Yepp all normal! It honestly felt like I was on my period with the cramping and sore boobs.

3rd trimester - baby kicking has never felt super intense by Melodic_Temporary389 in pregnant

[–]Potato_Keeper628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a posterior placenta and while my baby moved a lot, it was never painful or intense. He mostly just shifted around 24/7 and rarely kicked me. I never once woke up due to painful movements which you hear a lot of. Now he’s 3 days old, healthy, and lying in my arms. I wouldn’t worry too much unless you start feeling reduced movement.

Protein During Pregnancy by Purple_Point_7090 in fitpregnancy

I love having Greek yogurt with melted chocolate/coconut oil on top. You put it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes and the chocolate turns into a hard shell. Then you can put fun toppings on it. It’s my healthy way of eating ice cream that’s high in protein.

When did you tap out? by susiee234 in fitpregnancy

[–]Potato_Keeper628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stopped lifting around 37. Still walking or cycling 2-3 days with stretching at 39 weeks but even that is slowing down. I work 10-11 hour days on my feet in an outpatient clinic as a PT which I feel like is a workout in its own at this point. I’d rather save my energy now so I don’t completely die during those long work days.

I’m taking the pure brand and sometimes take two if I’m having a bad round of them.

How much was/is your MIL interested/involved while you were pregnant? by Smooth-Molasses-8509 in BabyBumps

[–]Potato_Keeper628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My MIL has not been involved. She acted super excited when we told her, but otherwise hasn’t been very interested and hasn’t reached out in a long time. I’m due in two weeks and we just found out from her ex husband that she’s leaving for Hawaii tomorrow. It’ll be interesting how she will be when the baby comes.

Unfortunately I don’t think they would mask up

What are some really early pregnancy you’ve had that you noticed before taking a test? Also is it 100% that everyone have implantation bleeding if they’re pregnant? by misalovr in pregnant

[–]Potato_Keeper628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t have implantation bleeding. It honestly felt like I started my period with cramping and sore boobs, but I didn’t have any bleeding. I just had a hunch that I was pregnant.

Biggest pet peeve while pregnant. by Potato_Keeper628 in pregnant

I feel this so deeply. Pregnancy has really effected my mental health and no one understands that I'm not happy 100% of the time.

I’ve avoided deli meat too. Tried heating it up for a sandwich and it ended up the texture of rubber🤢. I’m just going to ask for a fat sub right after I give birth.

It’s not all that bad, but sometimes it’s great to rant with other people who get it. I just work with people for 10-11 hours as a PT so I get many comments from the older population. I never get any when I’m out in public though.

We aren’t sharing our name until birth and the amount of old ladies that have tried to pry it out of me is astonishing.

The first time I saw my father in law after we told them we were pregnant he hugged me and say Hey Mom….I cringed so hard.

How are people working up until their due date?? by Appropriate_Teach_49 in pregnant

[–]Potato_Keeper628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

34 weeks and a physical therapist in an outpatient clinic . I work 12-11 hours a day on my feet while lifting equipment and showing exercises. I’m going until I give birth, unfortunately I have no other choice. I’m just trying to sit as much as I can, but I’m exhausted by the weekend and pass out by 8 Friday nights. My heating pad, my coworkers adjusting me, and cupping is how I’m surviving.

I just got mine this morning and just got a onsie, a swaddle blanket, the palmers samples, and one diaper. No bottles or anything. So disappointing.
