[Cas3]

I would like to join this thread my aim is over next 5 wks is to sts or gain a 1lb a wk x

 

[mrs-s]

Have added you to first post x

 

[Cas3]

Thanks hun I dont mind if I gain up to a stone much more relaxed about weight gain its all for a healthy baby, shall we weigh in each friday x

 

[mrs-s]

Yeah I already weigh in Fridays that's when I start a new week, any weight gained now is mainly baby i think, my LO about 2.5 lbs at the moment so if he is anything like my son who was 8lbs 9oz I'll gain at least 6lbs just through his weight x

 

[Cas3]

I dont mind if my baby weighs around 8lb but dont think my body could cope with a 10 lb baby so hoping for a healthy average weight this time. Im measuring at 35 cm now and I think most of the weight I gain from now will all be babys weight and fat stored for breast feeding x

 

[mrs-s]

I reckon my baby will be about 9pm 4oz but DH reckons he will be early and weigh about 7lbs 6oz hehe x

 

[Cas3]

Wow my youngest was 9.6 and I thought she was big, its so exciting guess babys weight really dont know what mine will weigh this this time, baby centre is great website I always going on it to look stuff up according to them I should gain about a stone in this pregnancy so im on track

 

[Cas3]

I get the weekly email from them about baby's development its really interesting it was a shock for us too when my lo came out I thought she was going to be about 7lbs cos my first was 6.10, thats why I can't guess the weight this time, but last pg I did gain 3 stone so it probably didnt help. You've had some interesting births then hun x

 

[oasis6918]

Can I join this thread too? My aim is to lose 7lb in 6 weeks, before I hit the 3rd trimester when I will not be trying to lose weight as baby will have some serious growing to do. Then I aim to stay the same until my due date or not not gain more than a total of 24lb's x

 

[mrs-s]

[mrs-s]

Could really eat another piece but trying to resist, think I might have a tiny but more before bed hehe, oh well not been over calories all week so once in a while won't be a problem x

 

[mrs-s]

Arghh woke up in middle of the night and can't get back to sleep with horrid heartburn!

 

[oasis6918]

Yuck, do you suffer bad with it? Just when your pregnant or other times too? I had it horrendous with my lo and he had loads of thick hair which was lovely when born but I can't take anything for heartburn tablets like that make me gag. I woke up 2 nights ago with heartburn, I guess it's going to start soon again. I have never once suffered heartburn/indigestion when not pregnant thank god x

 

[mrs-s]

I never get it when not pregnant, had it last time too and my LO had loads of hair, don't know how true it means anything though haha

How is everyone this morning? I'm so tired had such a bad nights sleep im all achey and horrible this morning, think I'll have to take some paracetamol, legs are killing!

 

[Cas3]

Morning girls,
Heartburn is awful isnt it only had in my first pg, my left leg is really achey aswell had it for a few days now.
I had a dream last night that I gave birth to a big baby so wondering if my dream will come true or not. I'm trying to be good today but its still early x

 

[mrs-s]

I never used to eat breakfast before this pregnancy, I make sure I have it every morning now and always feel better for it, of I do miss it I end up hungrier throughout the day and eating bad snacks x

 

[Cas3]

Sometimes I try and eat breakfast but most mornings its rush getting the girls ready for school run it going be worst when I'll have 3 to get ready.
This is what im planning to eat today:
Cup tea cereal bar and apple,
Chicken sandwich at lunch time,
pizza and jacket potatoe for dinner and I probably have some healthy snacks during the day x
