28 weeks marks the start of the third trimester. Only 12 more weeks to go! I've been feeling pretty good overall but lately I've definitely noticed that I'm pretty exhausted by 7 or 8 pm. The babe is doing well though, so active and growing like a weed. I can say the same for me - at least the growing part! Be sure to check out our four-week, eight pound growth spurt (eeek!) on the bumpdates page.
I have a friend due Dec. 14th. She had a doc appointment this week and got a scolding for too much weight gain. I remember getting a "bulk up" at this time in both pregnancies too. There is definitely something about the end of the second trimester that makes you pack on the pounds.
ReplyDeleteIt's annoying, but it will come off. I gained 40+ pounds with both boys. It took me 6 months to lose it all, but I did it both times. (Well, technically I still have 2 lbs of Warren weight to go).
And big babies are great. More chunk = more to love :)
Thanks for the encouragement, Heather. Thankfully, my doctor didn't freak out as much as I was. I really thought I was going to get yelled at. I explained what I was eating and how I'm still trying to exercise and she just seemed to shrug it off. Apparently some first time moms can retain a lot of fluid?? I hope that's the case anyway, lol! Either way I'm already itching to get back in shape. Oh well, it's worth it, right! Congratulations on loosing the baby weight, you look awesome!!
