Yay Mango!!

I gained 4 lbs my first trimester then almost 15 in the past 6 weeks!!! I eat pretty healthy and I'm not overdoing it...it seems to be 90% belly...my doctor said around 25-30 was good, but I'm freaking out cause I feel like I'm almost there only halfway thru!

Nice to see everyone is doing well. I appreciate all the support about my dds eye surgery . Its kind of scary but I think its going to be a good thing. For all those with SPD I sure hope you get to feeling better. It sounds very painful. As for weight I had gained 10 lbs at my 18 weeks appt but I am hoping there hasn't been much more. I am afraid to even look at a scale. LOL anyway I think I am going to start walking and loads of water I don't want to gain too much as I only gained 24 my last pregnancy. Anyway keep the comments coming ladies and hope all is well.

Hey everyone! So jealous of all of you who have had scans or will be having them this week. I still have ten more sleeps. I really wish it was this Wednesday instead of next.

Feeling okay here. Still quite tired and I'm getting a little fed up of the constipation and bloating (sorry for TMI). If they really do wait for you to have a bm post labour, I could well be in hospital an extra week!!

As of Thursday (my changeover day - I weigh myself once a week when I become a new fruit / veg) I had put on a grand total of 2.5lbs. I'm not very hungry still and I do think people are looking at me like I'm on a self imposed diet. I was with friends yesterday when OH asked me what I had eaten that day. Everyone got very judgemental when I told them. They couldn't believe I didn't have lunch. I don't miss meals per se, but quite often on a Saturday I run around, have a late breakfast and then grab a snack mid afternoon because I don't actually get hungry if I'm busy. Calorie wise this doesn't make me significantly down, because quite often the snack would end up being quite calorific - a muffin at a coffee shop, a bag of crisps, cheese and crackers etc. I think it would be better if I did put on a bit of weight, but at the same time, I really do struggle to force down food when I'm not hungry.

Good luck for your daughter's surgery. Will she be off school for a while?

Hi all,

Im not sure how much weight Ive put on as I havent had my weight checked since my 12 week scan but cant say Im bothered. Probably best they dont depress me by telling me lol

My bump has gotten alot firmer this week and Im sure that baby is now making its presence known as Ive been feeling some movement and little thumpy feelings over last 24 hours which is fab.

Ive been diagnosed as anaemic (shattered all the time) so Ive come off my prenatals and gone onto iron tablets for a few months to see if that makes me a bit less lethargic. Im tired but not sleeping too well at night so we shall see if this helps.

Apart from that Im doing fab and hope you all are too. Got my scan on Friday which Im looking forward to. If all goes well with it I reckon Im going to really start enjoying my pregnancy. xxx

NotNic-My daughter will probably be off a couple to a few days as I don't think she will be feeling up to going to school. As for what you eat no one should judge what you are doing or eating or anything. They don't know how you feel . Only you know how you feel. I sure hope you feel better soon. Sunshine-thats awesome you are starting to feel baby and I am sure all is well with your LO. Yeah I hate the scale as I am sure it will tell me unwanted info...lol. Glad all are doing well and can't wait to hear what you ladies are having

 

[kirsteen]

Woo I'm a mango too, canteloupe tomorrow yayayayaayayayayaya x Hows everything going? x

 

[Iamblessed]

kirsteen-Not fair your a canteloupe already!!! I am so read to be at that halfway mark but only 6 days and I will be. I am doing well just having a ton of back pain and tired and sickness rears its ugly head once in awhile. I guess the more pregnancies the more you fall apart. LOL oh well so goes it with age as well. Anyway how are you and good luck at your scan tomorrowAlso ladies if you'd like post your bump pics

 

[NotNic]

This is mine from this week. xx

 

[Iamblessed]

you are so adorable...love the bump!!Mine is huge I would be afraid to post...lol

 

[NotNic]

Thank you. It is my first though and I don't think I'm the norm ! I think Pip is standing up and leaning against my stomach! Every week I think how on earth does that fruit / veg fit in there?!

 

[NotNic]

Also the title of this thread now has me singing "Hey Mambo! Mambo italiano..."

 

[Iamblessed]

NotNic-LOL you crack me up sometimes but I always like reading your posts!!!

 

[hakunamatata]

Now that I'm 19 weeks, I'd have expected some kicks... haven't felt anything... last appointment though there was a really good heartbeat so I'm trying to not be nervous

Have all you ladies felt your mangoes kicking?

 

[Iamblessed]

I have been feeling baby alot the last 2 days but that really is it. She has been quiet for a long time but now she is showing me she has a good kick to her. I am sure all is well and just wait a few more days I am sure you will start to feel baby!! How are you doing otherwise?

 

[hakunamatata]

I'm okay!

Thanks for letting me know.

What about with your other kids?? When did they start squirming/kicking etc.?

 

[Iamblessed]

Some were super early and I know that my hub was telling me the other day with the last 2 that I didn't start feeling them alot until 20 weeks. Hang in there it will all be ok. Have you tried laying on your left side for a bit and drinking something with sugar? Those are the typical things that get baby to move or you can try giving your belly a small shake. DOn't get worried though if those don't help maybe baby is just a tiny one and also it may be the way your placenta sits or the way baby is positioned.

 

[hakunamatata]

Thanks hon I'll try to stop worrying.

I've poked my tummy (gently) a few times but I haven't tried laying on my side and drinking something sugary, will try that!

 

[NotNic]

I have felt odd sensations for the last 2 weeks which I think might be Pip, but I'm not sure. Until I see the kicks from the outside or someone else can feel them, I don't think I'll be convinced for sure. My best friend didn't feel a thing until 26wks so I wouldn't worry. xx

 

[Iamblessed]

NotNic-that is so true ! not everyone feels baby at the same time or even close to the same time. i am sure all is ok in there hakuna!!!how is everyone today?
