July/August (Summer Sunbeams) 2012!

[bunda]

it is so good to hear someone say they loved their body when pregnant. I have always though pregnant women look beautiful. Nothing looks 'wrong'about the bump, it just looks different but lovely and round and full.

But all I read is about women complaining how fat and ugly they feel. I was beginning to think I'd hate my body, but maybe not. Maybe it's your attitude to what you 'should' look like that dictates how you feel about yourself when pregnant.

I'm not sure about how it's going to be, when the bump gets cumbersome and it's hard to move about. I'll just have to shout orders from the sofa or something.

Hi :wave: mixedbeauty!!

I absolutely cannot wait until i'm huge!!! And i promise i will not complain at all this time! Fingers crossed all goes well this time...

I am sooo ready for a bump

 

[bunda]

welcome, mixedbeauty welcome to the thread.

I am also very ready for the bump and the all the rest of it. Time is really dragging at the moment, though. I feel like it's taking forever. I have a doc appointment tomorrow (don't really know what to expect) and since I live in the UK, I'm unlikely to get a scan until near the end of January (that seems an age away!).

With my dd my doc appointment consisted of putting on the system that I was preg and booking a booking in appointment with the mw at around 10 weeks. This time I haven't even phoned for an appointment yet think I'm gonna phone and ask if I can see mw straight away.

 

[MrsMoo72]

Im in uk as well, didn't see doc either of 2previous pregnancies. Im gonna ring and book straight in with mw but I know she wont see me for another couple of weeks yet....

Hello, I am new

My EDD is August 29th.

Added you to the first post hun

Have been feeling so bad today. I worked out my ticker by ov (think CTP works it out automatically?) but by LMP - which I think is what the Drs go by - I'd be 6 weeks today, sure would make sense with MS kicking my ass today

 

[oopsbaby]

Hi sunbeams, I have caught the nasty tummy bug my boys have had and so have been constantly throwing up all day, and unable to even keep water down (and I thought ms was bad!! ) Well been free of the sickness for a couple of hours now so, taking it easy and hoping I'll wake up feeling better in the morning. To OP who said she has no symptoms (sorry my poorly brain won't let me remember who it was) don't worry hun, I didn't have any with my DS, I had the perfect pregnancy, no aches, pains, sickness or nausea, and he was a healthy (if big) 10lbs born and is now a happy and healthy 4 year old xxx

 

[oopsbaby]

Yay puppycat you've jumped forward by a week!! xx

 

[nicola ttc]

I feel like that today too puppy. M/S kicked in with a bang. Been shattered the last few days too.
Thats great if lmp dates put us a couple of days forward!!
Oops - hope you're feeling better in the morning, it's horrible enough having a bug like that anyway but even worse when you have kids to look after too.

Thanks hun, believe it or not they've been angels!! Saying that, they have both had it so thats a plus, as need a good nights sleep tonight xx

I'm not sure about how it's going to be, when the bump gets cumbersome and it's hard to move about. I'll just have to shout orders from the sofa or something.

Seriously, though, its still really hard to imagine myself with a bump that big.

 

[nicola ttc]

Oops - Ahhh, bless them. my boys are 4 and 2. So horrible seeing them poorly, you just wsh you could take it away and make them all better.

Bunda - I have loved my bumps every single time. some have been little footballs at the front, others i've just got huuuuge all over but always feel womanly and sexy and powerful and lovely. Even in the last tri when, yep, it's a bit cumbersome but, hey, you've got a whole little person in there!!

I absolutly loved my pregnant body last time. Its all i've ever wanted, to be pregnant so i really couldnt wait to get a huge belly. I loved every second & i cant wait to do it again. i dont have a huge bum but i loved that how the bigger my belly got, the smaller my ass looked haha.

I've not really had any symptoms other than back ache & feeling absolutly wiped out & tired, ohh the tiredness. I did expect it tho what with running around after & still bf'ing a toddler.

 

[struth]

MrsMoo - how is the spotting today? Has it stopped? I hope so

Puppy and Nicola - sorry to hear that the ms has hit you. Still - it is a good sign that everything is heading in the right direction!

Oops - darn stomach bug! I had it a couple of weeks ago (right around ovulation - nice!!). I hope you are all over the worst.

AFM - I had a scare last night as my spotting got quite heavy and bright red but it seems to have died down again today. We're back to light brown (TMI!!). I'm going to be marching in to the drs on Tuesday morning and demanding a scan. I so hope I get one before the new year...
