Mommys to be in SEPTEMBER 2010

Ginah my appointment is at 4pm. Watching this clock like a hawk, can't wait for the time to come!

Welcome Mama M.
I wonder where Melanie and Belinda are?
Kerry is also not on here.
Will check if they are still on FB tonight.

Hi mamas n mamas in da waiting.....

For a minute i thought i would neva hear from all of you,PF is so not user friendly anymore. I trust you are all well, Let me reintroduce myself, I am a first tym mom2be n expecting a lil boy, my EDD is 05/09/2010. Going for my next appointment on 03/05 of which I believe is the foetal assessment scanning. Take care ladies.

You ladies are lucky.
With my first pregnancy I gained 26kg and lost
the first 13 easily but struggled with the rest.
This time around I am trying to be careful but the weight is pilling on. I am only 18 weeks
preggo but have gained 8kgs already. I am hoping this will slow down as I dont wanna get to the 20s coz I also struggle with weight.

Huggles what time is you appointment?
Ladies in Jozi do you know a place that sells
nice compactums at a reasonable price?

I'm the opposite to you Miggie - I've always struggled with my weight. Was overweight when i fell pregnant and have always struggled to lose. Was so happy when the weight just started falling off without trying at the beginning of my pregnancy

I know I will gain weight whilst pregnant and a lot of it will come off again when baby is born. But as I have always tended towards the heavy side I just want to try and be careful not to gain too much unnecessary weight. (they do say the heavier you are when you fall pregnant the less weight you should gain in your pregnancy)

im not build big and started this pregnancy at 50kg. im enjoying everything so much from the kicking 2 the weight gaining. ive always struggled 2 put weight on so im happy. my sister is also small and she gained 20kg and didn't look big and she lost it all

Hey miggie,

I've picked up 3.2kg so far. I lost weight in the beginning - almost 6kg! Then we went on holiday for 2 weeks and when we came back i'd gained 2kg. We didn't eat very well though so i doubt very much it was all baby. Then for the last 2 weeks i've gained 600g per week.

I figured that sounded like a good normal weekly weight gain until i worked out that if i continue to gain 600g per week for the next 20 weeks it adds up to 10kg! But we have been eating a fair amount of junk food these past 2 weeks - lot's of parties - so perhaps i should just cut down on the junk food and see what happens.
