when i was pregnant last time i couldnt hide it by 9weeks.....and the amount of oh u must be further along and are u having twins.......in the end i just said yes because i couldnt be bothered explaining...i put on 30 kilos.........this time my stomach has popped out but then i eas only just pregnant four months ago......no doubt ill be huge again....people always comment....ur either to big or to small....
Ferrals your bigger then me (I am 2weeks behind) I'll post mine when I get around to it. I can feel it getting higher and higher the fundus but it hasn't fallen forward much. My SIL is 4weeks ahead of me and we look about the same but its her first so maybe she is smaller as she isn't pre-stretched like me. I don't think I'll get very big this time.
Oh ferrals cute belly shot! when u were saying u had really popped out i thought u meant it! I think thats the perfect size tum for 20 weeks i wld love to have a tummy going on in 4 weeks time but not sure if its going to happen.. right now i just have a pot belly that im only just starting not to be able to suck in!
Ill be back later to do persies and tell u whats been going on in the life of reet!
Ohhh cute ferrals! Lovely bump!! Gosh i think im gunna have a whopper bump - Im a size 12 build but i have a flat tummy so its already popping a little !! My boobies are melons!!!!! Whoa!!
Had another scan yesterday and bubs is going really well - we are a whopping 2.5cm in size now!!! Monster!!! hehehe! we drove past our hospital and I got so excited! Doc said everything looks wonderful!
Question.... im so blocked up right now and having shocking gut aches and back pain from all the constipation.... anyone have any remedies?? Ive tried pears but they just arent cutting it anymore!!!
cute belly......i was double the size......i dont know why i get so big.....seriously i look four months now...it must be bloating and from the mc...........anyone else pop out real quick?
Melster/Forshelby/Reet/Mildez: I had a belly going at 23 weeks, and if I wore tight clothes at 15 weeks there was definate ''rounding'' LOL! Tiger has always been a little low, so I was in maternity jeans (the wonder of maternity jeans!) quite early on cos it was uncomfortable to do up zippers and buttons. I was size 10/12 and the size 10 part of my wardrobe got totally ignored from week 9. I get asked when I'm due now, lol. One lady was shocked when I said I had 10 weeks to go But a few weeks ago a saleslady asked who I was buying the baby clothes for, umm for my baby? She said she hadn't noticed I was pregnant!
T-hopes: Prunes. Break out the prunes honey! And warm lemon water when you first wake up. And if all else fails - metamucil is totally safe.
AFM, our furbaby ran away yesterday, but luckily we got him back last night, PHEW!! He's spent all day sleeping and purring. Typical. Tiger's started shoving his butt out at me, which I think is ridiculously cute And I think I can feel the difference between elbows and fingers. Hopefully painting the nursery this weekend, woot woot! Can't believe my baby is gonna live there!
T-Hopes - So glad all is going well Here are my remedies so far. Bananas. Sultanas. PUMPKIN. And, if you dare, a teeny bit of coffee. (also cures headaches sometimes, ask Reet LOL). I find usually a couple of sips of a coffee get me er... in the mood.
Kit - I guess we're just all different belly wise, huh? I popped out pretty quickly, but then I'm not really one to 'suck in' lol. I just went with it, and let it all hang out so to speak. Nobody has commented when I buy baby things, so I'm assuming it's obvious! Sooo glad you got your furbaby back, it's hard not to spoil them after a scare like that, even though they should be grounded. Lol..... oh and how cute is that, sticking the little bum out..... hehehe. Have fun decorating the nursery!
There is hardly any difference. Belly is hard except up the top of the belly button is all squishy. It pops out more when I'm lying down. I think all the fat falls down and just leaves the sticking up belly lol its definately getting higher. Fundus is at my belly button now.
thopes - Dried apricots. Dates. Sultana bran with psyllium husk on top. Beans and lentils! But constipation has been far from my problem this pg!
Kit - I am constantly getting the browneye! Sometimes it's SO uncomfortable. And we have been greeted by a bum at every single scan. Baby takes after its mummy and daddy. Neither of us are afraid to chuck a moonie!
ferrals and mildez you both have such adorable bellies! Mine's kinda too epic to post Actually, it's not. Saw a friend today for the first time in years and she couldn't believe I was 37 weeks. I can't believe this is really happening.
