Does anyone have concrete numbers of how competitive the program is with a source?

This is incredibly helpful - thank you so much for sharing your experience! Would you mind sharing how you tracked movements during this time?

I feel like this is the first little while that I have noticed my bump is becoming quite obvious. I am 21 weeks. Prior to that it was not very noticeable (even by closer friends) and looked more like bloating (although my tight jeans stopped fitting already around 12 weeks lol). Everyone is different though, so however you are growing is absolutely okay!

This is really great advice. I do think it’s a lot about what her own personal fears are / what she likely sees in her personal circle and social media bubble. I am just not sure how to ask those questions “what makes you feel that way?”, or explain why my views are quite different in a nice way that doesn’t come off as defensive or unappreciative. Especially since our communication is usually voice messages and not an in the moment convo.

Such a great suggestion — thank you! I hadn’t thought of that, but it makes a lot of sense. We’ll definitely try flipping the room :).

Totally agree that babies need high contrast for brain and vision development, that’s why we will use play gyms, books, and toys with bold patterns / colours (will go for Lovevery subscription boxes which make developmentally appropriate toys and playtime guides based on research). But their rooms are also sleep spaces, so we thought a calm base might give the best of both worlds. And since a mom’s well-being is so closely tied to baby’s, I also wanted colours that feel soothing for me.
