xan - so glad everything went well at your scan:) So happy for you!! My anatomy scan is in 1.5hrs. I absolutely love avocado sandwhiches! There is a restaurant close by to me and that is all i order when i go there. lol

AFM - My doctors office just called with my genetic testing results. Everything came back completely normal! I am so happy:)
 
That's good news, mumma! And yay for pictures :) The tech said that our little guy was keeping his legs closed, so it was hard to get that potty shot, but she eventually got one.
 
Great news on the wonderful scans!! I love hearing good news.

I know this is a dreaded topic, but I'm curious how much weight everyone has put on so far?? It's my first pregnancy and I'm trying to get an idea of what's good/bad/average etc. Anyone want to share?

I had my 17 week follow last week and I've gained 8lbs. Doc said he was happy with it, especially since I had a stomach bug for 3 days and couldn't keep much down.
 
Hi everyone!
Love reading your news every evening after work...sorry I don't write much but I feel like my pregnancy is very boring by comparison!
Had a somewhat disappointing scan today that was really brief, just to check heartbeat (156) and we tried to look at gender but baby's legs were firmly crossed with its feet blocking the view so we will have to wait another month til the 20 week scan. Didn't even get a pic...

Aiden I am also allergic to bananas! I never "met" anyone with the same problem before!

I've put on 2kg which is about 5lbs. Haven't bought anything yet as still have everything from DS and am just waiting to find out gender before hitting the shops :)
 
I haven't weighed myself in a while but I think I have gained about 10lb :/
 
I have probably put on about 6-7 pounds now. I had a rough first tri and actually lost weight then.

I had my anatomy scan today and it went well. It is still a boy!! lol I have to go back in 2 weeks for another scan. the baby was being a bit uncooperative and the tech could not get good shots of the spine. Baby is measuring 18 +3. I am 18 +6 today. Due date won't change.

Lallie - sorry you didn't have a good scan. That happened to me at 13 weeks. I didn't get a pic either.

I've only put on 2 pounds so far. Midwife didn't seem too concerned about it. I think it's where I have been trying hard to eat healthy that I probably lost some weight to begin with x
 
Haven't gained a single lb yet. I'm sure it's to do with me being large to begin with and I also had a really rough 1st tri and beginning of 2nd tri eating wise. I'm just now getting an appetite back.
 
I've been gaining and losing the same 2 lbs on and off again! Probably cause I've been very nauseous and have had two separate viral infections and the flu so I really don't feel like eating.
 
I've gained 12lbs. I always gain between 40 & 50lbs. I stopped feeling bad about it a few kids ago. I always lose it after.

17w bump

I keep hearing how huge I am. I'm so over that. I just had a baby 9 months ago & this will be my 9th child & I just turned forty. Can anyone cut me some slack? lol
 
It's a lovely bump Luv! I think I'm a similar size. I think when you've had a few you show quickly really early on x
 
Wow Luv, that is an impressive bump! Fabulous!

I reckon mine will be a strange shape again, like a baked bean.

As for weight, I'm just not looking. It's not something that's monitored here which I'm quite thankful for because I don't really want someone breathing down my neck about it when I'm already trying to mentally deal with getting bigger after losing 3st in weight.
 
mummamoo: wonderful pics :) Also good to know the fluid is reducing. Great signs :thumbup:

luv: I'm actually jealous of your bump! My bump hasn't grown since like 13 weeks! Some days it actually feels like it's shrinking! I wish I had an obvious bump so people can fuss over me and stuff :D

lailee: I also have to wait until 20 week scan for gender. I really hope the baby will be cooperative. When is yours? Mine is May 4th, which seems like a long time from now =\

I lost 3 lb then gained it back + 5. Seems about right according to the chart. I'm trying to keep it under control by watching what I eat and also I try to exercise at least 30min-1hr everyday. Pretty tiring sometimes.
 
Luv- I think you have a beautiful bump, and you are so thin everywhere else. You should tell the unsolicited advisees to stuff it!

At 17 weeks I had gained 4lbs (they didn't weigh me this time). I guess I'll get an update on Monday when I see my regular OBGYN.

Mari- glad your results came back great :)
 
That's a beautiful bump!! I think you look fantastic...especially for baby #9!! Keep doing what you are doing!
 
Luv- love your bump!! You look amazing for baby #9!!


Anybody getting hip or back pain yet? My left hip is really starting to get bad. There have been a couple days where I could barely move. The pain also shoots down my legs. I'm think of getting a pregnancy support belt to see if that helps. Anyone used a belt before? I think my pelvic core is weak.
 
Xan and Mumma, very glad to hear that your scan went well,.
Xan, Glad you found those avacado sandwiches. Lol.

Mari, glad your testing came back ok. But, sorry I might have missed your post about what type of testing it was.

On weight gain front I have probably gained 12lbs.Last pregnancy hardly gained anything and was only up by 8-10lbs at 38weeks when my dd arrived.
 
swetty - Thanks:) it was the genetic testing for down syndrome and trisomy. I had an ultrasound @ 12 weeks as well as blood work at 12 and 18 weeks. They combine all the results to see what my chances are for any of these abnormalities. It is free here in Canada, so I decided to do the testing.
