Weight gain

5 months pp and I feel I’m gaining the weight that I reduced back. I’m working out, watching what I eat and drinking water. I don’t know why I can’t lose weight. I lost all the baby weight the first month but started gaining back since month 3. Also I’m still breastfeeding. I’m very unhappy about my body and feel very insecure

This is exactly how i feel as well and now that I've gained weight I feel it so much

I’m sorry. I don’t have any advice. But the same thing happened to me. Gained nothing once the water weight left. But gained so much breastfeeding. I was told it was supposed to help you lose weight. It didn’t. I was super hungry while breastfeeding and I know you’re supposed to get an extra 500 calories to breastfeed. I filled my belly flab with fat over then next 9 months. I gained more weight post pregnancy than I ever had being pregnant. After my breastfeeding was done I did the “3 day military diet “ (would definitely NOT recommend while pregnant or breastfeeding) I switched out a few meals for the vegetarian version when I got bored with the regular one. 3 days a week on the diet and 4 days a week of moderation and slightly healthier versions of my usual meals. Started losing the weight but I had to stop when I got pregnant again.

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

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 😃
