Pregnancy and Slimming World

Aww dont worry it will come off after baby comes, i know what you mean by the waddling i'm 2 and half stones up and oh boy can i feel it x

Yeah but your at the end! your weight will fly off! if you think a good stone of that is baby, water etc

I've still got another 8-10 weeks depending on if I get induced or not! They told me that they prefer to bring babies who's mothers have diabetes early from around 37 weeks but will see how I get on!

I bet you are waddling now being over your due date! I dread that, you feel big and uncomfortable as it is then to go over must be tough Hun! My feet are swollen now so god knows what if look like in 10 weeks ha!

I'm 30 weeks too but have gained alot of weight so I'm hoping this new diabetes diet which is basically red days on SW will help me shift some before the baby is due! I'm only 5 foot 3 so I look huge it's all at the front though, was thinking if getting one of them support belts to hold me up lol! X

Lol i'm 5 foot 2 so i can sympathise with looking huge, all my weight is on my tummy too x
I think red days are very good for weightloss because even before pregnancy i could gain a lot of weight through carbs and most of my pregnancy gain is because of carbs, cant keep away from bread x

I'm the exact same I love bread, pasta, potatoes and rice but my potion sizes are way out even before being pregnant they were the main source if my diet! Love carbs but I do like my sweet stuff too! Tut tut! Bring short defo makes you look bigger! A friend of mine is a few weeks behind me she's a similar weight yet looks fab coz shes 5.7 I just waddle ha! To be fair if I'd of eaten better u wouldn't have put as much on its around 3 stone that I have gained! So I'm hoping to pull done of that back!

You've only gained just over 2 stone which is brill if be happy with that

Mmmm its just over 2 stone now but everyday is a battle for me right now so i dread to think what it will be by the end. I am a emotional eater and life is a bit of rollercoaster at the moment so need to try and control my moods. Like you i want to eat healthly so that it will be much easier to eat healthy after baby is here but right now i'm on plan one day and off the next! x

Lol most things are my downfall, bread, cakes, choc and the list goes on... x

I've been the exact same as you though out my pregnancy! I'm annoyed at myself for gaining so much I did adapt the 'eating for two' mindset which has now less me to be over 3 stone heavier! I'm an emotional eater too I completely sympathise with you on that front I eat through all my emotions! Even if I'm I'll I still eat! :/ I've managed 1 full day so far on plan and that was today it's been rough all I can think about is good! Tell you a good tip though, if you like sugar free jelly pop the jelly pots in the freezer they are yum, take ages to eat and you really feel like you've eaten something good! I've had 3 today lol! I need my ice fix x

I want sweets! Sorry just putting this somewhere where others understand. I'm not a sweet person but this baby wants sweets now!

I gave in last week & it was skittles confused that hit the spot but I'm back on plan this week. Apparently they're 11 syns for a small bag.

What the heck can I have? :-(

Lol i will try that i am really into cold things right now. I am currently getting my fix from mini milk lollies and danio yogurts which are really thick and fill me up. We are quite similar i dont stop eating either when i'm ill! x

 

[Safia]

Lol worst person to ask advice from when i have a craving i just grab not looking at the syns x
I think some of the sugar free sweets like the sugarfree werthers original are half a syn each and last a lot longer than skittles x

Diabetes chocolate and sweets from thorntons are quite nice! Quite pricy though! Try freezing a sugar free jelly pot if you like cold things! They are lovely and take ages to eat I have them every evening! I've always had a sweet tooth but with having gestural diabetes I really have to be careful I don't fancy pushing out a 12ib baby lol! Like Safia said the sugar free sweets are good but they do contain something that makes you break wind and go to the toilet alot so may make you in popular in the house hold lol! :/

 

[Safia]

I've just realised i have under 2 weeks left for my scan too to see if the placenta has moved up! Whens your next scan to check the placenta slinkyson x

Next Friday but I had a scan yesterday to check the babies size and the lady who scanned me said she thinks its moved but wasn't sure due the baby having her head down there so was hard to see! Are you hoping your baby has moved or would you prefer a c section? X

 

[Safia]

I hope its moved and i think it has moved because i havent had a bleed or those painful twinges that i used to have before so fingers crossed, my appointment is on the 22nd. I would prefer not to have a c section because of the time it will take me to get better from it plus with 3 children and 1 newborn will need to get better asap as hubby will only be off for a week or 2 to help x

 

[FionaMcd]

I'm terrified!! Isobel still not even trying to come so its hospital tomorrow am for me and I'm scared stiff of being induced!!! Aaaargh this is not what I had planned!! X

Yeah that's how I see it too! This is my first but my fiancé has two children so I am hands on all the time. I know it's going to hurt but is rather push then at least you are up and about the same day pretty much! x
