I'm going to ask my dr about this on
wednesday but I was wondering if anyone
knew anything about it. Once in a while
my hands will go numb or tingly, and stay
like that for a long time, no matter how
i'm sitting (meaning i'm not laying on
them cutting of the circulation). Also
today I looked at my legs and noticed they
were all purple with white blotches, then
I went to lay down for a while and they
went back to normal, and when I stood up
again they again went all purplish.
Anyone know anything?
Here's my 30 week 1 day belly from above.

Hmm, I didn't experience that when I was
pregnant with .Aly. But it sounds like
circulation problems? I'm not sure if
your body is trying to adjust to the
weather, or maybe the blood volume in your
system, or... Lord, I have no idea.
I'm no help.

.I'm loving the hoodie avatar! You look
so cute!
And your bump is awesome

It sounds like bad circulation. You do
right going to see your dr about it
Oh another question. When is it safe to
fly until? I'm going to be making a
trip.

Most airlines permit pregnant women to fly
until the end of the 35th week of
pregnancy, whereupon expectant mothers are
strictly advised not to fly.

I would think it would be safe to fly up
until your last few weeks. So maybe up to
36 weeks or so? But the airline might
need a doctor's note saying it's safe
before they permit it. It wouldn't
surprise me. You might want to call and
see.

uuggghh i'm glad you mention I might need
a note cause I would have been very likely
to end up at the airport without one.
I'll definiatly get one from my dr on
wednesday too.
Thanks both of you

i took a whole bunch of me standing up by
setting the timer on my camera but I
seriously could hardly bare to look at
them. I look like such a cow and my face
has gotten all icccky and fatty. I don't
like what I look like pregnant .A.T.
A.L.L! *barf* top pictures I can handle
but when I look at me from the side I
think "i know there's a baby growing in my
belly but what the hell is growing in my
ass".

I was the same way, .Tanya. I gained most
of my weight in my booty, and my hips are
much wider now. I didn't get any stretch
marks on my stomach, but my left hip looks
like tiger stripes. And of course my
husband keeps bringing my "fuller figure"
up like it's a good thing, and he knows
damn well I hate my body right now. I
won't even be thinking about it and he'll
say something like "you fill these jeans
out so well!" well thanks, they're four
sizes bigger than I used to wear and .I'm
dragging this huge ass around, and my hips
have bever been so wide...

Lol. I feel the same as you. I was
carrying round an extra half a stone after
angel was born that I just couldn't shift
and it really showed on me. I've
finally managed to get rid of it
now but it sucked cause strangers assumed
its from logan and that i've just taken
ages to lose it
I weigh around 50 pounds more than I did
around last year christmas time. I mean
I didn't gain it all because of the
pregnancy, but I had lost a lot of weight
around that time and I was eating vegan,
along with other more desperate things I
did to keep my weight low. When I found
out I was pregnant and I gave up things I
had been doing, a mixture of bulemia and
anorexia type behaviors, and right at the
very start when I was for the first time
in months not starving my body, the weight
piled on, and then I started gaining
pregnancy weight too. And now cause of
gaining so much in such a little time i've
got stretch marks, really bad on my belly,
plus I started getting them on my thighs,
and even under my arms. It's sooo
disgusting, I really hate looking at
myself. A lot of the early gain was
getting me back to a healthy weight, but
now i'm seriously huge. It's so
depressing cause i'm only 17 and I feel
like my body is already ruined. It's
going to be hard enough to ever enter
another relationship being a single teen
mother, without looking like a stretch out
sack of cow. Agghhghghg. It's just so
depressing to think I might not be able to
get back to how I looked before, and I
know when i'm a mother I can't go back to
doing it the unhealthy way because I don't
want that type of negativety around my
baby (even if she doesn't understand)
because I want her to grow up loving and
respecting herself, and you can't teach
something you don't live. It's just so
depressing, I seriously hateeee my body
now. I'm not scared of working hard to
get back into shape, but i'm scared that
it doesn't work or I can never get back to
the way I was before, or i'll have extra
skin or something. And it's not like the
stretch marks will ever go away. Sorry
for the rant!

I think my stretch marks are starting to
fade. They're starting to look more
lightish pink than the deep maroon color
that they were. But it depends on how the
light hits them.
On a totally unrelated note, .I'm playing
.Gregorian and .Aly is just loving it!
(.Gregorian is basically gregorian monks
chanting, but they're singing modern-day
songs like "nothing else matters", "with
or without you", "losing my religion",
etc)

yeh I know what you mean there! I used to
do the same kind of stuff starve myself
and purge. I also stopped when I found
out I was pregnant, and I remember feeling
a bit worried because everytime I ate, I
still felt I needed to purge...Like it had
some control over me. But I didnt give
in, I didnt do it at all during my
pregnancy. So I gained weight quite fast
too at the beginning due to being
underweight. Ive got stretch marks on my
stomach, hips, butt and boobs. My hips
are definately wider since
pregnancy/giving birth
And I feel like my body is already ruined
when im only 17. Im worried my boobs are
going to be all saggy and horrible once I
stop breastfeeding, cos right now im a bra
size 38 e! Ugh im scared lol but then you
have to think theres a lot of worse stuff
than stretch marks...And droopy boobs lol
like at least you're healthy you dont have
some nasty illness, and you have a
beautiful baby. Even though the stretch
marks will always be there, you can still
look good by losing the weight, getting
slim again and wearing nice clothes. Its
only when you're naked...But only your
partner is going to see you then anyway
and he should love you stretch marks and
all lol

Oh tanya I know it seems bad at the mo but
it will get better and you will find a man
who loves you regardless of any
stretchmarks.
I am really self concious of my lower
belly as I have a couple of stretchmarks
there and I know when I get a new man I
will be constantly covering up my belly in
bed but hey thats just me

Lol just keep the lights off becks, thats
lucky you've only got a couple!
I care more about feeling attractive than
being in a relationship I guess. It's
more of I don't feel I can have a
relationship when I can't feel confident,
though the confidence (not the
relationship) is my actual desire.
Allie, bulemia is definitely an addiction,
something that makes you feel in control.
Same with anorexia. It feels like an
old friend, almost lonely to know i'm
never going back to it.

yeh it is, but with the bulimia part, when
I was first stopped doing it, for a while
I felt like .I.T was controlling me, not
the other way around. Like i'd have a
meal then feel a huge urge to want to go
purge and I couldnt control that feeling.
That did scare me. I never did it again
during pregnancy, but it took a while to
stop feeling like I .M.U.S.T do it you
know? Weird...Anyway to be honest I have
done it since ive had lucas, but ive
stopped completely now. The last few
times I got burst blood vessels in my
eyes, I felt awful, I looked at lucas and
I decided thats it, im never doing it
again...I dont wanna hurt myself cos it
will hurt him.
Being anorexic can really screw up your
digestive system, its not worth it
anymore.
