    Yes it was a normal delivery, no pain relief and less than 2hrs. According to hospital dates he was 16 days late but following my dates he came on due date! I hate it when they change your dates i even new when i had concieved the last one! But thats another story! lol. x

    I lost 5lbs when I first found out...then I put 3 back on....I don't seem to have put on any more weight but I bought size 14 trousers to grow into and now they're close to not fitting! Maybe I'll never get back down to my original 12 image( LOL

    hi debbie, don't worry about 2 stone, that's fine if you have big babies, better to bounce than creak I say, that's my excuse! :lol: No.1 was 9lb13oz (a tiddler compared to yours!) and this is going to be as big or bigger. They won't let me go o/due and are talking about inducing me at 38-40wk? I just wanted to ask if all yours had got consistently bigger and if you were ever offered to be induced early?

    I feel inadequate now hearing about your ample bosoms! :cry: I'm 35wk and have put on 1stone 5lb. I wouldn't have minded putting on some more up top cos they've hardly changed. I'm sure they look smaller cos my bump is so big! :lol:

    My 1st was 9lb boy, 2nd was 8lb 9 1/2 girl 3rd was 10lb 8ozs girl and 4th 10lb 11ozs boy. Ive never been advised to have them early but im always checked for diabetes, which ive never had. Maybe they just think its the norm for my body and arnt too concerned. At last midwife apt bump was measuring 4 - 5 wks bigger so she just said that we would keep an eye on that. Im hoping that ill get an extra scan, any excuse to see baby again! lol. When is your baby due loopylass? x

    u poor thing, how many weeks are you? I'm normally a 36C/D although Mothercare measured me a DD all my old bras still fit perfectly and don't dig in or anything so i think they're the same. Am sick of reading about how big your boobs will get, I'm panicking I won't be able to breastfeed now. I suppose us women are never happy with what we've got are we?! Wonder if men worry about their weight and their bits as much as us?! image

    I havent had my boobs measured yet, waiting till 36wks to get measured for feeding bras. Im just wearing large sport style maternity bras at the moment. I was a 44dd before pregnancy but dont think ive changed much! My boobs also look small because of the size of my bump! x

    I used to live at the gym, thats why i used to stay slim. I went 6 days a week and my dietician had a constant set diet for me to stay slim. Its a lot of pressure 2 stay slim, i used to have to stay slim for my job, but now i dont care so much its the first time ive been able to eat what i want. I would like to be bigger up top though!! Its not easy for women is it?! Sophia x

    My dd is 4th April but i've had too much amniotic fluid so was measuring 8 cm too big at 28 wk but i think it's settled down now but i have had extra scans, GTT, heart scans etc. You're right, it's nice to see them again on the scan, i've got another 2moro! I'm not small myself tho....5"8, size 14 and size 8 feet! OH is 6"4 so I guess i'll never have a 7-8lber.

    Good luck with your scan 2moro! You and your oh are quite tall then, the bigger your feet the bigger your pelvis so they say, so thats very good for labour! Before i got pregnant this time i had lost 4 and 1/2 stone and went to the gym for 2hrs 4 times a wk. I really got into the gym and i do miss it but was worried about going during pregnancy. I try not to worry about weight during pregnancy because i know i can sort it out once ive had the baby. x

    I'm 26+4 and have put on a stone, my boobs have gone from a 36C to a D.. When i last see the midwife she did say she thought i was going to have a bigger baby as she was bigger than she was meant to be!! I'm hoping that she is not too big as i cry if i get a paper cut, god knows what i will be like during labour!!

    Hi Jadie, you will fine if your baby is big, from my experience the bigger the baby the quicker and easier the birth! How many wks are you? x
