Second Trimester Weight Gain

I’m week 20 and I’m only up 2lbs. Baby is growing just fine. What did you gain by the end of your second trimester? Did it pick up? What about your third - was it less or more than your second? Thanks ladies !!

I gained 19 pounds in total by the end of my first and second trimester, but 11 of it was between week 22-26 🤣. My weight and bump REALLY picked up around week 21.
Tbd on third trimester. I’ve been trying to stay away from sugar cravings bc I failed my one hour glucose test. I failed it by one point and my doc said I really didn’t need to go through the fasting and hospital time of the 3hr if I just wanted to cut my processed sugar intake drastically.

With my daughter, I lost 7lbs in the first trimester and then gained 12 from there. For a total of 5lbs gained during pregnancy.

I’m 36 weeks with my second pregnancy and have only gained 7lbs so far.

I’d only put on 6lbs up until the third trimester.. I’m now 33 +5 and I’ve gained 22lbs so definitely picked up after the 28weeks

I only gained 4 pounds from the time I got pregnant to 21 weeks. Then, I gained a pound a week from 21-25 weeks. Right now I’m almost 25 so we shall see.

With my first pregnancy, I lost about 10lbs first trimester and gained it back second trimester. By the end of pregnancy I had only gained about 20lbs counting what I lost. I was all belly !

Hospital Bag?

Hey everyone! When is the right time to pack your hospital bag and what on earth do I need? I see so many different websites and advice on social media that it all gets very overwhelming. Thank you so much for any help.

Things you wish you’d do before C-Section

I’m having my section on Sunday, and trying to write a bunch of ‘self-care’ type things I want to do before hand.
Now I’m not talking the practical things like setting up changing or feeding stations etc. I’m talking things for you like shaving your legs or dying your eyebrows 😂
I know from my last section that I’m not gunna feel my best so I want to do everything I can to feel good! I’ve got a fresh haircut already!
So what are some things you did / wish you did before your c section?

UK Mums: If you had an assigned midwife for your first pregnancy, but not your 2nd. Were you a bit disappointed?

For my first pregnancy I was blessed with having an assigned midwife that I saw every appointment. She was absolutely amazing, so I guess I was spoiled in that sense. This pregnancy, I see a different midwife every appointment and I am a bit disappointed. Before anyone jumps on my back I know it is not guaranteed to have an assigned midwife. It is just hard when each midwife answered my question differently at each appointment and it took the epilepsy clinic (was referred due to having seizures in the last) to give me the actual answer. I also keep getting told that if I have any general questions to contact MAU, but I always thought they were there for urgent matters? Anyways sorry for rambling, I am just a person that feels at ease with consistency 😭

Help!

Stuck on names, I have an Ollie already.

We were set on Hugo but I don’t like any of the shortened nicknames for Hugo and don’t feel it’s as easy to say as Ollie! What do you think?
