Hiya ladies, Another set back. I'm not in early labour... DS is laying face up and not quite flush with my cervix, I'm petrified he won't naturally move into full position and I'm going to need inducing. The midwife said, this is why I'v been contracting, because he his trying to hard to get into place but hasn't managed…

Hey, October Mamas :) I'm in stop - start labour.. Not fun. Although, that's a pretty wild guess with all that's been happening... I'm desperate to know If I'm dilating, but as soon as the contractions start, they say "Wait until they are 3-4 minutes apart, then come in to the birthing unit to get checked" So unless they…

I'm due 10th October so 36 weeks exactly tomorrow, I haven't been told he is back to back so hoping he is, exactly where he should be!, these cramps are pretty regular and harsh. It takes time to pant through them, Ive got serious pressure too, With me being a 1st time mummy, I don't know whats normal and the start of…

34 weeks here, I hear you! I feel ready but very nervous, my feet, hands (sausage fingers) and legs are swollen and Im waddling about no longer walking lol. In a ton of pain and sleep is practically nil. But I know in there, is my little boy, appreciating everything mummy is going through right now.. I know when I see his…

Thank you for replying ladies, I am now 34 weeks and up by 25lbs total - so I am over the recommended target for my BMI My calories are set at 1830 but Im eating around 2000 on a hungry day. Im trying to be as active as possible with given circumstances, My Midwife and OB are not concerned. They said has long as the baby's…

Pre pregnancy weight: 196lbs week 33 (current) : 221 lbs = 25lb gain within the last two trimesters. Currently on between 1800-2000 calories. Can't help but feel like I'm gaining too much, every app and website I visit, I'm over the recommended gain.. :frown: I would really appreciate any advice on what I can do to slow…

I'm 29 years old, was 196lbs pre- and 5'5 in height and no only carrying one baby

Thank you, that's some good advice. I have decided to set to maintain level, its difficult to eat that much considering I've been so low for so long. I'm replacing the extra cals with fruit, and low fat dairy. - SO hopefully I won't gain huge amounts. Yes, Its easy to look to look out for other peeps and sometimes need the…

Thank you, I have done the calculator.

Dr hasn't gave me a guide but for someone of my stature is between 15-20lbs to gain.

Ive gained 9 lbs in total so far, lost 4lbs over this last week? So I think the 4 lb gain was water?

Hi I'm due 10th October with a little boy :)

Hi, Congratulations! I'm 27 + 3 days in and have gained 10lbs so far. It can get obsessive, I do feel like its out of my control a little bit but its healthy to gain during pregnancy, I only weigh once weekly. I cant wait to get back to pre-pregnancy state but its going to be a long journey, I'm still logging my cals daily…

Hiya Ladies, I am really concerned. BC I was 198 lb not really gained in 1 st trimester, now I'm 22 weeks I've totaled 8lb. Because my BMI was 34, the most I should gained is between 15-20 throughout the pregnancy. I'm gaining on avergage 2lb a week for the past 3 weeks. I'm scared I'm going to go over. I'm still on…

Thanks!

I have tried it and its delicious. all of their free range is!

Congratulations, Its my first pregnancy too. And for the first few weeks I wanted meat haswell! oh, and marmite on burnt toast.. Strange! I'm 20 weeks now and I've had cravings for Jelly beans... yum. I've Not majoryley OD on them but I give it to them now and again. Im sticking with my calories and. Ive put on 3lb at the…

Pretty :)

Found out my due date is now, 10th October not 13, but of course they could arrive early or late!

I certainly did :) Hows is everything going?

I'm 14+3 weeks and at 10weeks -2 and now gained +1 so minimal gain for now.

Congratulations to all of you October Mummies by the way :) here is too our little autumn/fall babies! x

They say so hun, but I'm yet to experience it! I feel so calm and happy within myself but on edge if anyone starts lol! I think the hormones are doing something right. My condition means I don't have much energy to use daily anyway but apparently it can improve with pregnancy so here's to hoping!

10th October now due date! :)

Hi guys I'm due 13th Oct 2014. Very excited Any others due around this time? :)

I'm in the same situation as you guys, I'm 5"4 and 195lbs my calories was set at 1400, I've increased to 1500 but eating more like 1600.. Because I'm so hungry. I'm not going to change my numbers but eat until I'm satisfied because it is so hard knowing what to do when you've been obese and needing to lose weight. No one…
