July Babies!

Finding a dress is going to be difficult. You guys should split on one and mail it to each other. LOL

im in a wedding too for a friend of mine. I bought the dress a little while ago and have my fingers firmly crossed it will still fit in another two weeks.

Does anyone else feel like their tummy is going to burst? I think my little on has had a big growth spurt in the last few days and my tummy hasn't stretched enough yet.. so sore!!! I don't have stretch marks yet but I have a tonne of broken blood vessels along both sides of my tummy!

i feel exactly like that! for the last couple of weeks i've been super hungry and my bump has grown quite a bit so i think he's been having a bit of a growth spurt in there. my stomach muscles are so, so sore. i feel like i've done a thousand sit-ups and i have to hold my stomach everytime i move. i'm seeing a physio tomorrow so i'll ask if there's anything i can do to help. i'm drenching myself in cocoa butter and bio oil to help my skin because it feels so tight.

Ugh! I absolutly feel like that! Also as the 3rd trimester draws near, my nausea is back mainly when driving but it still sucks!

 

[InVivoVeritas]

My stomach seems to be squashed, so that I eat a little and feel so full! Then, a few hours later, I'm starving again as if I haven't eaten for days.

Mine felt like it was going to burst all day last Monday. I felt as if I was being ripped in two. Woke up Tuesday am and bump was def bigger and pain gone so I reckon it's a growth spurt.
My nausea is back a little but I actually think it's reflux. Isn't pregnancy glamourous???

Ps - 3rd tri today! Eeeeek!!!

At the end of the day, gravity I suppose, my belly feels like it can stretch no more. It is amazing to think we are going to get LOTS bigger. Amazing or slightly devastating I have not yet decided

I am on board with the maxi dresses. I have bought three and I know I will be able to wear all of them the entire third trimester. There are some very nice ones at the bargain stores because they have been "in style" for quite a few years now. I bought one of the more expensive ones for my brother-in-laws wedding from Venus.com and it is huge! Lots of room to expand, yet it will look good after pregnancy as well. It was almost $40, but I have worn it three times already!

Does anyone besides me eat even though they aren't hungry? It isn't boredom eating because I can be running around like crazy or just doing dishes and then I see food and I eat it then I feel like I am going to explode, or I think why did I eat that I am not hungry. grrrrrrr

 

[frisbeemama12]

Peacelikeariv, I would LOVE to get maxi dresses, but I have to either find some that are "petite" because I stand about 62inches tall or hem them hahahaha Ive tried on so many and they are just so big on me! Ill trip over them!
try4girl, I do the same thing hahahaha I had to FORCE myself to just not think about food and walk away!

so i saw the physio yesterday and now know why my stomach is so sore - the muscles have separated and there's a big gap down my middle now. i knew this was a possibility but it still grossed me out

Ouch! So sorry!

 

[Bunnikins]

Oh no Albs that sounds painful! The things we have to go through for babies!

I thought that this happends with all pregnant women to help accomadate baby? or am I wrong. I will be working out hard to get my muscles back after my baby comes

 

[Canada8]

Yes this happens in all pregnancies? This is why you have to wait 6-8wks post baby to start working out abs so the muscles can get closer or else you will have a perminant gap. Before we have babies, we have a soft ligament or something like that that never gets as tight, but we must wait these weeks before working them out

 

[ms.hope]

Oh and i heard the abs seperating is called 'diastasis recti' and I plan to use the Tupler technique as i have head a lot of amazing feedback from other women that have used it.

my physio says it happens in about 50% of pregnancies, more often with big babies and twins. and it's worse for some than others. i knew it was common, i just got grossed out when she showed me how i can now fit two fingers between my abs. less 6 pack, more 2x 3 packs!

like you i'll be working hard to fix them post pregnancy. my gym membership is up in 2 weeks and i've already told them to call me in september and make me join again!

 

[ann89]

Hey ladies I havn't been around much. But wanted to show my 26 week ultrasound photos

 

[peacelikeariv]

My birthday is in August and I told dh I had better be getting a gym membership or tennis lessons to slim back down. Both of my girlfriends that have recently had children are breastfeeding and both look great.

I always wanted to understand just how breast feeding makes us lose weight? because I thought women still had to eat hearty so wouldn't that keep the weight on?
