Plus size & pregnant join here

[sethsmummy]

I've been watching this thread and see it's mostly just a few of you on here and was wondering if I could join and maybe see if there are any others out there??

This is my first pregnancy, and I'm plus sized. I actually was actively losing weight when I found out I was pregnant, I'm down 27lbs now. I'm sure my healthy eating and increase in exercise was the reason I managed to get pregnant after 4 years of trying, so I'm just continuing that with the approval of my MW, as long as I don't restrict calories she is fine if I lose a few more pounds, no more than 5 or so a month. I don't plan to lose more but I'd like to keep from putting much on for sure!

I'm only about 7w2d right now and have a dating scan tomorrow, and I really put me about 3-4 days behind that but we will see!

hey hun welcome

Cant believe in just a few short months our babies will be 2!

Ethan still has an awful awful temper on him just now and his screaming goes right through you! His speech is coming on leaps and bounds now as well. hes coming out with words left right and centre and its so damn cute i missed out on this with Seth so its so nice to hear him learning words so young He is obsessed with Seth to the point that he cries when seths at nursery because he just wants to play with him

both boys are ill with a horrible cold just now.. its completely floored Ethan.

Iv attached some pictures of the boys and the last scan picture we got of Rohan. I have GD this time round Im on metformin to control my bs numbers which seems to be working but by lord is it making me feel ill. I have another appointment on Tuesday after my first growth scan and if its no better by then im going to mention it. I keep going dizzy whenever i go up our stairs and any time were out walking.. its horrible. Its only just keeping my blood sugar levels down but im a little worried because iv not been eating a lot so i wonder what theyd be like if i had a proper appetite. Im supposed to up it to 2 tablets at a time from tomorrow... so not looking forward to that oh and not to mention the killer heartburn i am getting since starting them and my stomach pains are getting worse too. i get period cramps A LOT of also pains that go along the bottom of my back x

Aww sorry to hear youre not having a great time with things hun Hows Seth with his cold? Too early to know if hes avoided the more serious stuff?

We've all had the cold now too. I'm still suffering because my bodys just too tired to fight it off. Dylan has become a right mummys boy and spends all night snuggling which is lovely but hes a fidgetbum so it wakes me up.

The twinnies are 17 months now and getting so super cheeky, its a madhouse! Dylan and Toby kinda pair off and are really boisterous and Eddie is the little softie with a mischievous streak. And I'm still figuring out how to juggle it all

I've tried to attach their Halloween piccies so hopefully they work.

Afm... not much to report! Its all been about the kiddos. Have to apply for schools this month for toby but we're home schooling which terrifies me more and more as the school application deadline comes closer. Oh I did get picked to model at a plus size weekender event though. Which is totally weird haha.... whats everyone else been up to? Xx

Eerrrrr I dont know why the twins are upside down lol

 

[sethsmummy]

hahaha i thought they were doing some acrobatics


thanks hun... its not so bad apart from these meds. I might be getting switched to insulin on Tuesday but have to wait and see.
Seths much better today thanks its just Ethan who's really bad now. The poor boy cant breathe through his nose.

Dylan is like Ethan.. he ends up in our bed too and kicks me out of it haha .. i have to move half way down and kinda curl up.. getting harder to do that though the further on i get

awww its nice to see they get on really well.. i cant imagine what its like when they fight though Its bad enough with these two

oh no are you ok with home schooling hun? or did dh just get his own way on that one?

that is AMAZING about the modeling! I cant wait to see picured you are absolutely gorgeous in all your pics hun

We've not been upto much at all just getting sorted for christmas and baby and Seths birthday! Cant believe its not far away now Oh and a tonne of hospital appointments.. iv been there every week for like the last 5 weeks Im hoping i get some more info and dates on Tuesday. I hate that theyve switched my consultant so now i have no idea who im getting or what they are like xx
