Hi again everyone, wondering whether anyone can set my mind at rest this evening? I'm seeing my midwife on Wednesday and am sure there's no need to trouble her before then, just looking for reassurance really!

I'm nearly seventeen weeks right now, and have not put on a single pound in weight yet - does this seem normal to you lot? I've never been one to weigh myself but when I found out at six weeks I was expecting, I went out and bought a set of scales and weighed eight stone six that day. Haven't bothered since, and expected I would have gained a bit cos my trousers are tighter, but weighed today and am still exactly the same weight! Can't help wondering is this ok? Twelve week scan was fine, haven't seen any medical types since, feeling well and my tummy feels a little bit..harder...every day so I am hoping all is well. Any thoughts?

Have you had very bad morning sickness missbunbury?

BB - congratulations! I hope you make a quick recovery. Enjoy your mummy cuddles!

rjh - good luck with the discharge thing. Please let us know what it was.

I'm now officially under 20 on the list :eek: Is it time to start getting worried?

I'm sure it's nothing to worry about hun, it's possible you lost a little bit of weight at the beginning and the baby is recompensing for that. I would just mention it to your midwife at your appointment. x

Hello!

Just a quickie from me... Our little Oscar was born last Tuesday 12/06/12 at 7.59am at 6lbs9oz and 36+2... C-sect due to placental abruption but were home now and little one is doing very well.

So for all of you ladies who are being warned to slow down, Please SLOW DOWN!! Luckily it was caught early and we were taken straight in.

Being a mummy is fantastic, but be warned the first night is a bit of a shock... But now we're much more settled and little one is doing well.

Congratulations to the other new mummies out there ( and Daddies ww2b!) and take care of yourselves and your bumps, they are just to precious to not take it easy.

Much love xx

Missbunbury - I wouldn't worry too much about it. I'm just over 22 weeks and have only put about 8lbs so far. I've been lucky that I haven't been sick at all so definitely not that. The bump only really started developing a few weeks ago and even now, some people still can't tell I'm pregnant. I've read we're supposed to gain 1lb every week but we all gain weight at different rates so try not to compare to others. I was worried at some point too until I noticed that we all varied so much in how much we put on! Your scan will tell you if there are any problems but not putting any weight on isn't necessarily a bad sign.

(edit: I took so long to type that ikkle already replied!)

I'm starting to feel uncomfortable at times, just feeling the belly tight and sometimes can't settle when lying down/sitting in certain positions. It's not too bad but I'll definitely be glad to finish work. Is anyone here temping? I've a few more weeks to go but I just can't wait!!

Congrats rakkibeth and all the others who are probably too busy having cuddles now

Have to apologise for some queue jumping...we had a baby boy this morning at 2.58, weighing in at 7lb 9oz. A quick delivery - labour pains started at just gone midnight, by the time triage examined me at about 145 I was 9 cm dilated (with no pain relief, I was in quite a lot of pain as you can imagine!). Got a room with a birthing pool, and -thank god - some gas and air - but by the time baby was delivered pool was only 1/4 full! Fantastic midwife really helped me with positions and when to push. He is absolutely gorgeous, DD is over the moon with her new baby brother. Name tbc.

Back home now, only slight worry is that he has sicked up green and yellow vomit, they said he had slight jaundice but let him go after blood tests so I assume I will just mention it to the health visitor tomorrow. Completely exhausted now!

Congrats to bb, ww2br, rakkibeth and anyone else I've missed. Must squeeze some sleep in before the next feed!

rakkibeth - congrats! Glad you're doing well and little Oscar is settling in well at home. Can you tell us some more about the placental abruption so we know what symptoms to watch out for?

missbunbury - I was also worried that I am not gaining weight. Mentioned it to my MW and she said not to worry. She said they stopped weighing people as weight gain/loss does not mean anything. I was weighed once at my first appointment and haven't been weighed since.
