    Hehe, I'll join in too
    Due around 20th Jan 2011. Boy.
    My bump is rather pronounced (have some pics on FB if anyone wants to see- Kellie Coleman Slade), enough that people think I'm ready to pop. I've had a few 'Oh you still have that long to go??' comments and similar. Some people just have absolutely no manners or sensitivity!

    Hey ladies, just wondering what size you have to be to join this group??? I am a size 16 normally and that usually puts me in the plus size category everywhere else (ie shops). I can put on up to 30kgs when pg though I have been told that for my height (5'5") that I am obese at 84kg. I certainly don't feel obese just more cuddly than others Hope it ok if I join

    My bump is Heffalump, because that's what I look like!

    KimB, As for size, I am normally a 16 too, about 88ish kg normally and only being a shorty (about 164cm), it doesn't look so great! Tho like you, I don't feel 'obese' (gosh that's such a horrible lable!!).
    So far I have put on about 7kg. So now about 95kg. I'm aiming to stay under 100kg, though I'm not liking my chances, with 3ish months still to go, lol! I am feeling this pg alot more than my last two, being heavier than I ever have pre pg. I was about 89kg at full term when pg with DS, and about 80kg full term with DD. So I have put on alot of weight in the last few years, from about 68-70kg to 88kg. Not really looking forward to being 8-9mths pg...especially since we have moved out to the sticks and it's apparently gets REALLY hot out here!

    Of course you can be including in our little group :-) What's your stats and I'll add you to the first post.

    Ladies how often are your purchasing new bras? in my last two pregnancies my ( . )( . )'s haven't grown... did my measurements two weeks ago and then again today and I've gone up a cup size and not really sure if I should head and and do the horrid bra shopping or not, the band size has stayed the same but the cup size has increased... should I just wear my bra's with "stretchy" cups?