I had a massive walk around the shops today - was really good and completely tired me out. Have to walk up to the hospy tomorrow for my appointment too, I think. Hopefully I feel up to it. I can sook out and catch the bus home if I need to.
Tegam- Wow ur still sleeping on ur tummy?!! u must be tiny! can we have a tummy pic?? I love looking at them! Were u small with ur other kids??
Melster- Are u having a nice relaxing holiday or have u got stuff planned for every day? Hope ur managing to do some relaxing each day! Will u continue to see ur ob. right throughout ur pregnancy?
I was super bloated too straight away.. after going to the toilet (i was quite constipated which i think bloated me up too) my tummy wld go flat again tho thank goodness! Its only just at that stage where it wont go back in when i suck in or empty my bowels!
Sunshine&stars- I hope ur 2 parishioners are doing ok, what terrible things to happen. Excellent that ur drs appointment went well!
Angelfish- Is it tuesday over there yet?? have u found out if u have to have a c section?
Forshelby- Woohoo for finally DTD!!! I really dont know how ur dp goes without for so long.. sometimes i wish mine was more like that.. but im so used to doing it everyday now it feels weird to go to sleep at night without doing it! It feels like we are arguing or something! But yes i am lucky cos i get a bit of time off when hes working away. We have had to start doing it shallow now (tmi!).. had a little bit of bleeding a couple nights ago.. it was only the tiniest little bit when i was cleaning up but it made us super paranoid.. i dont know where it came from cos there was no pain whatsoever.. maybe it was just the universe telling us to tone it down a bit!!
Oh and ive gotta thank you once again! I have been having a coffee every morning and have been feeling GREAT!! Its honestly the best i have felt since i fell pg! I really think my body needs that caffeine hit to function.. it didnt know what to do when i wasnt having a v everyday. I have way more energy plus im happier! Its wonderful!
Audax- Can we have a tummy pic from u too pls before its gone???!
T-Hopes- I had exactly ur problem until about 12-13 weeks.. nothing seemed to work.. i finally bought some psyllium husk from the natural health store.. and it worked a treat! I just had a tsp in a glass of juice a day.. really easy to drink.. doesnt taste like anything. Get urself some! Its really really high in fibre. Oh and when u go to bed or wake up in the morning take some time to massage ur tummy.. rub some massage oil onto it and rub in a clockwise direction.. i found that worked well.. even just to release some gas! Good luck!!
Mildez-Wow there really is no difference between the pics hey! Im going to take a new belly pic tomoro.. im hoping it looks a little bit bigger.. it will probably end up looking the same as it did 4 weeks ago tho!
Kit- What colour are u painting the nursery?? U dont know the sex do u? How exciting! We have decided we will start buying and decorating at xmas time.. ill be over half way then.. i cant wait!!
Kell- How are u feeling?? Have u got the 2nd trimester glow yet?
AFM- Quick question! This just happened now while i was writing this.. i felt a tightening and laid down flat so i cld get a good feel.. and my uterus was bulging out but only on one side! Its weird! Ive felt my uterus go into a tight ball quite a few times but the whole thing has bulged and tightened.. its weird that only one side of it did this time! Has this happened to anyone else?? I love when it happens.. i can feel exactly where my uterus is.. its almost up near my belly button now! yay!
I finally cant suck my tummy in.. no hiding it now! It still just looks like a pot belly tho.. it feels good to be finally popping a bit tho!
Had ob. appointment yesterday.. i was kinda freaking before i went.. it was the first check up since i had bleeding a couple weeks ago.. everything looked fine tho!! Baby was moving around and measuring perfectly thank goodness! I got my referral for 20 week scan.. the countdown is ON!!! Im going to wait til im exactly 20 weeks i think.. well i hope i can! I just figure that the baby shld do a bit more growing between 18-20 weeks so we will get clearer shots of everything the longer we wait. I just hope the next 4 weeks goes quickly!
Im not sure if im feeling anything yet.. if i am its just little movements.. i cant wait til i can go yep that was definitely the baby!
Anyway better jump off.. this has taken me forever to write!
Will be back tomoro with link to my fb page to show u my new tummy pics!
