Anavy teddy bearsHi ladies, how are your bumps? Mine is OK, 28 weeks now and I've already gained 9 kilo! 
I have another scan pic (or two 
):
I still didn't manage to get a pic of the bump but it's quite visible now (I was even offered a seat in on bus/tram twice! 
).

glad you are all feeling well, i had a bit of a scary fall last week, carrying my youngest evie who is 2 and slipped in a puddle, baby and evie are fine but i was abit embarrassed and wet!!! i badly bruised and cut my kneee and ego!!!! starting to feel much better now though.
im now 31 weeks, also cacking my pants!! got a scan in may to see if my placenta has moved as its low, heres a piccie of me, just this min took it... its a bit poo as i had to do it myself, excuse what you can see of my hair and face, its still early!!! and im suffereing with lack of sleep too!!!
you look fab cat, cant believe you only have 4 weeks left, and well don you on the home birth.... i cant be doing with the kids around me... and people dropping by i was offered one but turned it down!!!
Iv gone up from 10 stonne (down from 14 after the 1st 2!) back up to 12 stonne and with 9 weeks left and still easter eggs in the cupbard.... im gonna end up being a chunky bum!!!
well i wish you all luck, cant wait to see some baby pics!!!!
LuxembearsIva, your ultra sound is beautiful. To see your baby's profile like that is amazing. Mine were never that clear. I would treasure that image always.
Good luck to all of you ladies...and we want to see pictures when the bundles of joy arrive.
So happy to hear it's all going well for you preggie girls! I second Judi...we must see pics of the new arrivals as soon as you can! Love to all the bumps

Anavy teddy bearsHi ladies, you look great! My bump is here:
The pics were taken yesterday by my friend who "used" me as a model for some work for a photography course she is taking.
Iva

"a bear by kim"ahhhhhhhhh, you all look fab!!
wouldnt dare bear my bare bump, it loks like a flipping roadmap!!!!! plus my boobs have drooped that much you wouldnt be able to see that much of it anyway!!!!
is there a secret to that silky soft bump iva?
kim, i did feel envy, like your self, you will notice mine is covered up too, after 3 pregnancies you can imagine my road map, where oh where do the blue blotches come from ?
and i had twins last time - saggy ville !
iva, you dont happen to have been air brushed do you sweetie ? :-)
j/k, i looked cute like you when i was 20 something and first pregnant 10 years ago !

Anavy teddy bearsWell, the skin on my bump is nice but I can't say the same about the boobs... There are violet/red veins and striae all over them. Maybe that's because I had quite small boobs before my pregnancy and they've grown a lot (I had to buy a new bra every month until it stopped!) and the skin was not able to cope... But the bump is quite small (compared to others I've seen) and grows slowly. And my hubby massages both areas with a special massage oil every other day so maybe that helped.

Anavy teddy bearsAnd yes, Cat, it's definitely also because it's my first pregnancy and I'm only 21!
sh see, i am just so clever !
when i was preg and 26, my boobs had t grow such a lot too, and i got stretchmarks on them too, poor boobs !

"a bear by kim"our poor boobies...... they all deserve a treat!!!
im complaining now but ill be breast feeding this one too so in total over 3 babies that'll be a combined 28 months....
think ill treat them to some scafolding rather than bras!!!!!!
how lucky are you iva to have such a wonderful fella. i was 26 when i had my 1st baby too cat, and crikey ... twins!!! double the trouble.
Posts: 2,203I use a lot of lotion!!!
