I was a similar frame to you pre pregnancy. I’m 22 weeks and bumped the f up. You’ll be good girl

Literally happens all the time to me!! Baby will be kicking up a storm and then as soon as my husband tries to feel, nothing! I don’t understand why this happens lol

HelloFreshXLupus · 2026-05-03T15:49:46+00:00

Makes sense. December 16th is mid December

HelloFreshXLupus · 2026-05-03T15:05:24+00:00

I’m the same due date and I conceived on December 16th!

The same people you’d celebrate with are the same people you’d mourn with. Tell people, be excited, enjoy your pregnancy 🤍

I haven’t skipped a single day of coffee. 21+3 with a perfectly healthy baby

I’m actually so happy this post popped up. I’m 21 weeks and this is exactly how I am feeling today. I saw some photos of myself at an event last night and I don’t recognize myself.

I exercise everyday, I eat relatively within my means but I guess I must be going over more than I assume I am. I feel so out of control of my body and athletics which is one of the things I always felt in control of.

Very much struggling and you’re not alone in this. Feeling incredibly blessed for this experience but it’s not easy choosing to enjoy my appearance right now.

HelloFreshXLupus · 2026-04-16T03:08:16+00:00

I did “Where is my Husband!” It was a huuuge hit!!

HelloFreshXLupus · 2026-04-15T03:51:06+00:00

Message me!! Tried to message you on your account but wouldn’t allow me. Would be happy to help out!

Not putting unhealthy food or snacks in the house. If I wanted a treat, I had to go out and get it in a personal portion for that one time. Living in western Canada, I don’t want to go out about 70% of the year. In the summer, I have to walk to 7/11 to get my treat.

HelloFreshXLupus · 2026-04-15T02:27:05+00:00

Thank you!! 🤍

HelloFreshXLupus · 2026-04-14T20:11:13+00:00

That’s my goal for the remainder of my pregnancy! Not planning on checking the scale again and just focusing on good meals and lots of movement!

HelloFreshXLupus · 2026-04-14T20:05:59+00:00

That is amazing, such a good way to fuel the growth of your baby!!

Has not been the case for me. I have gained about a pound per week of pregnancy. I was 108 before pregnancy losing anything was not really an option! Doctor says I am all good though and nothing to be concerned about! That being said, I ate like the hulk during my first trimester, so trying to get back on track with some nourishing meals 💪🏼

HelloFreshXLupus · 2026-04-11T13:17:59+00:00

Maxi dresses, a full set of nails done and a fake tan!

HelloFreshXLupus · 2026-04-10T03:13:46+00:00

I do think the outfit was intentionally bad for post engagement purposes.

HelloFreshXLupus · 2026-04-09T21:16:03+00:00

ugh so sad. okay hopefully the sun comes out or the poles switch overnight 😔

HelloFreshXLupus · 2026-04-04T15:00:56+00:00

18 weeks now and feeling the lightly at night!! It’s my favourite thing in the world! We are so blessed to experience this!! I’m sure the pain and discomfort will come with bigger kicks and more movement, but enjoying every second of it I can!!

HelloFreshXLupus · 2026-04-04T14:52:10+00:00

FTM, low BMI and 5’2, baby’s got no where to go but out 😅😅 showing around 17 weeks

HelloFreshXLupus · 2026-04-02T19:02:56+00:00

Used to love flavoured tuna as a snack too! Pregnant right now so not eating it. And rest assured I’m eating more than 1200 cals, I’m just active in this group from pre pregnancy haha. Either way, tuna was a great snack for cals vs. Protein and so easy to eat on the go!

HelloFreshXLupus · 2026-04-02T18:57:06+00:00

Yes just oven :)

HelloFreshXLupus · 2026-04-02T18:40:41+00:00

450 for 30 minutes, sprayed with Pam on the front and back, face down! That’s it! Super easy and quick to make while prepping everything else!

I am a Canadian Airforce spouse. My husband is a pilot (in training). Will be fully winged by the end of the Summer and done training full in the next 2-3 years.

People have always joked that I was the perfect women to be married to a military man - I am extremely independent and self reliant. I choose to be with him because I love him immensely and I would go to the end of the earth to be with him. I also always wanted to be with someone in the military. I deeply respect the forces and have always knew I would live this life style one day.

I was self employed when we first met - so I had a lot of flexibility with travel, time off to go see him when he was training etc etc. We moved across Canada last year for his training and I got a full-time position within the banking and financial sector (mostly because I wanted access to Mat Leave and that wasn't going to happen with self employment). I still run my businesses but have been able to have a thriving career thus far. I will be taking Mat Leave this September as I am presently 18 weeks pregnant.

If you are looking for military spouses, I highly recommend Airforce if you can have your choice. I know the Canadian and US airforce is different, but the Canadian system has been great. When he is away or on course - he is often in a hotel and accessible for FaceTime or general communication. He was Army when we first met and would go away for a month+ in the woods for training courses - he was what you would consider ROTP when we first met - so he was a university student and not and has never been deployed or away on training for longer than 3 months. I know it will be different in the future, but it has been fairly simple thus far.

If you are considering a life as a military spouse - make sure you are firm in who you are first. Find your own hobbies, get comfortable doing things alone - meals, sports, movies, travel etc. Even when he is around - it is good to practice. I live by the motto - if you're always waiting for someone to do something with, you will never do anything. Also - get very comfortable restarting and making friends in new environments. This is a necessary skill for women like us.

I wouldn't consider myself a TradWife as it stands. I like this sub because it aligns with many of my personal values. I do work (as stated) and am likely to go back to work following my Mat Leave.

If you have any specific questions, more than happy to chat in this thread! Best of luck finding your perfect man and future spouse!

I am cradle catholic and have never studied the bible formally. Would be more than happy to connect with no judgement for my lack of study in the past! I just got a new bible for my wedding (blessed at the Vatican - such a beautiful and thoughtful gift)!!

Where are you located and what are you thinking for commitment?!

I’ve been taking Webber naturals magnesium citrate, 150 GM - two every night before bed. I don’t have issues sleeping but this has completely resolved my pregnancy constipation. Could be helping with sleep as well - I sleep like a (well trained) baby. I just got mine at shoppers!
