I LOVE a lot of the names in the WOT books, but they are so "out there" and i'm not giving my kids middles names so i can't use them I did however name my wonderful cat after the smoke monster in Lost. He is called "Smokey"

I have to agree that Brandon Sanderson has done wonderful things with the books, and its nice that there wasnt a 5 page description of Elayne having a bath.

Lisa - Lovely scan pic hun! Sorry you're spotting hun

My hips are KILLING me since i got back from my little trip to the park, I'm now almost certain I will need physio And with my aim being get out of the flat at least once a day i don't know how i'm going to manage with this pain.
Monday is going to be awful, the hospital is over a mile away and we have to walk there and back!! It'll be worth it though to see my little flump

Posting this here as well girls I posted it in big girls support but not answering and im impatient.

Hey ladies I have a quick question. I am a US size 18 and I honestly don't feel like ive got a bump and I really don't feel my uterus.. I am so paranoid that maybe my bubs stopped growin.. I have my first ob firday. I just thought I would show earlier this being my second. Even with my tummy being fluffy. I think the only time ive been super excited is a few days ago when I took an intellegender test and it predicts a boy. Sorry to ramble just wondering if I have cause to worry.

just to put u at ease, i was huge on my first n showed quickly, on my second i didnt look rpegnant at all, got to full term and if it wenr for the waddle u wouldnt know i was expecting, i hated it , third i had hyperemesis and lost over 3 stone in 1st/second tri and didnt look pregnant till 19 weeks wen it popped form no where, and this time ive felt bloat for 2 weeks but been showing for 2-3 days now. dont worry too much, im sure baby is growing just fine x

I haven't got any bump either USAF_WIFE, and my tummy isn't even hard yet, we still have plenty of time. Only give away I'm pregnant at the moment is the MS, tiredness and footballs that have replaced by little boobs. xx

Im so excited but nervous about my scan too. Im stressing abit cos Im going to lose a weeks pay due to being off this week but I know its fine. I never spend that much anyway tbh. Im so sleepy today but cant sleep when OH isnt here

cheree - the pern series is by Anne McCaffrey... I love all her books... if you like sci-fi/fantasy you will probably like at least one of her series (my husband loves the ship series)

 

[Wiggler]

My OH just called disgusting and a minger because tomorrow I am going to make myself a HUGE Marmite, cheese and baked beans sandwich! I can't wait for that! Om nom nom

Hmm, I think my revenge for his unkind words will be me stealing the bedcovers tonight!!

 

[pinkclaire]

Well done on getting out wiggler!

I lost all my baby weight through breastfeeding, before I had James I was a fitness freak and I was so depressed about how I looked whilst pregnant it ruined it all for me. Looking back I wish I had enjoyed it a bit more as actually the baby weight wasn't so bad to shift in the end!

Mummy- No it didn't make me feel crazy. the over the counter ones did, theres so much crap in the stuff you can buy at the store. I think coffee was stronger than the diet pills.

Lucky- Ya, i'm putting a lot of hopes on breast feeding haha... so crossing fingers and toes for that one.

I am 9 weeks today and I think i look farther along that I am, I am not bloated really, I have gained 3 lb. but its all in my "bump" area. here is a pic of before and after.. the first one isn't of me from the side but you can tell my stomach was FLAT and the 2nd was from this morning.

 

[USAF_WIFE]

Thank you ladies for putting my mind at ease! I go tomorrow and I really hope to hear my bubs heart. I just want today over!

 

[luckyme225]

hopeful- you have such a cute little bump! I haven't taken a bump picture in a few weeks, so I might take one tomorrow.


I'm struggling on whether to tell people or not next week. We are having all our friends over for a Halloween party and I'm sure the first place they will look once they see I'm not drinking is my stomach. Even if they didn't at our last social gathering my friend was pregnant and we were just trying to play off she was sick (she was waiting to tell all of their family first) and she didn't have a bump or anything but everyone assumed she was pregnant. I will be 10 1/2 weeks by the party. I've been feeling pretty confident about this pregnancy but I know things happen. Maybe if I lose the baby so far into the pregnancy I would need support from everyone but at the same time telling everyone you lost your baby is not something that comes easy. So conflicted as to what to do. Last time around I told the world by 7 weeks lol.

