wow alot of pages to read

mmm would you ladies mind sharing how much weight have you put on? I am trying to take care of myself bc with my son I didn't watch what I ate and I put on alot of weight, so at my 24 week app my mw said I have put on 13 lbs and she said that was ok and normal..not looking forward to my 28 week app as I'm having th glucose test done ughhh

I get the looks too, I'm 21 but look about 12!!

I was about 6stone12 pre-preg and reckon I am nearing 8stone now. Last time I got to 8stone10 at the end and was back to pre-preg weight about 3 weeks post-partum. Always been underweight though!

Anyone got any new bump piccies? xx

i've lost weight it's on my journal I started at a heft 87kg went down to 82.5kg when i was il and just about 85/6kg now. Not enjoying the lack of bowel movement

 

[molly85]

just read back, bloody hell i know the ooh that was quick how will you cope bollocks, grrr really annoys me. I have no friggin idea love and seen as abby took 8 months to conceive it was abit of a shock.

My work team are really supportive there was something very odd about discussing sperm with my matron lol.

 

[kmbabycrazy]

I've put on 15lb so far and i'd put on about the same at this point with my son (although lost loads at beginning due to hyperemesis) and i lost pretty much all baby weight by 4 weeks post partum.

Bought a 2nd hand cot with brand new mattress for £60 today. Bargain!!! And makes me feel a little better. At least lily now has somewhere to sleep! Lol

loved it because the entire time i've been tying lily has been wriggling

I've put on about a stone. Would like to not put on the amount i did with Connie! I put on about 3 and half stone and felt so horrible after I gave birth

 

[Mosnippy]

i put on about 6lbs.. touch wood it stays that way..although i am presently very impressed at that, as I have been eating complete crap! as I have PCOS if i was eating what i did now before i was pregnant i would have balloned no time..just looking at carbs made me pick up weight!

and they wanted me to have a dietician to stop me picking up weight due to me being plus size! Huh.

 

[themarshas]

I just had my 24 week appointment (24+5) and I've gained about 14 lbs which is pretty much right on track. I was told 10 lbs in the first 20 weeks, then a lb a week after that. So their goal for me is about 30-35 lbs but I was really small to begin with (about 102lbs).

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Well ladies found out I have a throat infection and that I might lose my job all in one day. Pretty safe to say I'm a bit of a mess right now!!!

 

[Mosnippy]

Oh nooooo why loose your job???

 

[stardust599]

Oh no hun, what's happened

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Well the other legal secretary had to leave and her temp needs to leave at the end of may and due to these circumstances they may not be able to offer me a permenant position following the completion of my apprenticeship! Which sounds like complete bullshit to me as if there are two people leaving surely that would make there more of a chance of a job for me. I don't understand where it's come from as in the past we've always discussed opportunities following my apprenticeship, terms of the contract, hours I will work once I qualify, other training I can do so I have always been under the impression I would and now just 2/3 weeks from finishing they tell me they might not have a job for me. I'm really panicked as this just couldn't come at a worse time. I don't know what I would do as finding a house is already proving difficult and I just feel like it's some shitty excuse and they're not telling me what's actually going on and there's some underlying thing but they don't want to go through the formalities of it all. I've spent most of the day in tears, when I'm supposed to be resting and I don't know what the fuck I'm going to do!!!!

 

[stardust599]

I'm sorry hun

I don't know the rules of it all but I'm sure that if they've already said to you you'll be getting a permanent contract they can't suddenly change their mind now you're pregnant. You will still get maternity allowance if you've been paying NI conts xx

 

[misse04]

I was doing a business admin apprenticeship before I fell pregnant with Connie and It was pretty much set in stone I would be guarenteed a job after then "coincidently" had to be made redundant 3 weeks after I told them I was pregnant due to lack of money. Which was ofcorse a load of shit. Sorry they're being wankers x

 

[Mosnippy]

that sound dodgy in my mind! maybe speat to CAB and see if they allowed to do this? they probably are and covered there own asses!

that is so shitty! sorry to hear this!

i would melt if anything happend to my job! i am the breadwinner and pay for everything..so i would be a stressball if they did something like that so fully know how you must be feeling !!

sending a big hug! not what you want but best i can do!

 

[kmbabycrazy]

I know i'm going to have a meeting with my boss on Monday x

 

[kittylady]

If your meeting doesn't go well you might want to consider getting some independant advice from your local citizens advice about what you can do and whether its legal

I've gained 18lbs now, not sure whether its good or bad but I'm not going to let it stress me out. I think I should gain 22 to 28lbs by the end so not too worried unless I pass 28lbs.

 

[stardust599]

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Got a letter through the post this morning saying I'd been referred for consultant care. *******s! How sneaky, they knew I didn't want consultant care this time and wanted to stick with the midwifes although agreed to the growth scan. They could have at least waited to see what happens at the growth scan which I know will be fine this time - my LO was small from the start before and measurements have been fine this time so they are creating problems out of nothing. There goes my natural birth and pregnancy, it'll now be weekly monitoring/scans and an early induction strapped to the bed in stirrups. NO chance!!!!!!

 

[Mosnippy]

awww nooooo, maybe they just want a chat and will then leave you to carry on!

i personally dont see how the consultant is any more advance or better then midwife..they dont do anything differant or more then the midwife! apart from make me trek to hospital! its silly really!

 

[Mosnippy]

heres my 26 w bump!!

and the name plate for his door i painted! still missing something but sure I will think of something to finish it!
