I'm nearing the end of my second pregnancy and my bump is huge, especially compared to my first pregnancy, everyone has commented on it and I regularly hear the "sure there's not two in there." At a 30 week scan he was showing to be 94th percentile in weight for that gestation.
I am usually a 12-14 and relatively toned, train as regularly as I can and eat well, I had an emergency section with my DD in 2021 and I think due to breastfeeding, eating well and walking was back to almost my pre pregnancy size quite quickly. I had however trained more in that pregnancy compared to this one, and was probably at a fitter pre pregnancy shape going into that pregnancy than I was with this one.
Due to a hematoma I couldn't train beyond a bit of yoga until 20 weeks, I then had to wait until 30 weeks to ramp anything up due to placenta location concerns. After that was all sorted I really had no motivation, was heavy and tired and just wasn't up for it. While my bump is pretty big, I don't feel massive anywhere else really, but I'm thinking how daunting it's going to be trying to come back from this especially around the tummy 😵💫
I'll be having a c section again most likely and plan on breastfeeding/walking/eating well again.
Looking for any advice/best practice/positive stories please ❤️
