Pregnancy and Slimming World

[Leeanne910]

I must admit the first part of the scan was willy!!! Lol I was a bit gutted n thought "ohhh a boy" but the sonographer was amazing! 1hour she spent and she made it amazingly special we saw his heart kidneys brain tummy etc etc she talked bout every part n I feel that if she didn't then I would have not accepted it being a boy so easily. She helped loads. I did cry as I was goin n she looked as if she felt bad lol cuz she said all is ok but my placenta is low lying which in sone cases lead to c section n that scared me n I blubbed. She said it's comman n not to worry n I wud have scan at 36 weeks to see that it's moved. You may have seen from scan pic baby looks like he is kissing his placenta. Bet he feels so cosey lol that's my placenta in the scan how weird lol

Leeanne - just had to mention - when I was pregnant we were hoping it would be a girl - when he actually arrived I remember hearing the midwife say it's a boy and I was actually thinking - I wanted a girl I don't want a boy - but once I'd got used to the fact that he was a boy and once he had a name it was all different - I wouldn't be without him now and have a fantastic bond with him - probably better than with DS1 if I'm honest but I'm working on that too. I do still look at girl outfits and wonder but in a way I'm glad I have boys as I really don't like some of the outfits that are out there for girls - I found bra tops for 2-3 year olds the other day and was horrified by it - sorry if others think it's fine but I think little girls should be little girls and not little women/ladies!

Anyway just to let you know that I have been there and know the disappointment that you can feel!

Girls I am so naughty - last night after anetnal class which finished at 7.30pm me and my OH were worn out and we had fish and chips with mushy peas and pudding we both had each a bar of areo (not small but big juicy one), oops a daisy was doing okish and bang masshive slip up! It teached me thought for being little miss greedy as I ate way too much and could not sleep till 2am due to bloatedness and so uncomftable with lying down in bed!

 

[Leeanne910]

Crying again. I felt positive only gaining 1lb by week 20

Then read my scan notes.

"poor image quality due to featal lie and maternal adiposity"

After Reading about it.... Meaning I'm so fat that it made image poor quality.

Well I was average bmi when I was pref with Jacob and this time round it's been clearer...

So upset I kno my bmi is 32 :,( I know I'm obese. I wear size 16 usualy. But gettin away with my old size 14 maternity gear.
I weigh 14stone and am 5ft 6inches.... But I've never been able to be bellow 11 and half stone since before puberty. I have huge hips n bum always have.

So now I feel gross and disgusting and feel I shudnt have got pregnant :,(

I'm 5.6 too Leanne but my bmi is much higher than yours, I'd kill to be your weight

Don't fret, you are eating healthily, doing your best to look after yourself & you little baby boy (congrats btw!) is healthy It's just a scan, they managed to get all the measurements etc & that's the main thing...going by the pics i've seen, you are a very beautiful girl who should be proud of herself...just carry on keeping healthy & all will be well. Stop putting yourself down my lovely xxx

 

[Leeanne910]

I do understand petal, I am struggling with my depression & even was struggling with the thought of maybe i made the wrong decision about having a baby.

I have no clue what the complications you are having are about as i'm so new to all of this pregnancy lark but just make sure you can get all the support you can, maybe you could phone your midwife and say you are struggling emotionally? I have a specialist midwife if i need her- she specializes in young mums & people who are finding situations difficult, maybe you could get a similar thing? Also try & talk to your O.H and maybe he could come along to support you? Stay strong & think of the lovely outcome

Leanne my pre-pregnancy weight was over 4 stone heavier than your start weight, and honestly I don't think I have worn a size 16 since I was pregnant with Lukas and he's 9! They wrote something like that on my first scan, then my consultant told me to try slimming world. I was hurt and upset that she thought I was fat enough to have to diet during pregnancy and do you know what happened at my next appointment? I got told off for losing too much weight, apparently you can't win either way. They print all these stupid guidelines for pregnancy and then we all feel inadequate because it's impossible to do everything you are "supposed" to do or be during pregnancy. But it's good preparation for when they are born and you are bombarded with "experts" who think they know best and tell you what to do. If being pregnant or having kids was that simple you would pee on the stick and a magical instruction book would appear along with the two lines. All anyone can do is their best and hope that it's good enough. ((hugs)) as pregnant women we often do a great job of making ourselves feel inadequate without the help of stupid comments they feel compelled to add to our notes but all you can really do is try and ignore it, stick to plan where you can and try really hard not to let it get you down too much, easier said than done I know. Hugs Crystal xx

Hi all

Welcome back Rach y

Nothing off Fern for a couple of days i see.........bet shes had her baby awww hope so!

Leanne you don't sound happy at all atm, try not to worry about things you can't change at the moment! Think most of us on here have the comment on our files about being fat! lol So what who cares, we're healthy and we are trying to manage or do something about it, well i hope so since we are on a slimming blog lol! I've not actually been weighed at all by my mw, she asked on my 18 wk what it was as she knows i go to group but didn't ask on my 25 wk check. All is well there baby's heart beat is great , didn't measure my fundus though, thats on my 28 wk one. Had a moan about my pgp but she can't do owt! anyway i've seen my doc again and now have co-codimal in a low dose so gonna see how i go on with that, only gonna take it when it lots of pain though! Also got another physio appt next Tues so will see what they will do with me now! As for work..........got my workplace assessment next wk and have now gone on reduced hrs from 8hr to 6hr, got a fit note from docs to suggest reduced hrs due to pgp and as pregnancy related will still get full pay so very happy with this! It should help! I'm already off nights now so shifts now 8 till 2 or 2 till 8 ..........happy days! Also have my date for mat leave which starts on halloween (my fav time of yr)!

Not finished my nursery yet, painting and flooring done its just all the other bits n bats.Got a funky light shade from ikea the other day but can't put it up, needs electrician grrrrr good job i know one!
