Time for my weekly weigh-in
I'm 5'6" and starting weight was 125lb, and this is my fourth pregnancy. I am due July 27th which is only 3 weeks away now. Wow almost there.. I got quite a few practice contractions this past week and went on a trip 4 hours away for a few days during which I didn't log any food I ate
Also my ankles/feet and calves started swelling this past week which never happened before. I think all the sitting in the car might have done that. Feeling a LOT of pelvic pressure, I think the baby might have dropped. So I was kind of panicky today and packed all my hospital bags and wrote a list of last minute stuff to add if I go into labor. I'm kind of ready but also getting a bit scared.. I have not done this in 6 years.
You are doing so well! My swelling started after a long car trip too (8 hours both ways). A friend told me I had dropped yesterday and I panicked too, and finally got the stuff for my emergency hospital bag (in case the homebirth goes pear-shaped). I'm scared too as it's been nearly 5 years for me.
Lol, for me it has been kind of abstract, I guess when you feel the baby drop you think wow, it's really going to happen! I think my pregnancy hormones made me more scared also, I have been pretty much at peace the whole time and then I had a panic moment and thought I couldn't do it. I hope your home birth goes well and as planned with no need for the emergency hospital bag! I have a midwife also but am choosing to deliver at the hospital just in case anything goes wrong... if it goes well I am going home 3 hours after the birth I hate being at the hospital but I just didn't want to risk it since my house is almost an hour away. 0 -

Congratulations Kelly! That's so exciting, I can't wait to hear your update when you have your baby 0 -
I know how you feel, at 5'3" I put on weight in a similar fashion my 1st pregnancy. This 2nd time around I have found ample water, limiting refined carbs and sugar, and calorie counting has helped. Provided you are doing your best, try not to sweat the weight gain, your body will gain what it needs to grow a baby. And yes, I know both "doing our best" and "not sweating the weight gain" are easier said than done.

so after my check up yesterday I hadn't gained any weight in 2 weeks and lost 1 lb .. I guess replacing my soda with water helped out a lot ..0 -
Could be worse. If you try to keep your gain to a pound a week you'll finish between 30 and 35lbs, which is around average gain so it seems. This may seem a little excessive given your height, but if you're eating healthily you're unlikely to gain every week. If you find it hard to adjust your diet perhaps you could walk or swim the extra calories away? Plus at 28 weeks you are actually at the tail end of of growth spurt and your weight gain should slow down temporarily shortly anyway, making maintaining your current weight a little easier.

yes very true I just hope if I reach 30 lbs then I cant be mad .. its all the weight I lost just to be able to conceive and I know it should be that hard to lose it again .. dr check up yesterday I lost 1 lb in over 2 weeks just replacing my soda with water .. my eating is not so un healthy its my thirst that makes me mad lol .0 -

I was sick yesterday but didn't think it would cause me to lose a whole pound. So that was kind of odd. I'm still not logging, focusing on healthy choices seems to work better for me right now which is counter intuitive but whatever works.0 -

Here's my 38 week check-in.. just two more to go hopefully! I'm 5'6" and started at 125lb. This is my fourth baby and I eat around 1700 cals a day plus exercise calories (this is my maintenance but I've been gaining well so far and the baby measures exactly average according to my ultrasound a couple weeks ago). The reason I didn't up my calories over that is because I had a very large baby and didn't want to go through that again, with the blessing of my midwife My goal was to gain 20 lb total but I guess I will be going over a little bit in the next couple of weeks. But I'm so close I am starting not to care as much lol! Hopefully the baby will be around 8lb at birth as according to ultrasound and that is more manageable I hope
