Its over ten years since I last looked at maternity wear and I really thought it would have improved, sadly I was wrong. plenty of everyday casual wear but nothing really for smart officewear unless you want to look even bigger than you actually are

Now when I was first [regnant 22 yeas ago you wore brightly patter

Hi everyone good to see everyone is doing well including the disco baby and those feeling sickly ! Dance your poor eldest just shows how much children are effected by things hopefully the worry will be a distant memory soon .

Beck's delighted to hear you are relaxing and now having to remind yourself not to !!!

AFM: 8dpo ... Temps rose again this am but not up to the peak they had been . Went and bought a new themometer . Got home from work and got two different reading from each of them errrrr .... Do you think I should just see this month out with the old one ? It's giving me lower temp than the new one ? Don't think it really matters this month as what will be will be now .... It's 50/50 as looks like we b'ding at all the right times

Sooty ment to say creative loving the patterns ) get making them I'm sure the girls on here will put in orders by the dozen if I get my BFP ill take 3 floral of course

That could very well be an implantation dip Regina, I'm so excited to see if it rises again tomorrow, Im not sure whether to change the thermometer or not as they do say stick to the same one, however if it's defective then surely that's different? Xxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Beck's ill temp with both in the morning and see from there . Trying not to get my hopes up and really just wait it out and see what happens

 

[Oasis717]

Oh bloomin hell tomorrow hurry up! Xxxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Lol... It's only one temp they should stay up knocked up or not lol..... It's only,9dpo tomorrow .... Now if there still up on 14dpo ill be smiling also ff calculated my due date will be 24th of December if I conceive this month . That is the day I lost my baby last year . Kinda mixed feelings about that. But bring on the BFP I'm so ready

Morning all. Left - fingers crossed that temp stays up. Creative - loving the dresses lol. I think the casual wear has improved, maybe you could start designs for work wear. Defo gap in the market. As I was in the RAF when i was pregnant i had to wear massive blue shirt, horrible blue skirt and blue cardigan. Seriously i cried when u first wore it! Hows everyone else? AFM - i took your advice Lisa and started taking B6 50 mg yest as well as pregnacare conception. See how my LP is this cycle. Come on girls, we need another BFP x

 

[Oasis717]

Regina,my temps were up at this point and stayed up so for me every day they were up was a good sign xxx

 

[crazymam]

love the dresses lol still a huge gap in the market.
How is everyone today?
Stick to same thermometer for this cycle at least, and yes Josie I think another BFP is due now isn't it!
AFM feeling crappy as usual although not as tired, but still more so than usual.Trying to keep busy so I don't keep nodding off during the day, got it down to one afternoon nap now. My delivery of maternity wear arrives from asos today. Ordered it early as clothes are too tight round waist and making me feel sicker, and the size 8's seem to sell out straight away too. so this afternoon I shall be modelling them with a cushion stuffed round my belly haha

 

[Creative]

I shall not be making dresses this time (unless someone wants to comission one. I have some very pretty pink and bue pattened crimpalene in the cupboard!!!


I shall be living in dungarees. I have a pair left from last time and plan to embroider them up.

Jo, good call with B6. I googled this a lot last year and in the majority of cases it did increase LP. even an extra day would be good.

Regina, those temps look promising.

Creative, I`m sure my mom had patterns like that and wore dresses like that when PG with me and my sister.

I am lucky with maternity wear, as i have all my stuff from my 3 PG, plus my sister has a load of stuff, which she lent to someone else last year and has now got back, so i can have all of that too.

Saying that, i have just purchased some maternity wear off Ebay. I`m planning on a hot summer! So have bought 2 pairs of shorts, some linen trousers and a floral vest top - just need the sun now!!

Garfie, any news!

Crazy, making me jealous with your size 8`s. My stuff is all 14 & 16 !!!!!

 

[garfie]

Hi Ladies

Must have been another nasty one - this morning tested BFN - but one good thing a 24 day cycle and a 10DPO reckon she will be here by tomorrow though - oh well onto the testing

Regina - Your temps are looking really good hun

Crazy - A size what! 8 I think I was only ever that pre pregnancy with my eldest and that was 12 years ago - now I'm falling out of a 10!

Love to all the other ladies gotta dash taking the kids shopping with me and meeting mum for a bit of lunch - can you tell I'm trying not to think about it



X

 

[Oasis717]

I wish I was still an 8 lol, I was before I had my youngest and had been for years, dunno what happened!! My stuff is 14/16 too xxxx

 

[crazymam]

I may be a size 8 but it just means I look pregnant quicker! very impressed with the jeans form asos, very very comfy x

 

[Oasis717]

I wouldn't mind that lol, rather be an 8 than a 14! After baby is born I really am loosing weight, its dh fault he makes me too happy and he's too good a cook!! Xxx

 

[crazymam]

my weight only changes in pregnancy, been same dress size since my early teens, suppose I am very fortunate in that respect.
Well for two days in a row I have managed to do a pregnancy exercise dvd. My naps are down to one a day. but cant help worrying that maybe I should still be knackered all the time?
I started bleeding just after 9 weeks last time, so just want to get past the next two weeks. wish I could just stop worrying.
sickness is still here though and I still cant cook anything, thank heavens for my mam otherwise my kids would starve!

9 weeks is what I want to pass by too!

 

[Oasis717]

I know exactly how you feel, I was desperate to get past 11 plus 4 as that's when I lost my first angel last year, and now I'm nearly 15 weeks! I'm happy to still weigh the same as when I found out I was pregnant, I think grief had a big part to play in my weight gain as loosing my dad, then my nan then two babies in the space of a year and a half was so hard, I've no family now apart from dh, children and nan in law and mum in law who I'm incredibly close to, since my teens I was always tiny, I was always an 8 then dropped to a 6 and a 23" waist when dd was 12 but I was borderline anorexic, I was also this weight when dd 22 was little, I've battled with borderline eating disorder for years so I guess a healthy size 14 is better than an emaciated 6. I try to concentrate on eating healthy as opposed to diet as I can tend to get caught up very quickly and loose far too much too quickly, since meeting dh all that's changed and he makes me feel beautiful xxxxx
