Food Journal

I’ve been eating unhealthy (sweets and fast food and a lot) for a month and a half now. I’ve gained a lot of weight — people are like you’re pregnant it’s okay — but I know my habits will be here after baby is here. I need to switch things up — so I’m commuting to log everything I eat during the day in the comments below. This way I can see and consciously start adjusting my ways for my and my family’s health benefits. Feel free to log what you eat too if it’s something you would find beneficial 🫶

Uuuh, I love this, ❤️ I did this with ChatGpt when restarting my fitness journey pp, 💪
I'm rooting for you, especially now it'll be way easier for you coz postpartum the indulging hits hardest

Feel free to message me! Im a second time mom at 28 weeks. I know how stressful pregnancy weight gain and eating habits can be. I gained 60lbs with my first and I will say my poor eating habits did not follow me into postpartum. I lost all 60 by 6 months postpartum just by walks and eating real/whole food. I lost an additional 27lbs by 18m postpartum all while breastfeeding. Its definitely nerve racking seeing the scale climb again but ik this is just a phase. My appetite is absolutely horrendous while pregnant so I give myself lots of grace if I'm able to eat anything at all. Definitely making smarter choices this time around but its never fun forcing food or restricting the snacks that are appealing. Moderation helps when enjoying the pregnancy cravings.

Bump..

Just hit 26 weeks pregnant and I CANNOT stop comparing my bump to other people! It doesn’t help with hearing “oh you’ve popped” or “where did that come from” every bloody day🙄
What are our 26 week bumps looking like? This photo was taken today and I am 26+1

My little boy born 5th April at 18:15 weighing 6lbs 11oz. He kept it interesting by turning from breech on the day of my csection on April 1st. Started induction on his due date the 4th and he he was here within 24 hours. So happy and hope everyone else has an amazing birth experience <3

Icky or not?

To cancel my gym i need to prove that im pregnant (they want a scan photo). Now, from a company/business perspective I totally get it. However, how many women are cancelling their membership because they're pregnant? It feels icky. Like what if I had had a miscarriage before my scan - i'd have to prove that? What if I dont want to share my scan photo? I come and pee on a stick in front of you? It just feels a bit anti-woman and not well thought through

More info for cesarean

Hi everyone, 26 weeks, just had my follow up scan after finding out at 20week (done at 22w due to scheduling) that I have complete placenta Privia. My dr said it was still early and can move as baby grows however today at our second scan, he said as it hasn’t moved in 4 weeks, and he is concerned that it may not move. He started taking about c sections and the high risks associated with it, and my head just wants to explode. I have had two medically perfect unmedicated births, and now I have to have my worst fear of being cut open come to life. I am absolutely terrified of having a c section. The whole reason I’ve done unmedicated both times is because I hate hospitals, I hate hate hate needles and how not only do I have to give birth in a hospital but also have to have a cesarean, and my entire medical team is going to be changed. I’m just so heartbroken and terrified. Im not sure exactly what I’m looking for, I guess just reassuring words or advice. Thanks

When did your pregnancy sickness get better?

I’m almost 8 weeks pregnant with my second, and the sickness this time is horrific. With my first little boy I had zero sickness at all, my pregnancy was a breeze. But this time it’s taken me out, and ofc I wasn’t expecting this as my first was so easy. I am gagging every 10 minutes almost throwing up, I am exhausted and I can hardly do anything, I can hardly eat and drink, I’ve never felt so ill in all my life.
When does this subside, because the mum guilt is eating me alive as I am feeling so unwell I cant do much with my little boy

(Fyi I’ve already had an early scan and there is one healthy baby ❤️)

Movements

I don't want to get paranoid like I did last pregnancy.
How movement changes towards the end? Im 37 weeks. I stopped Aspirin at 35 weeks.
I still fell her moving. Its just less intense.
Im not worried. I just want to make sure less forceful kicks are normal.
