OK its been a while as I decided to stop tracking my (rapid) weight as it wasn't a concern of my midwife's as I'm still active and eating healthy but it was getting me down. Now the rate of gain has really slowed (only gained 600g/1.3lb in the last 3 weeks, not ideal for the 8th/9th month) so I have the opposite problem…

Hopeful this…

Anyone else have a low placenta at anatomy scan and had it move up later on? Just curious, I was told mine was low lying and there is a 90-95% chance it will move out of the way in time but I have another scan to check in a few weeks (I'm 28 weeks now). I think it's relatively uncommon to have a low placenta in the first…

Miska_: best theme ever!! We would do a LOTR or Labyrinth theme if we were bothering with a theme at all but are renting and can't be bothered doing heaps of decor stuff. We've got some planet and dinosaurs wall decals (don't know gender but dinosaurs!!) and that's about it. The rest of our stuff is random

Feeling OK today but I'm at the point where I am hating all my clothes, but don't want to buy any more just for the last tri (i'm 26 weeks). Also, it's heading into winter and have realised a lot of my hoodies + jumpers just aren't going to fit :( Maybe a little shop might cheer me up? Anyone else in a similar situation…

Thanks for the reassurance about growth spurts c. 20-24 weeks :) Pre pregnancy weight: 66kg Cumulative total Week 1-11: +0.8kg Week 12: +1.8kg Week 13: +1.6kg Week 14: +2.2kg Week 15: +2.9kg Week 16: +3.3kg Week 17: +3.5kg Week 18: +4.6kg Week 19: +3.9kg Week 20: +5.7kg Week 21: +6.6kg - ok so the last couple weeks i've…

I mostly eat what I want, whenever I'm hungry but that tends to be healthy-ish anyway. If I get a craving for a treat/something I normally wouldn't eat I'll eat that food too (once my craving is satisfied it goes away). When I log what I've eaten I'm generally under my maintenance + extra cals for 2nd tri, I'm 22 weeks.…

Due 18th August with my first :)

We've picked Evelyn (Evie for short), Clementine, Camille, Minerva or Minnehaha (Minnie for short), Marnie, Holly and i'm sure there were probably others but we haven't go close to deciding which is our front runner. Have no boys names we both like (the one we do, William, we both refuse to put with our surname:…

I'd just like to add to this discussion: when you weigh up the effects of too little weight gain or too much weight gain on outcomes for the BABY (ignoring what effects the Mums have to deal with) then the negative effects are worse if you gain too little. That is not to say there are no negative effects if you gain too…

I'm at 18 weeks now and yes the exhaustion in that first trimester was completely overwhelming for me. I found if I managed to get in a quick walk before work it was good for me - I didn't feel any less tired at the end of the day but felt like my brain was a bit more alert than on days I didn't walk. In saying that, I…

I'm struggling somewhat but mostly in regards to selection (I was a 10DD before - I think that's a 32DD/E -so was kind of difficult to find my size prepregnancy). I'm in New Zealand and there are few lingerie specialty stores. I got fitted at Bendon (the main bra store) for their branded bras and they seemed to have my…

I'm due about a month after you. I have been slack at tracking, haven't piled on too much weight (yet - only 17 weeks now) but I want to make sure I am healthy and eating the most nutritious foods for my baby. This is my first so not sure how big I will end up getting - not as concerned about the final number than I am…

I ran a half marathon right before getting pregnant and have done very little running since then but am planning on doing round the bays (8.5km) this weekend - I will be 17 weeks at that point. Its amazing that even though I haven't done much running since being pregnant, I can still definitely run albeit at a much more…

Sorry - I should introduce myself!!! This is my first baby, due August 18th. I exercise about 3-4 times/week - zumba, walking, pilates and just started doing antenatal aqua classes (so good!). Feel free to add me, I'm keen to keep exercising and eating healthy :)

Hey, how's everyone feeling? Any other Mums on here who've been pregnant before get sacroiliac pain, and any recommendations on exercises that might help with it? I've been getting the pain for the last week or so (currently 16 weeks) and haven't been able to figure out what makes it worse/alleviates it...

This is my first and have worn my maternity jeans once (im at 14 weeks), still fit most of my normal clothes, my skinnier jeans I just wear unbuttoned (have yet to get a belly band) but not sure if I will bother much longer as the maternity ones are SO much more comfortable. A few high-waisted, pencil skirts for work have…

Thanks for the advice. I'll see how the next few weeks go and if I keep gaining weight and baby is growing I guess I must be doing something right :)

Pre pregnancy weight: 66kg Week 1-11: +0.8kg Week 12: 67.8 (+1.8kg, cumulative total) eek that was a huge gain last week but still within normal overall for first trimester Week 13: 67.6 (+1.6) Week 14: 68.2 (+2.2) Everything seems to be tracking fine for a total gain of 11-15kgs :)

checking in.. Week 1-11: +0.8kg Week 12: 67.8 (+1.8kg, cumulative total) eek that was a huge gain last week but still within normal overall for first trimester Week 13: 67.6 (+1.6) Kinda thought I'd be more than that, I've been eating like a horse and haven't been exercising as much as I should
