Guest guest Posted April 17, 2001 Report Share Posted April 17, 2001 Dana My clothes were pretty tight right away. I am not sure if it was from the fertility drugs or what. I think I was bloated. I am now 14 weeks and definetely noticable. Up until about a week ago I was able to fit into my skirts I wear to work with the zipper down a little. Now forget it. I went to my first dr appt at 9 weeks. I had gained 5lbs by that point and then at my last visit I gained another 5. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2001 Report Share Posted April 17, 2001 Dana, My pants were very snug and uncomfortable by about 7-8 weeks. By 10 weeks there were very few pants I could wear. I had a couple of pants that had some elastic in the waistband and those were the only ones I could wear. By 12 weeks I was not able to wear any of my pants any more. Now, at 14 weeks, there are some tops I can't wear any longer. They are really tight across the chest. I bought some Maternity clothes a couple of weeks ago and have been wearing some of them. I'm trying to hold out on going full Maternity as long as I can. I've heard you get really tired of the same old clothes pretty quick. Early on I bought some non-Maternity clothes that were just very loose and comfy. Hope that helps some. Of course, everyone is different. I have a friend who didn't wear any Maternity until she was 5 months! elle > Ok ladies, > > I said I had alot of questions and now the one for the day is how far along > were you when you couldn't wear your pre-pregnancy clothes anymore??

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2001 Report Share Posted April 18, 2001 Ellle,, I have quite a few jumpers that I can wear but my problem is the bb's. I have already grown a cup size in just 6 weeks 6 days. I am thinking I'll be Dolly before it's over with. My shirts all pull across the front (not attractive at all) and my jumpers are already getting a bit snug in that area. I need them slow down so the rest can catch up.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2001 Report Share Posted April 18, 2001 Pam, OK see all my pants are tight already, can't begin to wear any of them, and forget trying to squeeze into jeans. I am able to wear some of my jumpers but bb's are getting HUGE!! That's what is outgrowing my clothes. I had to go buy new bras already. I haven't gained any weight according to the scales, but nothing fits right anymore. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2001 Report Share Posted April 18, 2001 Dolly Dana, You are too funny! I am not able to wear very many of my shirts now either, so I can sympathize. I think this is the symptom DH likes the best! I told him to enjoy it now, because it's probably not going to last! After my sister had her kids, she ended up being smaller than she was before she ever got pg. elle > Ellle,, > > I have quite a few jumpers that I can wear but my problem is the bb's.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2001 Report Share Posted April 18, 2001 , All my clothes are pretty fitted as well. I don't have any "long" shirts I could wear outside my pants. I wear alot of jumpers but my boobs are getting so big that they are all getting tight. At this rate I won't be able to wear any of my shirts in another week. I have done from a 36 B to a 36 C and that C is completely filled up. I know in a week or so I'll be buying another bra. It's scary they are growing so fast, but they should be as bad as they hurt. calls them atomic titties...They are killing me!! Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2001 Report Share Posted April 18, 2001 Hi Dana, With boobs that sore and growing that fast only means one thing ""healthy pg"" !! I know that is not comforting to hear at this point I will say that when I was pg with our 3.5 yr old my boobs were SO sore, I went from an 34D cup to a 38DD nursing bra the first trimester. Then they stopped being so sore and I did not increase in size that much more!! Good luck !!

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2001 Report Share Posted April 18, 2001 I am 14 weeks and am still tired. But its starting to get better. I can stay up until 9:00 now instead of 7:30. Although I don't sleep well and I wake up a couple of times to pee. So that basically makes me exhausted all day. Pam 14 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2001 Report Share Posted April 18, 2001 R and Jen, Sorry Jen, but I am 14 weeks 3 days and I am still exhausted! I will say you start to get used to it though. At about 10-1/2 weeks I thought I was getting my energy back. That last for about a week! I haven't slept through the night since I got pg due to either sore bb, getting up to pee all through the night, the uterus stretching pains, etc. If it's not one thing, it's another. You might be different though. Get some rest sweetie! elle 14 weeks 3 days > Hi everyone lisa r here!! > > Jen who recently joined the group wanted me to ask you all a question... she is just sooooooo exhausted that she doesn't even have the energy to check her emails... > > She would like to know when does the extreme exhaustion/tiredness go away??

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2001 Report Share Posted April 18, 2001 Hi and Jen, I'm 10 weeks 2 days and still very tired, but I must admit that it's much better than previously.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2001 Report Share Posted April 18, 2001 , I was looking through the members list today and wondering where she went to... I think it usually goes away after the first trimester is over (give or take a few weeks). Then again, I don't know for sure bc I slept through most of my pg w/ ... sorry I couldn't help more!

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 Hi Jody, I took a few of their products for several years about 8 years ago. I was already hypothyroid then and someone at aerobics was selling them. Some of the products have iodine. Amounts greater than 150 mcg can harm people who are hyperthyroid. In hypothryodism, amounts of iodine greater than 1,000 mcg can worsen hypo symptoms, but what I took didn't have that much. Anyway, I spent quite a bit of money on the products and didn't lose weight. No magic bullet here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 8, 2001 Report Share Posted August 8, 2001 Hi Jody, Yes, I've been drained, muscle aches and no puffiness but my eyes have been blurry. I did contribute this to the heat and last week I moved my little sister and her son in with me. She lost her job and had to give up her apartment, couldn't let her live on the street. So far things have been going great just hope it don't make me come out of remission. Debbie R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 8, 2001 Report Share Posted August 8, 2001 !!!! OMG you are behind! And I am planning on sending you some of the vaccine stuff when my new monitor gets here late this week! This weather is the pits, I don't ever want to check for mail but am so close to being over the limit I have to. Hang on...only one more day of this CRAP before some of your nice cool Canadian air gets here! Let me know if you want me to hold off on the vaccine stuff before Friday...or do what I do, the articles I copy and paste to word then save them on my desktop, drag and drop them to a folder I made for the 'to be read' stuff...it cleans out my mail TTYL Jody _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 8, 2001 Report Share Posted August 8, 2001 I don't do well with heat or cold. No heatwave here since this spring but then my feet and hands swelled.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2001 Report Share Posted August 9, 2001 Yes, taking its toll. I'm exhausted, Jody. In MN, for hte past two days we were warned not to go outside not only because of heat but because of pollution. Question > Hi all, > I have a question about the heat.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2001 Report Share Posted August 9, 2001 , Isn't this year something! We have had 9 straight days of over 90 with high humidity! It is suppose to break tonight, I sure hope so, not sure what I will do if the Canadian cold front misses us again. Have literally been in tears for the last 3 days And living in wet clothes because I go hose down outside then come sit in front of the fan...it helps some! Does the heat affect the eyes and make them puffier?

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2001 Report Share Posted September 16, 2001 Hi Jody- I'd think we'd use and need more thyroid hormone when stressed. We're keyed up which uses more energy. We need thyroid hormone to produce more energy. That's why I don't like being completely reliant on exogenous thyroid hormone. We can't adjust it like our bodies would normally do if we had thyroid glands. I've also been pretty wiped out the last few days. My hands are cracking and bleeding again and I have sores all over. Haven't had that happen for a while. Take care, > Okay, I have a GD question...and I KNOW I should know the answer but am not > processing right now.
