1HR GTT test failed which I expected. The horrid 3 hour is on the 26th I fully expect to throw it up like last time. I was lower this time than last which could be a number of factors but last time I never felt CLOSE to this bad. This time I was 165 last time I was 181. Never would have been able to tell last time!
I didnt get moon face last time but I sure as heck did this time. I also seems I have put on more weight this time but that's probably due to me not working like I was with DS. I am at a 10lb gain (4.5kg) for my entire pregnancy so far (27/5) with 10-12 more weeks to go! DS was 2 weeks early so I expect the trend to continue.
I feel huge - but in a different way. With DS I was mostly belly - and I am this time too but I know that i'm wider than before - and I know this because my maternity pants fit differently this time than before. As in tighter.
But it's ok because I prayed for a girl and said I would get fat and ugly and feel like crap... anything to have a girl. LOL
I do not envy you maternity clothes buyers in the slightest! I wear athletic pants and go up one shirt size if I have to and Im done lol
Thread crashing ladies! Question: what do you, or have you used, to prevent stretch marks?
The company no longer makes what I used with DS1, and Palmers wasn't my favorite (but did the job!) with DS2.
Thanks ladies!!!

So my scan was moved forward one day from the 25 to the 26th, typical!
I'm so anxious to find out if I'm getting my DG now! feels like I've waited forever and I haven't been able to really bond with the baby or feel excited about having another baby without knowing the gender. Did/do you ladies feel the same way?
I did. I wanted to get my excitement/disappointment out of the way so I could enjoy the rest of my pregnancy or have enough time to cope with the opposite and be happy about his arrival. I drove 2 hours for a 20 minute elective scan and then 2 hours back home I was that determined!
Xx I use bio oil!! Works great!

Happy my scan is on the 26th too! We know we are having a boy, but, of course, I still have that little doubt of what if the tech was wrong?!!! Lol. Hopefully it's just me being ridiculous.
I'm the same...just hoping they confirm girl straight away at mine! My scan day is the 30th so just over a week to wait. Hope your boy is confirmed and you can relax more.Quote:

I've gained 8 lbs between 20-24 weeks (OMG) and I'm already experiencing a little bit of discomfort (harder to get up off the ground , harder to bend over while cleaning up after DS, nearly impossible to chase him, etc). At 20 weeks I took a vacation to the west coast and felt great walking 3-5 miles everyday. Now at 24 weeks I've had to really start slowing down!Quote:

Should we do bump shots ladies?
Do it!! X
Attachment 24394 my huge 24 week twin bump!
OMG ! Super cute Blair!! Xxx
You are sweet, but it's anything but cute :) I had a cute bump for literally 2 weeks this time before it got huge! When people ask when I'm due I always say "July, but with twins" so they don't judge my huge bump as much, lol.Quote:

In other news little miss is actually going at it so hard in there she has kicked herself a spot that will actually make me scream and stop whatever I am doing if she hits that spot. Sign of a healthy strong baby but YEOUCH! My DS never had painful kicks
My bump at 22 weeks. Goodness help me when I'm 40 weeks http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...a87f0f505b.jpg
Adorable bump boysway! I'm so jealous :)
Oh such cute bumps, ladies!
I'm trying to play catch-up, here, but have been limiting my online time a lot, but I always read up on you all!
Nahri- I hope that you are ok and able to mange the GD well. That has got to be difficult, but you will feel better, hopefully and not so tired. I have been feeling really tired nd no energy lately...but I was not eating well for a few days, ok I was eating crap and therefore felt like it. As soon as I straightened up over the past couple of days, I am finally feeling much better. I need to avoid the junk carbs altogether or I am a bear. My poor family. I've never had GD, but have felt so awful, so moody that reading your post made me realize I need to be more careful in what I eat!
I am using Bio Oil for stretch marks, although I never had a huge issue with them, but do hve few-I have a few just at my waist line and down to the bikini area. I also have used Fold Bond Extra Dry skin lotion out of absolute desperation from the itchiness I was having on my tummy from the stretching. I normally will not use chemical lotions, but it was such a relief for me!
I'm 26 weeks tomorrow and I feel so huge, as well! I have only gained 7 lbs so far, but I always lose weight in the beginning, so that is why, partially. I try to eat healthy, but I also cannot fit much in my stomach from the time I can finally eat normally, it seems. I am feeling like I have to roll to get up from bed, squatting all the way to the floor to pick up anything is a chore and tums are my friend because I have heartburn so often, now. She kicks me hard like my first son did and is awake as soon as I go to bed, of course! I started feeling more consistent movements around 18 weeks but it significantly increased around 20, so do not worry if you don't feel a lot before then. I was very worried, as well and started looking online and asked my OB, who said it's totally normal. Oh, and the moon face...I do feel quite chubby looking in the face and I look tired and old :( but, I agree it is worth it:)
Nahri- I'm with you. I only have three pairs of decent pants that are maternity pants and I buy L-XL sized shirts with a cute belt very often in place of maternity shirts.and they are so expensive. In that case I hit the Target clearance section and have found the cutest stuff.
Wishing you all a wonderful week and happy Spring in the N hemisphere:) , by the way!
Here is my 18 weeks bump! :)