Lucky, that's how people are figuring me out, they have noticed at lunch or dinner I am not drinking wine and wont shut up about it. I've told some friends but lied to others and said i was on antibiotics.
I understand your reservations on telling people, but I am about to burst and want to tell everyone so I might next week as well.
How long were you thinking of waiting if you didn't tell them now?

 

[hopefulmama]

Also I really feel like I look like a whale, my upper body, my legs, my arms, my face everything is normal but that lower region.. isn't that what people look like when they are like 3 months and up? i mean maybe it was the shake and chili cheese dog from yesterday, but its hard not soft.

 

[lisaf]

I just told everyone at work and online, lol... one girl dropped her eyes to my tummy and I wanted to say... 'nope, just fat right now, not showing!'

 

[hopefulmama]

aww congrats lisa!!!

I was thinking of waiting until my 11 week appointment, figured the midwife could hear the heart beat on the doppler by then. I just don't think I will be able to make it two more weeks with seeing everyone next weekend. Plus I am so ready to just scream, I'm tired, I'm sick, then hungry, I'm emotional.... I'M PREGNANT. I just haven't been myself since week 5. Hoping week 14 I will start to get some of me back. Do you have a smaller torso? That might be a reason you are starting to show. I feel like the shorter you are, the sooner you might show because there is less room.

lisa- don't you love how that's the first place people look when you say your pregnant haha. Did you figure out which facebook thing you wanted to use or did you just spit it out?

 

[hopefulmama]

Ya lucky, I am 5'2.. super petite, but my legs aren't that short... people have always told me i don't "look like a short person." I guess my only example would be when you look at picutres of kim or kourtney kardashion or see them on tv they don't look like they're short, but in real life they are barely 5'0.. I am not talking about the ginormous sister who looks nothing like the other two.
If you look at the pic i put up of me in red dress, you can see i don't have big hips or anything just petite. now my hips are about 2 inches bigger(yes i have been measuring myself) and my lower abdomen is like 3 inches bigger, but my proper waist line is still exact same.

If you are truly confident about this pregnancy I would say go for it and scream it from the roof.
I know it sucks to feel like something else is controlling everything in your body and you've been invaded. I have never been so moody, and today i just got so sad and alone it turned to anger and i lost it and started crying and couldnt stop for almost 2 hours.
What does your husband want to do?

 

[hopefulmama]

Just realized we are one day apart.

 

[luckyme225]

I think you'll probably end up being one of those girls who get a perfect basketball bump. My girlfriend is petite and she gained only in her belly and got this cute round belly, I was so jealous!

My husband is down for whatever. He said do whatever makes me happy. I think I'll announce it next Friday. I'm sure it will feel like such a relief. Sorry your having a hard day When does your husband get back into town? Or are you going to visit him soon? Hope you have some good support from friends to help you through the craziness of first tri.

We are only one day apart!! Guess we might go in to labor around the same time!

 

[lisaf]

lisa- Did you figure out which facebook thing you wanted to use or did you just spit it out?

I chose to use 'is barefoot and...' ... it was cute and just a teensy bit vague... first friend said "pregnant? in the kitchen? both?"

Then of course DH chimes in with 'who's the father'... I mean we normally joke like that but GEEZ!!!

 

[hopefulmama]

Lucky, ya thank god I see him this thursday I'm so thrilled. I'm flying to miami Wed. and he arrives thursday so super super happy, and we are going to tell his family etc while there.
All of my best friends don't live in NYC or the one's that do are traveling in Europe currently so i am sort of a loner here besides my daily talk with my doorman, my cleaning lady who comes every other day, and my lunches/dinners with my friends but not the ones i have told. I basically have become besties with my doorman and cleaning lady, any chance i get to talk to someone i don't shut up. I've honestly never felt this lonely or bored.
My husband isn't the most amazing support system either, he doesn't really "get it" and doesn't treat me any differently being pregnant, which really upsets me. I understand he's very busy and stressed out, but out of anyone I want to be there for me even if they can't be physically, obviously it's him. My friends that have kids told me that their husbands were the same and nonchalant about the whole thing till like they knew the sex cause that's when it felt real to them. I don't know, it's just really hard.
