Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 30 lbs since conception
so hopefully she has a favorite spot.
Rolling more often to get comfortable.
Symptoms: The swelling, oh the swelling! It now sometimes greets me in the morning, but most times doesn’t make an appearance until after work. I’ve been having some Braxton Hicks contractions and feel my stomach tighten, mostly in the evenings. Need to start slowing down and not making sudden movements as I have been experiencing some muscle like pulls on the sides on my lower tummy. Take it easy lady!
Best Moment this week: Been a pretty calm week, but this week I would have to say it would be feeling her move so much after a brief scare Monday morning. She took her time and didn’t get her 10 kicks in until 5 hours! Had my BP checked (normal at 103/70) and laid on my side in the clinic for a bit, and she finished but it was scary wondering why she was so quiet. I think maybe she was worn out from the weekend as well!
