January Snowdrops 2016: 58 BFPs and counting (12 boys / 8 girls / 4 surprises)!

Thanks Lilly.

Def take those ouch cramps as warning to slow down hun. As the scan lady thinks that's probably how my blood vessel popped because I was gardening etc...and didn't stop when I felt the ouch pains.

I have had lots of aches and pains this pregnancy already, again they think it could be my uterus tired and part my Endometriosis. Xx

 

[Frustrated1]

At the start I dropped a couple of pounds but I have def gained about 3lbs already as I am normally 7st 10lbs and I am up to 7st 13lbs...Scary! My BMI is usually around 16/17 so midwife thinks I will require extra scans around 28/34 weeks just to check baby is growing properly and because I have had a couple of 5lb range babies. Xx

I take it back... I am not light! I am a heifer compared to you Lesh!

Lol...I'm certain your not Frustrated! I've just always been diddy. I gain weight in pregnancy and it just drops after baby is born. I've had tests and everything and no answers. I got told "I am just meant to be small" Xx

 

[sportysgirl]

Great news Lesh.

 

[donnarobinson]

I'm a heifer lol.
I use to be slim even then I was 10 stone having babies so close and not watching what I eat after and I've gained a lot! I tend to only put baby weight on and lose it after but I always put it back on!
My bmi is 31
I lost one and half stone in my last pregnancy tho and I lost two stone after he was born with in 5 weeks I was lighter than when I started but it didn't last and I put it back on I'm ashamed of my body it use to be lovely lol x

 

[blessedmomma]

donna- please don't be ashamed of your body. your babies are well worth it. i used to be a size 2. i have been up and down so much between my 7 children, that it doesn't bother me in the least anymore. and I am secretly hoping you have a girl this time!! yay for your scan!!!

lesh- sounds like an sch to me?? they put me on total pelvic rest for it. not bed rest, but no lifting, pushing, pulling, sex, or exercise.

lilly- plenty of water and lots of rest!

sakura- I will defintiely be buying after finding out the gender. babies need so much, I don't think it's ever too early to shop

 

[PitaKat]

Those are some cute dresses! I'm that way too, i see dresses that i like, but don't buy them if i don't have a place to wear them to! i have bought one maternity shirt, and several cute unisex onsies. Shopping is part of the pregnancy experience, right?

I have only gained 1 lb so far, although I had my fair share of bloating early on. I gained 37 lbs with my son, so I'm interested to see how much i gain this time.

We had a very busy weekend, stayed at the in-law's house and attended a funeral for my hubby's aunt. It was sad, but also really beautiful to see how much she's loved. I met a lot of family i hadn't yet met. My kiddo was the only kid there and slept through the whole thing and recieved a lot of praise for being "so quiet!" during the ceremony lol.

 

[LockandKey]

Just got back from my MW appointment, uterus is measuring where it should be, and baby's HB was 150. LO kept moving around away from the doppler

 

[sportysgirl]

Great appointment lock x

 

[LillyFleur]

Thanks girls, I did drink a glass of water and put my feet and up all seems to be ok now, phew. Def taking this as a sign to slow down, I was carrying a 20kg Jerry can out of the garage this morning which in hindsight I really shouldn't have done, hopefully all will be ok and it's just a little warning.

Speaking of weight I've gained around 4lbs, but recently lost 30lbs (jan - April) so glad I've just not gone nuts and gained it all back! I'm trying to eat reasonably healthy, I used to go on my exercise bike every night but currently it's about once a week...

 

[blessedmomma]

lockandkey- sounds like a nice appt!

pita- good boy for being so quiet

good lilly- take it easy!

I have lost about 6 lbs from being so sick. I usually lose some in the beginning and don't gain anything til 3rd tri and not usually til about 33ish weeks do i put anything on. oddly enough when I start out tiny, I gain about 60 lbs. and when I start out having not lost the baby weight from last time, I only gain about 20 lbs. so no matter where I start I always end up the same in the end, even though I don't do anything differently. so weird!

 

[Frustrated1]

I have just plucked up the courage to weigh myself and have gained 17lbs already. That's more than I feared. Really need to nip this in the bud now. Now my bleeding has stopped I'm starting back with some gentle exercise so hopefully that will help along with a massive cut back on carbs.

 

[SakuraRayne]

saw bub today my poor little man was asleep haha doc made him move n he was kicking n moving was soo amazing to see but everything is doing well we kinda came up with one name we were thinking Zane Hunter what you ladies think of that name?

 

[lesh07]

That's great lock! Good luck Donna on your scan today. Xx

 

[lesh07]
