February babies

[Caseys]

It's a bit off topic, but it's just a curiosity of mine.
I was born on February 14, and weighed about 11.44 lbs. And I know a couple of other people born in February and all of them were fatties too...
Is it normal?

Probably due to the mommies indulging in all of the Christmas sweets!

That's what I thought too.
My mom weighed about 198, while my dad weighed 275 lbs.
It's probably the above answer or just the fact that I resemble with my parents.

I was born Feb 9th and weighed under 7lb (Mum doesnt remember exactly) and i was overdue. I think Mum was sick the whole pregnancy and couldnt indulge in Christmas treats!

7 girls, how lovely!!

This will my 3rd child but 7th pregnancy (so still very scary for me). I have a girl and a boy, but we are a blended family (I have 2 stepsons) so this will be our 5th child. Girl 13, boy 12, boy 10, boy 3 and this one is a little boy too. 4 boys and a girl!

Hi! I'm 39 and having my first, due on February 29th! It's a boy and he's doing really well. I'm scheduled for extra ultrasounds due to a fibroid and just had one yesterday. The Dr's were concerned that the fibroid might inhibit his growth but got great news that he is doing just fine and is actually a little on the big side at 60%! I did indulge a bit in the Christmas sweets the last few weeks as I got a stinking cold and ate a bunch of chocolate because I was feeling sorry for myself. So hopefully now that I'm being good about the sweets he'll get back to normal and not be a big baby by delivery time, eeek!

Hi february mums! How are you all doing?

I hope everybody is feeling great! I am pretty good and 31 weeks today! Had blood test a while ago but did not get results yet. Does this mean everything was fine? I assume so.

We have also started parentcraft classes and suddenly birth does feel quite close now

What are my fellow feb moms up to?

 

[Borboleta]

I did my blood sugar blood test and found out I have gestational diabetes!! Not happy about that! No sweets and bad carbs for me until baby is born. I am a fitness instructor and still teach my classes, so I just don't get it! I know I am a sweet tooth but why me !!!!! Oh, well I just hope our baby will be healthy and at a normal weight. I really don't want to del ever a 10 pound baby !!!

At the moment I have a bad cough and I guess baby must be sitting in my bladder because sometimes I cough and pee on myself at the same time ! Don't you love pads !!

And I really need to register for the birth classes! I am so behind! At least we are working on the nursery and I am really excited about that!

My house is a mess with Christmas and baby stuff all over the place! I was always a neat freak so now I say that is God preparing me to be a mom and not stress out about the little things.

How is every one else doing?

Hi ladies! I will be 32 weeks on Thursday, can't believe it! I also have a mess in the house because of Christmas and trying to organize things for the baby. I am waiting to get anything else for her until after Christmas.

I have been sooooo tired lately....wow! Also very sore when I am up alot on my feet. oh well not much longer to go at all really!

Hello feb mums! I'm due on 12th Feb so and 31 + 3 days today.

I'm 38 and this will be my first - exciting and daunting!!

 

[marlene]

Borboleta, sorry to hear about your gestational diabetes - it's not long to go and easy to control with your diet. I would find it really hard to give up sweets though .

Same here, like beachcoomber and borboleta the house is a bit of a mess but I struggle to bend and hoover etc. I have got half of the things I need for the baby and the rest I will get in January, which should be fine.

happy festive season everybody!
