Pregnancy and Slimming World

[Slinkyson]

Your not over reacting, nausea can come at any time in pregnancy, apart from the copper taste in my mouth i was feeling ok until i had my breakfast and i feel so sick
During pregnancy i find carbs mainly fill me up whereas nothing else but carbs bloat me up and make me put on so much weight and you cant have carbs because of your diabetes. Oh well we dont have much longer to go x

Yeah I'm exactly the same, even though experts say protein keeps you fuller for longer it doesn't seem to have that effect on me! I'm always hungry! I'm aloud 70grams of carbs twice a day it really isn't alot! Perhaps a small bowl of pasta and that's it gone! But it is surprising how many carbs are in foods! I haven't eaten yet feel totally crap today I am making a healthy grill up though just hope I can keep it down because the smell is turning my stomach at the mo! I reckon I should lose a little weight before baby arrives eating like this! Fingers crossed anyway she should just gain weight now and not me hopefully!

They said she weighs about 3ib 9! Which is bang on target however it's the next few weeks they said I need to watch as she'll gain about a pound a week which seems a bloody lot if that's the case she's going to weigh 1 stone so I don't think that's quite right I may have mis heard what they said on that front! Or at least I bloody hope I did I don't fancy pushing out a 1 stone baby haha x

I'm 17 weeks & today I just want to throw up every where :-( I know there's something wrong just not sure what. I've still got this ruddy cold & headache 24/7. Back at docs this week for my follow up. I know I need work done to my teeth as one is broken & very sore but after reading about the risks of extraction during pregnancy I'd rather wait. I just hope I don't get to a point where I have no choice but to get it out. Other teeth need filled but I'm so scared of the dentist I need gas which obviously not allowed when pregnant. Yes I'm a big wuss! I haven't had my eyes checked in a while so I was wondering if the headaches were down to that. I certainly don't feel glowing. I just want to get through the next 23 weeks then I'll go get what ever treatment I need.

OH is out in the rain moving 7 tonnes of soil today so I've got the kids to entertain. Thankfully the toddler fell asleep on the sofa & DD is watching a movie with me. I feel like I need to eat but feel to nauseous today. I have had food just don't feel like eating more.

Hope everyone else starts to feel better soon xo

Before i was pregnant i loved protein but now it turns my stomach especially chicken thighs and the smell does make me feel green. But i have to stop eating bread because it is bunging me up and sorry tmi but its putting pressure on my bits down below and making me bleed! It definately an external bleed but will mention in to midwife when i see her next. So tomorrow is a no bread day for me whether i like it or not and will tell hubby to give me a telling off if he see's me taking any lol.
Wow a lb a week, makes my eyes water at the thought of pushing a 1 stoner out but i know as you are being are monitored they wont let her get that large or else if they do they will have to give you a c section. Hope your feeling better now and the grill didnt make you too sick x

Aww do you think your throwing up is linked to your cold or maybe its a bug. I needed dental treatment in my first pregnancy and left it till after i had my daughter too even though she said it was safe but i really hate dentists. My husband is on my back to go and have a checkup but i have been putting it off so far
I know i need a new prescription for my glasses and have know that for nearly 2 years but have been so tight because i just dont want to spend a lot of money on glasses so have also been avoiding it but my husband is getting sick of me falling over things so dont know how long i will get away with avoiding going to the opticians.
MMm while my husband sat on his bottom at home in front of the tv i had the pleasure of taking my three devils out to the shopping centre and cant believe i wasted £21 in m & s cafe on food and drink which my children didnt even enjoy and eat properly! Also dont know if your children are interested in crafts but our mothercare had mr maker craft box on for half price at £10 but not sure if that offers available in northern Ireland. So tomorrow my husband will be babysitting our son while me and the girls will be sitting down and making crafts x

Hia, in getting the same with chicken the smell is starting to turn my stomach big time! I can't tough raw meat either that just makes me gip! I would mention it to her, I had a similar problem and my midwife just told me to drink more (I already drink about 3 litres of water a day) think that's why I've never had uti a few if my friends seen to have water infections all the time! Oh and eat more fibre, which I can't have coz the carbs in cereals is super high! I've been eating boiled eggs, or scrambled eggs with bacon and skinny lizzie sausages every breakfast which may sound yum and was at first but now I just want a bowl of cornflakes lol!
I'm being monitored fortnightly now so will be able to keep an eye on her weight thankfully! I'm starving all the time, I was never this hungry before being pregnant plus I wake up in the night starving I don't eat anything then but I so could! Going to have to buy a book it something on foods I can eat because I'm bored to tears with what I'm eating its basically the Atkins diet with the odd bit if fruit! When's your appointment for your placenta check? Mines next Friday I think but they think its moved judging by my last one! I do feel alot of pressure down there but they said her heads down there so that's probably why! Have you come up with any names yet? We like Poppy Mae, Freya, Layla! I like Alia but oh hates it! :/

I have a cupboard full of craft but too tired to clean up after them at the mo. I did get black masks that you scrap a design into which we did the other day. I'm trying to get to p&t groups with the toddler as eldest is nursery so at least they both get something to do each day. The days I feel better I try the park etc to tire them & just give them something enjoyable. I think I'm just run down so everything is jumping on board. I've never had a great immune system any way.
M&s is dear. My kids cost me a fortune on coffee shops the first week I had my car,lol.

