:hi: to all the new ladies :D

How are we all today?

I had a bad day yesterday with a bit of bleeding and lots of cramp but midwife told me to just stay at home and they will just see me when i have my scan in 3 weeks. :( so now gotta wait that long to see if baby is ok x

I had spotting in my 7th week (stopped in that same week) and also have to wait for a scan. Mine is Wednesday next week so fingers crossed baby is doing good. I'm so nervous as I've personally never had spotting before without it turning into a MC. I've had 4 MC's in the past with an ex but went on to have DD with my DF and got pregnant soon after! I'm so scared that baby has stopped growing... :cry: I'll have to let you know how my scan goes next week. :thumbup:
 
It's been over 6 years since I had a bump, I've forgotten what it was like

Thanks hun, I think its horrendous they make you wait so long. If i was in at 12 weeks then it wouldnt bother me because thats next week... but i have to wait even longer than that. And just like you im scared baby has stopped growing or died. x
 
I think I belong here *waves* I am 17 stone but being quite tall at 5 10 my BMI is around the 36 mark and always has been. I'm pretty active though the midwife didn't make a big thing about it she wants me to see a consultant as I have asthma as well.
 
Hey ladies what do you think of these siggy????

I only found out yesterday I was pregnant so it was a bit surreal!

This morning has been wonderful! I woke up with the biggest smile on my face and said "I'm pregnant!" my brain even said are you sure it's not a dream but I knew it was true! As I said it out loud DH woke up and said "I know!"

I went and did a morning wee sample for the docs and climbed back into bed for a cuddle and the first bit of stress free BD in almost 2 years!!! Wonderful!

Still no AF which is obviously my concern. I read yesterday that there is a 10% chance of miscarriage now which kept me cautious - but today I thought "There's a 90% chance I'm going to deliver this baby!!"

Definitely a positive spin on it!!!

Off to the docs after my coffee (within 200mg of caffeine lol!!)
 
Im a big girl here! I'm a US size 18/20. I'm due with LO#2 April 8th 2013 :)

hi ladies,

Found out I was pregnant on August 2, and I'm a bit scared since im overweight. This is my second pregnancy, the first was a miscarriage and I was at a way more healthier weight than I am now. I'm 17stone5lbs, I don't know how far along I am since I had an ultrasound done and the doctor said it was still early he could only see a sac. I got blood work done so should be finding out tommorrow how far along I am. I'm hoping I don't gain alot of weight, im trying to eat as healthy as possible but since I haven't been able to cook much coz of food aversions its really hard.

:hugs::hugs: Hun, no matter how big you are you deserve to have a baby!! Just because we are big and have a high BMI doesn't mean we should not have a baby... yeah we are a little more high risk.. but you could have a perfectly normal pregnancy and delivery. At the end of the day the midwifes and specialists get paid a great deal to deal with ladies like us so make them earn their wages. I feel the same as you about looking at the fat... my view of myself at the moment is a beached whale! BUT you will get a gorgeous bump.. and who cares if its a bit more cushioned than a skinny girls.. just means theres more love to go round when baby comes!

Lots of love hun.

:hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs: i know exactly how you feel, but we just have to stay positive :dohh: i know its easier said than done, just because we are bigger doesnt mean we cant have normal healthy pregnancies... we also cant let fear keep us enjoying our pregnancies & beautiful bumps :hugs::hugs::hugs:
 
I think we're all going to hit the point during our pregnancy where we wonder whether its right to get pregnant being a bigger woman... but the answer is YES YES and YES! We are BIG .... we are BEAUTIFULL and we are GIFT BEARERS of the most precious kind xxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
I think I was grateful for the extra weight on my stomach today when my 2 year old was climbing and fell on me!
