I am desperately hoping that the weight comes off with BF! I'm putting weight on round my butt and it's annoying! I don't know if it's because I'm less active with the hip and back problems or what - but guessing it's not helping... the dog is getting hyper as she's mainly relying on the 45 minute lunch walk with her dog walker at the moment instead of a couple of walks a day... grrrrr
Not good for either of us
Can't wait to get my mobility back so I can go walkies again and take bubs with me... and the dog obviously!

This time around I have only put on 20lbs and am now 33 + 5 weeks and I am hopeful that I wont be putting on the 3 and half stone I put on with both DS1 and DS2. Mind you I lost it pretty easily both times though.

I have no idea how much I have put on... due to be weighed later this week though when going to MW appointment - for all my doctors appointments I haven't been weighed at any of them so apart from when I went to see the consultant at the hospital then I haven't the faintest ideas what tonnage I am now...
Feel HUGE... *sigh* oh well at least I ought to look pregnant at 28 weeks I guess

Hello all!

Just thought I would catch up with you all and some of my info conveniently ties up with what you guys have been chin wagging about!

Had my 28 week scan today so got to see the twins again - it was fantastic! Twin 2 has turned so they are now both head down which is good news. Had to turn away at one point as one was lying again with its legs wide open for all and sundry to see what it had and we still want a good old fashioned surprise. Plus, the scanner was able to give me the current weights of them - Twin 1 is 2lb 6oz and Twin 2 is 2lb 10oz! I asked about my weight as I have only put on 18lbs so far - nurse said this was fine and it is "all babies" and not on me as they are showing up healthy weights.

Everything is going well so far for me and I have a midwife appointment next week and another scan booked in in a month at 32 weeks for me.

Pregnancy wise, after the bad flare up of hearburn, this has eased slightly. Constipation is back with a vegence and for the past week or so I have suffered insominia - keep waking up in the night, can't get back to sleep so end up in bed reading. Leaky boobs are still there since is started about 10 weeks ago.

That's all folks!

MFD -Sorry your appt didn't go to well. Don't listen to that stooopid doctor he obviously has no people skills whatsoever!
I am only 5ft 2in and ds1 weighed 9lb 6oz, ds2 weighed 8lb 4oz and he was 3wks early!! (so would have been a whopper!!) You will be fine with a 8lb-9lb baby:)
I don't know what centile I was on when got referred for scan, but I was well outside the shaded area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also on the weight issue - I gained 4st with ds1, 3st 7oz with ds2, and 1st 7oz this time:) with only 17 days till due date.

iphone is up and running, I think!! Wouldn't allow me to set up wi-fi then all of a sudden it was working (I have no idea what I did....)

hi feelinggood, i hope im at least 12 weeks, but i havent really got a clue, i think my last period was around oct / nov. ive just had a letter changing my scan date to 9th march, then another appt to discuss my history on 21st april.

i lost loads of weight whilst breast feeding jackson, i ended up thinner that i was before i got pregnant, i think it was a combination of breastfeeding, eating a bit healthier and no alcohol for over 12 months!

Jacksons Mum - your scan is same week as mine - that's 3 that week!!

Just a quickie to say hello, congrats and hugs to those that need them.

We have now purchased a baby bouncer, loads of 2nd hand but in very good condition clothes and a 2nd hand Mamas and Papas pushchair - All for less than £50!! Very MSE :money:

I know we should be waiting but we can't resist a bargain.

MFD - I am so ranty today I want to kill your doctor!! Knobhead. If it helps at all I had a growth scan at 39 too because my baby was apparently massive. Measured his length, tummy and feet and said I was looking at 10lb and not to bring newborn clothes into the hospital or nappies and to go straight to next size up. I am 5 foot 8 by the way.

In the end my little one was 7lb 7.5oz!!! EVERYTHING swamped him. OH had to go and find newborn stuff out of the bags I had packed it all away in. His hospital outfit was massive and he looked so little inside it!!

His feet however were MASSIVE!!! And he was on 80th centile for height but was 50th for weight so he was just tall. Please don't let the hospital worry you.
