How are you going TTC5?

Great belly pics ladies! Mine isn't too big in the morning but it gets bigger during the day!

[Mochagirl]

Yes, I was wondering about you too TTC5. Still on bedrest? Any more spotting?

[pinkin2011]

mine is not really very big yet either.. Feeling alot more movement tho which is nice. Still cant think of any names its so hard picking a name!

[Hobbermittens]

Pinkin, I wish I had that "problem" (being small)--I am so huge! I wish I wasn't! I am so uncomfortable. I can't imagine how I will be able to even MOVE by October!

I can echo the body image stuff.

With my first pregnancy I started at 150 and by this point last time I was 175; at delivery I was 204. THIS time, I started around 135 (during the fall I had been a lean/toned 127, the LE diet actually made me bloated and gain weight) and now I'm 163. I hope I can slow down my gain a little bit...I'm just so hungry all of the time. My bump sticks out a TON! My mom likes to compare me to a gal that she works with (she's about a month ahead of me).

I had my 24 week OB appointment today and it went well. I'm measuring a little ahead (just like with DS1) and my doctor commented on how active the baby was (I had already told her that I was feeling this one move ALL of the time!). My blood pressure is awesome and 98/50...they always tease me about how I'm barely alive.

[Hobbermittens]

Lynxie--you blood pressure is low! Mine is usually low too, but not as low as yours!

So I just fell (tripped) walking into the house. I can't believe I am such a klutz! The step was gone from in front of the door, since we are having the house painted, and while trying to swing my leg up high enough to get inside, I caught my flip flop on the doormat and fell. I think my shin took the brunt of it, and I caught myself with my hands, and I didn't hit my belly--but should worry? They always ask at the doctor if I have had any falls recently.

[laughinglynxie]

Hobber, for some reason mine goes down a bit while pregnant - I'm normally in the 110s/60s.

I totally fell off a curb my first pregnancy (mostly knees, but looked like a nerd and rolled onto my back and probably looked like a turtle)! I just paid attention to how baby was "acting" for the next few days and never had an issue.

[Hobbermittens]

So far the baby is moving just fine. My leg is so bruised up, and my ankle hurts too--I am a wreck! I am afraid that by tomorrow I will be all stiff and sore! I just need to be more careful, I guess.

My first pregnancy, I ran over my own foot with a car (way too long a story to explain). It hurt so badly! I am a complete moron and klutz when pregnant.

Loving all the fab bump pics ladies and Mocha love that pic of your lil girl, so cute. I love the 3d/4d pics.

Pinkin so glad your feeling you little man oving more, i too am getting more movement which is nice. I feel him more in the evening when all boys are in bed and i get to finally sit and rest for abit.

I get so clumsy in pregnancy dropping stuff and do silly stuff like put stuff in the fridge that doesnt belong in there...like polish etc...just silly thing. In DS1 pregnancy i went out and went to phone DH pulled out my mobile only to realise i brought home telephone out instead of my mobile

Well i took my nan out shopping yesterday as we have a party to go to and nothing to wear and obviously we saw some baby clothes and cant believe she said it but she said 'i wish baby was a girl, we could get her some cute clothes' i mean really come on nan, thanks for that, how insensitive! I just bit my tongue and ingnored her why do people just not think before they say something??!! ARGH!

[auroara78]

sorry to hear that HappyLea...that kind of stuff is a stab in our heart!

Hobbers, I am glad to hear baby is moving good. You stiff today?

When preg with DS1 I was makking homemade mancotti and was a bit upset when I was making it, so I put the plastic lid on top of it and threw it in the oven. Well I was too hormonal to notice but a weird smell was coming out of the oven, along with smoke, ...my DH came home and found that I had made "plasticotti" lol the plastic lid completely melted over the mancotti! Not only could we not eat it, the whole apt. stunk!
