June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Nope I have lost 10lbs last I checked. So my tummy just looks the best it has in ages Hahah. Should make the most of it I think lol

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Rhi- I've no idea whether I've gained or lost weight, I've never been one to weigh myself at all. Although I remember the midwife did at the booking appointment so when I see her next week I might ask to be weighed so I can compare to whatever figure she had written from last time. I've read it's common to have gained about 5lb at this point but I guess it can vary!

Beccy- That's the same with me, I have a few days of having a really round obvious bump and look very pregnant then it will just disappear back down to there being hardly any difference which makes me think it's just bloating. I'm not sure if I'm expecting a bump too soon just because it's my 2nd pregnancy.

 

[Teeny Weeny]

I look fat. I've put on so much weight already. I think I might try and eat healthy, diet almost.

Good luck today Geralyn. Can't wait to hear what bubba is. Xx

I actually haven't had too many gender comments but I think because I've made it well known I'd be just fine to get to reuse my girl stuff one more time and be done. I've had a couple people ask if we will still be done if it's another girl and I just tell them absolutely, I think that would be much easier anyways! It drives me crazy when people up the number of children they plan to have just to try for a certain gender. What happens if you don't get what you want? Are you going to resent that child? Why risk it? I do have a preference but just because it is what would be easier and what I know, I wouldn't continue on having more babies solely to get the gender I want. Idk pet peeve of mine because it just doesn't seem like a reason to bring a child into this world. Rant over!

Squig I'm so glad baby is still doing exactly as it should! Are you starting to feel more relaxed now?

 

[Starlight32]

Tinky, I feel crazy worrying about accidents etc because no one else seems to have these kinds of anxieties, but the fear I'm having is very real. I don't drive, but being a passenger makes me very nervous. We have to travel 40 minutes (one way) for Christmas and the weather is suppose to be rainy; I'm very nervous.

The doctor told me this week that I need to gain more weight. I'm not sure how much I can eat during the day. I feel bloated and indigestion if I eat too much. I've gained about 8-9 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight, but I was underweight when I got pregnant. My stomach is much bigger than it was before, but my clothes are loose so I don't think anyone can tell.

Squig, glad to hear your appointment went well

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Starlight I'm very similar with car journeys. I don't drive but I hate being a passenger if we go on motorways or if the weather is bad, I feel so nervous that I feel sick. I have to sit in the back nowadays, I feel too scared in the front!

 

[GeralynB]

I go for my sono around 3pm

 

[Starlight32]

Tinkerbelle, is it safer to sit in the back? I almost don't want to go to the Christmas festivities because I feel like it's not worth the risk, even though we have never been in an accident.

Geralyn, keep us posted! So exciting!

 

[mommyxofxone]

Mommyofone- if anything ive always felt you get it worse with having boys, I always feel like there's a totally strong bias towards girls for some reason? I know what you mean though, it makes you feel so defensive of your child when people insinuate they are less than pefect.

oh jeez it's way different over here. In our families the boys are the prized ones, because they are the ones that carry on the name. The girls are just extras. My aunt thinks she's better than a lot of people because she had two boys, and her son just had his first boy, and obviously a boy is what matters. it's disgusting.

I think in the us (at least where i am) boys are considered the most important. my sil actually said about her two girls that theyre 'just another grand daughter' and has said on multiple occasions she wishes they were boys. because now she has to try for another- because her husband has said he wants a son to play basketball with. as if girls can't play any sports! OMG! Some days it seems so backwards.

i am the only one in that family that WANTS two girls. they all have them, and i want them! they all want boys! all the comments i get when i'm out, some people don't know i'm pregnant yet, and i bet the comments will start coming out. even when i wasn't pregnant strangers asking me when i'll be trying for a boy since all i have is you know, just a girl. !!!!!!!!!! sorry makes me so angry!




geralyn! good luck at your appt today!!!!

 

[mommyxofxone]

starlight, can you tolerate milkshakes? my friend was told she wasn't gaining enough too and started drinking a few of those a week so she could put on a little. and it is good for calcium so she drank those. id on't think i've gained any weight yet either, but i sure look like i have! all belly.


and don't be afraid of the ride. We visit my family weekly.... they're 45 minutes away. and we have to visit all our family on christmas- so 35 minutes to one home, then another 10 to the other, then 45 back. you'll be alright, just amke sure the belt isn't across your belly.

 

[Teeny Weeny]

I have just had my scan letter through. It's not until the 11th February! That feels like forever away. All of the ladies finding out gender will know by then. I am maybe thinking of a private gender scan in early January. Xx

 

[Starlight32]

mommyxofxone, I've been eating ice cream and drinking whole milk. Hoping this helps me be at a good weight for baby.

I read online the seatbelt should be at the hips, but I'm short so I feel like baby is really close to my hit/pelvic area. I pray the drive goes well this week.

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Mommyofone- I suppose attitudes can vary depending on where you're from, that sounds really annoying!

Starlight- I'm not sure if it's safer statistically to sit in the back, it just makes me feel more at ease not being able to see as much of what's going on, and I have a massive fear of head-ons.

Geralyn- Eeek so exciting! I don't think I've guessed yet, I'm predicting another pink bump

 

[Starlight32]

Anyone not finding out sex? I think I remember Angel said she wasn't? My husband and I aren't sure if we want to or not! I think picking names would be easier if we knew. I think we have our girl name picked, but we don't know for sure about a boy name. My husband's family has a boy naming tradition that we won't follow... not sure if there will be backlash.

 

[Boo44]

Great news squig!

Good luck geralyn X

I'm definitely not tiny! I think I've put on 6lb already. But that's not too bad for me being almost 15 weeks and considering just how much stuff I eat in the first tri! I usually plateau and be ok from now on because I don't have to stuff white bread down my throat every day any more. I've had porridge for breakfast all week which is an accomplishment and I feel like I'm starting to get more of me back...

 

[gaiagirl]

Ladies you move so fast I find it soooo hard to keep up!

I get so annoyed by comments about wanting a girl too. So defensive, even though I kind of want a girl. Still irritates me so much.

I'm definitely showing, it's kind of surprising how early this time. I have gained about 4 lbs so far...not too bad. I'm still 10 lbs lighter than I was at 15 weeks with #1 because I started outo 10 lbs lighter this time.

Just had first puke in WEEKS! I don't feel that ill but the gag reflex is so strong so with a full tummy of coffee and juice and a gag trigger...it just came up

 

[Teeny Weeny]

I hope everything is okay Geralyn. Unless you are in a different time zone to me as its nearly 5.30pm here. Xx

Gaia, boo to the puking. I hope you don't feel too bad now. Xx

 

[Starlight32]

I like its only 1pm in geralyn's time zone; two more hours until 3 if that's the case.

A full stomach makes me want to vomit too. It actually happened a few weeks ago even though I didn't even eat that much! I try to eat small portions now.... My appetite is so much less now.

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Thanks Starlight. Xx

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Starlight we're not going to find out Seems there aren't many team yellow on here?

Booked my 16 week appointment with the midwife for next Wednesday. We're transferring my care over to a different hospital so I'll have the 20-week scan rebooked so won't know what date until then.

Need to go out in a min to do loads of last minute Xmas shopping bits. Just want to get it all over and done with then we can count down the next 3 weeks until we get the keys to our house!
