Part 3 already! And there is a split in the group. Hopefully everyone joins on this one. Shall we try and get a list of due dates going? I'm also interested to know where people live if they'd like to share. Not sure what other info would be needed. Also if anyone wants to join the fb group let me know.

Hope everything goes well 🤞🏼

@NotAsGreenAsCabbageLooking thanks for replying. We mmc’d last year. Awful! I remember not feeling as tired... funny how it’s different with everyone xx

Nth timers, are you "showing" yet? Honestly as soon as I got my BFP my uterus was like "hey! I know what to do here!" and sprang out and I look 32 weeks pregnant!

I was really tiny when pregnant with DD (will try to find a pic!!) so I'm struggling with my fat bod right now Sad

maxiflump1 · 10/07/2018 20:20

@emoji yes my belly is huge! I caught sight of myself in the mirror earlier and I look about 5/6 months! With my first I didn't move to maternity wear until about 16/17 weeks but at this rate I'll be in them at 10!

thismeansnothing · 10/07/2018 20:21

@emoji with DD I didn't get a bump till about 26/27 weeks and even at 42 weeks i wasn't huge. I was a size 14/16 before so putting that down to strong core muscles.

Body has had a 6 year break this time and ATM I just look like I've had a few too many carbs. Which tbh isn't too far from the truth 😂

I'm watching One Born Every Minute. Not sure if it's a good idea! 😬😬😬😬

preggoagainwithnumber3 · 10/07/2018 20:24

Thank you :)

Yakadee · 10/07/2018 20:24

I know what you mean! I really feel like I'm showing already, it's crazy! I've been on hols from work so dreading going back to work next week - I'm sure everyone will know!! X

hayleyfx · 10/07/2018 20:34

@Yakadee absolutely had to share! 🤣

I’m 10 weeks today and I’m so bloated. Sickness is very on and off now, had a day of feeling good yesterday and today I’ve not been able to eat anything! 2 weeks until my next scan, starting to get nervous again 🤞

Thanks for the solidarity ladies :)
I think I've been lucky with the weather being so warm I've just been wearing dresses but I'm pretty sure my jeans won't fit now and I'm only 8 weeks!

I remember 3 days before I was being induced I was buying some extra newborn size onesies from Mothercare and the sales assistant asked if I wanted a gift receipt. I said no, they're for me, I'm 38 weeks pregnant and she couldn't believe it!

This time round I've already ordered my Baby on Board Badge so people KNOW I'm pregnant and not just fat (although I am also fat Grin )

Cele I love OBEM!!

Yakadee · 10/07/2018 20:36

(I'm bigger than you) but I'm the same! I wore a maternity dress today because I was somewhere nobody knew me! X

emoji · 10/07/2018 20:56

Here I am at 37 weeks 😳 And that's with tight clothing. With a baggy jumper or coat I could still hide my bump.

I know to first timers I probably look huge 😄 Actually looking back I think omg I can't believe I was so big but I consistently measured small and DD was a diddy little baby.

Bluelagoon25 · 10/07/2018 21:01

@Celebelly I have been watching one born every minute too... it's so nice to see the beautiful babies!

ronniemipperton · 10/07/2018 21:09

I’ve been watching the Letdown on Netflix to prepare myself. It’s very funny if slightly terrifying! www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2017/oct/25/the-letdown-review-an-affecting-portrait-of-motherhood-with-spoonfuls-of-comedy

maxiflump1 · 10/07/2018 21:10

What a neat little bump you had @emoji. This was me at 39 weeks with my first but he was nearly 9 pounds!!!

@celebelly I love OBEM! I watched it throughout my first pregnancy and I think it actually helped a bit. Not sure how but you see so many different births etc you know not to expect anything!

That is a very neat 37 week bump! I was ginormous at 37 weeks!

Yakadee · 10/07/2018 21:18

I was massive at 38 weeks! Dread to think what I'll look like this time! At least my son was 9lb2! Lol xx

This was me at 42+2 (I had her the next day) lord knows where I was hiding her

@thismeansnothing that's tiny for 42+2!!

thismeansnothing · 10/07/2018 21:32

She was 7lb14 so not tiiiiiny either. Would have been interesting to see how small sage would have been if she'd been on time.

jeanzbeanz · 10/07/2018 21:50

Cyclizine seems to be really helping the nausea for me 😊 I was sick when I first got up, but took one tablet in the morning and one in the afternoon and only just started to feel sick this evening. Debating whether to try three tablets tomorrow or stick with two for now? I definitely feel like they are making me feel even more tired / dopey.

Since2016 · 10/07/2018 21:52

Ahhh bumpies. I was ENORMOUS at 40 weeks. DD was 9 pounds 10.

Yup.

ELCS all the way the midwife was horrified 😂

Since2016 · 10/07/2018 21:57

Due date with DD. I didn't show properly until 25 weeks (I was desperate to show earlier!) and this time I have a bump at 8. Aghhhh!

I'm going to be ginormous!

emoji · 10/07/2018 22:26

Wow @Since2016 ! My bump was small because DD was only 5lb 8oz. But like you I have a bump (fat) at 8 weeks too now!

emoji · 10/07/2018 22:28

Glad to hear you're feeling better @jeanzbeanz If you want some empathy and sound advice from knowledgable ladies with HG there's a HG support thread in Pregnancy which is lovely (I'm on there too!) x
