Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! Part 3

Oh my goodness Pigpen, you're now freaking me out at the prospect of gaining so much weight! :eek: :rotfl: Did it come off quickly/easily afterwards?

Will you ladies just check your details on the list for me please? I'm sure I'm missing some scan dates on there! Also if anyone else wants to go on please just shout up!

Becca, I'm in dresses all the time too now! I did wear a skirt the other day and looped a bobble around the button, put it through the button hole then looped it around the button again- made it loads more comfortable! :T It's little things like tights too (not that I need them right now, but I usually wear tights all the time at work) and they're feeling too snug so I'll have to buy some bigger ones!

After most of them yes.. after the last 2 .. being quite so old it did take a bit more effort. This is the reason I am trying REALLY hard not to eat crap at the moment but the baby is a carnivore and just wants meat!!!!

I am 33 weeks and gained just over 2.5 stone already

I'm a DD but my b00bs haven't grown at all, just been tender. So far I have bloated but not gained any weight - probably because I have gone off chocolate.

Birdie - I have finally got a scan date but it isn't until the 29th July and I think I will be 14 weeks by then. Can't really complain as I have already had 3 scans. Pretty sure I am 12 weeks on Thursday but the early scan dates aren't accurate at all so still going by LMP/ovulation dates.

Good news about finally getting a scan date Firefly, not so good that it's so late!

This weight gain breakdown is quite interesting, can't believe that you gain 4lbs of extra blood and 3lbs of boob!



I do really hope that a) I don't gain too much weight and b) it drops off easily once baby's born! Trying really hard to eat sensibly, but it's an internal battle every night when I just want to eat junk food and have to force myself to be sensible!

Finally got my scan date not until 30th July.

Midwife was ok, bit gutted they didn't have the proper notes so I have some bits of paper. Made me a bit down but they hope to have some in at my 16 week appointment.

Bleeding has stopped again. Midwife said I could call the EPU but she thinks as its very dark its old blood. Fresh blood she advised she woukd be concerned about.

So just got to sit patiently for two weeks. Xx

When I had the last one I went from 11s4 to 13st10... after my waters had broken and I had had a 5lb 4oz baby I had lost a total of... 3lb!!!!!!! it then took me a year to lose the remaining weight.

The weight doesn't go on overnight you are probably not going to lose it all overnight.. besides you won't care so much

I also found I didn't lose an ounce until I stopped breastfeeding when it dropped off pretty quickly.

Birdie85

LOL Pigpen, your body clearly wasn't keen on giving up any of it's lovely extra weight that it had gained! Not sure how such a tiny loss is even possible though?!

Glad the bleeding has stopped Sam. Again, such a late '12' week scan though!

Thanks for the weight breakdown Birdie, that's really interesting!
That will be hilarious if I gain stones, my whole adult life I've hovered around the 9st mark, I'm only 5ft 1, have little B boobs, always had a big bum though! Looking forward to the changes but I'm sure hubby won't like it if I get enormous, oh well tough!

Are you having an early scan for any particular reason? I'm really tempted to get one at 8 weeks so that I can then tell my mum the good news.

6+4 today, time feels like it's going backwards!!!!

because I have pcos and was under the care of the FS they are just giving me one. I didn't ask but I'm glad I'm having it!

When it takes place ill be 6+5 (only 4+2 from ov day though). Will they actually be able to see anything! I'm worries that its too soon to tell what's going on!

Just heard about a colleagues wife whose baby stopped growing at 6 weeks but didn't find out til 12 week scan. Makes you absolutely paranoid, it's so sad.

That's kind of why I'm putting off going to the nurse to tell them I'm preg, I'm worried I'll have a scan and they'll tell me the baby stopped growing at 6 weeks or something and that's why I don't really feel any symptoms... I shouldn't think negatively but I can't help it!

9+1 (I hope)
