November 2013 Babies!

Luna, my Doc told me to take out the belly ring soon before it gets stuck

That's weird, do you have a bendy one? My Dr hasn't mentioned it but it isn't irritated anymore since I switched and I can just buy a longer piece for the shaft part that the beads screw onto if needed.

 

[mama.luv]

I have the one that bends too and it's not bothering me at all. I guess I will take it out once it start feeling tight and irritated.

Aww...talk about piercings. I miss mine. Wasn't a belly. I had my nose pierced and my tongue. Didn't really like the tongue but I liked my nose piercing. Had a ring and sometimes switched to studs. But being in nursing, I had to remove it :/

Today, I ordered 16 underwears online. I can not fit in a lot of my current ones. I think I gut a good deal? 16 for 50 bucks? Dunno...anyone of you had to buy new undies or bras? I need more yoga bras too. They're comfy and I see myself wearing it for nursing later on.

 

[luna_19]

I desperately need some new panties, my butt has definitely gotten wider

I bought new bras at 6 weeks and now I'm wearing them with a strap extender, I hope that can last until I need to get nursing ones

 

[mama.luv]

I bought a bra the other day for $6 at TJ Maxx and it's fitting just fine. I wear sports bras a lot but I need regular bras for work. The bra I bought from Motherhood Maternity for $10 already has the wire poking up the side. Now for the undies, I wear boy shorts around the house and they still fit. I'm more of a thong girl and I still have like 6 pairs that still fit. If I need anymore, I will just go to TJ Maxx or Marshalls to buy some larger ones from their clearance rack. They are usually like $1-$3 a pair, cute name brand ones too. I'm very cheap as you can see

I can't seem to wear thongs anymore being pregnant. It's just....it feels like the first time ever wearing it, all in between my crack and feels like my butt is gonna eat it away. Plus....sorry, tmi...but it blocks My farts from coming out. And having trapped gas makes me grumpy. Lol

 

[mama.luv]

Lol, I have no problem passing gas. A lot of women choose not to wear thongs while pregnant because it can me uncomfortable, but they don't feel any different to me.

I am having such trouble finding cute boys clothes in the UK. They are all pretty boring! what are the boys clothes like in the US? Any cute ones?

I've started getting stretch marks!!!! With my DD I didn't get any on my belly until about 30 weeks. But some new ones appeared last week! So gutted as with 17 weeks to go I'm sure I'm going to be covered!!!

Your bump pics are all so cute!!! I am do jealous of you ladies who are all bump! I've just gotten big all the way around. Lol!

There are a few cute things out there. I'll post pics when I start filling out my outfit wardrobe for him. I have everything else right now. I always thought some of the clothes I've seen posted from UK ladies are adorable.

 

[whittnie117]

Mama. Yes they do clearance. On the layaway I got a pack and play that was originally 198, clearanced to 89, and had a 25% off sticker on it. My mom and I couldn't pass that up and now that I have it, it's great looking. I think you only can't put clothes or things that can expire on layaway.

want. I have to hold myself too. I feel so silly sometimes with the changes I have had to make with some things. And if I could stand to shave my legs every day, I'd wear dresses too. It's just hard with my preexisting conditions and then my baby belly added to it, lol.

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

Great bump pics everyone! I LOVE seeing them and how we're all so different

Nariah- CONGRATS on your boy

Cute bump Alchemist. You are all bump too.

Whitt, I didn't know Babies R Us had layaway. That sure is good to know. Can you put clearance items on layaway too? Now for the stomach stretching and soreness, I feel stretching when I walk a lot. Like today I was in the mall for hours and I felt some stretching and a side cramp that I would usually get when I jogged. I got kind of nervous since I'm a worry wart.

Luna, my Doc told me to take out the belly ring soon before it gets stuck

I felt like that last week, but Ive noticed when I get achy I usually have a bump growth spurt, lol. My doctor told me a little stretching pain is normal, so Im trying to to worry about it

I've been super busy so ill have to catch up on reading but here's my bump 22+5. I'm going to need some new tank tops lol
I've also given up the notion that ill be a "cute" pregnant lady. Im just getting fatter by the day lol. So I'm working on embracing how I look not wishing for something different.

