Hi girls,

It has been a while since I have posted in here! Welcome to the newbies! And congrats on all of your pg's.

Well, I'm not going so well, my back and right hip (in particular) are really starting to play up and hurt me big time. Some days (like today) I can barely get up to walk. I am pushing 100kg too. I weighed myself at the docs and I was so depressed! I was hoping to avoid being 100kg or more. But I am 98.5, with 11ish weeks to go. I seriously doubt I will stay under. I can't exercise with my back, so that won't help at all either. On the upside baby is getting so big I can't eat alot, and I don't have GD! Another doc I took my kids to see is worried I might have thyroid issues though. In some sort of sick way I'm hoping I do because then me getting this fat wouldn't entirely be my fault, kwim? Crazy I know, but I can't believe I have gotten sooo big. DH showed me photos of me which I sent him when he was in the navy, so about 7ish yrs ago (pre kidlets, well we only had our first angel bub) and my goodness I was so slim! And the sad thing is I used to think I wasn't back then. I have never enjoyed my body or me very much for some reason. I find that so sad. And now it's been ravaged by being pg and being so overweight, I will never look very nice with all my saggy baggy skin and stretchmarks from (literally) under my ribs to my pubic bone, to around my sides.

AAS, I am having issues with mat clothes too. I am nearly 30wks pg though. I just can't find any pants to fit. I brought some size 16 pants the other day and they barely came over my hips, so I then got some 18's at a different store and they wouldn't even come above my thighs. I have no shorts or skirts to wear for summer and I'm going to die of heat exhaustion if I don't find any since we are living in the sticks where it gets really hot. Plus I can't just go out and buy anything because we are living in the stick where there's no clothes shops for miles! Plus I don't want to be spending too much money on things now when I am nearly ready to pop and this is our last bub, and we don't have alot of spare $$ at all.

Ok enough whining from me. LOL, not in the best of moods if you can't tell! Sorry to dump it all here.....
