pregnant & trying to maintain or lose!

Thanks jess I am definitely trying these at the weekend!
If you were to read my diary from a few weeks ago you would see I was the exactly the same with regards to the whole not feeling pregnant thing .. I had no bump no symptoms no movements nothing ! Then I hit 17 weeks and my bump just expanded and now I feel huge lol .. I'm starting to get back ache now too and get out of breath really easy .
When is your scan again? Are you still having one I remember you saying that because you'd had one early one you weren't sure if you would be getting one at 12 weeks xx

feeling good! still dont really feel pregnant yet :/ i want a bump & feel baby move!! lol. Ive my scan on Monday, cannot wait for

how are you doing?

I was the same... No symptoms.. No bump.. Nothing to indicate I was pregnant except for the scan pics I had at home but felt weird looking at them and thinking "that's mine" coz I didn't feel pregnant at all... Most days I still get told I don't look pregnant (although I do wear clothes that disguise the bump)... I felt I was WAYYY behind everyone with they're kicks n bumps... But I reckon I was about 20-22 weeks before I started to get proper kicks n movements so it felt a little more real then...

Scans are so exciting... I love seeing my little bubba.. Though no scans now til 39 weeks.... And that's only coz i'm gona take part in a study they're running at my hospital...

Bet you can't wait for your scan! It's so hard early on when you don't look pregnant at all, I felt ill but when that started to get a bit better it panicked me cos I didn't feel pregnant either! It got worse again a few weeks later though just to reassure me lol

Its being run by Perinatal Ireland and its called a Genesis Study!!
There are 3 main maternity hospital in Ireland involved in it and basically they are asking first time mothers to come in for a scan between 39 and 40+6 week gestation. They'll "measure baby and do a "well-being test" (or a biophysical profile) for the baby. This will include an assessment of the placenta, the amniotic fluid and baby's general activity and health. They will also check baby's overall weight but will not tell me or my managing doctor or MW the measurements they have taken. This is to ensure that this study does not interfere with how any doctor or MW would normally manage my labour and delivery. However, a report on my baby's health and wellbeing will be placed in my chart & will be available to my doctor.m "(If there are any problems they'll let my doctor/MW know and i'll be excluded from the research and the docs will take over)
Its basically to determine if a scan later in pregnancy can pick up any issues and avoid an emergency c section

I will be able to find it I'm sure! Get access to international journals through work and the royal college of midwives! Also, depending on the results it will probably be quite widely talked about! X can you donate your cord blood in Ireland? X

oven baked italian meatballs with spaghetti





feeling good again today, realized dont get any nausea anymore and i think its from the other prenatal tablets i have

 

[Dubchick81]

Don't worry hun.. Growth spurt??

 

[missy1978]

I can't remember who it was but I know it was someone on here somewhere who found that pregnacare made them sick? Some of the vitamins are really hefty so they can make you feel rubbish apparently.

3.5lbs isn't too bad - keep doing what you're doing and don't worry xxx

 

[Jess<3]

hope its growth! lol.

im not worrying to much just trying to stick to plan as much as poss...

ive started seven seas prenatal and they actually helped with the constant sicky feeling, must just be a bad day. x
