July/August (Summer Sunbeams) 2012!

[Torz]

Hi everyone, hope you are all feeling well & are all passed the dreaded MS now.

I've not been on for ages due to exhaustion & having a 19 month old to run round after, things are starting to feel better & the MS has completley gone now.

Things seem to be going soo fast this time, i cant believe i'm almost at the half way mark already.

We have our 20 week scan on 26th of march, i cant wait but i feel like the only one who's staying

I cant believe how many people are actually pregnant at the moment, it seems every day someone else on my FB announces their pregnancy. The two girls who i was pregnant with the first time & we were all due within a couple of weeks of eachother we are all pregnant at the same time again & all due round a similar time lol. there seems to be a huge baby boom on right now lol.

I'm feeling quite huge right now, i'm defo bigger than last time soo far.

18+3 weeks

funny you should say that, i was wondering- is there a baby boom of late or is it simply my age?

Ive had a feeling i was having a boy from the first scan but its so nice to know for sure.

Apple and Kozmik - congrats on your little blue bundles!

Droplette - congrats on your pink bundle! Exciting times - I have 9 more sleeps to go until I find out.

Torz - good to see you back on here and I hope you are feeling a bit better? My ms seems to have all but gone now. I have the odd episode when I smell something that disagrees or eat too much (!) but the nausea has gone. Thank goodness. Great bump shot by the way - you have a lovely bump!

Puppycat - another great bump shot. I think I have the same jeans as you! I love them so much that I bought a second pair in a dark colour but they don't fit as well - the bit where the button is is just a tad too tight and it digs in and I keep having to push it below my bump.

Lola - I've been thinking about Yoga but I am soooo inflexible! My friend did it and when she gave birth recently the mw said she could tell as she was able to just breathe the baby out! I think I might try aqua-natal or something. I just love water and swimming.

Hope the rest of you are well x

Struth that is so funny about your friend!! an easy birth would definitely make it all worthwhile! aqua aerobics would be great, I swim laps at my local pool and find that is great for a lift anything really that works your muscles and gets the blood pumping! I was surfing and skateboarding before i got pregnant so just doing yoga and swimming is very different for me!

 

[struth]

OOOh - have just found that the pool which is just 5-10 mins away does an aqua-natal class on a Saturday! Will give the lady a call this week and see if I can join. Looking forward to it!

Lola - I feel the same. I used to play a lot of sport until I got pregnant. With the ms I stopped everything as I just couldn't be sure that I wouldn't be sick! So... I'm looking forward to being able to swim and do aqua now that the ms has finally gone away. Can't wait to feel a bit fitter.

 

[puppycat]

Struth i bought these when i was pregnant with Laura but i can't think where from!

When i take them off later i'll check the label - too much effort now! Lol

I could do with a smaller pair tbh, they sag a lot around my lack of ass!

 

[struth]

Puppy - I got mine from New Look online. I think they are on offer at the moment for £10.99 which I thought was a bargain!

So comfy!

 

[jmandrews]

maternity pants do not fit me I am running out of things to wear!

 

[nicola ttc]

I have those too Struth and also thought Puppy had the same pair on.
I agree - So comfy and a bargain! Thought about buying 2 pairs but didn't want to look like i was always wearing the same thing so got the dark ones too and they don't fit as well at all. Feel like i'm constantly pulling them up!

Aquanatal sounds good - and yoga. Have to do something as i'm growing rapidly in all directions! Will have to ask my midwife about local groups.

 

[nicola ttc]

Struth, where in the UK are you?

 

[puppycat]

These are Dorothy Perkins don't remember buying them! Lol

 

[struth]

Very similar to the New Look ones! Perhaps you could try there if you some more?

Nicola, I'm in Leicestershire. I found the aquanatal on the netmums website. My friend told me about it. It is very good for local classes and on. Took me a while to find my way around but there us a special section for antenatal classes and it was in there. Have a look!

maternity pants do not fit me I am running out of things to wear!

I have the same problem, maternity jeans, trousers, anything bottom half wise just do not fit right on me i feel so uncomphy & frustrated with clothing right now

I cant wait for warmer weather, when i was pregnant with my son i wore alot of drawstring linen trousers & shorts, also lots of thai fisherman trousers.

I was due 31st July with my son & i didnt really get a bump untill later on when the weather warmed up.

This time i've got bigger quicker & nothing seems to fit

 

[puppycat]

My biggest problem is footwear. I bought maternity dresses but what to put on my fat puffy feet??