Hey ladies! Sorry 2 hear most of u r feelin rotten/sore in 1 form or another! Luckily pregnancy doesn't last 4ever so try 2 look on the bright side that it'll all b history eventually xx

I have been very ill for the year before falling pregnant so I don't hold out much hope of feeling better after but ya never know xo

***********
I really wana munch something tonight. Don't even know what but I just do. Sick to death of blerdy fruit all the time. Can't have dairy so yogurts are out. I did try the fat free fromage frais but it upset my stomach last night :-( It's funny how I want to just eat but my head keeps saying no you'll end up a whale. Why did I choose now to find willpower?lol
In other new my bits hurt. Sorry if tmi. I've had bad spd with my previous pregnancies & I think its kicking in again. I literally feel like someone kicked me between the legs cause its not stingy like an infection its more sore if that makes sense.

Had to make a roast chicken today for the children and you can guess what the house and the children smelt of:yuk: but can't make them suffer because of me as they love their roast. I will be mentioning it to midwife but you are right thats what i was thinking because since i have stopped following sw properly i havent been drinking much water and my good fibre intake has gone down so will really need to try and get back to plan. Plus i am wasting so much money on junk food so thats another incentive for me to follow plan and save money for something useful instead of junk x
My next scan to check the placenta is on the 22nd and hopefully i think its moved up. After our first baby we never come up with names before baby is born because we just change it as soon as baby is here for something we hadnt thought of so all our baby names have been given by my husband who chose them after baby arrived. I love all your name choices x

Unfortunately most of the not feeling well is my fault apart from the nausea. Need to try and eat more healthy, drink more water and keep away from bread x
But apart from that i love being pregnant and bossing my husband about x

M & S is dear and pretty rubbish nowadays even i didnt enjoy whereas before i used to love the food and lattes there. I know that rundown feeling this trip to the shopping centre i have been delaying for three weeks but i felt so bad today and had to take them out. I brought some salty sweet popcorn from m & s today which i think are 3 and half syns so maybe you could try something like that to munch on. My bits really hurt too and they are sore i thought it was because of the thrush but thats gone and it still all bulgy and sore so must be the pressure of baby as we have had babys before so everything is more stretched and maybe thats why there is more pressure x

Ooh popcorn for few syns sounds good

I'm not far enough on for baby pressure so mines definitely blinking spd or maybe it is an infection. I'm at antenatal tomorrow (first appointment in the whole pregnancy) then the doc wanted to see me on Wed for more tests to see why I've had this headache so long.
Ya know what though, I'm moaning but it could be worse. If I tell myself that enough maybe I'll feel better,lol.

We are all plodding through & that's all we can do

Just a quick check in to say hi - I'm still hanging around but been working through a few things, safe to say my head has been a bit of a mess. Got two weeks to go until 12 week scan and I'm terrified tbh, just want it to be done so I can either deal with any bad news or finally start to enjoy the fact that I'm pregnant at last!

Hope everyone is ok and that any ills and aches and pains are relieved soon xxx

It could be an infection than but i cant remember from when i started getting pressure all i know is it did start quite early on. The popcorn is yummyyyy and so much in the pack, there was also a salted version and one for 130cals which was the choc one so will definately be getting more popcorn in x
I hope they get to the bottom of why you are getting headaches on wednesday, pregnancy symptoms seem much worse with a headache, i cant even get anything done when i have a headache! x

I'm lactose intolerant so can't have hot choc. I did used to love options with a flump I had all my syns but finished the night with chicken & pineapple. I'm planning a treat tomorrow night of nachos & maybe some skittles so need to stick to plan.

Very positive way of lucking at it! I was the exact same super positive until recently! The pregnancy isn't an issue for me I can cope with the aches, pains and nausea it's this fricken diabetes that's thrown a spanner in the works! I love being pregnant but now just founding the low carb situation annoying especially with not knowing what I want to eat from one day to the next with nausea! Xx

Maybe I'm fussy but the lacto free foods aren't great. I do push it some days though & add a babybel to a jacket potato or sneak a drop of milk in tea when at tots group. It's when that starts to be all day or several days my tummy shouts at me.

*****************
I've been so good today. Packed a salad for the picnic while the kids had their bits & pieces. Then randomly stopped at the bakery to buy buns for the kids as well as a florentine for myself. Still not sure where that came from but I kind of drove past, stopped, bought, drove home, ate??? Then had about half a share bag of the skittles I like as well as a fruit juice. I just don't want to eat fruit fruit fruit while my head hurts this much. I was sympathy food,lol! I suppose if I try to be good & succeed more than 50% of the time it's better than being naughty 100% of the time.

Had my first antenatal this morning. My docs have an old scanner they use so quality not great but I did see baby kicking it's wee legs. Doc literally went there's baby kicking, heart beat, bam machine off. Glad I saw it though. Back to proper doc on Wed for my follow up tests. Really hope this headache is gone by now or she can treat it.

Overall not a bad day. Weigh in tonight though & I just want to eat eat eat!
