Roll-call!! Due June/July/August 2013

You have a good reason apart from the cyst to gain more weight though....TWINS!

True! But still, I'm supposed to gain 24 pounds by 24 weeks, so I'm already over the recommended weight gain for twins! I just hope some of this is still fluid - I honestly haven't been eating too badly. Not bad enough to gain 13 pounds already! LOL


ETA: I also wanted to add that on a different message board I frequent, I saw a pic the other day of a woman who also had a ruptured cyst and had lots of fluid in her abdomen for awhile afterwards. She looked huge and bloated in the beginning, but her fluid was supposedly so bad that they had to go in and drain it. She looked WAY smaller in her next picture (several weeks later), even though she was much further along. Crazy!

Wow! that must be it then....it's def the cyst

Exactly!!! It was a huge change in diet once we got BFP and I know the first couple weeks I totally splurged and had all the foods I couldn't while dieting lol when she said 6 I was actually impressed! I also cut out "diet" foods cause the artificial sweeteners etc! It's hard not to eat the super yummy stuff when pregnant!!
And dreaming - I haven't had to get out maternity clothes or bras yet, I only had to wear a couple maternity shirts last preg so I don't even have any really! But ill tell you this, my shirt sure doesn't always teach my pants like it used to. And that is not a pretty sight. My bellaband will be coming out in about a week I think! My boobs also have suddenly grown in the last 2 days!!
What do you ladies do for stretchmarks?? I was uber lucky, I didn't get stretchmarks till 39 weeks last preg and so I don't have very many, they are somewhat faded. When do you start putting stretchmark cream on? Anyone have a favourite cream? Around here it seems "bio oil" is really popular but I cannot take the SMELL ick!!!

I have 3 kids and not 1 single stretchmark :-)
Ive gone from a size 6 to a size 14 ( which isnt big but i am only 5 foot 1 and very petite )
This isnt as great as it sounds though because i have very elasticated skin that means that instead of strectch marks now I will have to suffer saggy skin when i get old - Im going to be one of those old women that tucks there boobs and belly into their waist band !!! I think id rather have stretchmarks !!

Hi ladies! I just wanted to stop in and say hello. I haven't been able to get on as I had to go to the ER for my wrist. After a handful of X rays I was diagnosed with tendonitis. So I have to wear a hand brace and go through PT. Rest assured...I will be back as soon as my wrist will allow. I miss you ladies! I will try to come update after my prenatal on Thursday.

[Mommyof3boys]

I know, surely they could improve the fragrance.. It reminded me of fly spray when I used it..

Wow, that is crazy.. How big are these cysts I wonder?! Must be uncomfortable too. Poor woman..
