****December 2014 mums to be! Christmas babies!!*****

[Rose83]

Everyone is very quiet today - must be because it's Friday!

So I was really brave this morning and got on the scales...which has actually made me pretty happy because although I started out overweight I have since then only put on what you are expected to have put on by this stage which is good news! I've actually been feeling like some of my weight has shifted around a bit this week - I'm not feeling quite so podgy in the arms and legs and feel like the weight is all in my bump so maybe there is hope for me to not become a whale by the end of this! X

You are so brave Rose! I've been so scared as I can just feel I've put in a sack of weight!!
Xx

 

[SaraLouise]

I'm still only 1lb up.. Not a clue how?! Lol, I just stuff my face all day with cake & fizzy pop & bump is the size of a whale so not a clue lol x

 

[Goat]

Oh Sara how I envy you!!!!

 

[SaraLouise]

I think its probably linked to my surgery that I had when I was 5 weeks, one of the side effects was "unexplained weightloss" but I'm counteracting it with pregnancy & chocolate hahahaha x

 

[Rose83]

Oh if only I had only put on a pound! I've definitely put on the 11 or so pounds that my pregnancy book suggests is about right for 17 weeks x

 

[Cariad Bach]

I'm up 3lbs now. I was only 1lb up to two weeks ago and put 1lb on and I've put another on this week so finally I'm catching up. My bump has certainly made an appearance this week and I'm looking quite round from under bust now. I'll be giggling to myself when the academics look at me slightly strangley in work today as it's our graduation day and lots of them don't know yet I'm pregnant - he he! Will they or won't they ask I wonder!

Hi ladies I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself! For a week now I had bad stomach pains felt icky nd jus felt there was something up with my bladder! I work in a care home so the nurse tested my urine nd I had high levels of leucocytes and nitrates also had bilirubin protein nd traces of blood doc thinks UTI so I'm on antibiotics nd they've sent my pee for further analysis as they said they need to monitor the protein levels?? Ah well nd I hav a really busy day ahead at work sniff xx

 

[knopk@]

I think i am about 3 lbs up at nearly 17 weeks, it was a lot more in previous pregnancies though. Breastfeeding is great for shifting the weight though

 

[Baker_Baby]

Hi everyone! I'm stuck in traffic on a coach full of kids coming back from our school trip in France. I've survived not too tired yet. Only thing is I'm not really feeling any movements yet I'm 19 weeks tomorrow with my first. My midwife said I wouldn't feel anything til 20 weeks but everyone else is talking about movements and now I'm worried. Anyone else the same?

 

[wifeywifey]

Baker don't worry it depends on lots of things such as your weight and placenta position. With my second I was nearly 20 weeks. You sure you not dismissing movement as gas?

 

[Baker_Baby]

Could be! Or maybe it's because I've been too busy this past week to notice?

 

[wifeywifey]

I never notice movement when im busy usually when im laid in bed I notice

 

[knopk@]

Just one sleep to go! Keep your fingers crossed so the baby plays ball and we find out who is hiding in there

 

[Cazzie11]

Hope everything's ok Yvonne! Sure it is nothing to worry about. I'm having real twinges today, maybe it's baby or just me expanding, who knows?! I suddenly feel quite heavy, like my skin wants to stretch but can't!

Had an incident with a kid in my class, he got really angry at me and I actually felt really scared! If I wasn't pregnant, I would've been ok but suddenly everything is a threat! I stupidly chased after him and everyone told me off, but I just reacted. So glad it's Friday!

 

[Cariad Bach]

I've only felt movements when stretched out and playing real attention so don't worry. My skin is getting quite tight now around belly button area. I hate belly buttons they somehow make me shudder lol. Mine is now stretched so I have a rather large hole for a belly button. I don't know what I'll be like when it goes inside out! Gross! Lol

I'm starving tonight! Making pasta, chicken and salad and will demolish the lot I'm sure now.

 

[Baker_Baby]

I'm finally back from the school trip to France and I'm shattered! Planning a night lying on the sofa, watching One Born Every Minute, eating pizza and drinking non alcoholic beer! Happy Friday everyone

 

[nikb]

I had such a long day today. 7.30am start so was there just after 7am. Didn't leave work til about 6.30pm. Shattered is not the word!

So had a takeaway, watching a movie and just chilling out.

Good luck for tomorrow knopk. X

Cazzie you do have to be careful. X

Baker_Baby enjoy. Hope you had a good time though x

 

[nikb]

Afternoon all. It's quiet on here today. About to have a quick tidy up and then go and see the Harley Davidson event nearby.

Knopk what time is your scan? Good luck x

Hope you're all having a good day x

 

[Rose83]

Excited to hear how Knopk's scan goes!

I'm feeling very tired and unmotivated today. Also I have unusual feelings in my lower abdomen, kind of like I've pulled a muscle or like the muscles are stretching. Guess it's just normal pregnancy stuff, just feels weird! X
