Bridesmaid next weekend

This is more a hilarious plea for those that understand. I’m a bridesmaid in my friend’s wedding next weekend. Hadn’t tried the dress on until last night, thinking oh it won’t be that bad, it needs taking in etc as we got it a size bigger than necessary. Nope! Fits like a glove and hugs the bump way more than I’m comfortable with. Feel like I’m going to hate everyone staring as I walk down the aisle like a freshly caught whale 😅. Not a style I would choose pre-pregnancy but I all can do is go with the flow!!

Could you ask the bride if there are any accessories you could add to make you feel more comfortable? Or ask her if she would be happy for you to change into something else that she likes after all that important stuff is done? I’m sure she’ll understand your need for comfort!

Imagine what it will feel like after eating too 😬😬

I'm in the same boat, I understand your struggle 😂 the bride has said I can change into something more comfy after photos etc, hopefully you'll be able to do the same!

I understand your struggle too! I’m bridesmaid this Sunday and thankfully the dress is a bit looser on my tummy but still a bit worried !

I’m in a similar situation, not a bridesmaid but I have a wedding to go to this weekend and feel so awkward and uncomfortable in my dress! I am not used to styling this new body yet and dread to think what the pictures will turn out like 😂

I was also a bridesmaid recently. I was only around 13 weeks at the time but I changed out of my dress for the night time and the bride was fine with it, I felt ok until I’d eaten the meal and didn’t feel comfy dancing and couldn’t relax. She said she’d much more prefer me to get changed and be able to join in fully. 😊

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

I am so done with pregnancy !

Everything i do hurt . I sit down / i stand up / i walk / i lie down. I am in pain ! I am tired ! His mouvement hurt down there like electricity chock ! My back is on fire ! If i walk more then 5 minutes i feel like i am going to die ( low ferritine) the acid reflux is crazy . I mean i can’t and don’t wanna do this no more . Only 31 weeks !

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
