Congrats mel, we all told ya it would still be a girl:wink:
Thorz good luck tomorrow! No matter what I know you've got to be excited to see your LO again!!! I also have problems with hypoglycemia esp during pregnancy. My dr tells me to always have a granola bar with me to munch on when I feel dizzy.
Good luck tomorrow thorz! Hope u have pink news too! Thanks girls for all ur messages!
I've been getting a really sore pelvic bone when I walk, anybody else ever had it, I've never had it before . It's horrible !
Worth it for a little girlie though xx
My backs killing today I can hardly move ;/(
Congrats Mel, what a great news.
I also have sore pelvic bone and find myself limping when standing from sitting. Never had it before but I blame the office job. Sometimes it feels like a blocked nerve and it's quiet painful to mOve around.
Thorz can't wait for your news, I think it's a girl too!
so a personal question
do you guys get contractions after orgasm? i get a really nasy one everytime... im guessing maybe i will mention it to my dr next week... i know i had them with ds3 but i dont remember them bein this painful... it worrie me cause i dilate very super fast
yes not worryingly strong thou, i asume they are more like a braxton hicks but i've never got those do dunno ;-0
Yep I have gotten them during all 4 pregnancies after orgasms.
Congrats Mel!
Thorz, good luck. Are you nervous?
I am really getting nervous! Not really about it being a boy or a girl because I'm planning on boy! I'm nervous because I just really want him to be healthy!!! I'm also worried bub will be crossing the legs or something and I won't get a straight answer.....that's all I need for this gender roller coaster!
17 more hours!
I was nervous too, obviously not about gender but I felt like I was pushing my luck hoping for a fourth healthy child. I hope all is well.
Good luck Thorz thinking of you xx
Good luck for today thorz, really looking forward to your update :D
Wag no i cant say i do but then there hasnt been many this pregnancy :rofl:. I have been noticing alot more braxton hicks with this pregnancy and they started alot earlier. Thankfully they arnt painful (yet), i was in tears with them in the last few weeks with DS2 they were that painful.
We'll i've made a dint in baby shopping and have got a few clothes, a bath, towels and the footmuff to match the pram. I also think we have a name picked, just need to sort a middle name out. Oh and buying a new 7 seater car this weekend so finally getting things sorted and a bit less stress.
7 more hours until I head out the door for my scan!
And I'll be asleep! The other ladies will need to be on stalking duty. Good luck.
Ok ladies, I'm struggling!!! I guess I just need to hear that it is normal for me to feel this way. I have 2 of my closest friends who are pregnant right now too one of them is having her baby next week and the other is due 2 weeks before me. Anyhow both of my friends are very heavy set girls normally and I don't have an issue with that, I love them they are my dearest friends, but I find myself comparing my pregnancy weight gain to theirs. The one who is having her baby next week has only gained 12 lbs TOTAL and the other who is due Sept 15 has gained 0 lbs!!!! I know they don't mean to rub it in, but they seem to always be bragging about it and keep asking me, and what about you, how much have you gained??? I guess I shouldn't care. I am already pushing 12 lbs and I am really struggling with it!!! I know deep down it has a lot to do with my starting weight, because I am 5'5 and I got down to 100 lbs when I was doing the LE diet, so if you go by that then I have already gained 27 lbs YIKES!! But for my sanity, I am going by my average weight before I started the LE diet which was 115 lbs ugh either way, I feel like I am packing on the lbs and I really really need to stop comparing myself to my friends who haven't gained ANYTHING. But I guess it is just human nature. The reason I care so much is because I got absolutely HUGE with my last pregnancy, so much so that I wouldn't even look at the scale, so I don't know my total weight gain with that pregnancy.....I know it was more than 50 lbs. I was on bed rest for 5 months so I know that had a lot to do with it. I am on the verge of bed rest again!!! I am terrified of getting as big as I did last time. With my 1st two pregnancies, I gained the average 25 lbs, and I am ok with gaining 25-35 lbs but really really don't want to gain more than that. It's just so hard when you are on bed rest and can't move, and still have the same cravings and hunger a normal pregnant woman has!!!! Thanks for letting me vent!!!
