ITS HAPPENED! lol...

today i am officially feeling huge! lol, sometime over the last day my belly has popped out and i am remembering how tough it is! haha, the discomfort.... the inability to do simple tasks! ie... bending to pick up a toy! although i didnt get this bad till the last trimester last time.... hmmm.... not looking forward to how im going to be later on, im only just coming up 20 weeks!

i shouldnt complain though, i hardly showed both last pregnancies and i was sooooooooooo hoping this time i would show and look like a sexy mumma! so i have kinda got my wish, along with the discomfort so i guess i am happy!

woohoo! i have a belly! YAY!

hehe, yeah i gotta remember to BEND AT MY KNEES!

mum2emj, i know what you mean! i'm just ahead of you i think, and last night i got a bit of a shock when i was trying to pick up ella's dummy off the floor! suddenly my belly is in the way and i feel a whole lot more pregnant. YAY!

here's mine from about 2 weeks ago, i've got 3 new cm's round my waist since then!

ok, just had to try that a few times previewing post to get it right.
please excuse my undies showing, they always do! and i cut my face out cause i dont know if i trust photobucket from what i read in another post. ARGH i cant believe i posted a pic!

thats when i was feeling yuck too... FRUMPY... think im over that now though

furmby weres the frumby i was huge u girls look great

sorry *james* hope i havent offended you or anyone saying i felt frumpy.

frumpy to me is just in general feeling blah.... that week i was having bad hair... tired eyes.... not fitting into clothes..... tummy all squishy in places.... etc...
not to mention that i carry a poor self image.

hubby says im looking great and seems really "in love" with what he sees, i still struggle to see what he does a lot.    but for the last few days have been feeling pretty positive and seeing myself more through his eyes.

WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL!!!! we just have to see that more than most of us do.

actually that's what i am doing an assignment on right now - body image and pregnancy - it's really interesting that something like 80% of women think their weight gain is over the top and too huge, when most are within the normal weight range. and the biggest fear for most women about childbirth at all - is trying to loose weight again afterwards.

hey, just a quick ask.. how many have actually had a HUGE amount of trouble loosing the weight - i mean we all keep a few xtra kilos but surely at least some of it went? (not trying to hijack post at all!!!)

Ive had major trouble losing all the weight. I was probably slightly overweight to start with then with KObe gained about 20kgs at least, (got GD) and only lost about 5kgs thanks to WWs before getting preggie again this time round and have already gained about 10kgs so as you can imagine I am huge and I do heaps of walking trying to eat good etc but figure after this baby Im starting a major health kick!

well for me.....

hope this doesnt become a novel.... and im going to include my weights ( ) when i first got pregnant with my firt daughter i weighed 72 kgs. i jumped to 87kg's at the end of my pregnancy. i dropeed a few kg's but quickly gained it again (although i have no idea why, as i was walking lots everyday and eating healthy.... anyway, i got pregnant again when my first daughter was around 7 months old, my weight was 87kg, by the end of that pregnancy i was 98 kg, i dropped a bit of the weight again, but was back to 96 kg until my daughter was 5 months old.... then i stopped breast feeding her, and my weight piled off till i was back to 74/75 kg when i got pregnant this time 1 year after i started to loose weight

loosing the weight was actually pretty easy though, after i struggled with my weight from my first daughters pregnancy.
