plus size and pregnant !

[ltrip84]

How is everyone doing? I haven't heard from you guys in a while.

Things are still going okay here. My gender scan is on Friday at 20w3d. My last appointment was 6 1/2 weeks ago so I'm dying for it to be Friday. I'm so excited and hoping that baby cooperates so we can see if it is a he or she and I'm praying that everything looks normal and healthy. I'm kind of nervous!

Great, thats always an exciting scan...AFM-I am doing ok, my gd test was perfectly normal, I lost half a lb, and the baby dislocated my right rib LOL but not LOL if you know what I mean. I have been so tired lately, but I work a lot, so it's to be expected. I am looking forward to some rest over the holidays, plus I go on mat leave Jan/24/14 so not too much longer.

Wow! That can happen (with the rib?)?!?! That's crazy! Im glad your gd test came back okay. Not too much longer till you're off work. That will be nice!

Hellooooo ladies!

I haven't been posting much lately as I'm in a funk with the GD. Trying to keep my sugars under control isn't going all that well and I'm just super frustrated by the entire process.

Glad everyone is doing well though! I can't imagine you not hearing by now if you didn't pass the GTT Donna. Hopefully all is well!

Hi, ladies!

Sorry to hear about the issues with GD whitesox. I just took my GTT today. Hoping to hear back tomorrow or Monday.

Tryn- sorry about the rib! OUCH.

As for me... things are going pretty well. Starting to get achy and I have some major heartburn. Overall, not too bad. Feeling bubs quite a bit! DH finally felt him for the first time yesterday!! It was neat.

A progress shot I took last week:

And I am finally looking pregnant from the front:

(Excuse the mess in my bathroom! Haha)

 

[ltrip84]

Looking great!

 

[lovelymiss]

ltrip!! Excited for tomorrow!? You'll have to come update us!

Do you feel like you're having a certain gender?

 

[ltrip84]

Oh, I can't wait! I think it might be a boy just from logic (OH only has a brother, bd'd close to ovulation, etc.) but I have no gut feeling either way. Ill be sure to update u guys!

 

[Whitesoxfan41]

Good luck with your scan Itrip!!

Great bump lovelymiss!

 

[ltrip84]

It's a boy! I posted some pics in my journal if anyone wants to see.

 

[Whitesoxfan41]

Congratulations!!

 

[Mangoes]

I was 215 pre pregnancy, I'm down to 202 more than likely because I eat way less than I use to and I had started a new job when I became pregnant.

 

[tryn4]

Thanks guys...yea apparently it can happen! LOL pain has eased now, either its going back on its own or I am used to the rib outta place...
Congrats Ltrip!!!! My sons are so special to me!!! Exciting!

Looking good Lovelymiss, bump looks great!
Hey mangoes...welcome!

 

[lovelymiss]

It's a boy! I posted some pics in my journal if anyone wants to see.

I swear a posted a congrats! I am so sorry I must have not pressed submit or something.

Anyway, Happy New Years, ladies! Hope everyone is doing well!!

My pregnancy is going well! Screened out of the GTT. Blood pressure has been great, even dropped a bit to 110/70. Gained nothing new over the holidays... still around 7lbs of pregnancy gain. I'd say if I wasn't pregnant, I'd probably be losing. Hopefully after baby is born I'll actually get under my pre-pregnancy weight right away. Gonna work hard to lose weight after baby is born. I can't wait to be under 200lb again... but that's going to take quite some time.

 

[Whitesoxfan41]

Sounds like things are going great!!! I'm hoping to get below 200 after baby as well. Congrats on passing the GTT and your BP being so low!

Finally got something to show for all the sickness! Feeling more beautiful every day as I see my body changing... These were taken this morning by my lovely OH, one day shy of 18 weeks
When I sat down after we took the photos I felt a big kick, think baby likes the attention
I have lost 4kg so far, gone from 113 at booking appointment to 109 which reminds me that my changing stomach is baby and not putting on weight. Just losing from the sickness I think, not trying.

What do you think ladies, that's my baby isn't it?

 

[Mummafrog]

Sorry, I have no idea why the pictures are sideways!

 

[lovelymiss]

You look great! It's definitely baby.

 

[donnarobinson]

Hope ur all ok girls. 32 weeks here! gtt was fine ! Had midwife today. Slightly low iron , and slightly low blood pressure, he's head down 4 now lol. And I'm measuring 34 weeks so 2 weeks ahead again.
I don't no how much I've gained I haven't weighed myself I don't feel like I've gained much tho but could be wishfull thinking lol x
