Pregnancy and Slimming World

Hi guys, been a while since I've been on here. Not being doing too good with the eating of late. I'm 40+3 and fed up :sigh:, can't wait to meet my 2nd baby. I've been off work for 3 wks now and can't seem to stop eating. Looking forward to the baby coming so I can get into a routine and back to SW - keep trying to get back on track and start each morning great but by the time it gets to tea time the 'sod it I'm fat anyway' thoughts start creeping in and I stuff my face :(.

I've put 3 stone on and am pretty disgusted with myself at the moment which is not helping the binging. Oh well hopfully I'll be able to get back on track once the little one arrives.

Good luck to everyone with your pregnancies. xx


Aw awful being overdue isn't it, especially as you can't do anything as every twinge you think is this it!!! i went to 42 weeks with my 1st hoping it will be less this time!!! Good luck and try and make the most of the time to relax (i know easier said than done) :D
 
browsie i really dont think 3st is too bad. personally i think thats my limit limit. 2st ideally, 2 and a half at a push.. but if it gets to 3st in that last 3 weeks then i expect its extra fluids etc.

ooh i so hope things get moving for you soon. get on that kitchen floor and start scrubbing woman!


iv just realised my hair has grown like 2 inches in the past 2 months and my nails are fab. Maybe this stuff isnt so bad..
 
yeserday I hate two mcchicken sandwiches and two fries - it was revolting but had the urge and so tired and emotional. However, planned today and feel so much better foodwise :) Mind you it helps having twelve hour lovely sleep - I had the past two days little sleep due to hyperactiveness, was awful, don't know if it is a pregnancy thing or not!!!!

really turning into a fatty now.. also very unflattering pic of me in general as i look really miffed.. and i got me chubby arms on show LOL
 
Right I WILL get a pic up this weekend, its getting ridiculous now, that 5 weeks I've been saying will get one up...

Later.
 
Yes come on Lexie, lets see your bump pic :)

I have just been lying on the sofa while watching my little girl having a good wriggle about, it was so strangle seeing ripples appear all over my bump as she moves.
 
Hi ladies! Glad to hear everyone's doing so well! I've been so busy the last few days, parents are over now so I've been hanging out with them getting really excited! My mum's been cooking for me which has been great but not SW friendly at all, oops!! I figure I only have a few days of pregnancy left might as well enjoy it lol. My belly is absolutely massive and the baby dropped suddenly a few days ago and I woke up to find 3 stretch marks on one side of my belly! I was so devastated, I burst into tears!! I really thought I'd get through this stretchmark free and only a few days left and they had to come now!! :(
The only good thing is that you can barely see them, I have to stand in the sun and angle my belly and they're only 3 and really small so I'm hoping by the time my stomach flattens they'll be much less visible? I just hopw I don't get any more!! I look so strange now, my belly is almost square lol and it almost looks like someone just stuck a drum on my torso, it looks so "separate" from the rest of my body if that makes sense lol...

FOUR MORE DAYS!!! OMG!!!
 
Awwwwww honey, don't worry too much about the stretch marks! Start applying cocoa butter/fade cream/bio oil from now. It may not make them disappear completely, but apparently the creams make more of a difference on very new marks - it can make them fade considerably as your stomach flattens.

Do you have any names in mind yet? Hubby must be excited! I'm so happy for you, do keep us posted!

Lol, drum stomach! Ha, reminds me of my preggy belly....and boy did he love to kick!
 
Hubby did take my bump pic last night but didn't upload it, will get it on tonight. I just look fat :(

Four sleeps! Its so exciting!

Personally I know I'm going to stretch mark like mad, given I have them from losing/gaining weight never mind big prggy bump. Moisturising anyway in the vain hope at least my skin will be lovely! :D
 
Thanks guys! I can't wait! Christina, I'll try the bio oil and see thanks! I don't know why I'm freaking out so much, the stretchmarks are literally about an inch each and there are three of them and barely visible lol. I'll just blame pregnancy hormones for the dramatic reaction. I'll use the bio oil anyway just to be on the safe side.

THREE MORE DAYS!!! :D :D :D
 
I have my baby tomorrow people!!!! I'm so excited and so terrified!! Thought I'd post one last pic of my ginormous bump before having it deflated tomorrow lol. Awwwww my little girl's going to be forcefully evicted from the only home she's known for almost a year :( I hope I can provide a better one for her!

I'll probably be out of commission for a week or so as I settle into motherhood and recover from the C - Section etc. We'll also have a lot of visitors coming over and my parents are planning a traditional naming ceremony which happens on the 8th day after the birth so it's going to be an overwhelming couple of weeks! I'll try to jump on here with pics when I get a chance.

Here's a pic! 'Scuse the unsmiling face lol

what a gorgeous bump!!! gosh i cant believe its tomorrow - only seems like 5 minutes ago you posted saying you were pregnant! cant wait to see pics x
 
I think your bump looks quite tight still :) Good luck for C section and I look forward to the updates and piccies!

I went to doc today and have developed a pregnancy heart murmur, but because I been a bit short of breath and close to apssing out twice Im being sent for an ECG, I think it's a bit of an over-reaction to be honest but will wait and see.
