25 week Bump

 

[The Alchemist]

Missjenn - nice bump and you look cute. You're always so stylish in your bump pics. My pics are lazy bum kinda lol

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

Everyone looks so great!!! I love the naked bumps, keep em coming

Dr appt went well enough. She said shes not concerned about the weight gain as Im eating healthy, exercising regularly and everything is measuring great. I do my glucose test next appt (in 4 weeks) so hopefully that goes well. Ive been doing pretty well with sweets, but tomorrow is my birthday, so Ill probably have some cake. YUM!

 

[missjenn]

Thanks Alchemist!!! Most of mine are taken before work in the morning. You always look great!

Rockinmom, glad to hear your appointment went well! Mine did too and I go for that same test at next appointment. I think after the next appt we start going every two weeks right?

In 5.5 weeks since my last appointment I gained 5 pounds exactly. My pregnancy weight gain to date is 15 pounds.

What was your babies heart beat? Mine was 135 yesterday...goes down a bit every appointment but the doctor said its normal. Just curious what yours was?

 

[berniegroves]

I've gained 17lbs so far, much better than my first pregnancy but not good overall as I was overweight to begin with. Must resist chocolate!!!!

Glad your doctor appointments went well missjenn and rockin. I don't have another one until 5th August.

I always want chocolate and ice cream now! I never did before!

 

[luna_19]

I've gained 18 lbs, I was feeling like that is a lot but it sounds like it's pretty average I guess

I start going every 2 weeks at 28 weeks, so yes Ill have an appt at 28 and then 30, 32 etc. My little guys heart beat was around 155 dr said. Much higher than yours! But Ive read anything between 130 and 160 is normal and if our doctors didnt seem concerned Im not going to I have a very slow resting heart rate and EVERYONE is OHs family has a high one, I bet our baby boy gets his side

Well, I was overweight and have gained WAY more than that. Youre lookin good. I gained 10 lbs last MONTH. lol

Its not a lot. Dont worry. Im trying not to. Pregnancy has thrown my body so out of whack its crazy. It doesnt matter what I eat or how much I exercise or how much water I drink, I just gain a crap ton of weight! Im up 36 lbs since I got pregnant.....I hate it. A lot I feel like a hot air balloon and I feel super unattractive, but Im doing everything right. So Im trying not to worry.

Im going to see if I can find a really close pre-pregnancy picture, so you guys can see me before I looked like an elephant, lol.

 

[The Alchemist]

I don't even know how much I've gained. I gotta buy a scale for the house.

 

[luna_19]

I hate scales but they always weigh me at my doctor's appointments

 

[berniegroves]

Rockin - your pregnancy sounds like my first one! I didn't pig out and exercised 3-5 times a week (jogging, yoga etc) but I gained over 50lbs. A couple of weeks after the baby was born I had lost over 40lbs, so most of it was water. Our bodies are out of our control to a certain extent during pregnancy and will do what they need to.
I'm trying to really control it more this time as I want to have a homebirth and if I gain too much weight they'll class me as high risk. Boo!

I can't believe you ladies get seen every 2 weeks from 28 weeks. Jealous.com!!
I've seen my midwife 3 times so far and will see her another 4 times before my due date.
I'm always worried about the babies movements, I think I can be so busy and distracted during the day that I don't always notice them. Then I freak myself out! Lol! Then I have to use the Doppler once DH gets home to check the heartbeat.

Is it hot where you ladies are? It's sooo hot here (we never get hot weather so this is a serious shock!!) my DD is not a fan of the heat so that's making things tricky.

So how many people have decided on names already?

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

Bernie- that makes me feel A LOT better! I'm glad I'm not the only one!
So here's a picture from about a month before my BFP. I looooong to look like this again lol. I totally didn't appreciate how I looked.

And YES!!!! it was 97 here today. Yuck!

 

[bb1]

ROckin you look great. Im sure a lot of it is just water weight. Especially in the summer and drinking plenty.

