Suey2 - am feeling uncomfortable too - doesn't help that I am stuffing myself with a nice sandwich and dessert from M&S, which makes my stomach fill out more (plus a Chocy cake as it is someone's birthday at work!)

It's wierd as I have become obsessed with food since I have become pregnant - if I'm not eating it I want to know what other people are having! I NEED to be good. Put on 4 stones with my previously pregnancy as I took eating for 2 quite seriously and defo trying to be so much more healthy this time (except today ).

Bouncingturtle · 25/06/2007 14:59

Current food cravings - Laugh Cow Triangles on toast, pickled onion Monster Munch crisps.
Plus other assorted junk

Also put on maternity outfit for first time yesterday and got loads of compliments! I guess I can't be doing too badly lol

Housemum · 25/06/2007 15:20

Anyone else finding that the last thing they want is fruit? Full of intentions to eat healthily, but would live on toast and junk if I could (oh and yummy Sunday roasts...)

mimicakey · 25/06/2007 15:42

Me too! In the last few days my belly has started to feel quite tight. It's nice to be getting a bump though

peanutbutter · 25/06/2007 15:43

skidaddle you're right, filling up on healthier stuff is the key but i seem bent on sabotaging my best efforts so far .

Cheese just has me in raptures atm .

Dh is home this week though, after being away most of the month, so that should drag me into line a bit.

mad4girls · 25/06/2007 15:47

well ive been stuffing my face with rubbish al over w/e so i must be the worst offender and i would love to eat a golden delicous apple but my tooth still hurting so i cant munch them as usual(have been craving them since beggining)

yesterday i was dying for burgers really wanted one luckily we didnt have nay but plannin on havin them for tea have one of those geroge foreman grills so hopefully drain most of the fat of(mmm drfiting off thinkin about eating them with loads of onions and tomato saucce) ooh sorry forgot i was here

thanx for all kind comments on situation with dp, nice to know soemone on my side.
used to feel alot of guilt because dp's ex would stop him seeing the children because he was with me and she said i was violent etc because i beat her and my ex up (got a criminal record now not soemthing id recommend BTW although id did feel like id won the lottery at the time it messed everything up for dp acesss, and i was doing a child care course at the time, which i couldnt continue with and have now had to go down a different carrer path) anyway used to feel really guitly, but after a while i realised all the guilt about dd's not seeing their dad etc was eating me up and wasnt getting me any where and wanted to change my life,

i had alot of help from some real friends and stayed round positive ppl, MNer babymadwithbump was a great inspirstion to me but unfortunately she is friend i recently fell out with regarding this pregnancy,hoping we might make friends again but doesnt look like ikely a shame weve known each other along time and her childrens ages are almost identical to mine and she is 35wks so would have ben nice to share this with her agin, but life is much better than few yrs ago. im happy and have days where im sad, but the most important thing to me now is that i can have days where im sad i dont feel like i want to die i just feel sad. but anyway i will shut up now as im rambling sorry

skidaddle · 25/06/2007 16:21

peanut - cheese is fine - full of protein and dairy goodness!!! don't feel bad about cheese ... now pork pies and crisps are a different story suey2

buzzy - how was your w/e - hope you had lots of good chats. Are things any clearer for you?

mad4girl - you're not rambling and great you're feeling so much more positive now. We all have rubbish days, we just need to remember that not all days are rubbish, just like you obviously are

PeckaRolloverAgain · 25/06/2007 16:29

mad4girls do you mean babymadwithbump is the woman that is now living with your exhusband or have I read that wrong?

skidaddle · 25/06/2007 16:37

hi pecka, how are you? you haven't been on for a while..

PeckaRolloverAgain · 25/06/2007 16:39

Hiya skidaddle

Im not a very good girl for posting but I do read and catch up with you all every day!

Im fine - nearly 14 weeks now and sickness definitely going. Belly really starting to pop now!!

Have been at friends wedding all weekend where I was bridesmaid and THANK GOD the dress fit heheh

skidaddle · 25/06/2007 16:43

oh good, I remember mention of that dress a while ago - now you are free to expand and bloom at your leisure!!

I am also going to a wedding soon (my own!!) - what on earth am I going to wear? Help me please everyone!

PeckaRolloverAgain · 25/06/2007 16:51

how far will you be for the wedding

one of the other bridesmaids was 9 months pregnant and looked fantastic

skidaddle · 25/06/2007 16:53

I'll be 6 months - what was the bridesmaid wearing?

suey2 · 25/06/2007 18:29

skidaddle, there is a gorgeous dress from crave, about 115 quid i think page 34/35 on this link www.cravematernity.co.uk/CraveMaternitySite/pages/richfx/richcatalog.asp.
I Know, the pork pie was naughty- i will not be repeating soon as i felt rubbish the rest of the day Although i do have fruit and yoghurt for breakfast most days

BabyMadandBIGbump · 25/06/2007 19:17

PeckaRolloverAgain WFT I wouldn't go there (again , he's a muppet) I did have A thing with him once (before mad4girl was ever with him) but no I'm not the one that ran off with mad4girls exD(twat)H, I was the one that picked the piece's up! after he ditched Mad4girls & his Kids! But I forgive you!

