AMA Moms Check-in August

Y’all. 
I am 19 weeks. 
This child weighs approximately 1/2 pound. 
And there is no more room in my abdomen. None, I tell you! 
Somehow, in the next 21 weeks, I’m supposed to accommodate 7ish more pounds? 
No. 
False. 
It’s already super uncomfortable to bend over and hard to get off the couch or out of bed. 
My intestines and my bladder are going to start oozing out of my nose. 

Lord help me. 

How are you all holding up, my fellow geriatric mommas?

    I’m 19+3. She’s about 9 Oz according to the anatomy scan a week ago. I feel like I’m gaining more weight and just look like it, not so much pregnant. My stomach muscles hurt, I’m assuming from everything shifting. When I take my bra off at night, my nipples and breasts are so swollen that they hurt. 

    I’m a teacher and I go back in 2 weeks. I was 10 weeks when the year ended, now I’m curious to see what the rest of the pregnancy holds. I’m ready for Winter Break and my little munchkin to get here (she’s due 12/24)

    I feel this!!! I’m 22 weeks with my first.  I was petite starting out (5’-1” and slight) and I feel so overly stretched right now!  I can’t fathom how my body is going to stretch out father!  Im trying to prepare for potentially 4 miserable months ahead.  Gah!  Glad to know we’re all in this together!

    21 weeks FTM, starting to get uncomfortable and regretting taking on full time work hours. 

    Still no bump, but i can feel everything expanding.

    I am 4’11 and my last baby was 11lb5oz. I was a house by the end. Constantly asked if I was sure there was only one baby in there. Our bodies are amazing. But I sure did go pee a lot. But don’t worry it didn’t ooze out of my nose. You’ll be ok! :)

    I’m 22 weeks and he’s measuring a week ahead! They said at the ultrasound 2 weeks ago he’s already 1lb! I’m pretty sure I’m not prepared for the monster I may be giving birth too. He also likes to sit low so I think he’s making me pee a little in my pants every day. I’m trying not to freak out that I may be leaking amniotic fluid cause I can’t get in with my dr right now

    22 weeks and my little one literally bulges out of my stomach on the right side frequently. It’s so uncomfortable already! 

    I’ve been getting a lot of pain as well from the muscles stretching. My belly button is slowly transforming into an outie! 

    I think I’m gonna be a blimp but the end of this. I already feel huge.

    Me, every week: okay this is the week I remember to check in and catch up over on the bump board, I'm doing it.

    Me, today: fuck I'm 20 weeks pregnant when did that happen???

    Anyway. I actually feel alright other than my knees are killing me whenever I switch positions, and my back/pelvic area gets real testy if I've been standing for a while.  I'm having a lot of body image baggage, but I knew I would and it's not as bad as I was afraid it would be. I'm also feeling little jabs and wobbles most days, and historically this is when my feelings of ambivalence in an unplanned pregnancy grow more affectionate.

    That said, while I can feel changes and shifting and soreness in my abdomen, I am a fat lady and one would not guess I'm pregnant by looking at me. I'd always hoped I'd have a pregnancy where I got a cute little baby bump, but I always go from regularly chonky gal to "ope you are very pregnant" with no seeming in-between phase. 😅

    I'm feeling old and my joints are so sore. I'm looking forward to the weather turning cool so I can wear leggings instead of shorts all day. I hate the way my thighs are touching. 😩 The baby wiggling around helps me feel a bit better about it though.

    It's funny.  I should relate more to the AMA category.  I'm likely the oldest person in here.  (I just turned 48.)  But this is my first and I feel really good overall.  So with nothing to compare my pregnancy to, I just feel happy with how it's going and my age doesn't feel like a thing.  (Though i sometimes feel like I'm supposed to feel it's more of a thing bc of what I think other people might think.)  Being in the second trimester is easier for me so far - minus STILL being woken up multiple times a night with vivid dreams.  And I'm starting to feel her move a little which is so cool (and weird and cool).  Anyhow, that's my update.  It's good to hear how you're all doing.
