Plus size bump pictures?

[Spunky]

Last scan there were still problems. Going for another one with the specialist on April 11th. :/ If it's not cleared up by then he'll have a CT scan after he's born. And now I have Gestational Diabetes. It's been an interesting pregnancy.

How goes it with you? Stayed team yellow?

 

[mummy2lola]

oh blimey hun ur really going through it arent u.didnt want to stay team yellow but baby had other plans lol didnt stop wriggling the entire time but not one did those little legs leave the position of being tucked up by tummy and feet under bum lol ive got my gtt at 28wks and pretty convinced im gonna have gd xx

 

[Spunky]

Sorry about the unplanned team yellow, makes the birth a little more exciting though. I wasn't expecting it, but I wasn't surprised about GD if that makes sense. I took the GTT test at 8 weeks and that was fine, but 27 weeks I failed 2 of the 3 parts. If you do end up with it there's a great support thread in Gestational Complications. I've only gained 9lbs, so it wasn't weight gain, but both parents have type 2 diabetes, and I was overweight to begin with. Did you know being over 25 puts you at a higher risk? Just stupid if you ask me.

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

mmmmmmmmmmm I get the opinion spunky that 25 is old to be a mummy these days

 

[Spunky]

I'm 26 pregnant with our first, and couldn't believe 25 was the at risk age! I am a high school teacher and we've even had a 14 year old that was pregnant (I taught seniors last year and had 5 students with 6 babies between them and 2 more pregnant ones in one year) so I understand people have kids younger, but what's so wrong with being mid twenties?!

 

[mummy2lola]

25 OMG that's ridiculous,I'm 26 with my first and to be put at the higher age risk range sounds silly,I still feel like I could fit in at school with my niece sometimes lol xx

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

I`m 28 and this is my second so I must be classed as `over and above risk`

 

[yomo]

Well I am 29 and on my first so I am well and truely over the hill lol x

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Me and you both yomo am 29 later this year

 

[Baronessgogo]

Me too, due to be 30 a month after my due date and its my first

 

[mummy2lola]

Well I've been discussing it with dh and he feels that I shouldn't go on any contraceptive when baby is born and just try again straight away as if I wait another whole year I'll be hobbling round on my walking stick by the time baby no 2 is born when I'm around 28-29 xx

 

[mommyof2peas]

you should see the looks I get when I tell people Im 30! Ill be 31 a month after baby is born.....You would think Ive got grey hair and am in a wheel chair with hearing aids in saying "ehh??what was that deary!"

 

[Spunky]

LOL I want one! A year will make such a HUGE difference! We're talking about waiting a year or so, so I'll be preventing somehow... I read the average age a woman has her first baby is 25, so I already feel behind, but 2 kids before 30 is very respectable!

Thanks ladies for not making me feel OLD for waiting. I can't believe how many people have commented on my age and how we waited soooo long to start our family.

 

[mummy2lola]

Ur not old at all hun,compared to alot of people then yes we're waaaayyyy to old to even be having sex lol we started trying 2 years ago but took this long to catch eggy,I'm now a great believer in "when the time is right" and for us now is the perfect time,dh at 19-20 would not have done well,tbh I doubt he wouldve been sober long enough to actually get it up let alone inseminate me lol xx

LOL. I don't feel old, just after so many comments! We've been married over 7.5 years, so both of our families have been holding their breaths waiting for us. My husband was Navy for the first 6 years of our marriage and I didn't want a baby with him gone, so we waited. Like you said, "when the time is right." My students think its weird that I planned my baby (they say all the babies they know were accidents ) so hopefully maybe it'll give them some food for thought over the next few years of their lives.

 

[mummy2lola]

Wow that's quite a sad thought to think that nowadays if a baby is planned ur strange,but again at 15-16 I couldn't understand why anyone would want a baby but now I have 24/7 baby brain and have done for 2 years and nothing seems more wonderful than a baby.....puke,gushy moment lol xx

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Well when I was 15-16yrs old my dream was to have my family complete by the time I was 30yrs old and well I will have achieved that

I_want_one I also agree `when the time is right` we tried for my DS when I was 21yrs old and it didnt happen for two years I am only now feeling `ready` for DS number two....so even if I am `old` or `at risk` or whatever its what I wanted too

Sorry to but in but im 20 and passed the gd test at 8 weeks and failed 27 week test. I have also gained 22 pounds in the past 10 weeks but its all baby and fluid so my dr are worried. I hope I can manage to past the 3 hour test because im not good at following dietary restrictions

Heres a 29w 5d bump pic. Probably the last time I can get into this dress lol

 

[jmiller]
