11th April - 30 weeks prego today! I don't know where the time is going! Got weighed a little earlier and 17st 10lbs which would make a morning weight of around 17st 8 so looks like i might have lost 1lb! Could be the fact that is harder to actually get food in these days as feel like I am running out of room in there! No sooner do I start to eat then a couple of mouthfulls later I need a lie down as stuffed!
And some normal shots: still got an inny belly button and I hope it stays that way! I will die if it pops out!!
hoping to get a little sun on my belly if the weather perks up - I am this pale!
At my last midwife appontment I had a slight trace of sugar in my sample so if it is still there at next appointment I will have to have a diabetes test. Well it's not like I havn't been there before, that is what started all this weight loss off to begin with being pre-diabetic, so I will have to watch myself and watch my diet closly. I have been on the real sugar so looks like I'll be back to Splenda.
Baby seems fine though, plenty of movements, she'll be 3 1/2lb approx now. So looking forward to meeting her!
I am running out of clothes though. My maternity tops are too short and I'm a bit old to be going about in a cropped top! I have been able to still wear quite a few of my normal tops though but as for bottoms, forget it, I live in jogging bottoms.
I am starting to get a little hip pain now when lieing on left hand side, but would say overall I have coped well with all this extra weight. Apart from baby bouncing off my bladder when walking I am still managing to get around to the local shops and havn't had any SPD or anything like that, but Oh the tiredness! I am asleep more than I am awake and that's for sure.
I also asked my midwife when I can get back to my exercise and I will have to wait 6-8 weeks as I could strain myself lifting, so it will be walks till August and then will get back into things proper again.
And to wrap this up, my swelling seems to be under control now. my blood pressure was down last m/w visit so not worried abou pre-eclampsia or anything now, and water retention seems to be just another pregnancy related thing.
