Hallo ladies,

I haven't posted for quite a few weeks since I took a bit of a bnb break. Since I am PAL I was too nervous to stay around in 1st Tri.

Well, it was quite rough. Lol had loads of nausea and I am down by 5.2lbs. That said, I am a little overweight so not too worried about it for now unless the obgyn tells me I should gain more.

I started with aquarobics and thinking of starting with pilates as well. Both are managed by a qualified midwife that now works as a gym instructor - so I feel safe under her care.

I had my 12 week NT scan about 3 weeks ago and haven't heard from the doctor which I take as good news. Lol He was happy with the scan and could pin point everything he needed to say. Baby even waved at us. :)

I started feeling bubs around 13 weeks and was confirmed when my good friend gave her doppler to use for now. I was able to spot baby's heartbeat immediately and lately I notice baby likes to play around my belly button. This morning I could feel baby turn and what an awkward feeling!!! Haha it felt like my whole stomach is turning!

I notice that I popped earlier this time so will need to get a few maternity items next week. I only have a few items in my closet that fit me now.

Now, what I would like to hear from you ladies - do you think I can proceed in my normal pants and just get a belly belt or something or would maternity pants be more comfortable? I am still the same size as when I started with this pregnancy only my belly is bigger. I have no idea! With DD I exploded so had to get other ones, but this time I am not too sure.

I hope everyone is well!!!
 
My brother's baby arrived today... A little girl named Millie! :)

I guess we will be crossing Molly of our name list!
 
My mum didn't get stretchmarks, but she didn't have twins either!! :lol: So I have no idea. I have some Moroccan body oil that I'm applying 2-3 times a day. If nothing else it's helping with the itching!

Since this is our safe place for complaining - I am a little depressed that all these aches and pains have started before my first trimester nausea and fatigue have even fully lifted - which admittedly are better this week but still there. I was hoping for some 'feel good' time in the second trimester but instead I just have a new set of whinges! My poor husband. :lol: :(

Ahhhhh, the joys of pregnancy! I get worried with each cramp or twinge. And I bet you are having a tonne more with two babies in there. The thing I try to focus on is just how lucky I am to be pregnant, and how with each day that passes well, I am inching towards taking my baby home. So, I think you can have a moment here or there to feel bummed about the nausea or the aches... But for the most part, try to focus on the good!

..I hope that us a helpful response, and not an annoying one!

yay 17 weeks today
less than two more weeks until our anatomy scan!
and two more weeks exactly until our next appointment where we will go over the results of the scan!
 
Re maternity pants I put my mat jeans on today and my sister said I looked worryingly thin on well she is massive so anything in the normal range must look anorexic to her.

I found that mat jeans are the best thing I have ever bought so comfy I would def go with these over a belly band just my opinion though
 
Belly bands don't work for me, under bump jeans don't work for me neither do those on the bump ones so I need to grab a pair of over bump ones but it's such a pain because most shops don't stock any maternity. I grew out of over bump jeans when I was pregnant with ds so I don't want to spend a fortune.
I'm loving h&m 7.99 over bump leggings although I find them a little baggy around my ankles which are the only part of my body that's stayed slim. Very few items of maternity that I kept from before fit me except a pair of leggings from next which are a 12 and I'm over the moon that I can wear a 12.

Savvy - Coconut Oil is the best thing and most natural thing to use for stretch marks. Actually, there are numerous benefits from using Unrefined Organic Coconut Oil. I made a moisturizer out of it for my face and LOVE it!

I bought some belly bands for my jeans and they seem to work very well on my pre-pregnancy pants, but I also just bought a maternity pair and oh the comfort is so much nicer in them. I wish they weren't so damn expensive!

shoot, there was something else I wanted to commit on and now I forgot... Ugh, my brain sucks!
 
I have maternity jeans from Gap but even those feel too tight. Everything feels too tight on my belly. I roll down all the over-belly pants/shorts/leggings (I have a bunch from Motherhood Maternity) so that it's as low as possible, and it's still uncomfortable. The only thing that feels good is wearing no pants at all. But I've felt this way since about week 5, so I guess my belly just bloated out and is only getting bigger each week. So many aches and pains!
 
I was much more comfortable when I moved to maternity pants, but I'm still basically stripping down to a top and undies when I walk in the door at home. I mean, it's a million friggin' degrees in Los Angeles at the moment. Where we're going, we don't need pants!
 
i bought my first pair of maternity jeans from target the other week
they are waaaay more comfortable than just using my unbottoned pre pregnancy jeans and a belly band because i swear my butt has grown and none of my jeans fit over it very well lol
they were only like $30 and they had over the belly ones in the same style that i believe were the same price
 
Hubby is going in for his surgery tomorrow morning, we thought they were keeping him awake and freezing his knee but we found out today he's going under general anaesthetic. Ugh, I'm going to be such a nervous wreck!
 
Big hugs, Captain. It's nerve-wracking, but I'm sure everything will be okay. My husband had to go under for three different surgeries when he broke his leg skiing a few years ago and the wait was awful every time.
 
I hope everything goes well Captain!

The first time i went under general anesthetic i was so scared. But it was totally ok! Your hubby will wake up and feel like only minutes passed, they'll give him a popsicle, and then usually the nurse will call right away to let you know he's ok! Try not to worry too much :hugs:
 
Good news bumble, we were told low risk but I didn't get a letter with the numbers in this pregnancy.

Countdown to gender scan...12 days!
I haven't been feeling pregnant at all the last several days. I felt like I wasn't growing. Not feeling baby move yet hasn't helped. I'm 18 weeks tomorrow and for some reason that number is comforting. Today I feel a bit crampy and I just sneezed-Wow! RLP city! I have to remember to crouch over in my seat if I sneeze again. Ouch. Maybe that means I am having a growing day? I hope so. It's not that I want to get big. But I want to feel like this is all real. Can anyone relate? Yesterday I decided I would pretend all my gas bubbly feelings are the baby. Just to keep my spirits up.
