September Snugglers 2016

Forums New posts
Well hello ladies! Sorry for the prolonged absence- ms has gotten hold of me and i have felt rotten for the last 2 weeks. Basically all day nausea and random vomitting yellow bile - not nice! Also been extremely tired and just no energy!

I have still been readong all of your posts even though i havent replied - so sorry for the losses last week xx

Had a scan at 7 weeks last sunday and saw my bean and little heartbeat all there :) measuring bang on my dates. Gt booking appointment week after next. Also looking forward to seeing some lovely 12 week scans coming up here soon!

Heres my bean :)
 
Just dropping in to say you're all doing an amazing job navigating the twists and turns of pregnancy. Cheering for the Snugglers as always! XOXO
 
Oh, Leson..so good to see you. Thank you so much! We are all cheering for you too!! Take good care~ :flower:

Dreamer- welcome back. Sorry ms has been so rough past weeks. The bile vomiting..ugh..here too so bad.
Well, my hg came back with a vengeance yesterday after drinking coconut water trying to rehydrate!

Enjoying zero degrees coziness inside all weekend. Hope everyone is well!
 
Hello ladies,

Hope you're all okay! Not much to update on other than I've been feeling flutters for 3 days now! It's crazy early but apparently that can happen from what I've read online especially with your second. I just feel like something is moving around.
 
Hi ladies, and happy valentine's day!

Sorry for my absence. I don't have an excuse other than I've been a bit more tired than normal. 200 days until my EDD which is exciting!

Going to try and catch up on what I've missed now x

Omg! That's fabulous, how exciting!
I've had moments where I've THOUGHT I've felt something, but then given myself a talking to because it just probably wasn't what I thought it was.
I have also read that with second and more babies, they can be felt earlier, mainly because momma's know what it feels like. Last time I think I was around 15weeks when I first felt Sophie.
 
Mum- I'm still in disbelief! First time it happened it felt like bubbles bursting in my uterus and I thought I was gassy, but I know what gas is like, and it's not in the uterus!

My sisters and my DH think I'm crazy but I told them I know what flutters feel like. Maybe it's a sign this will be a bigger baby, aren't most second babies usually a bit bigger?

I am pretty sure I had the same last night! But please please let that not be true about bigger 2nd babies! My 1st was plenty big enough!!
 
Lal- Oh then I hope you get a smaller baby this time! I weight more this time so I'm already packing haha, this doctor wants me to gain 35 lbs whilst my last doctor wanted me to gain 25 lbs.

What do you ladies think?
 
I was told to only gain 10 lbs this time! An admirable goal, but I don't think it's achievable. :nope:

I gained 25 lbs last time before we lost our baby, and felt like I'd done amazingly well. I just didn't have time to lose any of it, and managed to put an extra 5 lbs on in between, so I'm already 20 lbs over my original pre-baby weight already :dohh: hence the 10lb recommendation this time.

I think 35 lbs is the most common recommendation, but it's really a range and a lot depends on what your BMI is to begin with. So, campn if you're being told to gain more this time, you must have done something right in between times :thumbup: Or, maybe you just have an doc this time who has realistic expectations :winkwink: mine is obviously a dreamer hehe

My second baby was definitely bigger than my first. DS was 6lbs,6oz at birth and DD1 was 8lbs,10oz. :shock: DD2 was 7lbs,12oz though, so I'm hoping this baby is closer to her weight than DD1's.

As for my weight gain, my doctor hasn't even told me a recommendation yet. He was more concerned about the fact that I lost 10lbs between weeks 4 and 6 (understandably), so his focus was just to make sure I didn't lost any more. Right now I'm around the same weight I was pre-pregnancy. I'm hoping that I don't gain too much weight this time around but I am notoriously bad at keeping my weight gain under control while I'm pregnant. :dohh:
 
I don't want #2 to be bigger, mainly because I tore last time - not that THAT was a major problem, just wouldn't want that to happen this time because the consultants hospital has moved. Sophie was 7lb 12oz and was very dainty.

Weight wise, I'm heavier than I was when I was expecting Sophie, and so now that the nausea is much improved, I shall be making more effort to eat better to either limit the weight gain or not gain. I could stand to lose weight and it be OK, but I know that just isn't likely to happen. I shall be taking to my Midwife about this at my 16week appointment.
 
I think because DS was 5 lbs 4 oz at birth he's considered low birth weight so I think she doesn't want that to happen again and I understand as nursing such a tiny baby was almost impossible. I actually asked her how much she thinks I should gain otherwise she wouldn't have mentioned it.

My bmi is 24.5 so it's normal but nearing the overweight criteria honestly because my thyroid gave up after I gave birth.

I want to keep the weight in my belly this time but I know this isn't realistic but I'll try to do my squats everyday (once the first trimester cloud passes over) and do some light hand weights. Why are we due in the summer!?

Mum- hopefully you won't tear this time, it's more common with the first as things were super tight still. I remember seeing my lady parts 2 weeks post partum and felt like my heart sank! Ah the horror!
 
Hey dreamer I was wondering where you were. Sorry the ms has been bad, is it starting to ease yet?

Campn that is amazing! All my apps have been saying that it's probably moving around like crazy at the moment, so wonderful that you can feel it!! I can't wait for that.
 
Ooh campn very exciting! I cant wait for that day!

Hi Mrs Unicorn - thank you.
Its good and bad days - when im at work i can put it out of my mind mostly as im so busy but it just comes on at random times and makes me feel so rough. Looking forward to second tri! Still 4 weeks to go x

Yeah, fingers crossed! The Midwife who booked me in said there's every chance it won't happen again. Apparently it's because I have a short perineum. I joked to her that I'll have to start stretching it, and she told me there is a cream that can be used to massage in to soften it before the birth, but she forgot what it was called. Seriously going to research that one - that'll be a nice job for Mr Moo :rofl:

Unfortunately work isn't enough of a distraction for me, probably because I'm self employed and work from home. It has made the worst days easier as I can have a lie down. I'm not having a good day today, seriously strong nausea. I guess I shouldn't complain at least I'm not being sick. Yes, still a few weeks until our scans, I so can't wait. I'm getting excited at the thought of telling our families too!

Mummamoo - I heard that using olive oil is supposed to help too. I feel like I'm not really worrying about the birth (at the moment!) it's such an abstract thing, I can't really imagine it! Maybe once I have a huge belly the realisation may start to set in that I'll actually have to get it out!!
 
All 3 pregnancies my doctors told me 25-35 pounds, despite the fact that I am 10 pounds heavier now. I'm going to try to stick to the 25 pound mark.

I think the key for me is to get enough exercise, I heard that helps even after labor. I'm going to start yoga this week. Last night I woke up with that pain in my lower back, just above my hip. It got so bad in my first pregnancy that I couldn't move my leg first thing in the morning. I also love swimming in the summer, so that shouldn't be hard, but right now I'm freezing at 70 or lower, so pretty much all the time now. This weekend we went for a beach weekend and met up with a good friend and her two adorable daughters. They were playing around in the pool and a part of me wanted to go in the water but I couldn't bring myself to get in, even though it was 75 degrees and the pool was heated. So I am officially a wimp!

I did end up telling my friend- we used to live together in Boston so she was enjoying the warm weather and couldn't believe I was cold. I guess I was looking for an excuse to tell her, and he daughters were SO cute!
