LittleMumma for the 3rd time!

Here is my diary
I have been a member of this forum for the last 2.5 years. starting with cambridge to judd to calorie counting.
I lost 5.5st in about 10months for my wedding last October, weighing in at the low 10s. Unfortunately this weight was not maintainable for me and I was quickly a stone up in a couple of months. Here over a year on im upto about 12st, so a good 20lbs heavier than id like to be.....
I have two boys aged 4 and 2.5 and I am now almost 11wks pregnant with baby no....3.
So far im a few lbs down as ive had quite bad morning sickness, which seems to be easing now.
Pregnancy doesnt really agree with me, I get lots of water, lots of swelling and high blood pressure, not to mention the back condition I have teamed with horrific spd, so its safe to say im bl00dy scared!!!
my first labour was about 5hrs long. delivered in a pool to a healthy 8lb 4oz boy. My second was delivered at home (planned) again in the pool, about 3hrs of established labour to a 9lb second boy.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping for a girl.... But in all fairness as long as they are healthy is the all that's important.

So if there's any May mummies to be lurking out there (or any mummies!) stop by to my thread and say hi

Good luck to all xxx

Here to stalk

Ooooh you're hardcore! My first was an induction, epidural, forceps...10 people in the room. Monitors for the baby, monitors for me...we took it in turns with dodgy heart readings...but I'm really hoping to use to pool this time and for it to be a bit calmer. I did like the idea of a home birth too but have been convinced otherwise.

I'm lucky in pregnancy, no complaints with either of them but maybe I'm not so good at the delivery part...

 

[LauraLooLa]

Also...you have giant babies!!

Mine was 6lb 13 a full 2 weeks over and I couldn't get her out. I'm expecting at least an 8lber this time though.

 

[littlemumma]

Not sure I'll ever be desperate enough to try castor oil. Bleugh.
Awww, you have an Isaac, that was at the top of my list until the one we've picked popped up out of nowhere.

I feel your pain, it's been hard enough looking after one. She had 8 weeks off before she started school and it was so hard...and so bl00dy long! I feel very lucky to have this time to myself before bub arrives.

 

[littlemumma]

Trying not to get too carried away worrying.
Feeling better in myself, no sickness for a few days now. Altho still shattered!!& heartburn has presented itself again!

Yay! Glad everything is looking good. You're doing really well with not gaining yet. I'm an elephant.

Now...where can I buy clary sage oil??
Just about to meet friends for curry

 

[littlemumma]

I got it from Holland & Barrett I think???. u just need a drop or two in a warm bath. it stinks lol. but its good. I also put the tiniest amount on my bump too. so far so good. However morning sickness is dying out so im worried my monster appetite might appear lol!!!

Week 17 feeling pretty good. Belly has popped out and clothes r all really tight. Im about 7lbs heavier which isnt too bad i dont think.....for me anyway!!!!
Morning sickness totally gone. Cant stand the idea of eating chicken which is so annoying as id planned to be super healthy with my eating.
Diet wise is consisting of what i want when i want which is destined for disaster on the scales!! Need to get xmas out the way then start my health kick. Swimming twice a week. Walking and eating 3healthy meals a day with a treat day at weekend.
Thats the plan.....ha!

 

[littlemumma]

Now 10lbs heavier!!! Eurgh damn christmas lol!!!
Feeling ok except for very painful spd, my groin hurts so much. 19 weeks now,

 

[oasis6918]

Ah hun I feel for you my spd is horrendous! It started so early this time. Now I'm 24 and 4 x

 

[littlemumma]

Yeah i had it with my boys before, but not til about 26 weeks, this time its been niggling since 17 weeks and the last week i can hardly move for more than 10mins, very hard work when youve got other children to go out & about with.
But still, i can get through it with an end in sight and the most wonderful reward!

 

[oasis6918]

That is what helps knowing its not forever and its all worth it in the end. I can't even stand long enough to do the dishes in one go and can't go out without my crutches anymore xx

 

[littlemumma]

21 weeks today!! Had scan yesterday - baby is looking perfect!!
I am now exactly a stone heavier!! christmas has ruined me i think i put on about 6/7lbs over xmas alone! Starting to panic a bit now! Ahhh well i will figure it all out in may! ??

 

[littlemumma]

Baby 21 wks

 

[oasis6918]

Lovely pics, how are you feeling ?'

 

[littlemumma]

Not too bad.....when stationary!! But my god my spd is flaring up when walking around or doing anything strenuous like cleaning or food shopping!
I have a gp appt on friday for referral to be made to a spd specialist so fingers crossed!! Its all fun eh?!

 

[LauraLooLa]

Looking good LM. Sorry to here about the SPD though, sounds rubbish.
Can I do a gender prediction? I vote girl.
Seems weird that 5 weeks ago I was still pregnant, kind of forgotten all about it.

 

[littlemumma]

Looking pretty podgey now!! My face is slightly puffy too!!
Haha what makes u think girl??! Oh god i hope so!! It killed me not to find out but im glad i didnt, i cant wait to see whats cooking in there!! How u getting on?? Ru as bothered about the weight side of things as u thought u might be? Im going a bit crazy worrying about it! Im already up to nearly 13st with another 18 or so weeks to go... Im scared im gonna be way over 15st again when i start losing the weight! And im bridesmaid abroad in september! Pressure pressure!!! X
