I'm Back & Stupid!

[dannii87]

Hi girls,

I'm back, but probably won't be around as much as I used to be, not for any bad reason at all! I'm just so tired lately that I'm half asleep all the time when I read posts.

Anyway, I did a really stupid thing today, I weighed myself (I don't know how much I've put on because I've never been weighed by my MW) and I was 11st, so I entered my weight and height into a BMI calculator and it said I was obese!!

I told my Mum and said "Oh dear, I'm going to have more to lose than I thought" and she simply replied "I bet a lot of what you've put on is Evie, blood, water, placenta... I bet you're not even "obese"! You're pregnant!"

Also ladies... Going to post in an update about my iron... xx

 

[fran_23]

hun those bmi charts etc...they arent for pregant ladies!
you are not obese!! its all bubba and placenta as your mum said!

 

[Tadpole]

Hellooooo

And no they aren't for pregnant ladies...!
Obese!! pfft. It'll all go when baba is here.

I know what you mean about the tired thing though. Was gonna do loads of stuff this weekend as OH was away. What did I actually do? Watched tv & surfed the net.

Scales are bad in pregnancy. If I don't have a 2 and a half stone baby I'm going to be disappointed.

And if you do, you won't walk for a fortnight!

Hehehe you wally!

I did find a calulator on a Google search the other day...you enter you before weight and your current weight and it gave an estimate of how much was baby, how much was blood, placenta, boobs, etc etc...

Out of the nearly 3 stone I've put on, it only estimated about 8lbs in fat which I was quite happy with As the rest will go with Jacques, I hope! And did you know you have about 50% more blood than normal!!

Heya welcome back dannii !!! look how were all grown up and in tri 3 now scary business !!

I have avoided the scales like the plague, might have to try that calculater now though !!!

 

[dannii87]

Aww thank you girls! You know it means a lot to me all your lovely messages

Welcome Magic and Riot!! Woo hoo!!

I don't know what I weighed beforehand?! I've got chunkster arms and a fat bot bot now though So I must have put on quite a bit!

[Sandi4Paul]

i've given up on those BMI charts, my pre pregnancy weight siad i was overweight, i am a size 10 to 12. i was surprised that is overweight!

As for now, yes i am 9.5 kgs more but that is pregnant not overweight (no matter if my FIL makes some ignorant comment about my size).

[Mildly]

Yay, you're back Sorry you're feeling so tired though

Hideilu, I would love a look at that calculator you find, if you can remember the site!

 

[Penstraze]

I would like link to that calculator too although will probably depress me! I have chunky arms and a big bum now too Dannii although having seen pics of you I find it hard to believe you have!!

Glad to see you back if only briefly when your feeling up to it!

 

[Chelle]

Nice to see you back Dannii
Don't worry about your weight right now. I know I have put loads on, but i'm not going to worry about it till after baby is born. I wouldn't be able to cope if I started depriving myself the treats of chocolate bickies and packets of crisps, yum! Just relax and enjoy it

 

[DaisyRose]

HIYA Dannii,

Good to see you back - don't worry too much about your weight, you'll probably drop the best part of a stone when you have the baby. I'm over 11st too (was 10 and a half when I gave birth to the other two so a little depressed - keep telling myself this one must be bigger!!!)