Hi ladies thought I'd check in been reading but was too upset to talk but I'm ok now ii tried shopping again and it didn't go to plan still upset the jihad a long chat with my man and said how can I get excited if he wasn't and its making me worse and he replied he was super excited about having his first son what man wouldn't be .....I felt so relieved then and he explained that he didn't want to rub my face it as id not had my desired gender after many tears and hugs I'm doing great went shopping again and bam hundreds of pounds later new pushchair clothes in fact everything except a steriliser hee hee ....... and we have named him as well so all is real and feeling good bless my better half though he said I can see why you wanted to sway etc and it's more of a need than a want for me to have a girl so he's saving for pgd for us so i feel hopeful , lovely bumps ladies ......oh and we've picked Nyle Kenneth as his name Kenneth after my grandad ......wishing you all well ladies
Angel pink
How lovely to hear you are coping so well and what a wonderful husband to be so supportive!
I hope I will be able to do the same if I don't hear girl on Thursday!
Honestly he is he shocked me as he has 3 girls so I didn't think he would be fussed but he is he even phoned the clinic in Cyprus already now I'm on slimming world to be healthy and good weight range and he's back to none smoking to keep the swimmers up I really hope everyone gets there desired gender to save them from the feelings I had I was speaking to a midwife about same sex families and she said usually it's 3-4 then an opposite is thrown in and I'm very unusualQuote:

I've found I can have it for lunch just not first thing in the morning. I miss fruit mostly because the majority of the stuff I like eating is either higher in sugar or its a carb fruit. So just small pieces as snacks :( But it will all be worth it in the end so I don't
measure ahead or pop out a small moose instead of a 7lb like my DS was.
angel-pink so glad to hear you have found your upswing and have a supportive DH it really does make all the difference!
What is it with you skinny pregnant ladies?
I am huge, almost 27 weeks. This is baby #4 and its certainly different with a boy. I am all out front, looks like I'm smuggling basketballs around.
Bluebonnet, you do not look like you are having twins.
Boysway, I look so much bigger than you! You look great!
And Ugee...you barely look prego.
Missxo, you look great, I can't imagine what this must be like with 2 babies!
I gained 20lbs on the HE diet for almost 2 years so I felt like a piggy before I started getting a massive bump. Now I just feel massive all around. People tell me I look good, but no one in their right mind is going to tell a pregnant woman she looks bad.
I have a picture but its on my phone and I can't post it now. I can post later.
Glad to see everyone is growing so well. This baby is quite squirmy. Dh keeps asking if the girls were this active, I honestly don't remember that kind of stuff. But it does seem like the heartburn, tiny stomach space, and loose pelvic muscles have kicked in a lot faster this time around!
I'm feeling fragile today. So I thought I might pull out bubs things to pick up my mood. I think I have a problem! Excuse the messy bedside tables. I have clothes from 00000-00. I also have another 4 onesies and two boxes of red nose baby wipes on lay-by. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...9eead1d6ef.jpg
You soooo deserve to spoil yourself and your little guy Boysway XQuote:

The pride of my girl purchases was her winter pram/snowsuit/bunting (whatever you want to call it) for next year. This is standard transportation clothing for us in the winter!

Thanks ladies :D I wouldn't bring a baby home without the sound and movement monitor. I had one for my last two kids. Now I can try and type up an inventory.
This is me at 18 weeks. I just recovered from another stomach bug and I feel like the bump has gotten smaller in those days! Overall I'm lighter than when I was expecting DS but I did gain about 5 kg since week 10.Attachment 24426
Here is me at 24 weeks today with baby girl! I am so much bigger than with DS at this same week... But I feel like I'm wider this time. Ugh! I have another US in 3 weeks to check position cause I'm not feeling a ton of movement and my OB is really good about reassuring me. I'm excited to see her in another 3 weeks! Heartrate was 142 today. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...00f89a4d5e.jpg
