Your very welcome LouLou, I can't stand when doctors/midwifes make people feel like shit. Just reminds me of how i was treated after my first was born. A sweep isn't so bad. Do you have a brave partner?? If so you could maybe get him to do your own version of a home sweep. My other half did it for me and thats why i was 2cm dialted when they induced my labour. Have you tried all the things like pinneaple, hot curry, lots of sex, you've done the walking, rocking on a birthing ball. DO NOT TRY CASTOR OIL! I'd expect at least one person to advice you of that stuff as you get further over due... but its just not worth it. My other halfs mum got me some and told me to try it.... lets just say never, ever again lol. Lots of trips to the loo, stomach ache... and still no labour.

Is there a nice big hill you can walk up near you? That might just help things along. My old friend did that one night and by 6:30am she had the baby at 4 days overdue. xxx

Hmmm iv tried pineapples hot curries sex bouncing on my ball and walking but nothing . I won't try Castor oil heard too many bad stories and it frightens me to death lol might have to try the hill thing tho that sounds promising! How are u getting on with this pregnancy ?

 

[sethsmummy]

hmm seems like you have a very stubborn little one lol.

I'm doing good. I get my first scan on Tuesday, I am so freaking excited. I get to finally find out how far along I am. I have very irregular cycles (lucky to get one every 3/4 months) and didnt have one for 4 months before I got my BFP only had a tiny bit of spotting which is what the midwife used to calculate my date. Will also be good to just check baby is ok
Apart from some major nausea i cant complain but even thats wore off now. Just left with achey hips... think im going to end up with bad SPD again. xx

 

[ChelliBelle]

Ohhh, think i will join here!

I have just found out that I am 5+6 weeks pregnant, which I am trying to remain as sane as possible over since my last pregnancy ended in MC.

Ive had a few days of nausea but no actual sickness- but the smell of raw/cooking meat is turning my stomach! My bobs are bloody killing me tho! I'm still wearing my bra because when i take it off it feels like ive got people swinging from them they are so heavy lol!

I'm around th 17.5 mark- i'm with SWorld and have lost just over 2.5 stone with them. I will still stick with the plan as much as possible to try and limit the weight gain- but this week is proving to be quite difficult as I seem to be hungry ALL THE TIME!

Anyway, i'm not too worried about the midwife/doctors moaning to me about my weight- if they do, they will get told to get over it! No point moaning to me after the fact lol.... I'm fat people! deal with it!

I have my fingers crossed that this one is a sticky- i'm excited, but at the same time i'm not letting myself get too attached (if that's possible).

Ive not been to the doctors yet as i'm in the process of changing and i hate the current one but according to my lmp, i will be due on/around the 28th April

Hope you are all feeling good and positive!

 

[sethsmummy]

Congratulations ChilleBelle! Sending lots of your way!!

And bloody WOW at loosing 2 and a half stone.. go you!!

I feel you on the boobs! Luckily mine seem to be calming down a little bit, can actually lie on them without it killing me lol. Still hurts lots of my little one tries to climb on me though.

I love your attitude towards the midwife/docs! That's the way to go hun I can't wait to see the look i get from my specialist at 16 weeks.. but tbh I don't care, I know im a bigger woman and it comes with bigger risks.... but... thats what they are paid the fantastic wages for!

Hey my friend only recently was unsure of her dates due to not having a period for three months when she went for her 12 wk scan she was nearly 20 weeks! so you never know you might be further on than u think! Imagine that! Yeah the spd is awful I've really suffered within I'm almost in tears trying to turn over in bed on an evening

Hi well done on the weight loss! I'm going to join sw as soon as the little one arrives as its the only plan that's ever really worked for me! Looking forwards to it I'm hoping this pregnancy is a sticky for you! I had 2 mmc at 12 weeks previous to this pregnancy so know how u feel about not letting yoiurself get attached. As daft as it sounds even tho I'm now overdue I'm still convinced sopmething is going to happen bad and I can't allow myself to become 100 % involved with this baby thinking ahead into the future - so when all the consultants explain risks associated with my weight it sort of makes things in my head a lot worse - anyway were all here together to support eachother aren't we thankfully

Hi sparklegirl I'm so pleased to finally have found thiscthread and it's so nice to chat to you ladies who aren't judging and are so positive

Oooo I am hoping so! I am possitive I have felt movements for the last few weeks... so if I'm not further on it means I'm a seniel old bat! lol
We are thinking I could be anything between the 12 week and 20 weeks as i did a test 2 months before my and i got a

I had spd real bad during my first pregnancy, and unfortunately I have hip/knee problems anyway so the spd just makes it 100* worse


And so glad your pain went away Sparkle xxx

 

[mrs_cookie]

hello ladies. i would also like to join. i am plus size and this is my first pregnancy. me and my hubby are so excited. btw i am a size 28, well i was pre-pregnancy lol. i am looking forward to chatting and sharing photos with you all as our pregnancies progress

 

[mrs_cookie]

i just made 17 weeks today and i am experiencing alot of movements, maybe its gas. i am told that it is much too soon for me to be feeling my baby move. also, does anybody else have flutters all over their body and wrist pain? my dr. told me that it is normal to have these feelings. this is my first pregnancy so im a little paranoid about everything lol

 

[Sparklegirl]

Welcome Mrs Cookie!!!
do any of you ladies dare to share some bump pics yet???
i will when im 15 weeks when i have a reason to look so big

 

[sethsmummy]

SCAN TODAY!!!! wooooo

 

[ChezTunes]

Certainly not too soon to feel at 17 weeks I felt DD's first flutters at 12 weeks, then not much more until 15 weeks she really started thumping. By 18w her kicks where getting much harder and at 22w OH felt her from the outside. I've been feeling this LO's flutters for about 2 weeks now and they're getting more definite by the day! Cannot wait to feel proper kicks!!

 

[sethsmummy]

Had to knock my ticker back a bit. By the size today I am 12 weeks and 6 days but us tech couldn't get a proper measurement as baby wouldn't co-operate! He/she was lying looking at my feet, and after much effort to try make them move... they just turned their back to us so she struggled to measure little bean. She never even tried to listen to the heart beat or check the blood flow so im very dissapointed! Will put piccy up later although its kinda rubbish.

[ChezTunes]

Babybrain has made me forget it I've already put this on here, if so I'm sorry!

I had my scan at what we though was 11+2 and we were only put back 2 days so here's baby measuring 11+2...
