I am currently 9 weeks postpartum and have lost 60 pounds of my 80 pound weight gain!!!! Super happy, I felt absolutely horrible gaining so much weight during pregnancy. It took a massive toll on my mental health. So losing this much already has brought me back so much happiness! I can fit into most my clothes again, walk up the stairs without being winded lol, and move a lot quicker and i look more like my pre pregnancy look! (minus the bigger hips and fits lol) Only 20 more pounds to go 💪🏽

Just wanted to share my happiness 😊

What happened to the old tdee calculator that was linked here? Is anyone able to send me a link to it, I prefer it much more

FTM. Went for a membrane sweep friday at 12 (39w+2), lo and behold they couldn’t do it because I wasn’t open at all and very high up. I was SO relieved, like wayy too happy about this because i was so scared of it, I feel like my pure relief and joy from them NOT being able to do it sent me into labor 😭, two hours later I started getting mild contractions lasting anywhere between 20secs-60sec every 6-20ish minutes

After all of yesterday I had these until I woke up at 3am and now there’re stronger lasting a minute or more every 5ish minutes. Thing is it’s definitely in the front I have pain but the back is so much worse 😭. Wish me luck, hoping to stay home as long as possible, I have a doula but I got no clue when i’m supposed to ask her to come over? Im too awkward and I’m scared 😭

Currently 35 weeks, today I’ve gotten like 3 times where i’ve just gotten like super tired and lightheaded and pale all of a sudden to where i’d just had to go lay down because i couldn’t stay up (ended up falling asleep for about 10 minutes ish each time) Also the first time it was after breakfast, my husband noticed I started slurring my words, then I got really tired and pale and just fell asleep on the couch 💀. I see my midwives tomorrow morning anyways but I was just wondering if maybe this is normal? I have no other complications and have been very healthy besides anemia this pregnancy, so strange lol
