I'm now down 27 pounds and I'm 10 days pp, but I think that's all my water weight lost, which means I have 30 pounds of good solid flab to lose ;-) grrrrr to all those burgers ans chips I ate throughout!! It's going to be so difficult not to get impatient with it, especially after such a hefty weight loss in my first 2…

I lost 17 pounds just 24hrs after my baby boy was born, but he weighed a whopping 10pounds!! Im currently 3 days pp and haven't list anymore yet but my milk has just come in and my uterus is still a very impressive pouch! I'm hoping that over the next 2 weeks I will lose another 7 pounds, but then I think the remaining…

Im 38.5 weeks and up 60 pounds!! So looking forward to seeing the scales drop their numbers now!! It'll be nice just to be able to run up the stairs after Ive had some chocolate! or take the dogs on a super long walk after Ive eaten some crisps!! I'm on countdown now, even if my scales are still on the up!!

my MIL really doesn't agree to the fact that I work, and that I hope to work again once this little fella is here. My little girl is absolutely thriving in nursery (kindergarden) and I love my work and the challenges it brings. I believe I have a very good work life balance and a strong relationship with my daughter and my…

I am still very very pregnant :-( But I do still have 2 weeks left :-( and i don't feel anything is about to happen anytime soon. Roll on end of December and then we will all have our babies, me included :-)

THIS WORKS I PROMISE!! Grind up 1-2 tablespoons of linseed (also known as flax or flaxseed) and add to whatever you are eating. Drink an extra glass of water when you are eating them (the water helps the seeds swell in the intestines which then acts as roughage. IMPORTANT!!! This is a natural laxative so work your way up…

36.5 weeks and 56 pounds up......sigh :-( I gained 45 with my first (lost all of that plus an extra 15...looks like I'm going to exceed that with this one!! ) I'll very much be back to square one!!! I'm so ready to start seeing the pounds go the opposite way now!! I know he will be worth it, but boy am I ready!!

with my first I had a ton of BH contractions. They were a tight band that formed right across my belly, very similar to the tightness felt whilst blood pressure is taken, (except the tightness is around the belly, not the arm!) Mine were never painful, but often made me catch my breath and I had to stop what I was doing.…

I drank this with my first and my labor was 36 hours, so I don't believe it necessarily reduces labor time. However I didn't tear at all (only grazed) and I have birth to a 9.2 pounder! so I do believe there is something in it. It's to do with all the vitamins and minerals in it. I also drank it after giving birth and my…

yippee! so glad December is finally here! I'm due at the end so I know I won't be posting that I've 'dropped' for a while yet, but so glad we are now on the last stretch! I'm 50 pounds up (yes it's mainly belly) but boy I am feeling it! back pain, hip pain and aching legs have all been present for a while...I need Baby…

I've read that diarrhoea can be an early labor sign. i lost my mucus plug in the day then that night i woke through thenight thinking something was a bit strange and came downstairs, no sooner was i downstairs and just sat on the sofa and my waters broke (big gush!) i went to the loo and there was a pop and a second gush!…

thankyou all for your kind reassuring words. The main reason for my concern is that my first got stuck (however with a little intervention she did come out and i didn't even tear!!) i like the thought of my bump being full of fluid, though he does feel quite sizable from his movements! it's reassuring to hear that some of…

Wow, you are going to be busy! I went for a growth u/s at 33 weeks and baby was 4 lbs 5oz!! I have another u/s at 37 weeks. I have a feeling my baby is already over 5 lbs and I still have 6 weeks left to go :-( very scared about the size of this baby :-(

Thankyou ladies :-) I had put on 14 pounds by week 12, but eating was the only thing that stopped me from feeling sick! I'm easily up 2 dress sizes but I was tiny pre-pregnancy (119 pounds and 5ft 6, i was a UK size 8 and think I'm now a 12) but my first weighed 9.2 pounds so think my body naturally prepared me for a big…

I will very much be restarting! Will prob leave it a week or two is here, but I think the sooner I start logging the better, will prob start my weight loss plan 6 weeks after (gentle exercise) but last time I lost loads by just breastfeeding, so I can't wait to start logging those pounds lost again!!

I felt my first at 16 weeks, this one I definitely felt at 12weeks hubby felt him on the outside at 18weeks and he's been a wriggle bottom since then! This is a big baby though. Profile pic is me at 33 weeks!

34 weeks and up 40 pounds! But was the same with my first, and as you can see from my pic, most of it has gone around the tummy region!! Really ready to start shifting some of it! Roll on next 6 weeks!!

I'm due on Jan 2nd but went for a scan last week and my little fella is measuring big so they want to re-scan in 3 if the little fella has grown more than he should have done they may induce me, so hope you all don't mind me gatecrashing this group ;-) you are you all feeling? I'm tired, fed up and just want him here now…

Congratulations to all who have had their little ones. I'll be 34weeks on Wednesday and have to say I'm really feeling it this time! Really want to meet my little fella and get my body back!! Hope all of your ladies are having a healthy and happy pregnancy :-) and I Hope the time goes quickly for all of us so our wee ones…

- that constipation can hit badly even if you eat TONS of fibre, exercise and drink plenty of water - that nasal congestion and nose bleeds are actually normal! - that you favourite scented candles, perfumes and husbands aftershave will smell SO bad!! - that you may experience a strong metalic taste in your mouth when you…

Huge congratulations on your beautiful boy :-) you sound almost identical to me! I put on 14 pounds in first trimester, but in the last 6 weeks I have only gained 2 pounds; I'm now starting to grow into my bump and feel that the fluid is reducing. I put on a total of 45 pounds with my first, but like you lost a lot of it…

I'm another neck fan! Hubby knows it works every time ;-)

Mine were: fresh mint in hot water - just sip it Cucumber Crackers Oranges That's what has helped this pregnancy....my last pregnancy- NOTHING helped!!

Name: Nikki Hubby: Craig How many kids do you have: A beautiful 2 year old Due Date: Jan 2nd 2013 Do you know the gender: Not yet; we have a gender scan booked in on July 21st and I'm SO excited to know!! Have you picked out the baby's name: Emily (not definite just a name we both like) Where do you live?: Scotland…

January 2nd! :-D Congrats to everyone, feel free to add me!

Hi all, I'm 13 weeks and have gained 14pounds already, but that still puts me at a healthy BMI so I'm not too worried. And I'm now the weight that I was at the start of my first pregnancy. With my first I gained about 45 pounds...but my little girl weighed 9.2 pounds! So I lost a lot of weight pretty quickly after I had…

Best of luck Jenniens, I know that 2 week wait can feel like the longest two weeks! Hope you get the result your after :-)

Hi all! Many congratulations to you all!! I'm 12.5 weeks pregnant and due on 2nd Jan. would love some extra buddies to help me through this :-) this is baby number 2 for me. With baby number 1 I ended up putting on 45lbs!!! But managed to lose all that and even 14lbs more. This pregnancy has already have me gain 14lbs :-(…

I love both sweet and savoury snacks! Here are some of my favourites! (all are under 120 cals) - alpen bars (chocolate and fudge yum yum!) - 2 x Maryland cookies - 2 x Jaffa cakes - packet of fruit stars (jelly sweets made with fruit juice - found with the dried fruits in tesco!) - hob nob mini snack packs / bite size…
