I'm 18w today, sometimes my baby belly is visible and sometimes not so much. I think it gets bigger once I've eaten and towards end of the day. I don't know if it's bloating or actually a bump and the fact the baby has moved position but starting to worry it's not big enough. I have put 3lb on so far but I am very slim to start with and I do feel baby moving often. I just wondered if any other ftm felt same?
This is actually my third and my belly seems to be the smallest for the same stage compared to the others. Worries me a little, but I see the midwife tomorrow so that should put my mind at ease
I had a similar experience with my first born. I’m naturally quite slim and I was fearful that I’d not gain enough weight. I ended up gaining 10kg eventually and gave birth to a healthy baby. Second time round, let’s see how this goes.
I carried my son differently (not because he was a boy but I think just because I did). My belly kept measuring small, and I had to have all these extra measurement ultrasounds in the third trimester. But each time he was normal size, my fluid amount was normal... I think if it’s possible my uterus was tucked in me weird? All I know is that I measured 3 weeks behind but baby came out 7 lb 7 oz.
I am fluffy and I always show really early. Like it's embarrassing. My friend is very thin and didn't show until about 25 weeks. I was just in shock honestly lol. She now has two perfectly healthy babies and her bump has been about the same with both pregnancies. We are all different! Your baby is going to be just fine.
Nope! my uterus measured two weeks behind 3 days before I have birth last time and I had an 8#6oz girl. My sister and I can both keep it tucked in there for some reason. You pack on weight on the third trimester anyway.
I feel the same way. I’m about 16.5 weeks now and feel like my bump has actually gotten smaller. It worries me but I’m thinking what I thought was a “bump” early on was just bloating. I have a dr. appointment on Tuesday so I’m feeling anxious to make sure everything it ok.
No, the weight will pack on don't worry. Sometimes it all comes at the end. At 16 weeks last pregnancy last year I had gained 3 lbs and by the time I delivered at 38 weeks 4 days, I had gained a total of 49 lbs. This time at 16 weeks and 2 days, I have lost a total of 2 lbs.
Community Garden in Adelaide's inner-city parklands has launched yet another 'Urban Orchard', a project to enable people swap and share homegrown and gleaned produce.
"If you've planted a dozen seeds and they've all come up and you don't have room to plant them, bring them along to the garden and help yourself to goodies that others provide. And if you have nothing to spare, come along anyway and help yourself, because the idea is simply to share our abundance. No strings attached. No registration or membership required," said garden co-ordinator Mij Tanith.
The garden will be hosing a free exchange of produce, seeds and plants every Sunday between 9am and noon.

This week I thought I would share some wise words from Lara Morgan, who circulated the words below to all of her company heads.
An opportunity can only be realised when you have the vision to recognise it and the resources, skills and plan to execute on it. And yet many companies with these resources who see opportunities don’t take advantage of them.
I help individuals lose weight, gain more energy, and reduce their bloating by focusing on balancing the gut and hormones.
We do this by working through small changes to your current lifestyle that have a larger impact on your health.
I’ve designed a series of programs that are tailored to your individual needs to ensure long-term success in achieving optimal health for all!
In order to kick start your healthy lifestyle, you'll start with an initial consultation. This is a 1-2 hour session where we will take a deep dive together into your health history, what you've tried, what you feel works for you, and what your goals are. Together, we will develop a road map to get you feeling great again and get you to your goals. Click below to book your initial consultation. Price: $135
After the initial consultation, the number of follow-ups needed will vary depending on your needs. Those dealing with chronic illness or weight loss can expect to follow-up every 2 weeks for the first six months. Those looking for more general health improvements can expect to follow-up every 2 weeks for three months. I allow unlimited contact in-between consultations for questions, comments, or concerns. Price: Varies
Not quite ready for individual nutrition consultations? Check out my self-paced, nutrition guided programs below:
The 10-Day Body Reset is designed to reduce or remove inflammatory foods and allow the body to return to functioning in a healthy manner. This 10-day reset is designed to provide you with the tools to continue moving forward past the 10-days. You'll receive a meal plan, a shopping list, and daily education and support. Price $97 (Valued at $297)
Looking for a customized meal plan? This service is best utilized by individuals that have no serious health issues, are self-motivated, and don't need to check in with someone to stay on track. The meal plan service includes a 30-minute phone consultation to assess your needs and goals. I will then design a 21-day meal plan specific to your macronutrient and micronutrient needs and goals. You will also receive a shopping list and recipes. Price: $197
Payment: I accept all major credit cards and checks. Payment is required following the consultation. I also accept FSA (Flex Spending Account) and HSA (Health Savings Account) cards. Please note that it is your responsibility to verify coverage for nutrition counseling. Your plan may require that you have a Medical Letter of Necessity for reimbursement.
Insurance: I do not accept insurance at this time. I can provide a receipt (superbill) for you that you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.
I offer a variety of functional and standard testing. Testing can be expensive and not all tests are covered by insurance.
I take an approach to testing with caution. I won't advise a client on a test if I don't think they need the test. I would not want to spend unnecessary money and I assume my clients wouldn't either.
