***December Dreamers*** 70 babies born***

[ducky1502]

I'm making the most of it now cause I know things will probably change once I've had a baby. No woman in my family is skinny, they're all average size and got their fair share of flab when they had kids. Hoping I'm going to break the mould lol! Has anyones nipples really changed?! mine look like they do after a wk of topless sunbathing but some patches are really brown and looks like I've got freckles on them too! Weird!

If you girls hold out for your free 20 week appointment, think of all the baby stuff you can buy with the money you save! It might be something to think about....

I'm not doing a belly pic this week. I feel like my stomach is smaller, and I've lost 4 pounds since being home from the hospital. Probably due to peeing out all the iv fluids and I've also been having some bowel issues which has probably contributed.

Stiches are healing good I think. It still hurts to pee and everytime I sneeze or cough I an definately feel them tightening. I have been walking around the house and yard for short bits of time, and so far all seems fine.

As for buying stuff, we're poor right now, so buying stuff isn't even an option. Hubby is a logger and for 3-5 months of the year he's unemployed. This year was a short breakup, 3 months, but even still we end up playing catch up all year with the bills that go unpaid during breakup. So we never come out on top, and we're nowhee close to being able to buy stuff.

thats mad good on you!!!!


Can i ask know its a bit personal, but has any people taken much weight yet?
I have lost 9lbs and eating healthy, no sickness at all, wasnt concerned but starting to wonder if i should have by now.
I cant really compare to my first as i gained loads but thats because i well over ate?

 

[Sherri81]

Well according to my scale, right before surgery I was up by 8 or 9 pounds. But I've lost 4 since surgery, so I'm sitting at a gain of 5 right now. I don't think it's too bad since by 15 weeks with Greg I'd gained almost 30! I definately over ate with Greg and bad junk stuff too. With this one I'm trying to eat healthy. But of course I do go overboard every now and then. I've also still got bouts of nausea with this one which I stopped having with Greg at about 10 weeks. I'm starting to wonder if it's due to my continued use of progesterone suppositories that I'm still getting nausea.

Thanks sherri im not complaining loosing weight however only if its safe that its happening.
I have felt sick through this preg but not been sick, but fine now, so not really any reason to have lost weight, i understnd people that are vomiting everyday!

 

[ducky1502]

I think it's perfectly normal to lose weight and not put it back on until later on. A lot of women eat better in pregnancy so lose weight from that and are still gaining for the baby but because you're losing weight you don't notice (if that makes sense?!)

I started off weighing 7st 13lbs (was classed as underweight technically but I have always been naturally small). With my MS I went down to about 7st 3lb when I was at my lightest and now I'm back up to about 7st 8lb. I'm under shared care with a doctor because of my low BMI but they're not worried.

Everyone is different when it comes to weight in pregnancy, some people gain nothing at all and some end up 5stone heavier!

I'm finally beginning to feel myself again and have been thinking about joining some kind of pregnancy excercise class or go swimming, even just once a week.

 

[lozzy21]

Iv gone down a jean size but not sure how much iv actualy lost but im eating better because baby is depending on me.

Iv got my consultant app tomorrow, not looking forward to it at all.

i've lost 16 pounds... not by choice, but i'm eating very healthy, still throwing up a couple of times a week (like twice today... grrr) and running around so much at work.
the result was a fine picture of me in a dress on friday, that i bought in spring '08 in england and have never worn before, because it was one of these "oh it's nice, one day it'll fit"-clothes . it will be a great motivational pic for after giving birth! my BMI is still slightly above 25, i think 25.4, but with my 5'11" i actually look and feel great and i'm not worried.

i'm not starving myself, but i'm listening to my body and my stomach all of a sudden fills up pretty quickly and then i won't just eat more, as it'll make me throw up. i believe nature will regulate things and i'm monitoring my vitamin and mineral intake and know baby gets what it needs. the weight gain will come all by itself in a couple of weeks, i'm sure. as i'm not the smallest, my goal however is to not put on that much! one of the bartender girls at work put on 100 (!!!) lbs. with her daughter. took her 3 years to get back to her original weight of 120 lbs.

tomorrow or today i have my doctor appointment. 2PM florida time. i'm sooo nervous. a girl that i work with, who had the same doctor/birth center said they may only do the scan at 24 weeks, because only ONE ultrasound is included in the cash-pay-price. however, if it's not toooo expensive, i want to ask to get that one done tomorrow and then pay extra later on in the pregnancy for another one. i'll be 14 +2 and i soooo wanna see LO!

wishing you a good night now. hopefully these weird dreams will leave me alone tonight. they're really bothering me!!!

Good Morning all

I had a terrible nights sleep last night, but think it was the 2 cups of tea I had in the evening! Wont do that again!

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend

Love my new ticker today!....14 weeks!

 

[nikki-lou25]

KellyC - I also had a bad nights sleep. I woke up around 3am and just couldnt get back off! Hate that!!

I lay listening to bubs this morning with DD - she didnt have a clue, so she just danced to it lol!! I got a very strong "boy" feeling when listening tho...but I was totally wrong with Aimee last time I was pg lol

 

[WILSMUM]

I lost 5lbs in first tri and I've not been sick or ev en really felt sick at all - I put a couple of lbs back on now though! I'm eating healthily and have a healthy BMI (24.2 I think it was at 12 wk scan) and my bump does actually seem to b growing now so I'm not worried!

Got my blood test appointment witht he MW on thurs and wondering whether she'll do any other checks while I'm there - i hope she listens for bubs HB as DH actually has the day off for a Drs appoitment of his own so he's able to come to the MW with me!!! I'm really worried and dreaing getting the results back! DH keeps saying don't worry everything'll b fine but I'm not so sure! Seems like everyone else is coming back as Low Risk at the mo so as the odds r that a few of us will be high risk I'm pretty much convinced that my results will come back as high risk again as they did with DS!