Caz10 · 25/06/2007 21:12

Goodness this thread moves fast! Glad to hear we are all well! What is the next big milestone for everyone? I am 16 wks today and have 20 week scan date through hooray!! Also going to see MW this week who says I should be able to listen to heartbeat - sh***g myself there won't be one...! If not though I have some mysterious disease that is making me fat and tired...

Loucee · 25/06/2007 22:17

Hi everyone

oh my goodness I have put on 6lbs! Arrggh that's all my junk food cravings stopped now! Can't believe it, I feel such a fatty.
So, need to get more active. I'm loaded with teh cold but when that's over I'll get back to swimming and gently gym. Skidaddle and other exercisers - do you stick to the bit about your heartbeat shouldn't rise above 140 bpm? I remember reading that when I was pg with DD and so whenever I was on the crosstrainer I freaked out when I went to 150. Are you still running Skidaddle?

Sorry for not being around of late, I need to be disciplined with my net time - been having a bit of a belated Spring clean (far too early for nesting!)

Thelady - your website looks great as does your hotel!

BeachBunni · 25/06/2007 23:33

May not be around in a while as my computer is making the strangest noises, taking ages to boot - think it's about to go.

Hey pecka - glad to hear you're still with us.

Spoke too soon about no stomach, popped out today from nowhere. Again, it could be not being able to go to the loo - eating prunes on a regular basis now - yuck! Don't care if it is constipation, at least I look pregnant. It's very sore just below my ribs in the muscles and skin, like a lot of stretching going on all of a sudden.

thelady. I know what you mean about staff. Thank God I'm only a manager and it's not my own business, I would end up pulling my hair out.

Oh - 20 week scan in about three weeks. I'm really nervous about this one. It seems to be more about finding out what's wrong than just looking to see if there's a wee baby floating around in there. On the other hand really looking forward to being half-way there

buzzybee · 26/06/2007 05:14

Hi thanks for asking skidaddle. haven't posted recently because I'm still all over the place. have now at least talked to a few people including MW and GP but didn't really learn anything from them I hadn't already found out from the WWW!! I THINK I will probably go ahead and have the amnio. Seems the best, least risky, time to ahve it is around 16 weeks and given the results take 3 weeks to come thru that means I will be 19 weeks before I find out. So ATM just trying to chill and relax and not let it worry me too much. Seems like the local hospital is the best option - most experienced operators and use latest equipment.
Other prob now is that I don't want to tell my work until I know the result but defintely feel like I'm starting to show and I'm only 14 weeks - how am I going to last another 5!!!
I find orange juice gives me really bad heartburn but ginger beer is fab. Not eating much dairy as leaves me with a weird taste in my mouth. Cherry tomatoes good snack if anyone's looking for something healthy.

Nbg · 26/06/2007 07:09

Skidaddle, I was reading a thread on here last week (I think) and it was a website that sold wedding and bridesmaid dresses for pregnant ladies.
I bet if you google you'll find it.
Otherwise, depending on how big your bump is, you might get into a floaty wedding dress from Monsoon.

Pecka, glad to hear the wedding went well and the dress was ok

Bouncingturtle · 26/06/2007 07:34

Hey everyone, yes struggle to eat healthily I too would live on toast. My morning sickness is definitely back, was sick sunday night, yesterday morning and this morning. Not good
Had a good night out with the girls, they all poked my bump and said yes it feels quite hard now!!!
My friend (who is now 28 weeks!) was there too, she has commented on random strangers feeling her bump and that also people tend to talk to her bump rather than her!!

beller · 26/06/2007 09:31

Loucee- I went for a "pregnant" work out plan down the gym yesturday, she said to work at 6-6.5 out of 10 effort and never feel worn out. She even gave me stomach exercises i could do lying on my side!! Was good...so if you are a member of a gym, might be worth booking up a session? Only took 1/2 hour and was free...good luck xx

suey2 · 26/06/2007 09:41

Anyone thought about help afterwards? My pals keep telling me you must have a maternity nurse/ doula/ night nurse blah blah blah. DH doesn't seem to realise i will be getting up anyway. (I know we are lucky to be able to afford this dilemma) I fancy getting my mum down for 3 weeks then going it alone.
Re abdominal exercises- as long as you are not doing sit-up type work or anything where you are bracing/ holding breath then abdo stuff is ok. A great way to get them going when preggers is to be on all fours and suck it in, keeping everything still as you move alternate arms/ legs. Any other questions i am happy to answer. (I am a physio) And make sure when standing you are not letting your hipp drift forwards more than neccesary- suck in a bit (without breath-holding) and move your pelvis back. will help hugely+++ with low back and pelvic pain.
Bouncing turtle i have just seen you are a heroes fan- me too. I am a bit gutted that the BBC have bought it- we won't get series 2 for AGES!

MamaMaiasaura · 26/06/2007 11:49
