May mummies and rainbows to be :)

How many weeks will you be when you have it done? I have to have it due to family history but I don't know when it will be as she mentioned it at the booking in and nothing since xx

I also get digestive pains, really not nice. I get bad heartburn, indigestion, bloating and constipation pains, pregnancy really is the most glamorous time xx

I'll be 24 weeks. They can do it anytime between 24-28 weeks. I'm assuming that I've got to have it because my mum has type 2. Nevermind that I don't have her bad habits. I eat healthy and exercise regularly. Her and her sisters that have type 2 all developed it from very poor diets and no exercise.

I don't mind the 2 hr waiting time or the blood test, but surely there has got to be a better option than Lucozade so I don't struggle to keep it down. Nevermind the lack of accuracy with this test as it really doesn't replicate how you intake glucose or process it in real life. I don't know many people you drink that much glucose and then rest. In my case, my carbs are always consumed with some protein and I'm very active. I don't drink sugary drinks. I drink water all day and have one glass of orange juice (with breakfast) and the occasional hot drink (always caffeine free or decaf).

All those annoying discomforts are forgotten when I feel my baby move, and the little one has been super active today. It feels the weirdest when I can feel the movement whilst up and moving around- right now that is when I'm cooking.

Kabuk, it might have just been digestion. I woke up this morning convinced I'd miscarried but felt kicks later. My boyfriend also felt kicks for the first time this morning!

Hey Kabuki! I think it's torture to make a pregnant woman fast. I don't understand that they make you do this while you are fit and eat healthy?!

I bought the my7 pillow, I think it's one of the biggest ones out there. It helps keep your pelvic stable while sleeping.

I've had to scale back the weight immensely in Crossfit. I've had some bleeding after carrying my 42lbs suitcase. And then again after hauling cartons of milk, water and Christmas gifts up 2 stories. I only do 20lbs squats now.. They write everything down on a board and some people don't even know I'm pregnant! They must probably be wondering why I am so weak! It sucks!

I have to have a glucose test too. I'm dreading it. My appointment is at 9am I normally have breakfast by 7am I'm going to struggle. No food makes me feel so sick and lucozade gives me panic attacks. Not looking forward to the 3 hour wait either xxx

Maybe round ligament pain? How are your hips now? Mine are awful, and now my ankles and my knees hurt too. I think it may be swelling? Think I'm going to call the midwife as all I can do is hobble around, pretty sure most pregnant women don't have to hobble! Pregnancy doesn't suit me! Xx

Hmmm, no, it's not painful at all. My hips are waking me up at 5am every morning! Have you got bursitis too? X

I don't know - I haven't even heard of it and haven't had an official diagnosis. It gets worse every day and is starting to freak me out and make me feel miserable xx

Hey Kitana, most know I'm pregnant now as I made an announcement on my box's social page. But during the 1st trimester, when only my coaches knew, I was getting some strange looks. I had to slow down and people know that isn't me. I actually competed in our annual throw down and won the scaled division the day before my positive. The WODs have been a bit of a pain lately as we are in a leg cycle for max squats. My strength was always with the gymnastics and running and now I struggle with some of the gymnastics and don't run. I was so close to my ring muscle ups when I got pregnant and I miss rope climbs- was getting there with legless ones. Not being able to compete against others sucks. I don't keep track of my scores at all now. I get too competitive.

I've had bleeding since 10 weeks, but the consultant said it's likely because of my low-lying placenta and said that continuing with crossfit was fine, only to stop if the bleeding gets worse. The workouts haven't made a difference. If anythything, I tend to bleed less on those days.

Dovekie- glad you could feel movement again today. Indigestion can be awful. It's so great when your oh can finally feel it too!

I'm from Newcastle

My brother-in-law is from there. My sister lived there for 5 years after they got married, but have since moved to the States. It was actually the first place I visited in the UK because she lived there.

I think it might be a different thing. It is very annoying. Luckily I'm not affected during the day yet, but might be if it continues :/ Hope we're not going to end up immobile! X

I had my 20 week scan on Friday. Everything looks good and we found out that we're having a girl, which is what I wanted. My OH wasn't really bothered boy or girl, so is happy too.
