Weight gain? also maybe a little TMI sorry

[Wonky]

I don't think I'd be concerned with the weight gain, I don't think it has anything to do with the size of your baby (unless u have GD) I put on about 20kg last preg and the one before at least 15kg.

Also for the ichyness it could be thrush Ive oply ever had it during pregnancy, hormones changing or something but bets ask the dr :-)

cool thanks so much ladies wonky i think they think i may hvae GD but my gp said his happy to just wait until the normal time to do the test and see what it says and go from that? im just always getting people go ohhh my you are HUGE for only 20 weeks its starting to make me feel very insecure about my baby belly and i never wanted to i wat to be proud that i have this gorgoeus bump maybe just hormones i dunno lol.

and ive been using canistan for the dry and itchyness and it seems to help so im thinking maybe you ladies are right but other than cream what do they give you while your pregnant ive only ever had it 1 while not pregnant and i took a tablet i thinkit was diflucan?? but im thinking i prob cant have that this time being preg??

also another question while im here i stopped taking multi v after a few weeks because they were making me sick ? but im wanting to go on something im thinking maybe just some inner health plus or something similiar what does everyone suggest?

[skybie]

they wont give u diflucan coz ur pregnant hun, which sucks!!
ur weight gain is totally normal, u may only put on another 2-3kgs in the next 10 weeks! and if u put on more pffftt stuff em
DD2 i only put on 8kgs, this one ive put on 13, but my starting weight was lighter.
your body knwos what its doing, and ur bump is gorgeous!

i think it's worth getting checked by your GP, cos if you take AB's for thrush, and it's not thrush, that could cause an imbalance too. I thought thrush was more than just itchiness, e.g a discharge as well. Us guessing online and you guessing, is not the same as you being accurately diagnosed by a medico. i realise it's a pain to take your toddler to the GP. If you book an appointment, tell the receptionist you are bringing a LO, they might be sensitive to that.

THe "average preg weight" sounds a very hard one to have an answer about, people vary so much.

i hear you on the "being proud of your mummy bump", i felt that way too. (but the other direction, my baby bump took a long time to become obvious, when i was DYING for people to comment, no-one did!). You are baking a lovely bub, no wonder you want to show off your bump, if i was preg again, i would too :hugs:

i actually think what you put in your body (healthy food) is more important than what the scales say. So if you're eating well, and still gaining whatever - so be it. But if your medico SUSPECTS you might have GD, but is waiting for the 28 wk mark (usual time for the test), i don't understand why your medico is not being PROactive, instead of waiting. That does sound a bit irresponsible to me (assuming that once you ARE diagnosed with GD, you might need to make changes. Why wait if medico suspects it now? ( this is a comment about your medico, not you).

best of luck, i hope you get some relief soon, sounds uncomfy for you.
Last time i had a pap smear, the medical centre got a nurse with 5 mins spare, to take my DD for a walk, so i could have the pap done, without worrying about my DD stickybeaking etc. i hope yours is helpful too.

everyone's different with the weight thing, i wouldn't be too concerned as long as you're healthy.
with the itch thing, i had similar a few months ago, around the time of my papsmear, so i got my gynie to look at it, and he said it was just a skin irritation, common in the heat or excercise with sweating etc. try not to wear any undies for a while, and the canestan cream also works a treat..

[Hayden_Sam_Adam]

well thank you all so much i actually just went to the dr's this morning and well he seems to think it may just be an irritation with the heat and i wear alot of jean shorts and i go to the gym 3-4 times a week (if i can get some time spare lol) so ive been given orders somwhat close to what boobaloo has suggested, when im home try to not wear any undies :P so heres to hoping the irritation goes away quickly thank you all though for giving me your advice on weight gains and other stuff means heaps Xo

Lol. I feel very ill with my pregnancy tablets. Then I worked out that I was taking them whenever.. Try taking them before a big feed such as dinner or lunch. That should help!
As for down below use Canestan 6 day pessary. I have never had a yeast infection before but heard about the symptoms, as you described and could not be stuffed seeing a doctor as
it was Christmas eve. So sent hubby down to chemist and he returned with the 6 day as instructed by the chemist as being the only one I could take whilst being pregnant. : ) After 3 days it was gone!

As for weight. I am at about the 12 kilo mark. Everybody type is different. Google Tori spelling pregnant and look at her now to know that the "norm" is not the norm for everyone.
Pregnancy is not a time to be gloating about how little you have gained. So don't be worried about it, I know with some girls all it does is make them upset because they are not the same. : ) What is however important is that you feel good about your body, so don't compare yourself to anyone else and just focus on you. My doctor has not weighed me but measured my tummy and I am normal. He told me I have nothing to be concerned about. Some doctors can be particularly picky but if you feel good then don't worry. From your pic I must say you look beautiful!

Btw DH sisters have given birth to 10 pound babies and they are a size 4-6. : )
