***May Blossoms Due Dates Join Here**47 Babies Born!***

[24/7]

I've got weird tummy ache 24/7 too, kinda above my belly button, feels abit like a pulled muscle? Could be my ibs playing up too, its not v painful, just a bit uncomfortable sometimes.

Same placem just in alot of pain, atleast its not just me. xx

 

[lisaf]

if you guys are getting that pulled muscle feeling, it might be related to the stretching of the abdominal muscles... I've started getting the lecture about the correct way to get up from lying down while pregnant and we're supposed to start doing that (roll to the side, don't sit straight up).

Apparently with the muscles being pushed forward, you can do some serious damage if you sit up from a lying position.
I think we're still supposed to be technically ok now, but it gets much more fragile later on and if you're getting those pulled muscle feelings, it might be your body telling you those muscles are fragile and to slow it down/do the roll thing?

 

[24/7]

Hmm.... Maybe it could be that then, although I have absolutely no bump, or even any hardness in my stomach yet?! xx

 

[lisaf]

if your clothes are tighter at all then there is some stretching/growth going on.. right?
You don't have to have a nice popped out bump to have your body stretching and growing.

 

[24/7]

Nothing had changed at all, all my clothes, even jeans are exatly the same, very odd, the beanie must be very well hidden, somewhere!! xx

 

[lisaf]

lol lucky!!! My pants will still button but the pressure actually hurts and causees gas cramping if I do that!

 

[24/7]

I'll catch up soon, and probably be the size of a house!! My Mum said she didn't really ever look pregnant with me, her first, so maybe I'll be like that too!! xxx

New I am so so so happy for you!

The scan picture is lovely and such a cutie.

now its time to try and relax a bit

I've already put on 3lbs!! Wondering how much I'll put on by week 20. I think last time I didn't even put on any weight until around 20 weeks. I can still slide my jeans on with them being already zipped and buttoned but I'm wondering how much longer that will last. Some days my stomach seems to bloat out like I've eaten a whole box of pizza.

I think I'm off to buy some new pants and/or one of those belly band things today. My pants that can comfortably fit have shrunk to about 2 pair! I think it's time to replenish!

Congrats on the scans ladies! I can't wait for mine- one week from today

 

[mummy3]

new Im so so so happy for you!!

24/7 I am not much bigger bump wise, although its getting hard, and I get the pulled muscle feeling every few days. Its all over my torso and chest as well, had it each pregnancy

I had a bit more spotting this morning so rang the doc, just waiting for her to get back to me now

I get my huchal scan next monday and of to see the perinatologist at the same time to get a preterm labour plan

My little son (2 1/2 ) is going to his urology appointment on friday, he needs to be catheterised while there and have x rays, he has problems with his growth, and he occasionally pees blood

Glad your scan went well new
I finally got my scan date through it's next Tuesday can't wait, but it's at 4.25 so gotta wait alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll day x

Lucky- ya I have gained 3 lbs, but I feel like its been more water/bloating. I weighed myself today and i was .5 lb less and i am less bloated today and pants are fitting sorta snug but they are doable unless I go to dinner in them and eat a bunch. I wear really skinny jeans so feeling the tight jeans all the way down my leg is annoying to me right now, I bought some Jbrand jeggings(they also make maternity jeans, which are the only cool ones i've seen i'd actually wear when needed) that have a button closure & back pockets so they look like normal not like leggings, so these should last a bit, since they have a bit more stretch to them. If I want to wear slimmer jeans to dinner I have to wear a belt so I can unbutton the top and hide it w/belt. I am still wearing 5 inch heels which also helps hide things by looking taller. I don't think i can go without wearing my shoes, I am a shoe junky.

So this past week I feel SO much better than i did week 6/7, that was the worst ever, dreadful. I've changed my diet a lot compared to the first couple weeks i ate all junk and bad sugars... since I have been eating healthier its helping a lot plus i am drinking a lot of juices, though right now I am craving a frost from Wendys

Stopping in to say hi! I can't keep up with you girls.
I am anxiously awaiting my 12 week scan next Tuesday. Can't wait to tell our families.

 

[luckyme225]

mummy3- hope everything is OK with your son.

hopeful- now I want a frosty, yyyuuummmmyy!! Uh I miss milkshakes/ soft serve ice cream.

 

[lisaf]

omg I want a fast food burger so bad right now! Lol

 

[luckyme225]

I could go for a bigmac or a jumbo jack... mmmm. Or better yet a Red Robin burger with fries,ranch and lots of Red Robin seasoning.

 

[hopefulmama]

lucky, why cant you drink milkshakes or soft serve?

i don't know what red robin is, i'm assuming a fast food.

 

[lisaf]

ack, red robin would be too big.. I can't eat that much at one sitting.
A nice tiny McD's cheeseburger sounds perfect!

 

[luckyme225]

Because risk of listeria I guess. Total summer, I love milkshakes. I'm sure people will have soft serve while pregnant and their baby will be fine but the chances are still there unfortunately.

Red Robin is a restaurant that specializes in burgers but serves all kinds of food. It's delicious!