I am a big girl to start with and since meds have gotten my BP under control I have lost 22lbs since my BFP. but My belly is still huge. I feel like I did at 32 weeks with my DS.

We have decided to name this little man Jace Edward after my Dad and Grandad as DS was named after DHs father and grandfather.

I keep getting a stitch feeling in my belly when I press it just above my Belly button and never had this with DH. But my Mum (6kids lol) assures me its normal and she had it with her 2nd,3rd etc but not her first.

My hands and feet are only just starting to get puffy which is really good for me. With DS I had to take my rings off at 22 weeks because of swelling.

Boobs have been leaking soo much, especially of a night if DS wakes up crying. Just a trigger I guess.

MiisJen Congrats on your wedding you look fab. And everyones Baby bumps are looking so good as well. Will have to take another pic but I dont think there is much of a difference in mine.

Hope your all doing well. And I am envying your heat. Its soo cold here (Australia) and missing my summer. Although I wont come november lol

 

[The Alchemist]

Rockin - don't worry,, you will! Us pregnant ladies gain a lot of water weight. Thank you, progesterone! Haha...

I've noticed my feet got swollen just slightly. You can't tell by looking. But I know because my feet feels tight in my sandals. Not to mention, since I've had dd, my right foot is slightly bigger than the left. Pregnancy does some funny things to ya.

My boobs grew a little more. I'm a small B girl. Now, as I bend down, I can feel it on my upper tummy, as it gets squished. They never used to do that before. Now I know what it's like to have big boobs lol.

I have to admit one thing though. I'm afraid my boobs will sag after #2. They stayed perky after dd, but I for sure know it will sag after. That's one body image change that I will have to get used to or......fix it and buy new boobs lol. Sigh....I never liked implants. I've always told myself I'd only get it if I need it. I'll see, I guess....how do you ladies feel about this? Or am I the only one making this a big deal?

Well I had an appointment today and all went pretty well. I have apparently at 20 weeks and 5 days have only gained one pound. So my doctor was a bit concerned as I only weighted 155 at the start. So now I am trying to eat more. Its really hard.

 

[mama.luv]

I started off at 154lbs, now I'm 170lbs. I was concerned at first because I wasn't gaining weight, now the pounds are packing on. I also noticed that my fingers are fatter, so I can't wear my wedding ring. Luckily I had a basic Tiffany ring that I never wore, so I just use that as my wedding ring My feet are also fat looking, my left foot is bigger than the other...Grrrr. Just so many changes, I can ramble on and on. And yes my boobs are bigger too, and a lil saggy, but I still think they are sexy @Rockin, I wouldn't worry about the weight gain, it will all come off fast especially if you breastfeed. I know it's hard to stay away from the sweets. I crave them like twice a week. I usually prefer veggies and fruit though. I was eating a whole tomato today and my hubby told me that if I keep eating healthy, our babies will come out so tiny. He said the people that eat a lot are the ones that have the 8lb-9lb healthy babies. So he is trying to fatten me up. Tonight he made smores in the oven for us. Dang him...

Im sure everything will work itself out Keep us posted....and eat those fruits & veggies!!!

BB- you look great!! I was hoping to lose some weight being pregnant, buuuut thats not happening lol. Love the baby name!

On swelling- Ive only just started and its not visible...like Alchemist said, I can tell because shoes are tighter, but I dont wear any rings normally (since when I work out I tend to puff a bit) but my fingers feel the same, I can tell in my wrists and ankles though if im outside for a bit, but its SUPER hot here and Ive been drinking a LOT of water, so Im hoping the dr is right and a lot of its water weight.

Alchemist- my boobs are saggy to begin with, lol. After being so heavy in highschool and then losing so much weight, they just sag. Theyve never been small, pre-pregnancy I was a 36C, and now Im a 40D. So I dont think Id ever get implants, but when I started losing weight a few years ago, I told myself once I was done having kids and happy with the weight Id lost that I would get them lifted if I felt like I needed it.....so, no, youre not the only one. I imagine after this, mine will just get worse too

Wish I could share some birthday cake with you ladies
