Every scan I was like this, even the 4vweekly growth scans. Scanxiety is the worst, everything will be fine,
. They'll take longer than usual for them both so if you start to get uncomfortable make sure you tell them they'll let you have a little break. X
I think my 20 week one was my worst for anxiety, I could have cried sitting in the waiting room! Make sure you just keep distracting yourself. Luckily the woman scanning me was so lovely and talked me through everything, how rare things were and that all looked good with mine. I was expecting total silence and dont think I could have coped with that!
Sounds very normal to me, if you think about the weight of the baby, the placenta, the amniotic fluid, the extra breast tissue, the extra fat stores required etc, it's not going to add up to much less than that!Weighed myself this morning and I’ve gained just over 2 stone the whole pregnancy, is that about right to gain or have the copious amounts of pop tarts I’ve ate caught up to me
I know I shouldn’t place importance on weight & the midwives haven’t had an issue but I’ve never been this heavy and it’s such a struggle now to drag myself anywhere
That’s true, I didn’t really think of all the extra bits involved! Back to my pop tarts I go
Yeh I was! I am at every scan but I almost passed out waiting to go into my anomaly scan I was that worked up. I’m sure everything will be absolutely fine for you

haven't been told off by a midwife yet but I've got an appointment this morning so will see how I'm measuring. You won't be told off either wayI've gained over 2 and a half stone already with 6 weeks still to go
I know a big part of it is down to eating far too much (and lots of junk tbh) but hoping it will drop off fairly quickly if I'm able to breastfeed and get out for lots of walks once baby is here.
In each pregnancy I put on 3 stone (3.5 in my last) so 2 stone doesn’t sound a lot to me at all. How far along are you?

I’ve had one banana in the last 4 weeks everything else has been chocolate based so I did worry a little bit when I saw it in lbs on our scales!Thank youYou’ve all been such a support and I love reading all your updates, I can’t bring myself to leave the thread even though I graduated
Everyone is different so there's no right or wrong amount, plus it's weird how it works, last pregnancy I put on pretty much 2 stone exactly by 40 weeks, this pregnancy I've put on 1 stone 10lbs but my bump is way bigger this time. And I was the same starting weight for each pregnancy.I’m 39 weeks so I’ll stop panicking
I genuinely forget I’m pregnant sometimes and just think I’ve gotten lazy and cause I’ve not been the gym that’s why! When actually I’m growing a whole human
although my main meals have been pretty healthy, chocolate is just my weak spot!
and in there! XCongratulations!!!Thanks for all of your replies Ladies.... Just sat waiting for the consultant now, but all was fine... nerves settled straight away and we found out we have a
Ahh really that’s good to know! My midwives haven’t weighed me since my booking appointment but I think it might have been an American thing I was looking at for weight gain.Everyone is different so there's no right or wrong amount, plus it's weird how it works, last pregnancy I put on pretty much 2 stone exactly by 40 weeks, this pregnancy I've put on 1 stone 10lbs but my bump is way bigger this time.

I also feel like I've been living off chocolate
We're all still hereThank you
My baby is 1 next month Still here and I don't intend on ever leavingThank you
I would've agreed except for I asked to work 3pm-9pm as my husband is home from 3pm. As a multi-jurisdictional company, it would probably work out better having one day where I was 'in a different time zone' so to say. I never said to them that I would be wfh with baby and no support. My husband would be in full charge of baby at that point.. would be respite for me haha!!
That's brilliant!! I am going to start looking for other jobs once my mat leave is nearing an end. Unfortunately the company has now made a lot of false promises and I've been walked over for as long as I can possibly bear. Year's ago I did do some self-employed article writing which my company allowed me to do on the side, so I think I might see about taking that back up again.
