Pregnant with baby no1 and trying not to gain too much!

Ha yes I tried that tactic too but after about two weeks I couldn't stand it and ended up tidying them up myself .It must be a man thing ! I've brought three laundry baskets one for the bathroom one for the bedroom and one for the kitchen Just so that it makes life easier for him he has three baskets - just use one of them!!!

Funny thing is... His brother always makes a joke that he drops his dirty clothes where ever he may be standing at that given time.. And they magically turn up washed n pressed in his wardrobe.. My BF always replies "yea that doesn't happen in this house" Eh.. Clearly it does coz otherwise I'd be stepping all over your clothes daily and you'd have nothing to wear!!!!

Men definately need directing. They don't see mess or dirt. I just tell my hubby and he generally does what I ask. If his footy stuff is laying beside the washing machine (every fecking day), I'll just say 'you know that stuff you left beside the machine, put it in the machine now will you', and generally he'll go do it. He says he doesn't want to do something wrong. I asked does he mind me telling him all the time what to do and he said he hadn't realised I do that and prefers it that way...does that make sense.

Hmm direction or a good kick up the backside lol. Your lucky mrslmc .. My bf is not in the slightest bit cooperative when it comes to any such matters .. If have more chance getting my 2 yr old niece to do the washing than j . Ha x

Hi girls I'm feeling like poop this morn full of cold and aching all over like mad .. Maybe I should have opted for flu jab after all !
I rang in sick today for work and my employer didn't sound too pleased which left me feeling really guilty but I just felt like how can I be responsible for a very young child when I am feeling like s**t. If anything was to happen to any of her children whilst they were in my care because id nodded off I wouldn't forgive myself and I also have my own bubba to think of . I've been working for the family for the last 6 months and this is the first time I've had to call in sick I've done a lot of extra hours for them sometimes staying til 9 in the evening when they've had things on so I just kinda hoped for a little more support considering they know I'm pregnant . Anyway rant over work will always be work and I have to stop worrying about it and think about me and baby! Xx

 

[Dubchick81]

You done the right thing if you're full of cold... God.. You don't want the kiddies to catch it.. And you need to rest up..
My head n cold seems to have cleared but throat is killing.. I can recommend hot water, spoon of honey, squirt of lemon juice and take with paracetemol n stay in bed... Guess it's the same as a lemsip n preg safe.. Hope you feel better soon xx

Thanks Hun slightly better today have made it into work and the baby had a big sleep this morn so managed to get a couple of hours rest which was brill!
Given up on trying to be healthy I know I should really try harder but my appetite has changed completely and the more I weigh myself the more stressed I become so the scales are being hidden away until after baby is here .. Then the dieting can begin .

Right so yesterday I was in a terrible defeatist state of mind and ready to reside myself to eating like a pig because I'm fat anyway .
Totally wrong attitude to have. I'm in a much better mood today and I know it's really important for both baby and myself that I try and have a healthy diet. .
So I'm back on the SW wagon .. I've got a little book that I have used as a diary today and hopefully I'm going to do a better job this time around .
I've figured if I don't eat junk food I can't eat it and when my partner had unhealthy food I will not be tempted !!

 

[PrincessPeach]

You are not fat missy!!!!

Hope you're feeling a bit better today x I think it can be hard feeling "bloated" all the time because it's not a proper "bump" so you don't necessarily feel pregnant if you know what I mean? I had that early on too. Plus, your body is changing a lot and it can be hard to come to terms with I think. I was fine until I started getting comments recently from my colleagues about how big I am and saying "hello fatty" to me. The silly part of my brain forgot I was pregnant and I just concentrated on the "big" and the "fatty" references, rather than "bump" and "baby"!!!

Hope you're feeling a bit better xxx

Thanks Hun it's definitely a big adjustment watching your body change and being able to accept it and be ok with it but I know at the end it will be totally worth it..
Sorry to hear about people at work I don't think people think how insensitive they are being they just think because we're pregnant it's ok to crack the fat jokes out but we still have feelings !!
I'm having a better day today anyway. ! Hope your ok xxx

Of course it will Will be totally worth it when we have our little babies in our arms.

