Growing so much quicker with baby #3

I swear I look as big at 28 weeks that I did at 36 weeks with my other 2 children. I know they say you grow faster each time but geeeez. I’m like how much more is my body going to stretch when I still have 12 weeks left 🤦🏻‍♀️. Watching ur body change is never easy but I’m like thinking if I gain more weight and stretch more this time around that my postpartum body journey is going to be even harder than the last 2 times too. Not ready for that. I had all my babies back to back so I’m glad this is my last one and my body can finally take the years it needs to heal.

it’s so frustrating!! there’s not much to do though. i feel like it’s just genetics. i get so jealous of those women who just *pop and the. go back to pre baby body in a month or so. you will get there though. we are strong!

i’m currently 32 weeks pregnant with baby number two, and i feel like i started showing at 20 weeks whereas in my first pregnancy, i didn’t show until 30+ weeks 😅 i gained zero baby weight with baby number 1, i literally birthed him & looked normal hours after but this time around, i know it’s going to be different 🥲

I’m only 15 weeks and look way bigger than I did at 20 weeks last time. It’s overwhelming.

@Ellen it is overwhelming- people keep acting like I’m being dramatic when I talk about it but it’s hard watching ur body change in general, let alone wondering what the aftermath will be since I’m growing and stretching faster than I did my last 2 pregnancies

I feel this! This is my third pregnancy, I'm 11weeks 3 days and I already look 5 months pregnant. I don't fit into any of my old clothes. It's been very hard to accept what is happening but I'm so excited for this 3rd baby

@Leslie I agree- it’s stlll very exciting especially because we’ve deduced this is our last baby but it’s definitely hard since my body grew basically the same for my first two pregnancies and now everything is happening faster. Hopefully that means a faster early delivery too lol

Yeah this is my last baby as well. Toying with the idea of getting a tubal after this. I just hope I'll be able to handle the growth and keep my weight within the limits my doctor gave me.

@Leslie yea I just failed my 1 hr glucose so hoping this quick weight gain isn’t related to that as well. We’ll see after the 3 hr test results.. and my husband got a vasectomy. And I been trying to eat better because the last couple months I’ve been on a fast food craving kick smh but it’s hard because I’ve been extra hungry for some reason.
