Wow 2lb im jealous! Ive put on about a stone and a half

I think the next few weeks will go a bit quicker once babies start arriving x

 

[Flickalicious]

Remember your baby weighs around 5.5-6lb by now, plus the weight of the placenta, amniotic fluid, extra blood AND water retention (if you have swollen ankles) and increased size boobiedoos
My sister gained over 2 stone when she had her baby in Sept and after birth dropped it and then some instantly! She's smaller and lighter now than she was before pregnancy. Don't worry too much I'm sure you'll be pleasently surprised

Im eating a family sized bag of coconut mushrooms and drinking full fat pepsi with pom bears (multipack) sat right next to me if that helps any? xXx

MrsT I am so relieved and happy for you

Try again...

Thank you all for your kind words. I got given a diabetes home monitor on Friday and have to do it several times a day. I have to take the results with me to another consultant appt on Tues at 3pm to see if they want to move my induction forward but I don't have any hopes that they will. I also had a fantastic councling session with a consultant midwife Friday and she has made me feel so much better about my anxieties she is now my voice for my labour needs and is writing up a letter detailing everything that the midwife who delivers and the other midwife son shift need to know about me and how best to care for me so I am a happy bunny xxx
I still need to be added to the Facebook page please girls Jennifer Elliott my profile is a bump pic side on in grey top xxx

 

[JnyFer]

I have put on exactly a stone since first weighing myself at beginning of pregnancy and this is the heaviest I have ever been in my life but I'm not bothered at the moment. I will worry about my body after he is born and we are settled xx

Cosmo - my breech bub only turned the other day around 36 weeks so there is still time. I joined up with the Facebook page uk breech births and it was really interesting. I had been doing lots of diving down and handstands in the pool, plus had a go at moxibustion. I was really not wanting a c section so am over the moon it has turned. Good luck.

Thanks love I'll check out the fb page. I do feel positive the baby will still turn. Had the acupuncture yesterday, was so weird but interesting and glad I done it. Defs going to get to the pool this week and try some handstands xxx

 

[mrsjohnson88]

Thanks Flick, im not overly stressed about losing the baby weight but its good to know it is possible to get back to normal after!

That's brill news jnyfer, glad you had a positive experience and are feeling more settled about stuff.

Hope baby turns for you cosmo!

Has anyone got any nice plans for today? I feel that our weekends free are numbered so should really make the most of them and do something nice but not sure what! Xx

 

[jazz1984]

Great news Mrs t! So pleased for you both . Glad your session went well jnyfer!

I am due 2nd of February so could be paired with a late one maybe? Mind you think she is going to be late lol. How should we do this? Use an excel sheet and pair people? Otherwise it's a bit like being picked for the school sports team .

I've put on 2 stone, but am all belly nothing else so I'm not worried... Think it will be the least of my worries when she comes! We've also settled on a name but am keeping it a secret as we haven't kept anything else secret and besides there's still a chance she may not look like a xxxxx

 

[mrsjohnson88]

Sounds like a good plan Jazz. we just need a list of everyone who wants to be involved then someone to organise the pairs. I can go back through and see whos put thier name down as a first step! X

 

[jazz1984]

I think the first page has us on with our due dates? We could pop into excel? Haven't got excel on iPad but am happy to do this at work Monday if no one else wants to? Has anyone joined since then who is not on list or has anyone's dates changed ladies?

 

[mrsjohnson88]

Ok been through and potential bump buddies so far are:

Mrsjohnson88
Jazz1984
Blondy13
Beckyboo1
Pip0902mj
Rachel11
Brumgirl81.

Apologies if i have missed anyone, ive just have a quick flick through the old posts. Anyone else want to be added?? And does anyone want to take responsibility for the pairing?? Xx

 

[mrsjohnson88]

Oh sorry jazz just seen your post! Yes excel sounds like a good plan. I wasnt sure if everyone wanted to be involved or not which is why ive gone through to see who specifically said they would

 

[Zoe_helen25]

If u want me to add things to list let me know and I will help as much as I can me and Helen are gonna be each other buddies as I'm good at updating u xx

 

[Starlight1986]

Oops sorry have had a busy few days. I'm happy to be a bump buddy also!!!

I'm due the 9th of feb...but I was 10 days late with my first lol. Hoping this one is on time x

 

[jazz1984]

Good idea mrsjohnson! Let's put those on and start Monday with pairing, that way people can let us know if they want to be added to the list ( although it can be added to at any time tbh!)

 

[Baby_C]

I'm abnormal with my only putting 2lbs on, I was overweight to begin with and am now eating less than before, I was also ill and lost 10lbs at the start of my pregnancy. Midwife says that basically baby is gaining weight and I'm loosing it which is why it isn't changing much, I'm hoping to be a size 8 after having the baby haha! I wouldn't worry about it too much, one of my (slim) friends due in April has put on over a stone already and you can't see that she has on at all, must be all baby which I'm sure is he case for you too.

If I was to be a bump buddy I wouldn't want responsibility for someone who may go end of Jan as I'm still working until the end of jan so wouldn't be able to update all day. Is it just a case of posting on this thread when we hear from them? Sorry for the questions that have probably already been asked!

 

[Baby_C]

Here is my 35 week bump from yesterday.

 

[mrsjohnson88]

Lovely bump babyC. I think that's basically what being a bump buddy entails...ive volunteered myself not really knowing but I have plenty of time on my hands atm and think it will be really exciting hearing everyones labour stories as they progress x

 

[MrsT2711]

I would of offered to pair up with someone but without sounding selfish with 3 weekly hospital appointments and then when he gets here its gonna be a few days of tests and neonatal care I'm probably not the most reliable of bump buddies lol.

Be lovely to hear how everyone else progresses tho

Xxx
