That's great! Yesterday is the first day people REALLY said much about my bump. One stranger said I looked pregnant in the face, but I'm not sure what that means? lol. No strangers have commented on my bump yet. Glad you're starting to show!! It's so exciting.

 

[bubblz82]

I friend of a friend can tell if someone is pregnant by their nose lol. But my nose little bigger. I did read somewhere about why. I think I will find it weird when people start touching me lol

Hi ladies how ya all feeling???

 

[Mummafrog]

Hellooo ladies, excuse my absense, we've been moving house to the place where the three of us are going to live
Welcome to the newcomers and gorgeous bumps all round
In all this madness we also had our 20 week scan! Everything appeared healthy, all the boxes ticked, the only problem was baby wouldn't shift out of my pelvis so she couldn't scan the lower half of baby's spine, we'll be going back for a repeat next week.
Found out we're having a little girl though, absolutely thrilled I love her sooo much. I'll upload the pictures of her and my bump tonight.

All round!

Great news Mummafrog! Congrats on a little girl. I had to go back to find little bubba's heart because he wouldn't show us during the first scan.

Great bumps, ladies!!

Welcome, Jess!

As for me, dealing with some back pain. I am sure some of it is weight related, but a lot of it is baby, too. Trying to schedule an adjustment with the chiropractor because I am having a lot of trouble sleeping. I'm pretty darn miserable. Shower is this weekend, though, so looking forward to that!!

 

[Mummafrog]

Aww you poor thing lovelymiss! So sorry to hear about your back pain, it might be that weight doesn't help but almost every pregnant lady gets back pain at one point or another I really hope the chiropractor can help X

 

[Jess812]

Thanks Cant wait to grow bigger! x

 

[Whitesoxfan41]

Congrats mummafrog! Little girls are lovely. (Not that I'm biased or anything! LOL)

I'm sorry about your back pain lovelymiss!

 

[Mummafrog]

Right, here are the latest pics ladies, first is of my 20 week bump, taken just before the scan! The others are of my baby girl, a few days ago

 

[bubblz82]

20 week scan on Monday. Want to know the sex but want a surprise. I know I will crumble near the time and find out. What to do????

 

[MommyCandice]

I think we will be finding out but my mom is trying to convince us not to. Im only coming up 7 weeks tomorrow so have lots of time yet to decide

 

[lovelymiss]

Mummafrog- you and baby look great!!

bubblz- I'm no help because I'd go crazy not knowing!! I have a friend due in June and she is not finding out. I have no idea how she can be so patient lol. But I do know if you want the surprise, it's worth it so stay strong!!

 

[bubblz82]

I have to weigh up the pros and cons.

Pro: I can buy the right colour and have room sorted. Start bonding with the baby due to knowing the sex.

Cons: have that lovely surprise at the end of a painful and tired day. Definitely stop me buying more ss I have so much. The excitement of the unknown.

What to do? That is the question.

Hello, ladies. I am brand new to this community but I wanted to say hello. I am 15 weeks pregnant and due in July.

Pre-pregnancy I weighed 305 lbs (21 stone 9 lbs, if I'm doing the math right) and I'm very nervous about being pregnant at this weight. I also wear a US size 26W and finding maternity clothes is going to be very difficult for me. I have high blood pressure but it's very well-controlled and otherwise I am very healthy.

We will find out if our baby is a boy or a girl on February 13.

I'm glad to find this community. Maybe soon I will feel confident enough to take a belly photo.

Do take pictures. I will once I start to show more. My wee one hiding under all the fat lol

Bubblz, the way I see it any time you find out is a surprise. If you do decide to find out before the birth you'll still have a surprise then too: finding out what baby looks like! I think it's worth it to find out early to prepare better and bond.

AngelDaae, welcome. I haven't taken any belly photos either. I have the dreaded B shape belly and even though I'm much larger than I was pre pregnancy I still don't really look pregnant. I'm working on it though. I weighed 260 pre pregnancy size 24 and it is a bit difficult finding maternity clothes. You can get away with quite a few things non maternity like empire waisted tops, anything flowy, and stretchy pants.

So, I haven't checked in here in awhile, but it's good see everyone doing well. Things are just moving right along. I passed my GTT test and so far everything is good health wise. I was really worried I was going to get gd so really happy to dodge that bullet. Work is getting hard though. I work on my feet all day and it's been getting a little much. Just reduced my hours from 40 a week to 32. Does anyone else feel like their stomach muscles are tearing apart? It hurts so bad by the end of the day and I think it's from overdoing it at work and lifting too much. Going to mention it at my next appointment.
