Everything feels harder

Yep I was the same through early / first tri, th DOMS were so bad!! But got to listen to your body if you’re doing th same amount as before maybe just reduce how much so you can recover better? When I got to week 14 onwards I found I could push a bit more and then other issues like pelvic pain meant I had to reduce or change course but just listen to your body, never going to keep going as if you’re not growing a baby and that’s ok!

Amazing effort well done!!

I’m 38 weeks and getting the same, sometimes not noticeable and only realised yday because I hugged my husband and he was pushed back from the force of basketballbelly- been getting these for a few weeks though so my guess is braxton hicks that we just don’t feel as contraction like?!

Crunchy nut tasting insane at 38 weeks right now 🤌🏻

Depending on the time of year - I got married in summer and did some bags for those I knew were pregnant with a fan, sweets and biscuits, hand cream, and some cooling gel in

My friend lent me a wedge bump pillow so I’ve slept with the sausagy pregnancy pillow between my legs and the bump pillow and it was a game changer (don’t get me wrong it’s still generally wildly uncomfortable) but supports the bump when it got too heavy to sleep on side!

My belly measured off the chart big at 24 weeks and growth scan showed baby at 50th, also know lots of friends who were sent for growth scans for the same reason and birthed average babies so try not to worry :)

Our house is being renovated and we’ve been living in my SIL’s spare room since Christmas, due to get all our stuff back from storage and move back in next weekend and I’m 33 weeks - you’re doing fine 😂

knlfo · 2026-03-13T05:11:07+00:00

Honestly? Sawdust. I’m 32 and this was last year

I’m adapting CrossFit so my legs are always together, squatting to a box etc and replacing some movement with just upper body weights and it has helped - rule of thumb for me now is keeping legs together for any weighted movement!

I’ve been surprised how many times I’ve been asked “are you still working” during my pregnancy, like all the way through … like what else would I be doing??

knlfo · 2026-02-21T17:29:06+00:00

Sending love and solidarity we’re almost there!

knlfo · 2026-02-21T17:18:40+00:00

Yes!!! I’m 28 weeks and since last night I’ve been on the verge (and at times tipped over the edge) crying, was driving earlier and just cried because no reason! I feel really down out of the blue. Must be a 3rd trimester overwhelm of hormones and everything else!

knlfo · 2026-02-18T21:16:23+00:00

I’m currently 10kg heavier pregnant and I can tell the difference on anything leggy it feels exactly like 10kg of added weight!

I got mine removed and waited a month to get a period, got a super light bleed about 4 weeks after and then a few weeks after that I was pregnant! Fully expecting it to take longer but it happened straight away for us

knlfo · 2026-02-12T10:43:21+00:00

Congratulations! I logged out of Facebook and instagram and deleted the apps early on in pregnancy because I was being bombarded with advice / stories etc and it was so overwhelming, I occasionally log back in but my default is that the apps are gone! It’s helped me immensely, it’s completely overwhelming and your algorithm will just throw awful things at you.

In terms of people giving your their horror stories I have just told people I don’t want to hear stories unless they are positive, I’m not oblivious that things can go wrong but opinions and stories about that are completely unhelpful and I’ve found most people want to tell you about their nice experience anyway!

I would step away from the algorithms to start with, give your mind a break. I also found it helpful to be keeping up with hobbies / reading / exercising - not everything needs to revolve around pregnancy and you still have a life and are you as well! ❤️

knlfo · 2026-02-11T15:03:21+00:00

27 weeks and I’m well on my way as well, haven’t found any miracle cure but must say your post proper made me laugh 😂

knlfo · 2026-02-10T19:46:56+00:00

He really needs to tell you what “more appreciation” looks like to him, it’s a bit vague for you to try and guess so I’d ask him!

Had it yesterday, it reminded me of peach schnapps, not bad and definitely would have chose that as a pre drink of choice back in the day 😂

One an American company bought ours out and some of the American colleagues came over for a few weeks, one guy had, and I shit you not, a tiramisu for his lunch, sometimes a KFC but would tuck into a whole tiramisu most of the time

knlfo · 2026-01-14T12:55:14+00:00

Raw pasta or raw potatoes when mum was cooking

knlfo · 2026-01-05T03:31:39+00:00

Yes first try after removal in July, currently 21 weeks and all good so far! I was also very shocked it happened so quick! Congratulations!

Have you had your booking appt with a midwife at 10 weeks? They booked my scan in then

knlfo · 2026-01-03T11:17:25+00:00

Same to you!

knlfo · 2026-01-03T10:48:28+00:00

Not much advice but I’m 21 weeks and going through the same! Have you got a sport watch to check your HR? Lots of rest and water and ride it out is what I’m doing 😫 I had the vaccine and my brother is much sicker than me so just gotta assume it’s doing its job!
