General stuff really!

Hey guys, tri 2 is looking a bit empty so thought id add

question: im usually a size 12 bottom half. I bought size 12 maternity jeans at new look, and the blooming things dont fit me around the thigh area! any ideas on if i need to go up a size? i dont want t0 be a size 14 tho, as im never usually bigger than a 10 (not meant to cause offence, just my size issues i have sometimes) anyone got any good ideas?

Also, any cravings coming out yet?? mine are rice krispies, lemons (i can eat them like no tomorrow) and peanut butter. lol totally random mix of things! I feel like i just get urges for these things (not together lol)!

im 14 weeks today anyone get a bump at this time? i havent got one yet!

xx

Hey hun....i got the same problem. I was a size 8/1 in my first pregnancy, bought pair size 1 andt hey got stuck on my thighs. I just think some of us have a tendency to put it on more around our waists, or could just be the fitting of the that particular jean. I would go and try the next size see how u feel, or then look at another store?! Dont worry tho its normal.
TBH i dont have any particular cravings...just LOVE cheese lol so got to be quite careful not to go over board!
With my pregnancies being quite close i did get a lil bump at 14 weeks, am 24 weeks tomorrow, so nice showing bump now and loving it!!!
You going to find out what your having???? so exciting hey...is it ur first??? goodluck hun xx

 

[flexilexi394]

thanks for reply! lol. yeah going to find out what im having, scan is sometime in september (have to check diary!) and i cant bloody wait! once i know the sex i think ill start buying things. indeed my first! and a little unsure with what to expect! im sure its all fun and games really lol xx

 

[all_iz_well]

ul love it trust me....sooo exciting i love having scans...im havin growth scans so get to see my LO quite often yay.....

 

[flexilexi394]

ahh thats really cool! why do they do growth scans? lucky thing, i loved my first scan! xx

 

[all_iz_well]

I suffer from a condition called lupus...just a form of arthiritis and immume system is weak, but controlled with medication. It can affect the babys growth, so just to keep an eye on the LO, fine by me tho LO was fine with growth last time though. U have to have a medical reason for the growth scans and they usually occur every 4 weeks.
Ul be fine though, just look forward to ur 20 week scan...and hopefully he/she will be in a happy mood to show u its sex , they can be very naught sometimes lolxxx

 

[flexilexi394]

ahh that must be hard for you, but i guess as long as bambino is growing ok, all is well!! yeah i obv have to prepare for not being able to find out, so if i cant, it will just have to be a surprise! all very exciting, when did you start buying things? xx

 

[all_iz_well]

my MIL away for week so just was on phone to her!!

I lost my DS last year after 40 hours full term pregnancy due to complications during labour. I gave alot of clothes and things away after he passed away in hospital in the prenatal unit so could come to use to lil ones born. It was the hardest experience ever. We did keep the nursery things we bought. So really with buying anything else im going to wait until my lil bubba is born and il make a list and my hubbie and MIL can start gettings things then.

Wen u starting to shop hun??? lots of girls have bought so many things....so exciting xx

 

[Rayoflight]

Ah all iz well, I just cried at that. Really really sorry to hear that and I'm wishing you all the best for this little one. Our due dates are only 2 days apart. xxx

 

[LilyMac]

Ah I love going for scans, they are the best thing in the world!!
I keep getting sent early for mine for some reason n then end up having to go back two weeks later so they can check everything properly, which is great cause I get to see LO lots
Had my 20 week scan on sat and we found out we're having a boy, was an amazing feeling, but yet again we have to go back in couple weeks so they can see everything better!

My bump has been massive from about 14 weeks, which is great cause I love looking pregnant

Havent had any cravings yet other than chips, all i ever want is chips!!

xx

[Rayoflight]

I am originally from Lancashire but married a scouser so settled in Liverpool (and love it!).

Currently working far too much, eating far too much crap and still being sick so not having the best time! Got a week off soon though which I'm really looking forward to as I can't wait to just put my feet up and chill.

What about you? Where you from?

Congratulations...having ur first is so exciting, dont know what to expect and everything is a learning curve, then again every pregnancy is different lol u learn something new every time.

Have a fab day, hope u get loads of nice pressies....hugs from me to u and bump mwah xx

 

[LilyMac]

Its not my birthday!!! Wish it was but no, was a couple of weeks ago and I'm 25, how weird, we're roughly the same age and we practically lived next door to eachother!! I live about 5 minutes away from the Redditch Road!

I'm very lucky cause I have 8 nieces/nephews and when their mommys and daddys went back to work they practically lived with me, so I feel like I've done the whole raising a child thing lots of time already!! Though obviously this lil one will be tons more special cause he's all mine!!
