Pregnancy and Slimming World

[Lukasmummy]

Well ladies, I had a very strange dream last night that my waters broke in the hospital toilet and my legs gave way and wouldn't work, so I had to yell for help while crawling along the toilet floor!! My first labour related dream... how many more to follow I wonder??

I really shouldn't laugh at this but since that is how my first was nearly born I can't help it I went to the toilet on the ward, felt strange and then felt something slimy. Pulled the emergency cord as thought it might be his cord and sat waiting for 10 minutes for them to answer it. Turned out it was both his legs, frantic panic followed by original midwife standing like an idiot asking for gloves. Then they tried to grab hospital bed with sleeping husband on it will never ever forget the porter trying to cover everything with a pillowcase, remember thinking it was really funny at the time. We were rushed to a theatre, special care team was sent up as we were on the way down so special care sent another team. Husband was shoved into a room on his own and I asked where he was, doctor replied "oh do you want him here then?" he came rushing in and within 7 minutes Lukas was born. First words doctor said were "It's A Boy" to which I replied (since we had been told he was a girl ) "it better not be it's got a purple bedroom and a wardrobe full of dresses" Does it sound worse if I admit he was my slowest and lowest drama birth . Hugs Crystal xx

I had a metallic taste in my mouth for about 2 days, it drove me mad. The day before i was due on i had a terrible tummy ache, not like normal period pains but it only lasted an hour or so. I woke up the day i was due on with (sorry for tmi) a little bit of brown blood and just assumed i had come on. I had a weird feeling later on that day which made me want to test and i got a really faint positive! I just had the blood (with a little bit of pink too) that day...i was super panicy as i had used a tampax! Pretty sure all is ok now though
Good luck with ttc curvy...you never know it may have even happened

See i had pains in my tummy this mornin again and that taste seems to be around the sides of my tongue if that makes sense its gross! My period has been comin between 21-25 days so i am unsure when to test, this sat would make it 22 days as I had my last period 1 May so im unsure whether to test Sunday or just leave it to end of month if my period doesn’t cum by then? I took test this mornin but its negative! Also dont ask me why i did this but i took an ovulation test last night, i was ovulation from 8-11 and then took one on 12 and it was negative but the one last night was positive! Do u think this means anythin?

Curvygirl87, did you take an ovulation test or a pregnancy test last night? Sorry it's a bit early for me my brain doesn't function this soon after getting up lol. Hugs Crystal xx

Wow what a story - god I hope my dream wasn't some sort of premonition

I love your reply to being told it's a boy... that's why I don't put much trust when they tell you the gender at your scan - you'll never know for sure until the baby's born! We're not finding out the gender so no problem there!!

I took pregnancy test this mornin and it was negative but i took an ovulation test last night and it was positive (dont ask me why i did lol) but i found this really strange as i ovulated from 8th -11th and when i tested again on 12th it was neg so dont understand how it says im ovulation now when u only ovulate those few days yet week later it says i am? My friend recently find out she was preg and same thing happened to her that why im not sure what to make off it?

 

[Lukasmummy]

Don't know sweetie sorry don't have any experience with ovulation tests, I usually know when I am pregnant because I am so ill lol. Will be keeping my fingers crossed that you get the result you are hoping for ((hugs)). Hugs Crystal xx

 

[Curvygirl87]

thank u

 

[Lukasmummy]

I found out the gender for all of mine and the other two were very obviously boys. I am not very good at surprises, I wanted to know as soon as I was able so I could go shopping for baby stuff lol. Hugs Crystal xx

If I was you, I'd test on Sat 22nd and if a negative then leave it for a few more days. You could be pregnant but the hormone isn't strong enough in your system yet.

As for the ovulation test, Ive never used one so I wouldn't know about dating it.

If I was you, I'd ignore the Ov test you've just done until your period due date. Then either do another Ov test. If you have a period then count 14 days ahead and bonk your OH silly from day 12 till day 17day. This what my hubby I did, trying to have sex every other day and I got pregnant after being off the pill for two months x

Yeah think i will do that thanks J i took one today but was negative.. so say my period comes on 22nd, 14 days from that wud make it 4th June and from day 12 to 17 wud make it from 2nd until 7th am i right?lol iv been off mine from January but this month is only month iv really done it with ovulation sticks and on the right day x

 

[Cheekypasterfield]

Yep that's how I'd work it. I did use ovulation predictor websites which helped me work out dates

To make things easier I would play it safe a make sure you have sex with your OH from 1st to 9th June and then you're covered extra days haha and some extra fun.

Personally I'd do some extra days as you seem to have a shorter cycle than the usual 28 days

We also continued to have sex through out of the month too.

I had my due date as 10th June 11 and all ultra scans have given.me a due date of 9th June.

[Curvygirl87]

Yeah i use calculator too and ovulation tests yeah my cycle is between 21 and 25 days usually, maybe cuz i was on the pill so long, im not sure lol xox

 

[jojogonnabeslim]

curvy girl, sounds like you can't wait for Sat lol, try to be patient and not worry yourself silly , i know easier said than done!

Weight gain at 31 weeks is sitting at 1stone 7lbs exactly. Which is okay I suppose, I'm not bothered just weighing out of curiosity.

Have caught husbands minging throat - not sore just really gunky feels like I constantly have something at back of my throat. Not impressed. Oh and the leg cramps have kicked in with a vengence! Felt like any time I moved in bed last night I got big calf cramps. Legs actually feel bruised this morning.

Lunch out today with roller derby girls, and then dinner out. Weight gain may be kick in the ass next week lol

Hope everyone doing well. Catch you all later

 

[Cheekypasterfield]

Can't believe my due date is getting closer! In 22 days time!!!!

I'm pleased that I had a pound gain this week, so my total is slowly creeping up. I've now gained 10.25lbs so I'm hoping that I'll gain a pound a week for the next 3 wks. My bump feels a lot bigger so think that baby maybe getting bigger too. I don't have a MW appointment till next week so won't know my measurements.

Ive not been that healthy ( more biscuits than fruit lol) this week so gonna try better this week.

Hope you're all doing well and the tiredness isn't getting you ladies down x

I am so jealous cheeky I have put on a stone on already and too dame scared to weigh myself, have s**t eating habits and feel like crap. My own fault but trying to make changes and never again am I buying a tub of ice cream, I am binge eater and attacks stike when I am low and tired, grrr. But keeping up swiming and trying my best to control the crap I eat, it so hard when you feel so rundown but don't want to get diabeties and hoping that is enough now to scar the crap out of me. Not looking forward to the glucose test 27th June

I really emphasise with you. It's really hard to eat wisely when you feel like cr&p. I've been lucky that I've feeling really well. Plus I learnt the hard way with first when I gained 4 stone and then had to work hard afterwards to lose it all.

I wouldn't fret with your weight gain. Id just make sure that when you're feeling well you eat healthy and if you have a bad days you go with the flow.

A very well done for swimming, I never had the guts to go with a baby bump lol plus I didn't want to spend money on a maternity costume lol

 

[Leeanne910]

I'm here to moan again *waves*

Start weight: 14s 7lb Current weight: 13s 10lb loss: 11lb

I rarely go swimming with the boys, it's just too hard with my health issues but I have bought a maternity swimming costume, it's the first swimming costume I have ever owned that not only do my boobs stay in but it hides a multitude of other flaws too. I ♥ it. I think it was £14 in Matalan well worth it even for the few uses it will end up getting. Hugs Crystal xx
