Forums New posts
I'm pretty excited I'm starting to feel my lo kick a lot more.. I'm even seeing it from the outside sometimes :)
 
Happy Tuesday March Mommies!! Hope everyone is doing good! :)

I had an ultrasound today at 24w3d and all is well! Baby is measuring a bit on the bigger side, in the 80th percentile. She weighs 1 lb 11 oz. HR was 133 today. I asked if that was low, and the doctor said not at all, but it seemed low to me (?) Hubby felt baby move from the outside last week. I have an anterior placenta, so Im happy he got that chance.

We have hit viability, so Im super super excited :happydance:
 
hey all

WARNING :- going to be a long babbling post.

had midwife appointment yesterday - alls fine with baby.

AFM - im really feeling down and confused right now. feel like i have all these decisions i need to make and i just cant seem to decide.
All the docs and midwifes keep asking how i want to deliver i keep telling them via planned section but im not 100% sure i want that. maybe i do want to try a natural delivery but then the thought of it scares me too death and i think the csec maybe an easier choice. but then im also worrying about if the spinal dont work and i feel everything there doing. last csec i was knocked out for.
i think ive finally come to a decsion on how i wanna feed baby and im going to FF from the start as i just dont think i can go through the whole breastfeeding thing again.

wish someone would just say look this is what the plan is and thats what were doing. my midwife yesterday said i can change my mind right up until i go into labour but i need to decide mentally what im going to do.
i wish id thought properly about this yesterday when i saw my midwife so i could have spoken to her about this. :( dont see her now for 10 weeks as have hospital appointments between now n then.

anyways sorry for the rant ladies just needed to get it of my chest.

:hugs: I know it seems like a long time to speak to the midwife but you can still decide for yourself in between, write it down and re-write if you change your mind :hugs: Mentally I am going to 'go with the flow', have a plan but not expect it to work out so I don't get stressed out, if it does work - bonus! You know, this giving birth never does seem to go to plan! So please do not get overly stressed about what you want to do. After my first I was put off about having to do it all again, this little surprise baby decided otherwise for us! With my daughter, it went from a pool birth to, hours in a delivery room pushing, to a spinal and forceps with a possible c-sec if that didn't work. Thankfully they did. Just trying to explain, a long way around, that the best thing is to just try and relax no matter what the outcome :flower: :hugs:
 
Hi Anna, sorry you're getting stressed over this giving birth stuff!!

I've always found the best thing to do is to just go with the flow or try to anyway! I think if you have very strong opinions on what you do/don't want then it is a good idea to discuss those with either a midwife or consultant prior to labour, but other than that just take it as it comes.

As the midwife said you have a while yet to decide if you want to definitely have a planned section and even if you did book it in, you are always at liberty to change your mind and go for a natural birth if you want to.
 
Hi ladies.

So i'm kind of not happy right now.
I mean I'm happy but I'm disappointed with my weight gain.

Yesterday was V day for me and I had my 24 week appointment. Baby's HB was at 155, it was of course the most beautiful sound ever. But ladies I gained TEN..... Let me repeat that TEN pounds in 4 weeks!!!!!! Considering I lost weight due too my severe morning sickness but at each appointment I gained only ONE pound, but now i've gained TEN. That's crazy. So now my next appointment is at 3 weeks and then after that I'll have to go in every 2 weeks.

I am planning to stop work in January which would make me 32 weeks ONLY because I'm a flight attendant and our days are so long and I'm on my feet so much that I personally can't deal with it, I'm already hurting now which I now realized it's because of this new weight I have. My back and the lower part of my belly hurts me.

Anyway this is long enough. But i'm going to start eating less junk and doing little work outs like some squats and walking and hope that in 3 weeks at my next appointment I'm not a blimp.

Disclaimer: I don't mind the weight gain, but I'm afraid that it will be harder for me to drop the weight after I have baby girl. Last pregnancy I only lost 20 of the 40lbs I've gained.
 
Id love to hear from other ladies that have had babies before just about their weight gain/loss during and after pregnancy. During and after my first pregnancy i put on a WHOPPING 80lbs!!!! :( now since the 25th july (day i found out i was pregnant) i havent really been making sure i eat ultra healthy or exercise but i do watch what my weights been doing and iv lost 35lbs, i really cant put on any more weight for being quite young,i do see myself a little on the heavy side but nothing like obese :( weights always been a wee prob for me so id love to hear wee secret tips on loosing it after babys here if anyone has any :)
 
Tip for losing weight after = breast feeding!

Iprettii - maybe you're body is just catching up from not putting much on to start with. My friend was told yesterday she hasn't put enough weight on so now has to have more scans etc so putting on weight is important (within reason obviously!)
 
@ Amy_T I couldn't breast feed the first go round, I would pump for hours on end and only get about 3oz of milk. It was the most stressful thing, I would feed her for 45 minutes and when I stop she would scream bloody murder so I ended up giving up after 2 months of trying so lets see what happens with the next baby
 
I'm not sure how much weight I've put on, I've not actually been weighed since my booking in appointment! I prefer it that way to be honest, I didnt even like hearing my weight at that first appointment. A few people have said 'wow you're big considering yore not due until march' but at the moment I take it as a compliment, I love my bump :) I don't feel as though I've put on much weight elsewhere so I'm just going by my clothes - I can still fit in to all my tops from before :) I think once I really start to put on weight though I might get a bit self conscious. I used to be very self conscious of my weight, which is why I don't weigh myself now as it gets me down. The way I see it, as long as you can walk quickly and walk up the stairs etc without too much trouble and eat a balanced diet, that's healthy enough for me!!
 
Good luck with your scan today Amy!

Afm- I called my ob about my one leg swelling... Because I'm not in pain she's not overly concerned but she's sending me for a vein Doppler tomorrow just to be on the safe side.
