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 !

Do active babies in the womb become active newborns?

I had my 40 week ultrasound yesterday (on my due date) and the doctor mentioned how active my baby is. Curious as to your experiences regarding if your baby was active in the womb, are they likely to be active when they’re newborn? 😊

Small bumps

I have a really small bump, at 27 weeks pregnant. People keep commenting on the fact my bump is so small and its starting to worry & get me down. Has anyone here had a small bump with a baby that weighed measured average size? Its really worrying me! I have a 30 week scan and one at 37 weeks because im on a moderate pathway - had a gastric sleeve in 2023 so its to check she is growing but as the comments are coming im now panicking where I wasnt before 😫

Early Labour?

I’m 34 weeks today, since 3am I’ve been having irregular cramping which becomes quite intense and has caused me to vomit. I’ve also had diarrhoea. Could I be in early labour or could I just have a bad stomach? I feel generally well in myself

When is it ok to start running again? Health visitor advised to wait longer before running but did anyone start at 7 weeks and how?
I know I won't be running marathons any time soon and probably have to start back at a couch to 5k but when?! I'm getting restless legs! Advice please

Movements at 31 weeks

Does anyone else feel like their movements are more subtle since being further along in the pregnancy? I can feel my baby moving inside my belly but I don't feel the movements as "strong" when I put my hand on my belly. Not sure if it's because they've changed from "kicking" to "rolling" movements.

Anyone else feel the same?
