Hi

im Jenn and I'm 7 weeks pregnant with baby no7 due 17th of June. Been doing slimming world since January and I've lost 4st 2.5lbs with 4.5lbs to go. Really trying to stay on plan to get to target but it's quite hard to get your head around trying to loose weight when you knowing your going to start gaining.

Hoping there's some other mummies to be to chat too :D
 
Hi congrats on your pregnancy & your weight loss so far its quite quiet on here unfortunately :( im 24 weeks pregnant & loosely sticking to plan & have only gained 4lb so here for support :) Baby no 4 for me x
 
Thank you for replying for Tamkat. It is very quiet on here.

congratulations on baby no 4. Do you know what your having, what do you have already?

a 4lb gain at 24 weeks is amazing, well done!

i called target last night at 12st 3lbs so I can continue going to class without having to pay.

:) I have a daughter aged 12 & two boys aged 8 & 17months. Hubby had the snip in may got pregnant in june, crazy lol Really convinced it was a girl as gained 4 stone plus with both my boys & felt this was different symptoms etc.. but found out it is infact another boy!! What do you have? You should do fine weight wise if you go to group my midwife didn't seem too keen as my bmi was 30 at booking in appointment & she said it wasn't really high enough!! I haven't been perfect & have treats at weekends but I lost a stone when pregnant with my daughter so know it is possible.Went up to 17st 10 with last pregnancy appetite was off the scale & to be honest it was a struggle towards the end in a heatwave & few months after feeling miserable about my size etc.. so really don't want to go there again x
 
Hi iv just found out I'm pregnant, due 13th July. This will be my second, I already have a 2 year old boy. I'm going to get back onto plan on Monday hopefully. I'm at the biggest I have ever been.
 
welcome Marie & congrats :) This really is the best plan in my opinion wish id done it last pregnancy x
 
Thank you. I put on most of my weight after my last pregnancy. And have never been able to shift it. I was on medication for post natal depression and I don't think that helped with weight loss. I love slimming world my only problem is planning my meals. Xx
 
Welcome Marie congratulations on your pregnancy!

I have 6 boys! :D Ages 11,10,7,5 and 16 months. I also have another little boy who sadly passed away from cot death in 2012 aged 13 weeks. I think this baby will also be a boy, would be a very very big surprise if it was a girl.

Was at a wedding yesterday and so hard hiding the pregnancy and not drinking. Also the constant nausea is really starting to get my down, however I had hg in my last pregnancy so shouldn't really complain.

Hows everyone else doing?

xx
 
wow 6 boys that's awesome!! & 12stone 3 after 6 kids you must have some willpower :) I do think running around after my youngest is def helping keep the weight down he gets up at 4.30am everyday so im always so tired in the evening (my worst time for munchies)I don't get chance to eat & normally fall asleep by 7pm! So sorry to hear about your little boy you lost, cant imagine what you went through :( xx Do all the boys share or will you have to get a bigger house? We have a 3 bed it will be tight but just might be able to fit them in,find moving house very stressful so hopefully wont if it had been a girl we would have had to move x

Hi how are you Doing? I'm still feeling sick and the only thing that helps is constantly eating and unfortunately not the right things! Do you still go to class? I'm undecided if I'm going to keep going or not? I know im meant to put on weight but after all those months loosing I don't know if I can fancy seeing all the gains :(

Hope you don't have to move, I hate moving its so stressful! We won't need to thankfully, our boys share, they did have their own rooms apart from the baby, but they hated it so now have bunkbeds. We have a big living room, and a large kitchen/dining room/play room so we should be fine. I just need to get all the clutter sorted- so many clothes i need better storage!
 
I don't go to group anymore,the sickness is the hardest bit to get through I did mainly green days so 2 lots of healthy extras brown toast,eggs,beans filling stuff & used my syns on crisps something that seemed to help with the sickness/lightheadedness.Didn't stick to the 1/3 superfree as fruit made me feel icky at the beginning but eating lots now.I didn't worry too much about going over on syns slightly as read that your metabolism increases by 25% in pregnancy & with my little one to run after its prob balanced itself out.Im sure you will be ok as you have lots to keep you busy with your little one too_One thing I did differently this time is I weigh all the time prob too much but its keeping me in check.Last time I weighed at 13 weeks scan had gained 1 stone 6 & then just thought sod it & didnt weigh until 32 weeks & then not again until the day before I gave birth by which time I was 17st 10 eek not going there again lol x What did you do last pregnancy did you put on much? x
 
I didn't really put on much weight last time as I didn't have an appetite and my craving was ice cubes so used to just fill up on that. It's afterwards that I put on the weight. This time is completely different as im starving all the time! I'm undecided about going to class, I feel really guilty about not going back tho. I also feel like a fraud for calling target.
 
Have you discussed it with your consultant? why do you feel like a fraud? You are being very hard on yourself I get that you are frightened of undoing all your hard work but you are starting at a great position we are the same height at 5ft 7 so you must be looking fantastic at 12st 3 :) xx
 
Thank you, I just think it's hard as no one knows at group. My consultant does. I am being to hard on myself, but at the same time I just think sod it I'm going to gain anyway haha. Im just so pleased to be able to eat this pregnancy as normally I'm quite ill and don't eat at all, so want to enjoy it will it lasts.

How far on are you know?
 
I am 25 weeks tomorrow,never had a pregnancy go this fast before the others dragged! When is your scan? x
 
Wow not really that long to go! My scan is the 2nd of December, which is coming round super fast. Can't wait to tell the boys after the scan. Our family already know and are really pleased. Are you starting to think about names? If ours is another boy(which is very very likely) we'll really be struggling with names. My husband is annoying in that he won't actually suggest any names but will veto at least 99% of any I suggest! I usually get my own way eventually tho :)
 
ha funny you should ask that I have a name but not telling him as he will spend the next 15 weeks trying to talk me out of it!Had lots of pretty girl names but never mind lol you must struggle with all those boys names to come up with!What do you have already? My boys are called Mikey & Casey James x
 
I have a Kyle, Cameron, Innes, Harris, Dexter and Gregor. I love the name Theo but hubby's said no way aargh. Your boys names are lovely :)
 
ooh really like Innes never heard that before is it Scottish? x
 
Yes it is Scottish x
