Hi and welcome Amsta, sounds like you may be UTD and if you are congrats. You sound like you are the ideal weight to get pregnant, you dont want to be too slim when you fall pregnant cos more often than not those are the girls who put more weight on than those a little above average. Wishing you good luck with it all!
Bec - your post made me laugh. It is funny how our bodies react when we are in baby making mode. I get that clucky that i just cant think of anything else but then i remember i cant do anything about it til december lol. its not that easy for me hehe. Maybe knowing i have to wait til i finish midwifery will make me get through these assignments faster....nah! not a chance lol
Spice- You poor thing having PE from 35 wks! were you made to stay in hospital? I know its very uncomfortable. Thats right there is no real link between being overweight and PE but it does cause other complications so would be a good idea if I lose it to avoid that. They are building a new birthing centre here in Townsville so I would love to go through and birth there but you have to be low risk so hopefully! you never know your luck! To try for a vbac that would be great, its so nice when you hear of women wating to try rather than opting for a repeat c/s straight away. You have left enough time for your scar to heal too so your chances look good. what was the reason for your c/s last time?
Sorry I missed you Amsta. Welcome. It sure does sound like you may be UTD
Lea, I was hospitalised for a few days. Then sent home to rest as aldomet helped with my BP. I had protein in my urine but not a huge amount. I was monitored by OB and had a scan at 37 weeks which showed placenta calcification so OB said it was best for bub to be delivered within that week. I wanted to be induced but bub was not engaged and my cervix was unfavourable so I took my OB's advice and had a cs. In hindsight I think I could have been monitored for longer to see if I went into labour spontaneously. When I had the cs the anaesthetist could not get the epi to work so I was given a GA which as you can imagine was completely devastating for me. Thats why I so badly want a VBAC next time.
Lea I really hope you get the egg on your first go. I was lucky enough to fall pg with Charli on the first try (how do I know - we only DTD once that month - sad I know)
It seems like you've got ovulation time all sorted with your charting etc. My only other tips are: make sure you lay down with your hips elevated for half an hour afterwards. And also I had read in a conception book that some women produce too much cervical mucous which can actually prevent enough sperm to enter the uterus and a good remedy for keeping cervical mucous thin was to take a dose or two of robitussen around ovulation time. I did this just in case and it could have helped.
Sorry for getting off track everyone.
Now, back to losing weight. I'm going to start this friday. Mondays never work for me . . .
What does everyone think of having like a chart on everyone's progress that we update every week? like, starting weight and stuff and then loss to date - would keep us motivated (or me anyway cos my number is so high!! lol)
Hi Amsta - welcome and fingers crossed for your positive result!!!
The last time I weighed myself was about 4 months ago and I was 69.8. I refused to get back on them until I was sure I had lost some because I didn't want to see 70kgs. Well I certainly haven't lost any weight so getting on those scales again is going to be a huge deal. My first weigh in will be Monday morning.
(BTW: I am really short so 70kg is overweight as far as BMI goes for me.)
My guess is that I now weigh 75kgs. I was 64kgs this time last year (at my wedding) and even then I felt big. My goal weight is between 55-60kgs which puts me back in the "healthy" BMI range.
Lea- thanks darl, i went and had a look, just a quikc one but couldnt find what i was kinda looking for so will look later..
Amy your lunch sounded DELICIOUS!!!!! mmmmmm
We are off to have dinner with friends at Zagame's so im looking forward to a nice meal and a strong drink.... mmmm been getting into jim beam lately... hated it before lol im normally a scotch person .. or vodka... mmmm but then i do just love a nice glass of red lambrusco mmmmm
OH how is this, my daughter told her kinder room today for show n tell that "mummy is having a baby"!!!!!! made me laugh.... was soooooo cute. and yesturday she said to me "mummy you got a baby in your tummy?" i said no no buub not yet one day and she replied " yep, might be a boy might be a girl and i will feed them" was soooooooooooo cute..
Whats funny is i havent said a word to her bout it all lol so cute
Well, i mmade a BIG step for me today. I joined Curve's!!! I have a good feeling and start there tomorrow morning... will look at starting to follow mel's eating plan monday....
BUT what is exciting is.. since i last weighed myself, i have lost 5kg's!!!!!! FIVE!!!!! i know i know its not much really, not when your as big as me, BUT, im still happy..
Haha dont worry Mel my number is pretty high too, hmmm contemplating letting it slip, need to sit on that one for a bit I reckon.
Spice - thanks for the advice. we have it all worked out with the insemination i think as long as my cycle behaves itself and i gotta say its remarkable so far and been charting for about 6 mths now. Got all my hormone levels checked last month and they are spot on too so fingers crossed the spermie meets the egg first go. Heres hoping!!
Anyway, I better be getting ready for work...boohoo! Ahh but maybe i need a baby fix, just to give me that bloody cluckiness again lol.
Hmm, I'm a bit scared to reveal my weight at the moment too . . .
Lea you have a beautiful job. I cannot wait to be a midwife sometime in the near future. Just not sure whether to go down the nursing then post grad in mid path, or do a bachelor of mid.
