October Rainbow Babies!!!

[Wilfbown]

Charmer, that's the best news!!! I'm so pleased for you and praying this is your time now. I just jumped out my seat I'm so happy for you. Get lots of rest and take it easy. Please stick with us and keep us updated. When is your Edd?

Meaggers/Emerald, I don't really understand what you are going through but you are in my thoughts. What a roller coaster ride eh! But look how far we've all come. Can't believe I'm 22 weeks tomorrow! Not long til v day for us.

Congrats on all the team bumps. There seems to be more team pink than blue. Still have no name for my little boy! We just can't agree

I had the 2 hour gestational diabetes test on Friday. LO is measuring two weeks ahead around his tummy but they have said he could just be a big baby. My DH was 10lb 12oz and I was over 9lb so they think that may be why!! Well, I'll find out later this week. If it's GD, it'll be lettuce leaves from now on!!

Out of interest, how much weight has everyone gained so far? Pre pregnancy I was 8st 4lbs, now I'm 10st. Half of it is on my though! I've gone from a C cup to a G and I'm squished again!! Got wicked upper back pain.
Well that's my update ladies xxx

Yeh my boobies have grown again this week too? It's not really matching my weight change but this week they've been sore, achey and have swelled a bit. They haven't changed since the start of 2nd tri, when they calmed down and went down a little (post the first trimester breast explosion). Pregnancy is weird.

Charmer - Massive congrats!!! have a happy and healthy 9 months x

My boobs haven't grown much! But I was a DD to begin with so prob wont get much bigger til the end. I've put about a stone on I'm just a flabby stretch marked mess at the moment it's terrible

 

[Meaggers]

Wow! I wish my boobies had grown that much hehehe. I have just gotten a little fuller (so maybe a half a cup size). There's not much room in my bra, but I'm def not exploding out of it either. I've started getting stretch marks too all around my belly button no matter how much lotion/cream I use. I'm not a tiny girl to begin with so the addition of new stretch marks does not make me very happy!

Sorry to hear that .. Glad your scan went well!

Haha I had around a stone of excess weight to lose beforehand so I have a fairly big "bump" even though half of it is just a bit of chub that's gone hard x

 

[lindblum]

Had my scan today, its a girl she's curled up so her knees are touching her nose.

 

[cazi77]

Lindblum I love that pic!

 

[bumpyplease]

Congrats lindblum!

So sorry to hear about your MIL islander.

Anyone notice their tummy looks a bit blotchy? Mine isn't itchy at all just a bit blotchy all over!

 

[Wilfbown]

Yeah bumpy, mine is! What is it? I almost look a bit discoloured in places!
I've got the most horrendous stretch marks on my boobs...they're awful. My boobs are mega itchy as well, I have to keep scratching them.

Congrats Lind on your baby girl!!

Sorry to hear your sad news Islander...hope you're ok.

Anyway, I'm off to get some Zzzzzz. Night all xxx

HOW CUTE!! Welcome to team pink.

LOL she's so curled up she's got a little belly roll going there. Irresistible!!

 

[lindblum]

lol i didn't notice the belly roll til you mentioned it!

 

[Meaggers]

lol i didn't notice the belly roll til you mentioned it!

That is too cute!!!

 

[bumpyplease]

quite on here. how is everybody?

starting to feel kicks more often now, love it so much! and also started buying some cute outfits! This has to be the best thing ever!

 

[Emerald87]

I think my LO is a black belt already. My insides have been minced. I'm dreading how much worse this is going to get or if she'll break the membranes with her legs of steel!!

 

[Katia-xO]

I hardly ever feel my bub going to mention it next Wed at the midwife xx

 

[bumpyplease]

do you have an anterior placenta? apparently you feel much less and later if you do. im sure its nothing to worry about and LO is nice and snuggly in there!

 

[Katia-xO]

Yup I have, I'd felt her loads between 16-20 week though.. Now it's hardly ever!

V day tomorrow, as if it's here! Been such a horrible journey so far, can't believe I'm here x

 

[bumpyplease]

yay! happy v day in anticipation of tomorrow!
