Week 21 Pregnancy Vlog

WHAT WEEK?

21

HOW BIG IS THE BABY?

Size of a large banana 🍌 (about 28cm / weighing about 400g)

WHATS NEW THIS WEEK?

Braxton hicks?? My tummy is getting really tight and hard and kind of sore and uncomfortable and it sometimes happens a few times a day but only in one spot like a hard ball

It comes and goes!

Cracked nipples?

Swollen face?🙈

I feel really hungry and tired all the time!

MOST CHALLENGING MOMENT

I feel really moody and emotional and very unlike myself. I feel so out of myself mentally at the moment. I am grumpy and just react very emotionally and rashly to things at the moment. This week was tough for me as I really just felt really depressed... and down and tired and lethargic. Very OCD and been eating a lot of shit at night. Need to just go to sleep at nights and get the rest my body needs. But I’m just feeling out of it this week. I want to change it but it’s also okay and I am trying to be patient with myself and my body and all the changes going on. Will speak to doc about all I’m feeling.

Headaches and tense neck

MOST EXCITING MOMENT

Not much this week. I guess resting?

5 months in and Im still at that awkward in between phase where I just look plump and bloated and still don’t really look pregnant. But each week that passes the bump really does get more and more preggy looking. I must say I definitely am FEELING very pregnant this week🙈 my bum and thighs are also growing along with my bump🙈😉

STARTING WEIGHT?

59kg

CURRENT WEIGHT?

I didn’t actually weigh myself this week (maybe been avoiding it? Haha) but I can definitely tell I’ve been packing on the pounds🙈

EXERCISE?

Not much this week

MEALS?

We had a cheese fondue with some friends. I had heart burn and mucus for a while after but it was so good🤣

Loads of toast with cream cheese and salmon and just loads of bread in general and carbs.

Also had some Easter eggs and chocolate!

FOOD AVERSIONS?

Pretty much everything. There’s nothing I really feel like.

CRAVINGS?

Ginger ale

Soda water

Ice

Water

Oranges

Orange juice

Green smoothies

REFLECTIONS?

I feel like I could sleep for years and go on a retreat at the moment 🤣 I’m just so tired and feel like I have so much to do. My brain is tired. Want to feel better so I can connect with baby again more deeply and be more present.

Feel like my bum and thighs are growing as well as my belly... and oh hello cellulite 😉 all completely normal and natural things during pregnancy. Especially due to all the oestrogen. But I would like to focus a bit more on toning and doing some pilates. If I am blessed with the energy. I will try to cultivate it🙏🏻
