FEBRUARY HEARTS Due in February 2015 , open group all welcome!

[luminescent]

I definitely have bloat, but nowhere near that size as this is my first. hehe, loose clothing and dresses! that's what I plan to do if mine gets really noticeable before I want to tell.

sorry to those that are having severe sickness I hope it'll be easing up for everyone soon. I haven't physically thrown up, but my all day nausea is making me miserable! I can hardly set foot in the grocery store anymore, the only things that smell good/appeal to me are the fresh fruits. I had to walk around smelling my bag of nectarines the other day while OH shopped because I couldn't look around or smell the other foods without feeling like I was going to be sick. he thought I was being ridiculous..if only men knew!!

also, good for bridget going skydiving haha. that's pretty intense. some new friends want to go to a small theme park nearby (nothing huge, a couple of coasters and county-fair sort of rides) but everything I look up online says there's little to no info on side effects, but rides should probably be avoided during pregnancy. not surprising, I just don't want to give myself away by avoiding the trip. I LOVE thrill rides, so I can't fake being scared either. I'll have to play sick or something. bummed!

Jmandrews, yes! I have a bloat bump! Lol I have my first OB appt on Wed! I'm so nervous but super excited too! My OB said she'll probably schedule my first scan for Thurs or Fri this week. Yay!!!

 

[MissEyre]

[ShamzLovesKai]

Hope you're all ok x

Happy belated birthday Megan x

Hope you are ok Bridget x

I have terrible bloat Unfortunately because I am already plus size I just look even fatter which is not fun. I have actually lost 8lbs since my bfp but you would think I had put on 20lbs looking at me! Hope it starts looking like a baby soon

 

[2nd time]

My bely has popped lol taking my other 4 to playgroup this morning and I know people will notice lol im not bothered though. I threw up 4 times in morrisons carpark yesterday people were looking at me like im crazy lol the joys of pregnancy. My bump has popped earlier with each pregnancy this being my 5th child 6th pregnancy I lookn6months already although I am 9lb down on pre preg weight, but that being said I have lost 14lb with each preg so far started as a size 18 with no1 and now in a 10/ 12 lol best diet ever

 

[lynnikins]

Im tempted to jump onto the scales and see what the last week looks like in weight loss because i know i lost some ( not because i was trying to ) A close friend found out shes pregnant yesterday I gave her some of my un-used tests as they would of expired before this baby is born so no chance to use them myself and I knew she and her husband were trying and that she was a few weeks late and getting early pregnancy symptoms , turns out shes only 2 weeks approx behind me and has her first antenal appointment the same day as I do! I am so excited for her as shes been married less than a year but as her and her husband are older then she didn't know if they could have kids and she really wanted a baby so badly.

 

[lynnikins]

could feel better but today hasnt been all bad with morning sickness just waiting for DH to get home and hes gonna cook because i cant stand up that long one night of decent sleep does not make up for the 4 days of literally no sleep

Is everyone well in your house again?

nearly, still seeing the tail end of the stomach bugs but i think mostly the liquid nappies from my 9 month old are more to the fact hes been on a nearly all liquid diet for 4 days more than his tummy being upset and my 4 yr old seems much better.

 

[British Mummy]

here's my bloat at 7.5 Weeks but its gone now. it felt huge but now my digestive system is behaving its gone back down completely.
saying that, I felt so sick yesterday before leaving the house that nothing felt comfortable, I relented and got my maternity Jeans out, heaven!!!! its going to be difficult not to stay in them. it seems ridiculous though, 9 Weeks and in maternity. my clothes fit but feel horribly uncomfortable. good luck with everyones scans. mine is on the 6th.. might get a countdown on lilypie, feels like forever away!!

 

[lynnikins]

my scan will need to be before the 8th but they cant book it till after the 31st when i get my booking appointment at last.

Awwww happy birthday Megan, hope the day turns around for you!! Glad you had a good trip, whereabouts where you? I lived in Boston for a couple of years and enjoyed exploring up and down the coast!

Thanks (to everyone!) for wishing me a happy birthday. I was in Gloucester, and visited Rockport, Salem, and Plymouth (on the drive up there) and also Boston at the end. Gloucester was stunning and we want to retire there one day.

 

[Megamegan]

Glad to hear Bridget must be fine.

I am SO SO happy you all posted pictures of your bloat. Mine is the same, looks like a flabby baby belly but it's just bloat. It comes and goes and I notice it goes down if I exercise. And if it makes you all feel any better, I've been in maternity pants since 7 weeks. I don't even care. It's comfy and no one knows, so I'm doing it.

 

[RaspberryK]

That sounds like a lovely time megan, it's my birthday on Monday and we are heading to near Truro in Cornwall to visit with the inlaws who are currently walking the South coast for charity.

I love maternity pants. They're just so comfortable.

Happy belated birthday Megan! I'm glad you had a nice trip up the coast!

Hi everyone. I have not wrote on here for a while as i started feeling low. But i feel good again. I had two weeks of feeling nausea all day and now i suffer from extreme tiredness and can feel sickly if i do not eat regular.

i hope everyone else is well.

i had my booking appointment yesterday. Had bloods and planned a hospital for birth. Weighed and measured. It was nice to get the ball rolling. Feel more happy now.

Family on both sides know now. Im having abit of trouble with my family telling me i need to eat less and my mum told me im inactive today which upset me. Because i can not drive and long walks are exhausting me im limiting how far i go. I still go out a couple of times a week but most days everyones at work. I used to walk and bike alot when i was working. I only stopped 6 weeks ago and ive only slowed my excercise down for the last 3 weeks. So at min im annoyed everyones giving me tips how to not get fat etc.

I see some of you have had scans now. Thats brill. Im waiting for my date to come through. Ill be so happy then. It will feel so real

How annoying! We haven't told my parents, because I am not ready for them to start checking in and offering their two cents!

I was doing a lot of sport before getting pregnant (1.5 hours x 4-5 times per week)... But that has slowed right down to 30 mins on an elliptical trainer every other day! I never feel like doing it, but do feel better afterwards. Apparently being active makes pregnancy and birth easier... That is pretty much my only motivation to leave the couch!!

i know its totally annoying. I said well im pregnant so in eating more for that reason. She said well you still have to cut back because your inactive now. I walked a mile to my appointment yesterday then walked round the shops. Today i cant even bare the thought of movibg. I have slept most of the day. I might start having a brisk walk on the treadmill.

My mum and sister are very much a throw up and get on with it type. Im more of a rest and itl pass in a few weeks type. I was suprised when the dr said i weighed 12 stone as im only a size 10-12 uk size. I do have muscular legs from biking and walking. Just my belly is bloated and stands out. There saying they dont know if im over eating or its water. Deffo wish i had kept it more quiet xx
