Kezzie - here is the comparison shots at 21/22 weeks, my DD is on the left and the new baby on the right.



22 weeks today for me yay! Can't believe we are all nearly at tri 3!!

No energy burst for me Poppy.

I needs lots of sleep and get tired very easily. Am going to try and start walking a lot more, maybe in my lunch hour and after work too. See if that makes me feel a bit more energised.

 

[Hann12]

I have no bursts of energy either but my DD takes it out of me, not ever getting a lie in is hard!! I need to walk more too, I think getting exercise does help

 

[Babee_Bugs]

hey ladies, sorry i havent been on... been sooooooooo poorly... the kids got the cold/flu bug kicking around over xmas and me and OH got it for over new years lol So thanx kids lol

I did feel like i had lots of energy before i got poorly, cleaning and i became best of friends, now im just bleurghhh at anything lol hoping i dont feel like this for much longer... as i only have 16 weeks untill Layla is due (shes coming out a week early via c-section) Starting to panic slightly now, as i still need alot of things and there is only me who is paying for all her things, OH wont chip in... So im finding it a very hard struggle at the minute... but im sure ill get there

Heres my bump on xmas day!

I'm feeling energetic Poppy, but i'm a housewife so I have the luxury of sleeping in if I need to, so probably makes all the difference, we go for a nice walk every evening together, but I don't exercise apart from that, but I do eat mega healthy, I also have absolutely no sweet tooth right now, which i'm enjoying, breaking me free from the chocolate addiction I had pre pregnancy

 

[jtink28]

hann, i think i'm going to vote boy for you!! looks different from your DD at that stage. who knows, though. i am terrible at this!!

 

[maybesoon]

Hello Ladies!!!! I had a huge burst of energy just before Christmas. I was on a cleaning warpath! Now, I'm exhausted again..... Tomorrow is V-day for me!!! I can't believe it's almost here!!!

Hope everyone has a great day & stays warm.

 

[Sass827]

I want to walk but it's freezing and snowy here. I sleep in a little, but still am pretty low energy. Trying to eat better.
Babee- what's his rationale on not helping you out? That doesn't seem fair!

Here is my bump from yesterday at 23.5 weeks....

If you live in a cold snowy place then surely theres no such thing as too cold and snowy I was out walking on christmas day and we had -25c/-13f with thick snow

 

[jtink28]

holy cow, ladies, just had to control my temper at work.

i was heating up my lunch in the microwave when a co-worker comes in (a middle aged lady who isn't exactly thin) and says, "you look a lot bigger. did you eat a lot over the christmas holidays?" (mind you, i am not friends with this woman - we simply work at the same large company)
i stood there, with my mouth gaping open in shock. i calmly said, "actually, i haven't gained any weight since my doctor's appointment on december 21st, where he told me that i have gained the perfect amount of weight for being 22 weeks pregnant. i'm sure the BABY is just GROWING."

since when is it okay to comment on anyone's weight, regardless of whether or not they are pregnant? it infuriates me that people think that once a woman becomes pregnant, they have free reign to touch you without permission, say cruel things about your body, tell you disgusting birth horror stories, and warn you that you'll never have time to yourself again.
seriously? i'm pregnant, not mentally incapacitated. mind your own business!

sorry, ladies, i had to rant for a minute! the nerve of her!

 

[Longing2bAMum]

wow jtink, that would have wound me up too, you know what it is with these older women who've worked at the same job for years, they're just jealous of the younger ones, and probably especially since you're pregnant and probably glowing right now, you just probably look so good compared with her, she needed to bring you down to where she is on the confidence ladder, think of that next time and feel sorry for her instead of angry at her

 

[maybesoon]

oh WOW! jtink you handled that a million times better than I would have! I already have a bad enough complex about how big I look, I don't need some nosie person with an overactive mouth to comment on it!!!!

 

[Lady H]

Jtink I get you, everyone seems to think its ok to comment on every item that goes in my mouth. DH today said "you are getting really piggy"! fFS recently I had no appetite and he was worrying I was not eating enough. Weird isn't it that being pregnant means people can bypass the normal social boundaries, commenting in weight, arse size, belly grabbing etc!

 

[maybesoon]

I'm so lucky that everyone around me are all so happy to see me finally gaining some weight!!! They love seeing me eat. It's me that worries too much about my weight gain. I was already worried but then last month when my doc told me not to gain another 9lbs over Christmas like I did Thanksgiving it has had me constantly worried.

 

[Sass827]

I would have been crying my eyes out J. Good job responding so well!

 

[kezziek]

Congratulations VmrsbabcockV!

Sass lovely bump photos i think you are carrying low rather than high but definately all bump you look lovely and slim, i'm well jealous!

Hann I am leaning more boy now I have seen your daughters pic. Could still be wrong of course but they definately do look different xxx

Jtink- how rude of her! I would have probrably assumed she was joking and then not have known what to say. I am getting those sort of comments a lot at work but mostly meant in fun, although it annoys me so much that anyone feels they can comment on your size/shape etc

Sorry to hear you have been feeling poorly Babee when you say 16 weeks that makes it all seem v.close!! i keep thinking its ages away!xxxxx

Still feeling crap back to work today after holidays and found it sooooo hard when i walk for more than a few paces my whole belly feels like one giant stitch- does anyone else get this?

 

[Hann12]

Thanks kezzie, I think seeing the scans I agree with you! Ah well only another 18 ish weeks to wait! Sorry you are in pain, I get the occasional stitch like feeling but to be honest I don't do a lot of walking because its a pain with my DD as she hates being confined to the buggy and just wants to walk but unfortunately she wants to walk in the middle of roads. Makes getting any exercise hard for me!!

Jtink - I think you handled that lady very well, so rude of her!

 

[StefanieC]

Found out today that we're having a little girl

 

[Sass827]

Kezz - I get a horrible stitch after about 20 minutes of walking.
