MSE pregnancy club II

Raindrops_&_Moonbeams

OK something very strange happened in the shower last night and it totally freaked me out. My boobs leaked small amounts of colostrum (sp?) and sure enough there is orange staining on my jammy top this morning too. Nothing has come out of these things for over 4 yrs so you can understand why I was shocked lol, plus I really don't know what to think re pg as I ended up doing a test yesterday in the end and it was negative. Besides I didn't get this until just before my other kids were born so its not exactly normal anyway!!!

I'm one very confused raindrop. *shuts up before boring everyone to death* :undecided

hi everyone

I have just found out i am pregnant (missed period this week) and am having symptoms that i didn't have with my other pregnancies. So i think that signs and symptoms can be different with each pregnancy.

i convinced myself each time that my period was due that i was pregnant and was looking for signs. about a week before my period i started to get aches and pains but my period never came. I did a 99p pregnancy test a day after my period was due and it came out positive.

Hi Guys

Still no more twinges- what is going on? MW said third babies can be difficult with contractions stopping and starting but nothing for days now. Not due for another two days so can't moan really.

Legs really heavy now, I really feel like a weeble. I still weigh less than when I got pregnant with other two, so can't remember how I felt being pregnant with them or how I looked. Put on about two stone this time, put on about 1 1/2 with others. Given up worrying about losing it afterwards as it's now last thing on my mind.

Had 1 week off work now and feel a little lost of an evening and have been going to bed so early.

You're not boring us - that's what this thread is for, sharing experiences! :grouphug:

But wow, what a weird situation for you! I'd say the colostrum is a pretty good pregnancy sign - why else would you get it unless you're pregnant?

Was it jo_b that said on this thread that she's had colostrum leaks right from the start of her pregnancy, so it is possible! (Hope you don't mind me bringing this up, Jo! )

I know you said it didn't happen with your other pregnancies, but pregnancies don't have to be exactly the same - just think what your body's been through already, I guess it's natural for it to react slightly differently this time!

You said the test is negative, but it's very early, isn't it, so it could be wrong.

Keep us updated, and good luck!

Hiya, hope you had a nice holiday! :j

I'll be officially starting maternity leave at almost 35 weeks, BUT I only work part-time and can pretty much choose my own hours. I have seriously cut down on my hours recently, so I'm only doing about 3 half-days a week. :T If I was working full-time, I don't think I'd last until 35 weeks

Re: weight... :rolleyes: I don't like weighing myself anyway, so am not sure exactly what my pre-pregnancy weight was, but I reckon I've put on about 12 kg, which is about 2 stone :rolleyes: Pretty sure a lot of it is water, as my ankles are huge, and my legs, and fingers, and everything else :rotfl:

No point worrying about the weight at this stage though, that's what I say - it's not too long now :cool:

It depends what point you start from - from my prepregnancy weight I've only put on a stone but then I lost a stone in the first trimester so it's 2 stone overall (I'm 31-32 weeks can't remember which) but I've only been able to eat properly for the last 4 weeks or so so I'm not a good guide. I think 2 stone is the minimum weight gain expected and the average is somewhere between 3 and 4 stone - everyone is different though.

Hee hee, I refuse to weigh myself ever since I last looked and figured out that after a quiet first trimester I suddenly put on 6kgs in like a week! That scared me, so I'm not checking anymore.

Speaking of apetite though, I find it strange that in the beginning I found it hard to eat any real quantities, being able only to ingest small meals. But now that my bump is huge my portion sizes have returned to normal
Where is it all going? Although if I overeat, boy do I feel it!

On maternity leave now!!!! Well actually I'm on four weeks holiday first so my maternity actually starts at 33 weeks.

My house is finally resembling normality after weeks of being too knackered after work for it!!!

As for weight lets just say my appetite has finally returned with a gusto!!
