LADIES DUE SEPTEMBER 2015 :-)

hi Betti

I have a tummy as well... but its bigger now with the bump growing under it so u can see it much more. im also 14 weeks
my pants do not fit at the waist. its tight.. so its a squeeze to put the button on and its uncomfortable...

Morning girls

Glad to see things are going relatively well with you ladies!

YAY for another member of TEAM BLUE!! DieSwartKat!!


TCS84, hope your teeth get sorted out STAT!! Must be horrible!

Weight wise: I weighed myself yesterday morning and have gained just under 2kg in the first trimester (am 14 weeks today).

Health wise: All good so far. Sporadically slightly nauseous in the late afternoons, but more like heartburn than nausea, really. Also, having some sinus related nose bleeds, which I read are normal. And lots of round ligament pain and pulling sensations as baby's growing. My intense exhaustion is starting to let up now (thank goodness!) ANNNNND...getting up at least 4 times in a night to wee has become the norm for me.

Question:
How many of you have a bump already? I'm getting so impatient...I was a little overweight in my waist area to begin with and still am not showing AT ALL unless I'm bloated.

Congratulations DieSwartKat!!!! wow... another blue ! At this rate we will be able to start our own Moomie soccer side?

My bean will be the first grandchild on my husbands side and ive been told to becareful as im carrying precious cargo who will be carrying the surname down too lol everyone is super excited

on my side, this bean will be the second grandchild but first Boy as well...

wrt the weight , i will no worry about it. unless the Dr tells me its harming the baby. I cant wait to see ENT today to just sort out this sinus/teeth issue then i hopefully can go on with no more pain!

Hi ladies,

Congrats DieSwartKat!!! YAY for team BLUE I'm glad all looks great.

TCS84, all the best with ENT. Hopefully that sorts out your tooth issues. I can only imagine the pain you must be dealing with.

You ladies are doing really well. I've gained 2.7kg in the first trimester. I lost 1.2kg of that in the last week or so, but trying to keep an eye on it. I retain a lot of water during pregnancy and it was the same with the previous pregnancy. DSK is right. weight doesn't determine health of baby.

Have a great day further.

Hi all,

Appointment went great, everything looks fantastic. We are also TEAM BLUE! Very excited for our new addition, can now finally start getting excited. My DH is so ecstatic, this is the 4th grandchild on his side, but the first boy. He will be the only one carrying on the family name, so quite a big deal on that side.

TCS84, I weighed yesterday and I've put on exactly 100g for the whole of the 1st trimester. Some women actually lose weight, your weight has no bearing on your baby's weight. Think of the women in Somalia who are deathly thin of starvation, they have normal 3kg babies at birth.

Hey ladies

I have to see an ENT specialist tomorrow whom will hopefully help with a sinus problem and in turn teeth. Fingers crossed!

Other than that, the bean is fine. Sat sucking his fingers with his legs wide open for us to confirm its the blue team!! Hahaha also managed to see a smile!

I wanted to ask, I've only put on 200g from my last appointment to now which was 4 weeks ago. Anyone else have this problem?
From Saturday I ate not the usual amounts but I did eat. I wasn't hungry etc but that would not have dropped my weight anyway. I'm eating well now. Lots of fruits and veg and still going to gym...
What do u ladies think? Does this mean the baby will be extra small?

Hi Girls,

TCS84, tooth ache is really unbearable, there must be something they can give you. You can't live with this for the next 6 months? During my first pregnancy my teeth went really backwards to the extent that I had to have 2 root canals, but at least it was fixed and it didn't just ache for nothing.

Berry, isn't it time to ask your gynae for stronger meds? I think you said previously that you've given up on taking meds, but I can honestly vouch for both Zofran and Zofer. It helps within 30 minutes. Goodluck for you scan tomorrow

I'm doing ok, I'm not feeling so deathly sick anymore, although the feeling is still with me every morning and especially around mealtimes. I'm still battling to eat, eating far smaller portions than I used to, and generally feel ill afterwards. I'm living on Marmite toast now, and fruit.

I bought the Mom2Be supplement shake, I've taken it for the last 3 days and it does make your tummy feel a bit fuller. I try to eat something as soon as I feel the slightest hunger pains, because I start feeling sick very quickly when my tummy is empty.

My apt is at 4 today, very excited and hope to get an indication of the baby's gender. Previously we only found out at 17 weeks, so I don't have my heart set on it (but it would be REALLY exciting to know!).
