Hellobee Boards

@evansjamie: Oh Lady! Sorry to hear about this kicking-down-there biz. Glad she's calmed down with it. Mine is getting a bit better too. My kicks still feel like gas, tho. I would however, like my Dr. to explain what the hell is happening tho. I never can tell what's problematic and what isn't.

@corilyns: I've heard you can get some weird sensations due to the increased blood flow. I wonder if that has to do with it?

@corilyns I have those too. They usually feel very slit and come and go. I assume its the baby hitting my cervix or increased blood flow but will ask my midwife at my next appt (June 14) and let you know. Keep us posted as well.

On another not so fun topic is anyone getting more cellulite for the weight gain? I'm 22 was and have gained ~15 lbs. I swear half of it is cellulite accumulation on my legs. Sigh.

@evansjamie I'm jealous! Although I know everyone gains differently and as a pear shape, its just how it is for me. For now, I just need to keep up with the lunges and squats (within reason of course)

@evansjamie: @Sadieloo: I'm probably up 6 lbs? Some of my pants are too tight. No extra cellulite but the tons I have is still there. The area on my upper thighs where my underwear hits seems to be flabbier, that's the main change I notice besides my growing belly.

@Sadieloo: Please keep me posted and I'll do the same. Miraculously, once I talked to you guys about it, the pain has subsided.

And on cellulite, I've put on about 6-8 pounds and tried on a large wrap dress in my closet today that makes me look like a whale. It's all maternity all the way from now on. Regular cuts just don't work anymore. And my legs are looking a bit flabbier but not as much as I anticipated or expect they will look at 32 weeks!

@daniellemybelle: I haven't noticed any new ones, but my skin is definitely drier and my linea nigra is out in full force. I've been using Burt's Bee's Mama Bee body butter, and it really helps with the dryness.

@Chillybear: @evansjamie: I have noticed MAYBE a few new stretch marks (but they're white, I rarely have the pink or darker ones) and no linea negra. But I do notice the dryness! I HAVE to get better about lotioning!

Post overload but had to share our growing garden and baby

@daniellemybelle: along the left are sweet potatoes, along the back is mini eggplant and jalapenos, along the front is a tomato plant and carrots, the right side is all dill, and in the middle are zucchini and brussels sprouts!

@kjpugs: My belly seems to be pointing right slightly. She was breech on Friday, with her head shoved up under my ribs. Your garden and belly look so good! Now I'm hungry for some veggies.

So.............we just got back from our 20 wk appointment. Baby was kicking and moving around. Doctor was able to look and said that he is 80-90% sure we are having..................................................

A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Jennimac: I agree with @daniellemybelle, I can't believe how many girls are popping up for our month! So wonderful to hear baby was doing so well. Share some u/s pics! I love seeing them So happy for you!!!!!

@Jennimac: Congrats on your girl and for a great 29 week appointment! So happy for you!

Thanks ladies!!! I'm starting to feel like this one is "going to go the distance" .

@Sadieloo: The boys around here are VERY lucky

@Sadieloo: lol so true! haha! The Oct boys have their pick!

It's started. Somebody asked me how my twins were doing in there. And then another lady told me how uncomfortable I'll be this summer.

I'm working to be gracious about comments, but it was a blow to my self-esteem.

@evansjamie: I seriously can't believe someone asked you about twins. I saw your picture and you don't even look close to twins material. So pick up that self-esteem. I'm hormonal today and am reeling over the way people speak to one another. Animals! PS - Benefit of the doubt - Maybe the lady who commented on how hot you'll be was remembering her pregnancy? But whoever uttered twins is just plain stupid.

@kjpugs: @corilyns: You ladies are awesome. I really think most people don't know how pregnant bodies look. I just want to tell them, "Yes, I'm carrying around an extra 15 pounds or so, yes, most of it is in my belly, and yes, I know exactly how hot Kentucky gets in the summertime. My midwife is not concerned, and you shouldn't be either."

People should be nice and only say, "Oh, you look great! Pregnancy is awesome, isn't it?" So far most people have been nice, and some members have gone out of their way to ask how I'm doing and stuff. These two people just stuck in my craw because it's a stressful day overall.
