plus size and pregnant !

[Mummafrog]

Welcome to newlywed!

Lovely bumps all of you, the piccies never fail to make me smile

0400 - Keeping my fingers crossed you start ovulating again soon and your cycle gets back to normal so you can catch an early egg! Keep us updated.

AFM - Not much to report which is why I haven't posted in a while, I'm doing well though and my little girl seems to be happily growing and kicking away in there. Very loved up with my partner as well in our little house, doing our best to get it ready for baby now. Two months to go, eek! I'm getting very eager to hold her in my arms now.. I'm having two little baby showers rather than one big one for the convenience of people who want to be there and the first is tomorrow, then the second is in about two weeks, really excited to see everyone

Love to all

Hey ladies just checking in again.
Everyone's bumps look great!
I'm not doing too well. I suffer from depression and it is starting to come back full force again despite my meds. That's probably why I haven't been on here much. I hope you ladies are all doing well!

Hello everyone!
I haven't been on much either, I'm afraid.
However, everything is going well with me.
I can't remember the last update I made.
I was having issues with my blood sugar thanks to my T2DB. My doctor thankfully found out he can just keep increasing my oral medication instead of putting me on insulin. I was happy about that! So far so good. Still have a few highs and lows but it's getting better.
My last ultrasound at 31+4 shows baby is still headdown, sunnyside up (facing my belly) and she weighs approx 4lbs 3 oz.
My Dr has me coming in weekly and they are doing weekly nonstress tests (NST). This is also due to my T2DB. I don't mind though. I am glad they are monitoring me so closely to make sure we are both doing well.

I have noticed an increase in dizzy spells. I know that's just one of the lovely side effects of pregnancy but they are so annoying.

I will post a new baby bump pic on Monday when I'm 33 weeks.

Hope everyone is well!!

Hoping to join? I try to eat healthy as possible but being on vacation is the worst for temptations.

I forgot to post this but I got a 3d ultrasound about a month ago. Here's little Nathan's face!

Helloo ladies, it's gone quiet hasn't it!

Wanted to share some pictures but argh they are too large (I'll post something soon if I can), still I finally have a bump I am proud of and I can't believe I have only 6 weeks to go... I am on maternity leave now (course timetable meant it was the best time) and I feel so much better for being able to rest when I need to.
I've been bad with food the last few weeks, I'm scared my final growth scan in three weeks will show that she's gone off the charts, I need to get back on track with my food. I'm around my pre-pregnancy weight now or probably just over which I am very proud of but it's much more about health than weight, plus I could easily balloon over these last few weeks!

No health issues have come up so far which is great and surprising. Scared if I don't stop with the sugar they will though.

I've been getting lots done around the house and we've got pretty much everything we need/want for birth, baby and me! Also been slowly packing the bag.

How is everyone getting on? xXx

Hi yep it's going fast you must be getting so excited six weeks will fly by x I'm still nine pounds under weight from day I found out due to gallbladder, I have twenty week scan on Tuesday so looking forward to that xx

 

[trumpetbeth]

Hi! I'm 11 weeks and just need to in button my pants sometime... I also have horrible nausea all day. Can't wait to see my bump!

 

[JAJuly2013]

Hello All! I sort of forgot about this thread and didn't post a 33 week belly pic. OOPS.

I hope everyone is doing well!

I'm 34 weeks today and will attach my picture.

because of my diabetes I'm now having weekly OB appts and NSTs.

So far everything appears to be good. We are still trying to reign in my blood sugars. At my last OB appt at 33+4 I measured 36cm so Dr is concerned she will be a big baby. I have an ultrasound scheduled for next week at 35+2.

I have gained 2 pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight - so not too shabby!

 

[Mummafrog]

Ooh looking forward to pictures imogenwanted; are you finding out the sex or having a surprise?

Aw poor you trumpetbeth.. my symptoms have gone up and down, left and returned randomly as my pregnancy has progressed. I hope you get a break as you move into the second tri. When's your first scan??

Hello JAJuly, well done you! Looking beautiful. I think I've gained a bit more than you now, I got a bit too into chocolate and crap the past few weeks but trying to get back on track. I'm still not far over, maybe 4-5lbs.

I've figured out how to get the picture files smaller so I can post them! These are my 34 week pictures.

Mummafrog

[Mummafrog]

Aww thank you It's still not completely round when I'm naked but in the right clothes I am quite proud of it and I like it that people can tell now

Yaay a little booy Yeah get them to check again hehe. I got them to check at my 28 week scan as well So how are you feeling?

 

[imogenwanted]

Well lucky I have not had any gallblader attacks for two weeks so feeling much better and Imogen is finally sleeping 6.30-7 so I'm getting loads more sleep still need to sleep when she does as so tired, but feeling good above my belly button has got a lot bigger and under belly button has got smaller so just need to even out, I don't think I had a bump till I was about 32 weeks pregnant lol, you are so nearly there so exciting x

Hey ladies can I join you. I was 197 lbs when I found out I was pregnant and have pretty well stayed the same so far. Really not liking the way I look right now. To me it's obvious that I have a bump growing but I always wonder if people that don't know I'm pregnant just think I've put on weight in the last couple months. On my phone so can't post my 18 week bump pic but tomorrow when I'm on my computer I will. My tickers are wrong as I am 18+4 due in September on dh's bday.