Are you kidding me?!?!? You are adorable! You have a great bump and should be proud of your bod! I love your hair by the way...it's so long and pretty. I look shitty in long hair and always envy people that have nice long hair

Thanks thats sweet of you. My hair is one of the ONLY things thats changed for the better while being pregnant, usually its curly, but its growing like crazy and I can blow dry it straight....usually I dont, but I was feeling pretty good yesterday, lol

Sounds like you got a pretty good deal. Ive gotten 2 new bras and a few pairs of new undies....but i need more. I dont know why, but getting new undies never occurred to me....then one day I was like....these are kind of snug Ill just add it to the list with new tanks.

Im kind of glad to be back at work, having family (OH's) in is stressful for me. I come from a small family and his is huge, so theyre always visiting and calling and Im just not used to it, its draining, so the routine of work is nice.

Does anyone else have this...I noticed Im getting tired more easily. Not crazy tired, but like....OH and I went out for lunch, to the grocery store and then a few places looking at books and random stuff. We were out for like 4 or 5 hours total....and I was EXHAUSTED barely had the energy to make dinner. Im just wondering if its me or just a normal part of being pregnant....aside from 1st tri, Ive only noticed it the past week or so. Anyone else?

Alchemist: you are hilarious. I hate thongs. I could never get use to the fabric in the crack thing. I wear them when I have to. I bought new undies and need some more. 16 for 50$ is a great deal! Where did you get them? I've had to buy 2 new bras around 8 weeks or so and I'm already busting out of them but I'm trying to hold off because I don't want to spend the money. I'm cheap too

I haven't really looked at clothes for the baby yet. I've gotten some hand me downs and 2 outfits from my mom and in laws. They are cute but not like girl cute. I don't really care about that anyway. I think they chill in onesies for the first 6 months anyway. My mom is going to make him a winter snow suit like thing.ill probably sew some stuff too. It will take a lot less time then adult size clothes. I just need to get my machine tuned up soon.

 

[wantb502]

Rockin: I get that way too. I've been exhausted since I conceived but its to
The point where I need to put my feet up and chill and go to bed at like 11 at the latest. I cleaned the house yesterday and needed to chill every 1 hour. I did some serious cleaning though.

 

[The Alchemist]

Want - I ordered mine off of eundies.com and they only sell undies unfortunately. prices range from 1.99 to 3.99, didn't see anything higher than that. They had a deal 7 for 24.99, so I got that and then I ordered more and applied a coupon code to take 25% off and then free shopping over 50.

Bernie - I had stretchmarks the first time. I'm hoping I don't get new ones but genetically, I'm probably f***d anyway. But I've been applying bio oil now.

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

Ok ladies, quick question: I can feel my little guy from the inside pretty consistently now, but havent been able to feel him from the outside yet. Im hoping its just because Ive got some extra baggage.
Have any of you guys felt anything on the outside yet?? When did you (with your firsts) When should I be worried lol

Thanks guys

 

[mama.luv]

I felt my baby one time the other day. Usually when I put my hand on my belly, the baby doesn't kick anymore, but this particular time, the baby kicked one more time so that I can feel it with my hand. Has your baby been balling up yet?

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

Well, yes...I think. I can tell when he's up higher or sitting lower....is that what you mean? And its only been in the past week or so that Ive felt things that I was 100% sure were baby movement. I was pretty sure from about 18 weeks that what I was feeling was baby, but they were twingey feelings. These Im sure of.
Im hoping maybe Im just a bit late feeling stuff

When the baby balls up, you will see a ball on your belly. It's hard to explain but you will see it a lot as your pregnancy progresses. I feel the balling up but I don't see it yet. The only reason how I know what it is, is because my son balled up all of the time during my 1st pregnancy.

 

[luna_19]

I've felt a few from the outside but I think it's really hard at this stage because baby is always in a different spot and many of the movements aren't strong enough to feel from the outside anyways.

 

[therealdalia]

I haven't bought squat for the baby either. Our house will go under construction soon so I want to wait a bit since we'll have to do so much shuffling. I hope everything gets done in time.
