I’m 20 weeks along in my pregnancy and it feels like my baby is nocturnal.
We’re half way there! My baby is about the size of a banana (maybe a little longer). I’ve gained just under 10 pounds, but I feel a lot heavier. Similar to my first pregnancy, this baby is nocturnal and loves to move around at bedtime. I wish I could say I’ve been just as active. I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve been to the gym in the past five months. That’s sad!
I plan on spending more time at the gym. Spring is next week, so I’m looking forward to enjoying some nice outdoor weather.
According to the peeps at BabyCenter, I should make sure to take in enough iron. I am a carrier of hemoglobin C, so I’ve got to stay on top of it. It doesn’t mean I have the condition. But as I mentioned in a previous post, I do suffer from some effects. I’m not big on eating meat, so I’ll have to find other substitutes.
20 Weeks Pregnancy Symptoms
How I’m feeling: Happy, excited, exhausted. Surprising, I’m still able to sleep on my stomach. I’m sure that’ll change in a week or so. I’m still feeling a bit tired at times. But, that’s to be expected-I guess. I can’t lie, I do have mood swings. My appetite continues to increase, and it’s getting harder to make healthy choices. But, I can’t beat myself up for having a treat once in a while.
Stace-
You shouldnt be surprised by the mood swings … After all, you’re a woman ! Don’t you All have mood swings (LOL). Seriously, you look more gorgeous than ever. You have that wonderful pregnancy glow.
Imagine my surprise while I’m watching “The Following” on Fox…and I see you on the show!!! I was so excited. My husband started laughing at me and said, “You’re acting like you actually know her!” I don’t, but hey I read your blog! Anyway, I just wanted to say, “Congratulations. You were great!”
Thanks so much Erika!
