this week i might have lost some as I've been so busy at home.

Wierd that we both have the smoked fish craving, thing is I love anything salty...terrible for it!!

Han Xxx

 

[Cherrybinky]

LOL its a wet cloth round the skirting boards. We have a little damp in the living room outer wall so I like to clean the wall and skirting to stop mould etc. I darent move some things in our house as I dread what Id find. I regularly have to pull the sofas out and get on my hands and knees with a bowl of water and get the cat hair up! EWW.

Im craving salt too. I stopped putting it on my food years back but now Im putting it on every single thing, even in soup! I checked and apparently some pregnant women crave it due to sodium levels dropping so were safe. Im loving fish at the moment too, I eat a lot of it anyway but smoked and mackerel are my fave!

Oh, see, now I want some salty popcorn...ooooooooooooooh.

 

[Tizy]

Haha, yes I know what a skirting board clean is, just that I never get round to doing it, my sarcastic tone obviously doesn't suit me Lol

We have a cat too - called Bruce, he's lovely but is ginger and white so that cat hairs do get everywhere. I'm a bit worried about keeping him when the baby's here, my friend said she would look after him for me for a bit, its just you can't leave a baby at all when there is a cat around, not even to pop to the loo! Have your cats been wierd with you at all? Mine bit me the other day and he doesn't usually bite, I wondered if it was my hormones????

Aparently the sodium levels dropping is due to our increased blood supply and we need more salt to balance this, so thats a plus point of being pregnant!!!