My overweight friend didnt gain any weight so when she had her baby she was less than her start out... You can't compare to over weight people cause their weight gain expectations are a lot different than average people... Don't drive yourself crazy with that... Can't wait for your u/s sooooooo excited!
Thanks, I know you are right, but it is really hard when they seem to always ask me how much I've gained.
Just tell them you havnt weighed yourself... I actually put my scale in my closet so I'm too lazy to get it out to weigh myself so I only get to see at the drs.... It was soooo shocking last month when I gained 7lbs in that month! My next appt is next thurs and I'm pretty scared to see what the scale has to say...
Thats a good idea, maybe I will say that to them, because then they will probably stop asking.
ya and really i think they are doing it for their own ego boost lol cause they think that your gaining so much more than them but in reality your not
I agree with wag. I think girls only ask those questions to fuel their own insecurities. We all have insecurities. Weight being one that I'd say every girl has an issue with. Regardless of your size. We all want to be thinner, taller, more toned-whatever it may be. I have some friends that look amazing whilst pregnant. Only put on baby bump and once they've had baby they are back to normal size by the time they leave hospital. I'm normally a very slim person, but for whatever reason I balloon out while pregnant. It takes me close to 8-12months to slowly shed the weight. I always manage to get back to pre pregnancy weight (through a lot of hard work) but I get there between all my pregnancies. I tune out to those around me, I focus on knowing I am doing what is needed to grow a big healthy baby inside me. I then also have plenty of milk when I breast feed and don't jeopardise my supply by dieting once I've had the baby. It always comes off but so very slowly. Just focus on the big picture. Do what is needed to keep that baby growing beautifully. And every body's body will function differently. You shed the weight last time and you will do again
Ps-super excited about your scan!!! The day has finally come!! I too will be sleeping so look forward to the news when I'm up!!
Hope you get a pic to upload for us! x
Thorz- I'm really struggling with my weight gain as well. Like you I started out very underweight so I keep trying to remind myself I needed the extra pounds but its still so hard. If I go by my normal average weight then I've gained about 18lbs but going by my true starting weight I'm already up 35lbs at only 23 weeks! I always get down to my pre pregnancy size but it gets harder after each baby and I worry about it after this one.
As for your friends I agree with WAG and Salsa, I think they are trying to make themselves feel better by asking and I think telling them you just don't weigh yourself during pregnancy is a great way to make them stop asking.
Thinking of you today, can't wait for your update later!!
Thanks for cheering me up about my weight ladies, I'm feeding the boys lunch then I am off to my dr appt in 30 min!!! I'll update as soon as I get home!
Thorz, It is so hard when your closest friends are the ones that really enjoy your misery! I have a few like that too and even if they dont mean to be that way everything is always a competition! I think the other girls are right, maybe try just avoiding the topic all together. Or depending on how annoyed you get with hearing the remarks you might just kindly remind them of your starting weight when getting pregnant!! :)
WAG, at my appointment Tuesday I had gained 7lbs in the last month as well! Eeek...its always hard gaining weight no matter how much! Specially right now since we are only half way! I have only gained 20 lbs each in my previous pregnancies and Im already at 9 this time! Im actually excited to be pregnant through the summer though cuz I hope to stay pretty active!
Thorz any news!
I've gained tonns I think it was the release from Le combined with feeling better after 13wks MS and a bit of depression about stressful pregnancy I never way myself in pregnancy bubba is number one its insecurity if they're keepin on tbh they are probably just delighted for once they are relatively trimer than you - ignore I I suspect in a yrs time you'll be back in your jeans and they won't
Waiting waiting waiting! Hurry up anticipation is killing me ;)
Should be soon :D

I am beside myself crying happy tears! I don't know if I can believe it.....Here are a few of the pics she gave me. Dr was so excited for me, she got 7 different shots of it, and forgot to give me a pic of the actual baby lol. That is ok because she is gonna check again in 2 weeks just to be sure and to check on my placenta, it is still close enough to my cervix to make her anxious!!
