choccie my torso is itching today, I'd read somewhere that might happen so I didn't really look further into it. It fels a bit dry, might put moisturisers on it later.
Thinking about it now I feel like I'm itching everywhere, aren't you? :D
Other skins stuff I've noticed:
I've had hundreds of tiny little red/blood freckles, some spider looking, come up since the pregnancy started, everywhere on my skin, torso, back, arms, boobs, couple on my face. They're not obvious.
The midwife and the GP said it happens sometimes. They said it may or may not go after the birth.
Anyone else got that?
Talking about BF, I'm wearing a 38 DD instead of my usualy 38B, I don't feel like my boobs are that much bigger though, maybe it's still to come, definitely pointing south
All of a sudden my nipples are huge now and dark!!! That was a bit of a shock this morning.
I haven't put pressure on myself, I have sad to relatives that I will "try" and bf, secretly knowing that it can be hard and that you som people have to struggle through it at the start.
Just had a weekend with some relatives who were visiting from France, they took some pictures of us and were showing them to us tonight and I look massive. (not sure what emoticon to use, still actually undecisive about how I feel about it.)
flynn1984 I'm with you on the weight issue, I've been eating a lot of carbs which were pretty non-existent in my pre-pregancy diet and I just feel hopeless without my 8 to 10 hour a week high intensity workouts, exercising was the only way I could manage my weight and I stopped for fear of misscarrying. (why can't I just eat less???).
Well you know what, I'm just tyring to be sensible and reasonable, not always successfully.. you can't always help putting on weight and how much you put on will vary from woman to woman. My little tips that sometimes work are: don't use your pregnancy as an excuse to pig out (I used to do that with my periods!) watch your portions, don't go for seconds, keep cakes/chocolates as a treat, don't eat deep-fried foods. (some of which I've been able to follow, others not so much.)
I'm planning on going back to the gym from around week 20 just for some light exercise, walking, cross trainer, swimming, we'll see what I feel up to.
My dh has mentionned a few times that I'm paying the gym for nothing which has angered me as I was so tired and nauseous all the time I don't see how I could have fitted it in. I promised I would go back soon to shut him up! DH's don't mean to be mean, he also said it doesn't matter how much I put on, and even though it's nice to hear, you know that for your own self esteem it would be better if you just put on the minimum required, nobody can watch what you eat for you unfortunately, it's all in your hands.
I say, just try your best but really do try.
(coming from someone who is also stuggling with it, hopefully didn't come across as patronising, just coming from my own experience).
Take care
