My knees hurt... I think they're telling me I've gained too much weight. Ugh baby boy I love you but you're killing…

My feet are KILLING me today! I'm so not used to having this much weight packed on

I know. My feet, hips, knees and back and terrrrrible. I've gained 45 pounds 😭😭😭😔😔😔

@emkasting,

It'll come right off I'm sure! Are you planning to breastfeed?

I'm hoping! I was like 120 before getting pregnant and not my ass is almost 170! And yes I do. I'm sure itll come off but still, it's insane! @emkasting

That's how much I weighed pre preg. I haven't even been looking at the scale this whole time. At my last appointment I'd gained 23 so I'm sure I've packed more on by now 😢 I know exactly how you feel I promise! And I'm not the biggest fan of going to the gym, plus when the hell when I'll be able to go anyways with a newborn!

Yeah I only know cause of the doctors. I'm hoping to take walks and just being active this summer will help. I don't know how I've gained so much! It's insane. @emkasting

Some women just do regardless of what precautions they take! Pregnancy is so strange lol.

It is! I mean I don't always eat the greatest but damn I Deff don't eat all garbage! And do my yoga. It's nuts. Lol. @emkasting

I've taken crazy long walks my whole pregnancy. They're getting a lot harder to keep up with every day but I've certainly tried. And like you I have my days where I eat like shit but definitely not all the time. I'm just so self conscious about the weight gain, I'm sick of everyone that sees me being like OMG are you gonna have the baby right now?! Like I have 4 more weeks damnit!

Exactly! Like I splurge but nothing crazy. I've gotten pretty self conscious now to, I've got stretch marks. 😣 @emkasting

I just started getting them at 32 weeks, now they're creeping up by my belly button when previously they were at the very bottom of the bump. I tried so hard to prevent them.. bio oil, stretch mark lotion w coco butter..I guess there would have been nothing I could do to prevent them though. I just thought I was in the clear especially since my mom never had them! I have started to feel really huge. I don't even like looking at myself from the side, it's pretty shocking lol. My bump is measuring 38 even though I'm almost 36 weeks so that doesn't help

Yep, I got mine around like 34. On the bottom. They're getting redder too. I thought I was gonna be good and lotioned up like seriously 3 times a day. And I feel huge too, but he's actually measuring small too. At this point, it's like fuck it. They're there oh well. @emkasting

Once you have the baby I've heard mederma for stretch marks works really well, I've used mederma for a nasty scar I have and it worked great so I can only assuming the stuff for stretch marks works just as well!

Yeah I'll give it a try! If not well, atleast the came because of having a baby! @emkasting

Do you have your hospital bag packed?!

Yes! And it's in the car already. Lol. We put it in there the other day when we went to l&d and if one stress test goes not so good, I might have to stay and they'll induce me! @emkasting

Oh dang well that's awesome, you're prepared then! It won't be long til you have your little man ☺️ I can't wait to see pics! It's gonna make me even more excited for mine. You're due only 2 weeks before me too! I'm starting to think my baby is going to be way overdue because he hasn't dropped yet and I was told once they drop you "usually" have roughly 3-4 weeks before labor begins. Of course everyone is different but since I haven't had Braxton hicks or anything I'm thinking I may go late

Yeah I figure better be ready cause who knows! Awh, its so exciting! I have only dropped a little bit so that doesn't always mean something! And you're not missing anything with Braxton hicks, they're annoying. Lol. Babies do crazy things and come when they feel like it! @emkasting
