Tryn, I was just thinking about posting to see if anyone had heard from you! I was wondering what was going on with that LO of yours.

CONGRATS. She is absolutely beautiful. Well done, mama! Sounds like a great labor & delivery. So glad to hear.

Lovely miss how did your urine samples go?

Well it took forever for them to get back to me, but all is normal. Been monitoring BP at home. Been situated right about 120/65, so perfectly normal! I'm not worried at all.

Hi Ladies! Just poppin in to say hi and I hope everyone is doing well!

Here is my 25 week bump

 

[JAJuly2013]

Hello Everyone! Hope all is well!

Had my OB appt yesterday @ 25+1 and everything is great so far.
HB was 140
My weight and BP are perfect - no weight gain yet - wow! I'm shocked
My dr gave me a prescription to get fitted for a belly band since i"ve been having so much low back pain and pressure way down low in my pelvis. I'm so happy about that!
My uterus is measuring between 27-28 cm which is slightly ahead but I know that's normal for subsequent pregnancies.
I get to have another ultrasound in 2 weeks to recheck growth due to my diabetes. Looking forward to that!! Love seeing my baby girl!

I know I posted my 25 week bump yesterday but I thought it would be neat to post the progression from week 19-25.

From left to right:
19 weeks, 22 weeks and 25 weeks

 

[lovelymiss]

Good luck with the belly band! Hope it helps.

Congrats on no weight gain! I am up 17lbs. I've gained 2-3lbs a week for the past few weeks... before that I was averaging 2lbs a month. Kind of sucks, but I am hoping it's water.

Here's my "term" bump @ 37 weeks!

I had a rough weekend. One of my best friends is in the hospital after a really bad accident. Now it's catching up to me and I am so achy. I am ready for this guy to make his appearance! I feel like I'm going to go over though.

 

[Mummafrog]

Awwe your tummies are all so beautiful!

Really pleased for you JAJuly, it's a great feeling when you finish an appointment and everything is perfect isn't it I haven't gained anything yet too, I lost quickly at the beginning and I've stopped losing now, three cheers for us! I'm maintaining but where we are in our pregnancies is where the weight of the pregnancy itself starts to come on, so I think I will start to gain at some point soon, just hoping to not go too far over pre-preg weight. It's funny, so far our pregnancies are almost exactly the same!

So sorry to hear you had a hard weekend lovelymiss that sounds awful! How is your friend doing now? I bet you're achy, it must be hard at the end Love your term bump though! I'm sure a lot of that weight is baby growing and after the birth you probably won't be that far over the weight you started, try not to worry about it, I'm sure it will happen to me towards the end too.

As for me I've got my next midwife appointment next week. Then a growth scan and my GTT in just over two weeks. My baby girl is lovely and active and doing all sorts of weird movements! I'm enjoying how my uterus seems quite big now so she can kick right round the side and above my belly button and all sorts It's really starting to hit home for me and my partner that our dream of having a baby is really happening and we only have three and a half months to go.. I wrote a birth plan the other day, it has been forming in my head for a while but I was ready to type it up so I did, it felt good.
We're working on names and getting everything we need currently! How are people who are around in the 20's weeks doing with those two things?

Good for you on writing your birth plan. I have one as well. Its nice knowing that you have a plan and can share that with your Dr/Midwife.

I dont' have anything ready yet - just some outfits for baby. But I know I still have some time and my baby shower is in April.
I agree, baby's movements are getting so much stronger now and it's fun to watch my belly move and jerk around.

Lovelymiss - I'm sorry to hear about your friend. How is your friend doing now?

Yeah exactly, when my midwife says it's time to talk about it then I'll have something to go through
I'm having mine at the end of April too, I think, the date was mainly decided by when the people in my life are on a break from study hehe. I have quite a lot of clothes from my friend who had a lovely baby a few months ago so I'm not worried about that and I have my baby carrier and moses basket.. but I've lately started panicking about things like nappies This is my first baby and even though I think I'm pretty chilled out, I have my moments! My OH was chuckling at me for worrying about nappies when we've still got over three months.

Can I put nappies and things like that on the baby shower list of 'things we need'? Do you think it seems rude to say which specific type of disposable nappies we want..? Maybe not if it's close family?

Also I have the amazing Wilkinet baby carrier for plus sized ladies, but I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for a sling for us bigger ladies that is comfy? I'd like a ring sling, I'm not in a rush with it because the wilkinet is perfect for newborns but I definitely want one.
