I've set myself a goal!

[skatty]

Is anyone else worried about being a fat frump after they give birth? I have decided that I will be back in my DH's favourite outfit by next June for my birthday! That gives me a sensible 8 months to do it in and it is what I wore for my 31st birthday 2 years before. Its a pair of white trousers and a really skimpy black Jane norman top that is very low cut and has a slit in the front showing of my belly ring and a bit of belly. If I can wear this outfit again I will feel like a right sex kitten

Has anyone else got something that they aspire to wear again? I am going to hang it on the outside of my wardrobe as a reminder!

[Vicki83]

Well my birthday is in january so i'll still be a fat frump! At least i'll still have my boobs at that point!!

I've got a wedding dress to fit into for next May! Currently having it made up to measurements taken in very early pregnancy so I don't have to be QUITE pre-pregnancy!

I was quite curvy before though so I've only put about a stone and a half on, how about you girls?

 

[Vicki83]

I've not actually put on that much weight yet to be honest a few pounds as such but i have gone from a size 8/10 to a 14, but that's just mainly so my expanding tummy can fit into the clothes, other than my tummy and boobs everything else is pretty much the same size as before!

 

[Minxy]

You hear of these celebs who put on 4/5 stone but that's usually only because they were so underweight before!

I think most sensible pregnancy weight can be lost but it's the SHAPE of our figures that will NEVER be the same!

 

[lisanat]

I've put on 2 and a half stone nearly.
Im nearly the same as hubby!!!

I've just looked at my wedding dress I wore last july- no chance of getting near that now!!!

xx

 

[Minxy]

Your hubby would be pleased to hear that, I hope!!

 

[skatty]

Oh great, we can all support each other! I think next spring/summer is a sensible amount of time

I haven't been weighing mysélf, that would be far too depressing! I feel like a house but i guess most of its boobs and belly because while my backside is ginormous it was also big before I can still wear my pre-pregnancy jeans with a belly belt but they do feel tighter all over. I'm really hoping I can breastfeed and burn up some calories!

LittleMinx didn't know you were getting married, that's exciting, what's your dress like?

 

[Minxy]

Here it is:

I'm having a gold skirt with green corset (not very traditional!) It looks kind of medeival. Wedding was supposed to be in two weeks but got postphoned when I realised I was pregnant! So, we get an extra little guest at the wedding!

 

[skatty]

That's bl**dy lovely! I really regret wearing white for my wedding in Vegas. My Dad gave me the money to have a dress made and I planned to have a red slinky monroesque, split to the thigh dress but I was just opening my shop and just didn't have time to sort it out and got a dress last minute of ebay instead

Are you getting married in a special place? You'll have to dress you LO up in something special too!

 

[Minxy]

Ebay's the best! We're having a civil do in a local hotel, and have already started looking for tiny suits for baby! Want him to have a little gold waistcoat to match the groom's party.

I was SO full of wedding plans, scrapbooks the works, but it's all faded off now we getting a head start on the family! The plan was always to turn 30, marry and then babies. I wish I could have done it in the 'proper' order, but hey ho, life gets in the way!

You should post a wedding pic, I'm sure there was a thread somewhere.

 

[Vicki83]

LittleMinx that dress is absolutly stunning hun, makes me want to get married just for the dress!

 

[Minxy]

Aw, Vicki thanks

 

[lisanat]

Yep I agree. That dress is gorgeous. When is it your getting married?

xxx

 

[Minxy]

May 4th. So a similar time scale to your June target I guess, since I'm a couple of months ahead in pregnancy!

 

[luce1]

I'm a bridesmaid in July my besty mate has had to guess my size by putting the dress up agaist my old clothes so treadmill post giving birth here I come!

 

[lisanat]

Ah Liittle minx you must be realy excited!!

I was meant to be a bridesmaid on the 21 October for my best friend....
I then found out I was pregnant and due on the 14th October!!So safe to saay Im not a bridesmaid now. I think its because we were joking about it about a month before about how funny it'll be if I go pregnant and baby due on her wedding day!!!

13 years ago when I had Kayleigh, I left the hospital 5 days later in my size 8 pre-pregnancy jeans. Should I set myself the same goal again this time??!!
