***June Buds***Come on in. 39 Babies!

If we go by my gym scale I am up 18 pounds and I am only 23 weeks! My only savings grace is I weighed myself at home too and it said I was up only 15 pounds.

I hate to say this, but I'm beating you (oh how I wish I wasn't!!). In the first tri though I gained only about 6 lbs .. but then over these past 3 months I've gained ........ ........ 24lbs .....

oh gosh guys. I have gained 25 pounds or so since prepregnancy.

I'm up there with you MizzDeeDee! I gained a ridiculous amount in about one month too - haha what happened!!?

 

[Britt11]

ahh Rose, you were pretty tiny pre pregnancy right? my friend was only 95 llbs pre-pregnancy and has gained 50 pounds already and still has 2 months to go! The doctors arent worried, they said her body type just really needed it and her BP is fine so now worries on GD.

I think I will be huge by the end!!

I wouldn't say tiny no .. I wasn't fat or anything, but not exactly slim either ... not sure where it's all come from really. I didn't really gain much to start with, and very slowly, and then suddenly all this weight's just come on ... admittedly it's accompanied by my bump/boobs suddenly getting huge, so maybe I just popped suddenly!

 

[claire-lou]

I wouldn't worry as ling as you are eating healthy and in moderate amounts your body will only put on what it needs

 

[Groovychick]

Its probably a combination of little Julian, amniotic fluid and breast size hun!

I've done hardly any proper exercise since getting pregnant so I reckon part of the reason for not too much weight gain is my hard earned muscles (from triathlons) wasting away. Gonna be a long road back!

 

[LadyofRohan]

I wish I could plop my boobs on a scale and weigh them. I went from a pre-pregnancy 34D to a 34G and I swear they make up for at least a third of my weight gain so far (about fifteen pounds!)

I just had to spend a fortune on new bras, and since 34Gs aren't considered 'normal' bras they were expensive. It was about $150 for just two

 

[Sooz]

Glad all was OK with Flynn Anna Hope you feel better soon.

 

[mommyof2peas]

Is it bad that I havent watched how much I've gained? Could be 5 could be 25....LOL I guess Ill have to ask when I go in on monday LOL But I'm pretty sure most of it was in my boobs I was a 36dd pre-pregnancy . I'm in a 38DDD now. not even want to know how big they will get when milk comes in!

 

[Annamumof2]

i'm alright girls just tired and trying to sort brats out for school... there stressing me out atm and i keep heaving in the mornings i think because as soon as i get up i dont eat i go to the loo get dressed then get the brats dressed... but i will have something to eat when i come home from taking them to school

 

[Groovychick]

I haven't been measured for a new bra recently and can definitely feel my current ones getting tighter. Might be time for a visit to the lingerie department . . .

Does anyone know of any good places to buy maternity bras that have a good range of sizes? I have a small back size and large cup size and it's hard to find anywhere that does below a 34.
Re- the weight gain, I haven't weighed myself still.....I'm scared of the scales!

have you tried mothercare?

 

[Doodlepants]

Yeah, I could only find one in my size .... Oh well, I'll just but a couple of those I think! I wish cheapy places like primark did my size! x

 

[Maid Marian]

Doodle - Try 'John Lewis' - I'm not sure if they'll have your size or not, but they do have a very good range, much better than anywhere else I've been, so it's worth a look

It's worth getting fitted in a Bravissimo store as their fitting technique is very accurate (and they specialize in small backs with large cups). I don't know if they stock maternity bras in stores but you can certainly purchase them online...not a cheap option but there never is with decent bras!

I don't find Primark bra's very supportive at all and I'm hardly an unusual size, I find the straps give out after a few weeks.

I got some non-wired support bras from BHS and they were £4 each in the sale, I'm finding they do the job just perfectly at the moment.

 

[Doodlepants]

Oooh £4! I like the sound of that!
I've just looked on the Bravissimo site and have found a couple of good nursing bras on there too, they're just under £30 so I'll have to ask M nicely.....
I'm going to have a look at John Lewis now too

well Flynns just woke up... cheese sandwich woke him i think... which is his favourt... i have no idea why i crave cheese

 

[squeal]

Well I thought I would weigh myself. Pre-pregnancy I was weighing in at around 58kg and I am now 59.7kg so I've hardly put on any weight at all. I'm a little worried as you ladies have put on quite a bit more. Should I be worried at this stage or is it still pretty early?

On the upside I have a good little bump coming along now, in the past week or so it's just ballooned! I love it

I'm very emotional today, my OH has just got on a plane to Sweden and is back Sunday and I can't help but worry about his safety, thinking about him just makes me cry. I'm pretty sure if I wasn't pregnant I wouldn't have cried when he left but every now and then horrible thoughts pop into my mind. I can't wait till he gets back.
