Jess' photo diary, surgery & baby later. Fresh start

[Susiew2001]

I'm feeling fed up gained a stone at 26 weeks I just feel huge what with been overweight already granted I've had some poor eating days and I can probably loose the binge related weight and keep the baby related weight but non the less my targets 11-20 according to midwife and I'm frightened of going over that I don't want any grief about weight and size and bla bla. I've got my gtt on 2nd June just hope it's normal my random self tests courtesy of my dads bm machine have been 4.2 up to 4.9 so that's normal but that might not mean a thing ? next pregnancy I will be a normal bmi and that's it this has made me feel conscious and exaggerated my already overweight body in ranting I'm sorry I'm so thankful I'm pregnant thanks to ivf but I feel so embarrassed that I was overweight ?

Ah bless you hun, fingers crossed your gtt will be ok. What do you mean about your target from the midwife? Didn't get that bit?
Try to remember that your blood volume is almost double when you're pregnant and you're gaining water and fat stores for baby, let alone baby, placenta, amniotic fluid etc! So I would say a stone is ok! And you're trying to be good which is a massive achievement.

I've gained over a stone and half at 24 weeks, I don't stop eating to be honest so I gave brought it on myself, as long as you feel okay and healthy I don't think it's that bad, I feel huge and terrible but I just don't think I can get the willpower to stick to any diet what so ever, as long as your blood pressure is okay aswell,I went yo my midwife last week and my blood pressure was actually a bit low I was worried she was gonna say sonething about my weight though but she didn't

This is very true!! Don't panic ladies I tried so hard to stick to SW throughout my pregnancy, and although I managed it maybe 2-3 days out of a week, I'd find my cravings for sugar (particularly in the last few weeks) was through the roof. Try and enjoy if you can. If you can do SW or whatever then great, if you can't or you're finding you're miserable trying to follow a plan then don't do it! You can diet etc once baby is here, so enjoy If you can't indulge a little when you're growing a human when can you?! xxx

Exactly Jess! We goda have a little excuse for a break lol.

I wouldn't go by what the midwife says, I'm classed as obese before pregnancy and noway I could stick within the limit for the gain. It's way over the reccomened amount!

Well proud today been out shopping with Jacob and for our tea I had a jacket potato! So wanted chips but resisted for once.
But now I'm aching like hell, feel fat as ever, pelvis in agony too!
We were in primark for over 2 hours!!!! Oops. Excuse of trying loads of clothes on I got to sit down for a while which was good. X

Ah I see now. I wouldn't worry hun. What's she going to do if you go over? Nowt! So don't stress about it. You have absolutely no control over the amount of water, blood volume etc etc you gain so try and be good if you can, treat yourself if you want and drink loads of water and it will be ok. The water thing is the most important. Not only will it help prevent urine infections, it flushes out all the nasties so you swell less.
And try and enjoy being pregnant not stressing over your weight! You've waited long enough. And you can deal with it after xx

I've only just started doing red days these last few weeks, after years of green with the odd extra easy day. I'm absolutely loving them! And I never thought I'd say that! Ever! You're doing fab! How are you feeling today? X

 

[Jess<3]

I actually really enjoy them too! But I do love my meats.

Aching like hell today. We went out with my nan and grandad, been out for 7 hours and 4 different shops. Had to wait in the car twice as pelvis was really bad.

Was food for lunch with a jacket potato, but silly me forgot to put pork in slow cooker for tea tonight so I'm now sat with feet up waiting for a hot curry to be delievered
