September Snugglers 2016

I put on 4kg when I went to the US for 3 weeks. Such big meals! And so many fried things!! Lol.

I just lost 8.2kg/18lbs over a couple of months and wasn't too far off my pre-pregnancy weight when I found out I was pregnant again! My plan is to stay around the same weight I am now in the first trimester because that's when I put on most of my weight last time.

Vivid dreams is one thing I've been having! Not nightmares though. Just super realistic dreams.

You can have more healthy extras if I remember correctly (2 each from memory, instead of 1 each) and are encouraged to use all of your Syns. They don't encourage weight loss as such but it's more to keep you on the right track. You can eat so much and the plan is approved by midwives so it's pefectly safe and a healthy way to be eating.
I have a huge appetite so it's ideal for me! X

Thank you! I had a feeling it was just one extra B healthy extra for the calcium but not entirely certain. I'm not going to bother with the groups, just going to try and go it alone, but I needed to wait for the sicky feelings to go because there is SO much I can't face eating at the moment!

We did a 16 day road trip in California (and Vegas) it was the best trip ever. DH wanted a muscle car so we drove a red Dodge Challenger! Visited LA, Monterey, San Fran, Yosemite, Death Valley (my fave!), Vegas, Grand Canyon, Palm Springs and San Diego. We were knackered when we got home but it was amazing!

What a shame (about the food) where did you go?

We did a 3 week road trip in a camper van, started of in Arizona, went across into California and then Nevada and back down into Arizona, we stayed in lots of little places, and then also LA, San Diego, Vegas. We went up to the Grand Canyon and across the Hoover Dam. I think my most favourite place was Sedona, lovely scenery.

so sorry to hear that mrs blue eyes


Is anyone still eating brie? Is it safer to eat if the rind is taken off? I don't want to eat anything bad but its looking at me, telling me to eat it

So sorry for your loss Mrsblue xxx

Crazy dreams continued last night and I'm so short tempered this morning too. I can't remember myself but OH said I was exactly the same with both our other pregnancies - nightmares, mood swings and very teary lol.

Is anyone else having an early scan? I had a 7 week one with both my boys and I'm booked in for one on Saturday. I just can't make it to 12 weeks I'm too impatient! X

I don't tend to eat brie much anyway, so I'm not too sure about that one, but the day I got my bfp, was the same day as the work Christmas dinner and I ate a LOAD of pate! Oops!

Just want to say the best of luck to you ladies!!! You can unfortunately take me off the list for next September... suffered a miscarriage today at about 5 1/2 weeks. I believe it was a chemical pregnancy as I got a positive even before my missed period but then my tests got negative and my blood tests confirmed that. So it's just me and a huge bowl of ice cream tonight.

so sorry lovely. I wish you all the best next cycle xxxx big hugs lovely xx

 

[LoraLoo]

Thanks- think I need to stop testing now.

Well, maybe do a digital lol. How many dpo did everyone get 2-3?

 

[xanzaba]

So sorry, Mrs. Blue Eyes.

 

[xanzaba]

I had a dream last night that DH and I were by the sea, and there were these monsters that were invisible, but when you touched one, they became visible 6 hours later. Well, we touched one that would become visible at 10pm- I was panicking because I knew that I wouldn't be able to stay awake.

Well, maybe I can blame this creative little bean for such bizarre dreams?

Private - I think they can be quite expensive at some places but we've always used the same place and it's £50 which I think is fair.

I think it'd definitely be worth asking your midwife if you can get an NHS scan with your history though xxx

I'm having scans at 8 and 10 weeks- the 8 weeks in the US is pretty standard. It's the first appointment and they do a scan to check for a heartbeat. The 10 weeks will be with a fetal health specialist. I've had a subchorionic hemorrhage in the past so they will be on the lookout for any signs of a clot. They'll also do the free cell DNA- a blood test- to check for trisomies. If we get to that point, we'll also get to know the gender at that time! We definitely want to know, but we may not tell other people the gender. We don't want a whole set of pink or blue clothes.
