hi ladies not much to report here feeling a good wee flutters so quite happy about that.

Re: weight gain, I couldn't care less how much I put on and am not worrying about it, I know that it will all come off again with BFing and running about after all the DC. As I cannot do any exercise or even walk unless neccessery I will probably be really unfit and stiff afterwards, also I compensate and hold myself and walk different as well.

Now a get in shape with a baby thread I would be interested in!

Thanks for all the reassurance - have decided to call it a baby bump even if it's not, and just try and be a bit more healthy in what I eat. Although the pizza and chips I just ate for tea was yummy...

Alex - I'm in York so nowhere near you, but feel free to post any issues on here and we'll do our best to support you. It's what we're here for!

Isn't this one time DH can't win though - it is normal for your shape to change - it doesn't mean you're turning into a heifer for ever. Speaking as a heifer. I'm still 7 lbs down so far with all the vomiting and would kill for a nice curry. And I'm sure my boobs are twice the weight they were before. Just keep healthy and next summer/autumn we can support each other in a new get in shape with a baby thread

cupcakefairy..give your DH a slap from me..you are not getting fat..you are just changing shape..thats all. at 14+3 its quite likely you felt a couple of flutters, its a lovely feeling isnt it

I'm so glad everyone else is talking/worrying about weight gain..dh and I have had a few arguments about it last couple of days I asked if I was getting fat and he replied 'well it's normal' have been stupidly upset with him which I know is irrational as I am starting to change shape.. it just feels so weird. Have always been a slim size 10 and not enjoying this new figure and massive boobs...I know I'm being pathetic though! Gonna try not to eat so much junk (says she who scoffed a massive box of popcorn while watching New Moon last night )

I'm sure I felt two flutters last night and got really excited but My Mum laughed and said 'pah, far too early for that' (am 14+3) so maybe it wasn't baby

Sorry alex I'm in South Wales so can't be a baby buddy! Sure loads on here are in London though... plus you will meet loads of new Mums in antenatal classes and Mum & Baby groups etc

Hello ladies

Kasabian were amazing last night..loved every minute of it we did have seats but basically everyone stood when the band came on..so last night my pelvis ached something chronic..feel like an old wreck..Hotel was lovely but slightly spoilt by the idiots who ran up and down the hotel corridor between midnight and 4 am, so subsequently Im shattered today.
Tried to pick up HB this morning and failed miserably..got myself in a right state and ended up phoning MW..who found it after about 10 seconds..seems baby had scurried off lower down again and was hiding..probably an hour and a half of thumping music last night that did it!

Hello all, am a bit worried (nothing serious) as at 15 weeks I have put a stone on!! I am usually just under 9 stone and now 9stone 9 lbs. I think its only on my tummy but have been in maternity clothes (second baby) for 3 weeks

I think its because I have swapped spin classes for yoga! And maybe the odd curry

I know its really not important in the general scheme of things but worrying when I hear you walking of 2lb and half a stone weight gains!

booboomonster - your "pregnant and likely to overreact" badge made me laugh, I think I need one of those! up until now I've been quite serene and then the past week I've been a tearful resentful mess! If I'm not crying after sex I'm crying at things on tv, and then yesterday I shouted at dp because I was hungry (because he got up at lunchtime and used the last of the bread instead of having cereal, so I had to get more bread before I could make lunch for ds and I) I turn into a snarling beast when I'm hungry these days!

Memorylapse, good that you felt a couple of prods, let us know how you get on with the doppler later. I'm jealous of all you ladies going to concerts, I've never been to one!

It'shappenedagain, sorry you're having bleeding, have they said what they think is causing it? as you said though, if they haven't scanned you or even listened in they obviously don't think there's anything to worry about. Hope it stops soon regardless.

Pamelat, do be careful about overdoing it, it's so easy to pull something when everything's softening and relaxing! I have to be really careful picking ds up, he's incredibly heavy (not fat just utterly solid!) he probably weighs just under 3 stone and I really can't carry him any distance.

Oh well, got tonnes of housework to do today (and no bloody motivation!) better get on with it!

Morning all. Just spent an age catching up on all news. Sorry to hear the sad and glad some are now enjoying things. Have been in maternity clothes for ages now - normally size 8-10 (am 16 weeks) but have only put on 2 pounds despite mountains of cheddars, crumpets and almost any food mentioned on here .Having an up and down time emotionally due to several factors Was wondering if any of you live close by as it would be good to know some people nearby with LOs on the way. Am in N London (Harrow) . [hopeful emotion]

cross posted - good luck lizzie - let us know how it goes.
