[medic9114fun]

Doing okay here. Feeling LARGE, that's for sure. LOL! Still nauseated, wicked heartburn and allergies from hell but otherwise okay. I had the materni21 and we're having a girl. Ultrasound Oct 1st. That's about it here. . .

I wanted that yes but it isn't offered here yet similar one cost 1500$

Been awhile since i saw this thread pop up. I went to my first appointment the other day. I had been so worried about someone saying something negative about my weight. No one said a thing and they were all so nice. The only problem i had was apparently I have a long uterus so she couldn't see everything she wanted on the internal ultrasound so she did an external. She had to push so hard to get a clear picture. It finally stopped hurting today. That was at 9+6 and my next will be at 11+6. Can I expect it to hurt less then since baby will be bigger out will it be just as bad? It's worth it though getting to see our little peanut.

My insurance paid for it because I'm 42.

PandaMao: I'm sorry you had that experience with the ultrasound. I have only had one and it was at 9 weeks and it wasn't uncomfortable. Hugs! Glad your appointment went well otherwise.

Medic- your ticker is driving me nuts. What's wrong with the percentage? You're over 18 weeks, so you're definitely over 26% "complete!" LOL. At first I thought I was going crazy!

Anyway, not much going on with me other than frustration of trying to find plus size maternity clothes. There's plenty for up to a size 18. Enough for up to size 20. But I'm a 22/24, so I'm very limited. Thank goodness I found a few things, but I had to pay a pretty penny!

Baby is growing fine. We find out the gender on October 4th.

Lovelymiss: I never noticed that with the One ticker. But ya that's not right at all. Very odd. Hmm not sure how to fix it


I'm having coat problems too. So far I've been stealing hubby's coats butni can't find anything in my style I like at all that fits

 

[medic9114fun]

Yes! Fixed t least one thing today. Got my ticker fixed. Hopefully it stays working.

Check JC Penney online, i know they sell the Duo line and that goes to 4x even i believe...which when i was wearing size 24 pants the 3x jeans i have were big on me (yeah i tried them out on a "feeling fat" day when i wasnt preggers lol)...also i think Old Navy sells plus maternity, and definitely Motherhood/Destination Maternity..I tend to scour the thrift stores, i picked up a pair of Motherhood cargo style capris the other day for 1.99...I was so excited!

Thanks! JCPenny's is very limited now a days. Nothing when I checked. Old Navy is too small. Motherhood is where I ended up, but it's EXPENSIVE. Blaah. I tried some thrift shops, but no luck yet. Oh well. I have a few dresses/skirts that stretch. I have a pair of black and a pair fo grey maternity leggins. A pair of maternity flare jeans and a pair of maternity skinny jeans. A pair of maternity yoga pants. A pair of maternity business pants. 3 quarter-sleeve maternity tops and a handful of flowy tops in big sizes. I'm all set other than a coat. I got the flare jeans, yoga pants and 3 tops off Craigslist for $20!! SCORE. I spent about $120 on the skinny jeans, leggings and business pants at Motherhood. UGHHHHH. I guess it balances out, though! The skirts, dresses and flowy tops were mostly things I already had or got to grow with me through the bloat to bump stage haha. I think the most I spent on a single item before going to Motherhood was a $25 dress I'd been eyeing for WEEKS. I am a bargain shopper for sure.

If you havent already, sign up for emails from Motherhood, they sent me one a day or two ago for 20% off an online purchase..and before that one for 15.00 off a 75.00...so it helps a little

Miss-sorry to hear you have these issues..old navy in Canada is huge, I can still wear an xl or xxl, haven't bought plus yet...I am a 20/22. I don't ever buy maternity I just go up a size. Lots of clothes have stretch. I shop at forever 21, old navy, torrid (only online not here in Canada) on ebay and Dr.Jays. Pregnant or not I love getting great deals on clothes, that look cute. That being said I dress urban casual, so its easier to find stuff.

 

[lovelymiss]

Shirts aren't a problem. I can do 2x. Pants are harder. Plus I need business casual. Pants only stretch so far before you need maternity. Skirts and dresses are fine.

 

[tryn4]

gotcha....well best of luck! I am so grateful my office is casual...the execs are business, but in my dept, we can dress down to a point. Suits me great cuz I cant stand restrictive clothes...I literally think I have a serious pet peeve in regards to that.

 

[lovelymiss]

LOL! I agree. I'd wear yoga pants every day if I could. I try to stick to leggings and a nice, stretchy cotton skirt when I can. If I have court or a big meeting I need to wear business pants. Booo. I do have some cute skinny stretch pants. They're turquoise! I pair them with a nice business top and I'm good to go. I'm the youngest person in my agency. It certainly shows. But I get complimented quite often on my fashion. And I don't spend much at all! I stick to $5-10 for tops and $7-15 for pants.

I think I have enough to get me through pregnancy. We'll see.

 

[Whitesoxfan41]

This makes me feel very fortunate to stay home in my yoga pants every day. I have to dress up to go in public a couple times a week so I can get by with much less.

[tryn4]

[rhiannon240]

My ultrasound is on the 1st! Can't wait to see my baby

 

[lovelymiss]

You ladies are so close!

Had my 12 week ultrasound on September 4th. Everything looked great. I get my early gender scan on October 4th... can't wait! Then my big anomaly scan on October 22nd. I feel bloated, but don't have a distinctive bump really. Hopefully soon! Can't wait to feel baby move!!

 

[medic9114fun]

Currently sitting in the dr office waiting for apt and when I got weighed I had lost 5 pounds from last visit. Personally ill take it but last visit there was a 6 pound difference from y scale to the one here. This time I had a different scale here at the office in my little waiting room. Either way ill take it at 205 and 29 weeks

 

[Whitesoxfan41]

That's fantastic! I'm always scared to get weighed. I go in a week and a half for my ultrasound and it's at the office so they'll do the weight and count it as my regular appointment. Shudder to think how much I've gained in 5 weeks. LOL