It's ok hun, it's just their "way" I suppose. Not letting it bother me anymore though. I'm carrying a baby and I'm so proud my body can do that.

Hope you're well and you've had a good weekend darl x

Ugh I literally had no sleep last night at all so getting up this morn at 630 was torturous! I've had a banging headache all day probably due to lack of sleep .. It's 3.15 so I have 3 and a quarter hours til I can go home put on my pjs and snuggle up on the sofa ... Booo hurry up home time!
I went round to see my sister In law this morn who is now three days overdue with her second baby .. Poor dear is fed up to the max and also juggling a very exciteable 2 year old . I did do a nice act of kindness and take her round a macdonals breakfast and hot choccie but I must admit it was an act of kindness that also benefitted myself (whoops cheese and egg my muffin and hashbrown). . I haven't eaten anything else today haven't really felt hungry which is a good job as yesterday bf and I went out for a meal and then had pick n mix and films ! Lol yes we are 22 and not 12 but you gotta have a little bit of fun while you can eh?!
Hope everyone has had a nice weekend.. I'm counting down the days (4) til half term as I get the week off woohoo!

Now now young lady.. You must feed baby at least every 2 hours.. Be it a couple of crackers or an apple.. Baby needs feeding..
Ooh jealous of a maccers brekkie.. I love a sausage n egg mcmuffin, with cappucino... YUMMMMM... (Am just DYING for a cappuccino.. hurry up March!)
Your poor SIL... I've started longing for March rather than mid feb just in case I go over (which is very likely apparently on a first baby).. Am hopeing when the times comes it'll not feel as bad if I convince myself am due in March.. lol

Had some carrot soup Frances .. Just for you lol!
Ohh I know I'm going to be the same Although as much as being late must be frustrating I don't want bubs to come early either as we're moving house and it would be nightmare!
A lot of first babies do seem to be late tho.. Sister in law is off for second sweep tonight to try and move things a long .
Hopefully I will have a little nephew very soon! X

I'm having a bit of a panic tonight I don't know why I'm sure everything is fine but I just worry that what is something wrong with baby .
I'm so elated to be pregnant but at the same time I'm petrified with having no symptoms and no bump! I know the bump will come in time and it's only early days I just wish they could scan you every week lol would make it so much more relaxing for us!

I have mine today... Finally.. Altho I was only there last week for my big scan so you'd think I'd be OK but baby is very quiet this last couple of days.. Few wriggles but not much n sending my mind into overdrive..

It's totally normal hun to have days where we panic. You'd think the panicking would stop once you start to feel kicks, but then the little sods have "quiet" or "lazy" days as I call them... and then you're back to thinking... "Why is he/she being quiet?!?!?! WHY?!?!?!" but it's totally normal. I don't think pesky preggie hormones help either with our paranoia! Try not to worry, I'm sure everything is absolutely fine in there. And don't worry about bump - it will come

We always want something we don't have don't we though xx I have a HUGE bump for 23 1/2 weeks. Especially today - I honestly look full term!!!!! So I'm sitting here thinking that I'd prefer a little cute bump...x try not to worry xx

 

[JoeyJoJo]

I would echo what the girls are saying above. I'll be honest...deep down, theres not a moment that Im not worrying and its not doing my sanity any good lol I try to put all my anxieties to the back of my mind but I do still get horrible and quite overwhelming moments where I really start 'suddenly' panicking that something isnt right. Usually triggered by baby having a quieter/less active day. I dont think theres any pregnant woman that doesnt worry...I think realistically its a normal natural part of us all now being mumma's and the worry will never stop! But then I reassure myself that everything is fine by using my doppler (that always makes me feel better) and I know that at every antenatal appointments everything always seems to be fine/normal
