Week 30: Symptoms ::  Most evenings my back is so uncomfortable! My doctor confirmed what I thought and my belly is just getting bigger and that’s what’s causing it – so it’s totally normal. Emmaline enjoys sandwiching herself between my ribs and hips, so sitting still for a length of time becomes uncomfortable so I […]

Week 29: Symptoms ::  I feel pregnant 😝 symptoms include occasional lower back pain (usually at the end of the day), waking up tired (can I just sleep for a day please?), being super hungry and then getting full quickly just to be hungry again later, and leaving the bathroom feeling like I still have […]

Week 28: Symptoms ::  Exhaustion. Sometimes I get super uncomfortable and nothing helps. And I can’t wear some of my maternity clothes anymore because they are too tight / not long enough. 😛 Food Aversions ::  Nothing specific. Food Cravings ::  A filling breakfast. Usually eggs, bread, fruit, orange juice, etc. Sleep :: I’ve accepted […]

Week 27: Symptoms ::  My mid-back (right at the bottom of my ribs) hurts occasionally (I’m guessing because my belly is getting heavier so my back muscles are being stretched more). I feel like I’m hungrier too… Food Aversions ::  Nothing specific. Food Cravings ::  Good food! Haha so pretty much “nothing specific, as long […]

Week 26: Symptoms ::  A solid night sleep has been hard to come by lately, and I’ve had a couple moments of feeling very uncomfortable (which I remember feeling around this time with Rylie, so I know it’s “normal”). This is my last week in the 2nd trimester, and then we’re onto the final stretch. […]

Week 25: Symptoms ::  Emmaline is definitely an active little one. She loves to move around and kick me. It’s so firm that it can be felt from the outside now. It’s getting uncomfortable to get up and down from places and bending over is a no go – squats all the way  😝 Food […]

Week 24: Symptoms ::  I’m very aware of my appearance these days but I think having a nice office job has instilled that in me as well because I need to look nice every day. My face is more “splotchy” so foundation is a must and I’ve started to lay out my outfit the night […]

Week 23: Symptoms ::  I’ve had some mild discomfort in my lower back a couple times, and I get very uncomfortable when I walk fast (my belly starts to ping in pain) so I’m forced to slow down. But when I sit down and put my feet up I really have no interest in moving […]

Week 22: Symptoms ::  I get physically tired quickly, and bending over (or squatting) to pick up Rylie is not a natural, fluid motion anymore haha. Plus, I do not find it comfortable when she climbs over it or puts any kind of pressure on it. Food Aversions ::  Nothing really. Food Cravings ::  I’m […]
