Overweight and Pregnant

Not weird at all KA, I hate pregnancy too - nine months with your head down the toilet, an octopus sitting on your bladder and pushing up under your ribs so you can't breathe - what's to like I say!

phew glad its not just me....emma...3 times..I'm hating it so much more this time!:)just everything hurts more and different bits are sore and I was worried more (got over that) and it's harder on me cause of Ethan *blah blah poor me* :)

baby kicking now which is awesome and scan on friday which is also awesome:) !

dont get me wrong..I'm super grateful I am pregnant.. but wish there was another way to get a baby (so does DH he loves the TTC but not this part lol)

I was a bit on the heavy side (size 16)i got preggers , i was fit tho i'd been doing duathlons and biking , but had my wee girl was born at 28 weeks due to growth restrictions for her and i start to get pre eclampsia!!!! But i put on so much weight sitting with her is the hospital for 3months!!!!!!! I tried to get out for a walk everyday but it was n't fast it was just wandering round shops and the food in the hospital was just not healthy!!!! I'm struggling to lose it now nearly 9 months later , but definitly want to lose it before i try for another bub!!!!

I put on more weight sitting in the hospital everyday with DD for 12 weeks than I did while I was preggy. I sympathise with you.

I agree... had some spotting at 10 weeks 6 days and I went to my MW and although it took about 10 mins we heard the heartbeat. I also heard it again at 12 and 16 weeks.

Right now back to read the other two pages, I might add to this post yet lol.

Yup I'm editing.

I was a size 20 - 22 when I got pregnant. At 18 weeks I have put on 8kgs and running out of clothes to wear    The warehouse have capri tights so I am living in them at the moment because my sewing adventures didnt work out as well as I thought they would. I have started to walk every day again as I know I am putting on too much weight, I dont think its from what I am eating so much as not exercising so I am back into it as I want to still be able to move at 36 + weeks

Hey we might all live in different parts of the country but we can still support each other to get out and walk, a bit like the BD challenge but a walk challenge, what do you all think of that?

Oh and cant remember user name (preggy brain) but yeah the TWW did work but ended in chem but next cycle I got UTD

So is that tomorrow or are we putting it off for another week? lol

I'm sure with it being school hols I can fit in a walk somewhere there. I am starting to get a touch of constipation and I noticed when I was walking in the mornings before breakfast I got much more regular so might try that before anything medical.

Not sure what I am going to be able to in the way of exercise....sooo frustrating cause if I do too much (which is very little LOL) it aggravates my costochondritis and I spend the next week in agony. On a good note tho I weighed myself this morning and I am sitting at 95.2kgs! I was 92kgs at 12 weeks so I am pretty happy so far.

I have been walking as much as I can but since there are so many hills around our house I usually end up walking round and round the mall LOL. Might have to try swimming instead.

sounds like a good idea.. I havent weighed myself..too scared..lol:)

Tastic congratulations on your wee girl!

Im so worried about getting pregnant and putting on heaps - really nervous about it!

Oooo fingers crossed then for me 4eyes! Hope so.

Funny thing is though - I eat crap and dont really think about the weight going on - well I do but it doesnt stop me from eating it!
