Putting on weight

I know it's normal to put on weight while pregnant but it's really bringing me down and then when I have a bad eating day I just feel like I'm failing..I know it's all probably hormones, I don't think it helps that in my first pregnancy I lost quite a bit of weight instead of putting on

Don’t worry I’m 25 weeks and put on over 2 stone 🤦‍♀️ I’m not being hard on myself and will sort it out when they are here right now getting through pregnancy and baby being ok is my main concern! Your not alone though ❤️

Yes - feeling much the same . How much weight is okay to put on during the pregnancy.

I’m the exact same! I’ve put on a lot of weight and a lot of it is self inflicted as I turn to food when I feel low in myself (then the cycle begins). With this said, if my bestie was in my shoes, I’d remind her that what she is doing right now is bloody amazing & her body is amazing! You are not failing whatsoever!! The last thing I’d care about is the weight she’d gained so with that, be kind to yourself and, although your feelings about yourself shouldn’t be dismissed, please keep in mind that you are bringing life into this world and your body is doing amazing work right now ❤️

34.1 weeks

Turned 34 weeks yesterday & I am utterly done with pregnancy. Second pregnancy too , got anxiety keeping me up because my first born was born 35.6 weeks so I’m sat anticipating when this one will come . Then my 4 year old is high energy . I don’t work but existing feels so exhausting. I’m overwhelmed because we’ve had to change the birth plan & turns out I can’t just have a normal labour without interventions so I’m anxious about that . Anyone else?

6 week and baby not smiling yet

I see lots of windy smiles, but no social smiles yet. Bit worried as at gp check they asked me about social smiles and said that you’d expect to see them now :(. Is anyone else in the same boat? Xx

Baby #2!

finally pregnancy with baby #2!! also with an estimated december due date!! Anyone else here pregnant with #2??

2nd baby thoughts already?

My son is 2 weeks old today and im already looking at my pregnancy through rose tinted glasses and thinking when can we have another. Crazy?

Today is my due date ...

And baby boy doesn't want to come out just yet. Any encouraging words of wisdom? Im happy he's healthy and comfy beings this is a rainbow baby for me. I had my daughter 16 yrs ago in June and than being 16 yrs old myself and my husband 18 we somehow managed to wait till our mid 20s. It wasn't until 3 years ago I've had a lost every year. Really threw me through a mental spiral.

This pregnancy tho I must say (what's up with all the must says lol ) it has me chill af. Like I have purpose again.

Moms out there, did any of this happen to you in a similar situation?

P.s I lost my mucus plug yesterday, cramping here and there and tightness. Terrible back pain, membrane sweep last Wednesday and nadda.

37 weeks

Can’t believe the time is nearly here!
Anyone else about 37 weeks?
