Pregnancy and Slimming World

[geordie_lass21]

Everyone has different symptoms & I think if u have more than one u might notice a difference.
With my girl I carried all over, my hips widened and my bump wasn't huge. With my boy I didn't look pregnant from behind but my bump was huge. Much harder to manage - I was nearly sick shaving my legs trying to get to them and bending to pull myself out of the bath was so hard!
I mentioned my food aversions and cravings already, with my boy around 8+ weeks I suddenly ate alot of picked onions . With my daughter I ate a lot of tinned pineapple. They weren't cravings.like ppl say tho, I wasn't.going.to go crazy or send my hubby out if there was none in.
I wast sick with either and I wasn't queasy either. With my daughter I was excessively tired. I had.much more energy

Hi girls, I was just wondering if any of you had cramps in early pregnancy? I'm a bit worried x

I did too - try not to worry, your body is changing a lot. As long as your not bleeding I wouldn't get yourself too worried.

I also didnt have any sickness, just nausea. Remember everyone is different too. I hate google, it's got me so worried before!!

Hope your feeling ok now xx

Hi girls,

Weird that you have both just explained some of your sympotms as I was just going to ask!!

I am dying to know what I am having but my OH is having none of it so we are not finding out as it would be awful me knowing and him now - can you imagine if we had an argument and I teased him with it ha ha!

Anyway, I know it's only old wives tales but I have been wondering if people with more than 1 baby had experienced different symptoms each time round.....so thanks for answering already ha!

I have had very little sickness (felt queasy a few days but no vomiting and it queasiness has not lasted for a sustained amount of time), my hair and nails are in much better condition, my skin is pimply (yack!) and I have gained half a stone already (only 10+1) and am constantly hungry - any guesses???? Come on, humour me!! Not sure how I'm going to last another 30 weeks without finding out arrrgghhh! ha!

My husband and I both didn't want to know, but around the same time as your pregnant we both changed our minds.... You've got another 10 weeks until you can find out do who knows, he may change his mind....!!! Xx

When i had my daughter I wanted to find out but then decided not to and was so glad I didn't - it was so exciting! And I convinced myself I was having a boy so when she arrived it was such a surprise! Will definately have a surprise again when I get pregnant x x

So far I've only craved Haribo gold bears, anything cherry, and food in general .... Any other strange cravings?

 

[oasis6918]

Oh I love cherry Pepsi max! x

 

[parfittaroles]

It's the other way round with us! OH wants to find out but I don't!

I was pleased to find out I've lost 2lbs this week. I was convinced I'd gained just from my inflated boobs! I realised last night I'm probably not going to get to target now! Oh well, baby comes first.

Does anyone else get baby related nightmares?! I have every day since I found out I was pregnant lol xx

 

[oasis6918]

I got nightmares but not about the baby.
Well done on your weight loss! That's great x

hows everyone going?
I had a consultant appt yesterday (at 32 +2) and it seemed such a pointless appt! I mean i see my midwife regular and she didnt do anything more than my midwife does.
Baby heartbeat well, and im feeling well, and urine and BP fine too.
I think i had to have it due to moving hospitals and initially being high risk - but seemed silly to me.

Started packing my maternity bag too now - hehe! need to get some extra bits and bobs and make a list haha! x

Hey girls, sorry I haven't been on for ages been so busy getting everything sorted! My due date is in 9days (21st July) saw midwife yesterday and she said if I'm to go over due she will do a sweep 1st no more than 7days over and if that doesn't work then will be induced on 2nd aug. really didn't want to be induced so we are trying to evict this baby naturally! been told all along we will be having a small baby and sent for lots of growth scans so far everything is ok. I'm absolutely huge and struggling to walk as I'm so tiny don't think my legs can take the extra weight! I have spd too so seeing physio next week but hoping I will have popped by then!

Will do a bump pic taken on sat at 38weeks! COVERED in stretch marks as you will see I def wasn't blessed in that dept!

Xx

Ah bless ya your frame is so small compared to bump, but stretch marks or not all bumps are beautiful. I hope you don't go over good luck! x

Thank you! Really don't want to go over as my sister in law is due her 2nd baby on 2nd aug and she is stealing our girl name!! :-( have wanted Emma since I was a little girl and she wants to call her's Emily!!!!!! RUDE!! she has also stole our 2nd choice which is Ava so if our baby is a girl she will be Emma Ava! we don't know what we are having but she does. I think ours is a boy coz my bump is so low but everyone I know says they think ours will be a girl!! Can't wait to find out!!! Any ideas anyone going by bump pic? Xx

This is our 4d scan taken at 28weeks!!

I wouldn't like to guess, looks very similar to my last bump where I had a girl and carried low and all at the front, where as my boy was higher and all over but I'm much bigger than you although one of the ladies on here is the other way round. I think everyone is different, but I'm sure either way will be a nice surprise. I wish I'd had the patience to wait that long although it took me a while to get used to having a girl, only because I was so used to my lb and I couldn't imagine a girl, at. it's great having one of each. Of course I never minded which sex. There's been lots and lots of girls on this forum this year though x

We have waited a hell of a long time for this baby after 2mc's so we are just blessed to be pregnant with a healthy baby had baby's heart beat read yesterday was 148-152bpm, I've been sick from the start didn't stop till over 30weeks and I'm craving sweet things all the time where as before I loved savory! Completely gone off meat too! I'm just confused by how low my bump is that's why I think boy!!! Any tips on safely evicting baby so I don't have to be induced!!!? I'm drinking raspberry leaf tea and bouncing on my ball! Xx

Oh sorry for your past losses. I can't imagine ever goin through something like that. The only 2 things that really have any scientific support are eating really spicy foods - but if your body's used to it then it prob isn't going to make any difference, also sex. I had sex on the evening then 5oclock next morn my contractions started, but I do believe these things only help if baby ready BUT even if sex doesnt start labour the semen helps soften your cervix so when you are ready it's supposed to help you dilate - your mw will tell you this. I went into labour 2 days before my due date and my little girl arrived on her due date x

 

[MrsJH]

we tried sex last week which was hilarious as I'm so heavy I couldn't move just had to lie there LOL!! yeah midwife said sex and nipple stimulation but that makes me cringe!! will try sex again ;-) I bought some clary sage oil to bath in but I'm too scared to use it as I've heard mixed reviews and forgot to ask my midwife if it was safe! Xx

[oasis6918]

Yeah I'd feel a bit daft with the nipple stimulation lol. I also wasn't sure about clary sage so I never got any in the end. I couldn't lie on my back after 16 wks from my spd. Our sex life stayed normal but I had to get used to it from behind lmao, my most unflattering angle at that x
