No news is good news with the gtt I got mine the next day :/ so if your still waiting it's good news I'd say xxx

 

[HanSam]

Yup that is what i thought thanks.

Quick one did we hear that Georgie20 got on ok with her scan she went for as measuring small? Havent seen anything in here just wondered if i missed her update? x

 

[mum2b410]

No- don't think there's been an update!...... Not heard from Magdalena in a while either so hope she is ok x

 

[coco_cukoo]

Just weighed myself & put on 5 bloody stone since booking in at 8 weeks. What the actual f@!k?! I'm mortified! I'm gonna start today & eat well now. No more crap. �� xx

Re Georgie she updated in a desperate post all was fine just a small baby xxx

 

[HanSam]

Ah glad to hear thanks keeptrying. Missed that one.

coco - you shouldnt have stepped on the scales. Thats my theory from now on if i don't know the exact digits i cant wind myself up. Its good to eat healthy but is easier said than done especially whilst pregnant lol. I would just say don't worry too much can start shifting after bubs is here! Also if bf it does come off quite quickly to start with x

 

[coco_cukoo]

I know...I lost 7 stone in 8 months breastfeeding & slimming world first time round but now I haven't got a gall bladder I'm stuffed arrrgh haha xx

 

[mum2b410]

I missed that too! Good news for her though!

Coco- I am dreading my next weigh in! It doesnt stop me completely eating the wrong thing but it does reign me in a bit!..... U never know how much of that weight is actually water retention, fat stores for breastfeeding and baby! U may just b someone that puts on a lot in pregnancy! Don't be too hard on yourself hun please- I out on 4 first time round and managed to lose it- u will too!! Xx

 

[mum2b410]

Posted at the same time!!.... There u go- u know u can do it! Have faith in yourself hun xxx

I'm just not thinking about it...... Sat eating a huge slice of chocolate cake with whipped cream

 

[coco_cukoo]

Haha! Don't talk to me about cake - that's what got me into this flabby mess!! I'm worried cos now I'm in the obese range & higher risk of complications! Nothing I can do about it now I know so just have to be extra sensible last 8 weeks & have a walk a day xx

 

[Lilmisshopeful]

I've only gained 8lb and am getting told off. Embrace the weight gain lol like others said can easily be lost after xxx

 

[alanc]

I know what you all mean I've also been putting on a few pounds because of the pregnancy

 

[keeptrying14]

I don't really know what mine Is or how they work it out. I was 10st 7 before pregnancy then with sickness I went down to 8st 9 then last month went bk to 10 st 7 and now I'm 12! So do they ignore the weight loss or count it? If we r counting from weight loss it puts me just over 2st or if it's from pre pregnancy weight it's 1st? Very confusing!! Haha Alan my hubby has actually put on more than me since I couldn't stand cooking for 5 months he are take always and pizzas think he has put on about 2st!! Xxx

 

[mum2b410]

I think its v easy for men to gain weight when their partner is pregnant! Only a few pounds is pretty good going Alan! X

I'm enjoying some cheese cake. I'm in Leeds 10 so not far at all MIL lives in new farnley so we go around your area a lot! Are you at LGI?

 

[Mummy bear]

Had my Anti D injection, something else that has changed since my last baby 7 years ago. I was injected into my arm and not my bum didn't even notice it

All was fine good heart beat at midwife today and measured 28 so spot on. Spoke to them about my horrendous back pain as it goes in my bum and leg. She thinks it's SPD or sciatica so has referred me to Physio but she says it takes a few weeks. I'm worried don't want to have to give up working yet but I'm struggling to sit, walk or sleep.
When is everyone planning on finishing for maternity?

 

[keeptrying14]

Hey mummybear how was the anti d? I got mine nxt week and getting scared It will hurt!! I know I have got to go thro labour soon but such a woss with injections!! X

 

[Zoe S]

mum2b yes i have prescription for gaviscon first thing i did! Ha suffered from very start with it xx
heard nothing about my gtt though i was at work half the day but id imagine I'm fine xx
mummy bear where abouts in your arm did they do your anti d? Only asking as mine put it right in my shoulder and it hurt alot more than normal and I'm no wuss with these things x I'm actually dreading having another xx sorry keeptrying don't want to scare you got a feeling it was just the midwife i had she didn't seem very competent! Hardlytalked me through anything! Xxx

Morning all. Sounds like everyone's been busy. I'm with you on the discomfort and weight gain.

We've just been to north wales for 2 days for a little break, walking places was hard work, but it was lovely to have a mini break. Back to more DIY before work on Monday! Sis is coming over with crib I got on eBay on Sunday though, so that'll be nice.

20 days left at work, 4th July is my last day - I love the irony of it being US Independence Day, though it's more like last of my independence till little one arrives.

Hope you have good days and it's not too thundery / rainy where you are
