According to that I should gain 2 stone 6 lbs.
My midwife hasn't weighed me since my booking appointment.

 

[Pixie71]

Mine hasn't weight me since I was about 6 or 8 weeks!!! I've a scale at home that I weigh myself on occasionally.

 

[twiggy56]

I never bother about weight...i just dont go near scales!! And if the midwife weighs me i ask her to just write it in my notes and not say out loud! lol

Think u can get a bit caught up in the numbers....i know if iv put on weight, i can feel it and by how tight my clothes are!

Tells you approx what amount of weight you should expect to gain!

haha i have gained a over a stone more then what i should have, going by that

I've only a stone on and I am eating chocolate like its going to disappear if I don't!!!

Only 7 weeks and 3 days to due date!!!! Aggh!!!!

iv put 2 and a bit stone on, im constantly hungry tho so not surprized iv gained so much

am worried tho with xmas coming up and all them tempting foods

lets hope these 7 weeks fly by, x

 

[Pixie71]

True, am very excited and nervous! Beautywithin, we are due same day!!!!

I'm not going to weigh myself - even if I've gained loads there isn't going to be anything I can do about it until the baby is here anyway.

I got my letter from my gp this morning offering me the swine flu jab. I had said to myself a while back that I would have it if it was offered but it feels different now that I really have to decide.

 

[Pixie71]

I had it, all was fine! Depends on how much you would be in confined busy places and dealing with lots of people! You've 11 weeks to go, I had it around then as well I think!

 

[teal]

I'll probably stress about it over the next few days. From what I've heard on here and from friends who've had it they've been fine with it. xx

 

[twiggy56]

i declined the jab- i just wasnt comfortable enough with the amount of testing its had done in relation to pregnancy. But its a totally personal choice...only you will know whats best for your baby...

i didnt let anyone elses opinion (apart from my GP as i had a lengthy chat with him about it) affect my decision as at the end of the day its you that has to go home and feel happy that you've done the right thing by your baby!

OMG, one box to go. eek!!!

You're right about it being everyones own decision. My gp seems to be pushing it which doesn't make me feel that it's just a chat about how I feel about it.
I'm not really in contact with that many people. I drive aswell so I get to avoid public transport.
I'll let it sit over the next few days and see how I feel. I might speak to one of the midwives and see what her opinion is on it because it's not been mentioned at any of my appointments.

 

[twiggy56]

Yeah teal...make sure its your decision....my GP was lovely and didnt try and sway me either way. But i spoke to my mum about getting it (who is a midwife herself) in some depth and obviously her advice for me was the most genuine as it can be!

Im the same as you, im off work now, have a car and avoid busy public places and crowds. I take extra precautions when out...like even at a cash machine (after typing in my pin on the buttons) or at the petrol station (holding the pump) i always antibac gel my hands...i keep one in my car and in my handbag at all times!

See what you feel is right for you after speaking to the professionals and getting as much info as you can...thats the best you can do!!

Hi all

Had a rubbish day, really tired and suffering with SPD. Fed up as after being booked into see the physio on Friday morning she has now cancelled and i cant get booked in now til mid January - which means waiting weeks now for a support belt Had a big hormonal cry about it!!!

 

[twiggy56]

aww hugs Sorry rach...thats a bit shoddy of them making u wait that long...i think im also suffering spd but its not too bad just now, but i can feel it getting worse..

 

[Pixie71]

You can get a support belt in mothercare, I got one on friday, they are sized by your waist and it is really helping me. They are not expensive.

 

[teal]

Yay 30 weeks today I can't believe I'm this far! xx

 

[Beautywithin]

Happy 30 weeks teal x

 

[_Vicky_]

HAPPY 30 WEEKS TEAL!!!!

Awww big hugs Rach xxxxxxxxxxxx

How are well all today? Cant believe I am nearly 33 weeks - I was half expecting them to keep me in after my scan yesterday but nope boys are growing fabulously and both still on the upper curve thing for size on the graph eekkkkk. Fynn (twin1) is still head down and Sam (twin2) is breech sooo we are all set for a vaginal delivery atm lol - I kind of dont mind which as they both have their pros and cons which is really odd as I dont have my heart set on one of the other which is the best I guess.

On the down side my bp is up (from 90/60 at booking in to 130/80 booooo) sooo I have to go to my gp midwife weekly - I then called my gp midwife and the next appointment is - WAIT FOR IT 13TH JAN hahahahahahahaha. I told her thats not good enough and I need to see someone weekly and she is arranging for the mw to call me back today to arrange something, I then called the hospital to tell them to see if worst case scenario I could go there weekly and they are writing a letter to gp mw saying she has to see me weekly - POWER TO THE PEOPLE. One reason I am sooo glad I am old (36) ten years ago I would never have been soo demanding. Sooo I am a bit scared about PE but I did feel very stresed the last two times they did my bp as we were waiting for over an hour on those god awful plastic chairs and HATE waiting hehehehehehhehe
