MSE Pregnancy Club 28

clare1angel

Hi Everyone,

I have been a long time lurker and did post in the less than 12 weeks pregnant thread when I was about 5 weeks pregnant back in September 2013 but since then hadn't felt brave enough to post as I was always worried something would happen after having a mc in November 2012 - I know writing on forum would not change anything but I kind of put myself in a protective bubble - hope that doesn't sound too crazy lol

Well I'm pleased to say I am 28 +1 and all is going well so would like to be added to the list if that is ok? My due date is 27th May 2014 and we are team yellow :-)

I put on so much weight during the first trimester and half way through the second. I basically ate my body weight in carbs in a desperate attempt to curb my sickness. It then got to the point where I had to stop otherwise I would have to spend the next million years trying to get it off again. Since then I have gone back to my home cooking as much as possible, although I do have to admit there are plenty of tired moments where I have just gone 'lets just order it instead'. I know I am not as good as I was before getting pregnant (I was a target member at Slimming World). I am trying very hard to now control the weight gain and intend to get straight back to SW as soon as I give birth. On the flip side of that I am totally addicted to milk shake. Lets just say that it is a good thing I am only able to get to the supermarket once a week lol. xxx

I had a look at the Rasberry Leaf Tea but I can't use it as it says if you had a quick labour not to (less than 3 hours).

edit.....I am eating us out of house and home its rediculous. I just can't help it!
I like any food. I have gained a lot of weight but I am really not bothered now. There is a small little reason in my belly

Welcome to the newbies.....I will just do the list now.

Hi everyone

Not been on here but often reading

I am 37 weeks tomorrow. Had a bit of a stressy pregnancy, at the moment my amniotic fluid is quite high though below the warning line so am worrying about that...

... legs, ankles, hands badly swollen though no sign of Pre-Eclampsia..

can't wait until she is here!

I have been craving the smell of the underground... weird, and as strong a craving as a fag (I used to smoke, I don't now)..

.. have gained 2 stone in this pregnancy! Have got SPD...

.. so as I said.. be glad when little one decides to make an appearance! Was scanned today for presentation and she isn't breech anymore, she is head down... So that's something

What is raspberry leaf tea? How is it meant to help? Never really heard of it before.

SmlSave

Yay finally someone else on here who craves weird smells!

Omg if I was still working in London I know I would be loving the smell of the underground, just you saying that now I can almost smell it! Mmm! My fav smells are car de-icer - although barely used it this year, maybe like 3 times!, nail varnish remover, nail varnish, paint, and the wood smell of our nursery furniture I just go in open the cupboard door and sniff! I love it! Unfortunately the smell of the wood in the room is gone now, despite my best efforts to keep the door shut to keep it in there.

I hate the smell of fags though and still do

But loved a bonfire smell the other day. Ive also got spd and gained over 2 stone now. Think Im up to about 2st 6.

If it wasnt for the fact all the smells I like are like dangerous ones, apart from the wood, perhaps I could just go sniff something instead of my constant eating! :rotfl:

Its supposed to help tone your uterus. I think if you want to use it its best to get the capsules as the tea will be pretty diluted. But there are some reasons why you shouldnt use it. So I cant take it myself.
