Guest guest Posted June 21, 2001 Report Share Posted June 21, 2001 Pam and a, I am thinking the same thing!!! To be almost 21 weeks and not be in maternity clothes...WOW! Way to go a! I agree with you Pam that although maternity clothes are not the most attractive, they are sooo comfy! I also feel really big, although someone told me the other day that for being 6 months, I don't look it. Maybe they were just being nice... elle > a > > I can't believe you are not in maternity yet.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2001 Report Share Posted June 21, 2001 That is sooo true...very few options on what to wear in the in-between months. I mean right now I think I would look down right silly in maternity, but don't fit into most of my pre-pg clothes (especially the pants) and I'm normally not a very large person either..size 4-6 before pg. I think part of my problem is for the past 3 months I have done absolutely NO exercise cause I've been absolutely tired all the time and my rear end started to expand some )...now that I'm getting some energy back I plan to at least start walking on an almost daily basis As for overalls...LOVE 'EM! They are by far my favorite thing to wear right now, but I can't wear them to work That's my biggest problem, what to wear to work. I have some summer dresses that are just roomy by the nature of their style so those have worked well. I think I might go get a few more so I don't feel like I'm wearing the same thing every day. -AmyR 12wk5d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2001 Report Share Posted June 21, 2001 Hey, you are making me feel bad. I do want to show, and I feel that I am showing, but no one besides DH seems to notice. On the contrary, people remark that I am not showing at all. I am 5'8 " and have a longish torso. I guess the baby has lots of space to hide. I got on a scale today, and found that I had not gained any weight in almost two weeks. Of course, that freaked me out as well. Last Fri the baby was measuring right on schedule, and I hope things have continued to go well. a > > a > > > > I can't believe you are not in maternity yet. You are making me feel > > huge.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2001 Report Share Posted June 21, 2001 kristina, Oh...I didn't mean to make you feel bad ~ I'm sorry! I think everyone is just so different in how they carry weight and babies. I am 5'5 " and pre pg weighed 110. I've always had a high metabolism and have been lucky enough not to have to watch my weight. In fact, if anything, I have a hard time gaining weight. So, I think becasue I was thin to begin with, the weight is showing more on me. I've heard that if you are smaller, you tend to show quicker anyway. As far as not having gained any weight in two weeks...my Dr. told me that there are certain times and/or months where you will gain more or less. I have noticed in the last few weeks that my appetite has decreased considerably. I'm sure everything is perfectly fine!!! elle > > > a > > > > > > I can't believe you are not in maternity yet.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 Well, you aren't really naming her after a living person...you are naming her after your great-grandmother and dh's grandmother just happens to have the same.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 Yes, I asked someone and that's what they told me too. But the problem is that my MIL did not like her MIL, so she may have a problem with the name. She will be visiting in August, and I hope to work it out then. a > Well, you aren't really naming her after a living person...you are naming > her after your great-grandmother and dh's grandmother just happens to have > the same.
