Size 28?????? My lord, I haven't worn that size since 7th grade!! You look great, Mocha!
Here, I will try to post my 13 wk "bump" (more like Mt. Everest!)Attachment 1857
Well, if it's any consolation, I have a healthy amount of back fat that hangs over those jeans....
When I was on the diet I was pretty skeletal, and I started to get used to that. Some of you may remember I went to a wedding in September and had to wear a Size 00 dress! I prefer having a little meat on my bones, and I'm definitely not a skinny person in real life. I have a substantial muffin top (which I blame on both carrying twins to term and having a c-section), jiggly arms, and wide hips. One thing I'm definitely enjoying about my new shape is my big boobs! They practically disappeared when I was on the diet - I went from a C cup to an A - but now they're HUGE. I don't remember my boobs getting quite this huge this early in pregnancy before, and they're also incredible sore all the time.
That's a gorgeous belly, Hobber!
5-i have the same tummy like you .I REALLY do! But it's just all fat for me .That's what the great HE diet did to me...
mocha-you look so thin im jealous.
purple-im sorry about your DH. Hope he get better soon!
hobber -you look nice I don't think that's huge.
for me Im still feeling sick and don't want to be pregnant at all...so sad ....sometimes I throw up (sorry) and it's like pure vinegar and lot's of bubble. I tried tums but it's not helping me at all I don't know what else to try. :tissue:
I'm so sorry, Flava :hugs:
Sorry if this is a little gross, but when I had bad m/s with my twins I found it was easier to induce pre-emptive vomit before something triggered my gag reflex and made me throw up unexpectedly. I started every morning by drinking a giant glass of cold water. It ALWAYS made me throw up almost immediately, but at least I was throwing up cold water instead of stinging bile. Then I'd feel better for long enough that I could eat something for breakfast, and with something in my stomach I could usually get through most of the day feeling ok until about suppertime. Then I'd go through the routine again: drink a big glass of water, throw up, then feel better for the rest of the evening.
Oh you poor barfing ladies! That sounds horrible. :( I just feel like I am going to barf, but never do. It isn't very bad this time, but it is sort of like an underlying ickiness that just doesn't go away.
SO maybe some of you saw my thread about the amnio (flava, I know you responded to it). I am starting to worry about getting it done. I really want to be sure the baby is healthy, but I am concerned about the amnio causing a miscarriage. I read a few scary threads on babycenter. I need to decide by April 16th because that's when the procedure is scheduled for. :worry:
The thing is, if the baby has downs we wouldn't be keeping it (I hope that doesn't offend anyone, sorry) so I think I really do need to know. Not that I could very easily decide not to keep a baby at 16 weeks!! Ugh, this is why I should have had the CVS. :(
It's a tough decision, Hobber. I'm waiting to see the results from my blood tests and if they recommend amnio after that I'd consider it. I'm really praying those results come back normal, though, because I don't want to have to face any tough decisions.
That's the thing--my tests were pretty good. The nurse at the office where they do the amnio was sort of surprised I wanted one. But she was the same lady that was horrified when I started talking about why I wanted a CVS, for early detection, just in case we didn't want to continue with the pregnancy. I know many people would keep a baby no matter what, and if we were financially better off and it was my first or second child, I might consider it, but I have 3 other kids that need my attention... I just think a downs baby is more than we can handle with our life now. I feel terrible saying that. :(
