I'm 29 weeks as of today and everything has been going really well! Just got third trimester bloodwork back and I don't have GD (yay!) and things are normal (for me, anyway....Vit D has always been low, so that's nothing new. We're handling it with heavy duty supplements now yay).

Just wondering if anyone has ever noticed had a super active kiddo by this point. I can feel her in there every now and again with her little pokes and prods, but I feel like sooo many people are already at the stage of 'they're kicking my ribs out!!' At nearly 29 weeks. Are chill babies normal? I guess I was just expecting dance parties in there by this point but everything has been subtle...

Hi! 28 weeks today with my first and super curious about everyone's weight experiences. I started at 5'8" 256lbs, dropped to 240something my first trimester (because food aversion is the WORST) and have stayed right around 248ish the entire second trimester. I thought it was SUPER weird, but my OB assured me that it's totally normal and baby girl is measuring right on track. 🥰

I keep joking with my husband that this is by far the worst possible weight loss program ever, but I am very curious about others' experiences. Obviously weight loss isn't at all on my list of priorities, but I know most women add about 30ish pounds including the baby, fluids, etc. Has anyone actually ended up lighter than their starting weight after having their kiddo?? Also super aware that hormones, swelling, breastfeeding, and quite literally everything else plays into weight fluctuations, but I'm so curious haha.
